[Nottingham] Odd behaviour in KDE

[Lee]

are you getting any other errorlog output, from samba/nfs

is that mount an nfs mount, or samba mount or something else??

check out /var/log/* or dmesg..have a snoop around, i dunno where the
kde shell sticks it output , if you run an instance of the file explorer
from an xterm, you might seem some extended error reporting?

do you have any per use quota's enabled?

post your error logs here..might shed some light on the subject.

what kind of usb device are you using, I'd like to know?

what's you signal strength like, and do you have a good connection to
your access point?

Laters,
Lee
