undeletable?

[savsav]

I have something on my xubuntu 8.04 desktop which I cannot delete.

It's a shell script.

When I right-click on it, the "delete" option is greyed out.

Help , please!

Change the ownership of the file and then delete it:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo chown username scriptname
rm scriptname


Alternatively, open nautilus (or your file browser) with sudo and remove that way:

gksudo nautilus

[savsav]

Thanks!
