I probably wont be able to help all the way through the best solution
but it might help if you provide a copy of the result of the
ls -ltr
command, done in a terminal open in this folder.
Open terminal
type "cd pour-la-sortie"
where pour-la-sortie is the absolute adress of the folder
and type "ls -ltr > for-stribus-support.txt"
and open for-stribus-support.txt and copy and paste its content
on http://scribus.pastebin.fr for example
and send us the adress
+ : do your trainee know the root password ?
