Problems in Linux #11

Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde doesn't work correctly in my Fedora 21 GNOME. When I run "./FlashTool" from the terminal in the extracted FlashTool folder the Flashtool starts with a dialogue box stating that "Please move /home/kuntal/Desktop/FlashTool/firmwares content to /root/.flashTool/firmwares" which I can't remove and also can't move the firmwares either.

Please somebody help me. A detailed tutorial of installing Flashtool in Fedora 21 GNOME and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca Cinnamon wil be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance. screenshot from 2015-04-22 12 28 48

su
cp -R /home/kuntal/Desktop/firmwares/ /root/.flashTool/
rm -R /home/kuntal/Desktop/firmwares

It should work :)

@kuntal0704 I see in your screenshot that you still have the "/home/kuntal/Desktop/firmwares" folder - you actually need to delete this one!

@Androxyde do you care to to rename this ambiguous message? I believe all forums are full of people who did not understand this message (including me...). Furthermore its not clear at all, why one even has to delete this folder...

@famo Thank you, after deleting the firmwares folder, it works perfectly. Now the problem is solved.
