I explain to you:
my temporany folder is on another drive that is in fat FS and is shared with XP (tha I use sometimes)
my complete folder is in my /home/
but this situation is from the first time to use Linux (over three years ago) and I never have problems......
Now: when you say to rename the folder and after back the file is the same thing to delete the profile of ~/.aMule/ and start again for the first time when I start up aMule CVS.......
Anyway I try again that you say before, if crash I use your suggest command from bash.......
After this I post here and see what happens....
thanks so so much ....................
