Dolphin error on close [SOLVED]

[jbaerbock]

Unable to save bookmarks in /home/jbaerbock/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive.


That is the error I now get after I ran ntfs-config in order to fix my ntfs problems. Konq does not show any errors however and I have 13GB of space free.

Re: Dolphin error on close

Navigate to the file and hover your mouse over the file. Are you listed as the Owner?

[jbaerbock]

Re: Dolphin error on close

Yup permissions say I am the owner.

Good grief why did they release such a buggy linux? I have had sooo many problems already.

Re: Dolphin error on close

Do the Permissions display as -rw-r--r-- ?

Re: Dolphin error on close

Well what I am trying to look at is my home folder, works fine but when i close it gave me that error in dolphin. My username has all permissions, read, write, whaknot else.

Re: Dolphin error on close

The bookmarks.xml the error refers to is permissions set to root. I ran a sudo dolphin and changed them but for some reason it did not save the setting.

Re: Dolphin error on close

If it's truly an ownership issue, open a konsole and type:

sudo chown jbaerbock:jbaerbock /home/jbaerbock/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml

This will change the ownership and group to your user account for the file.

Re: Dolphin error on close

Awesome thanks. My question is why did it not work when I used the GUI under sudo to change the permissions, settings did not stick.

...why did it not work when I used the GUI under sudo ...

That, as they say, is the $64,000.00 question. It just seems that not all of the GUI utilities work as one expects they should.

I think in general Gutsy isn't working as everyone expected it should lol. Seriously, lots of bugs here.

Snowhog told how to fix it, BUT next time you use "open as root":

Unable to save bookmarks in /home/USER/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive.

Re: Dolphin error on close [SOLVED]

Funny thing is I wasn't even trying to save a bookmark, just browsed in my folders then hit x. Yeah im going back to Mint.

Thanks, Snowhog. I've had this needling little aggravation since I upgraded to Gutsy. Never bothered trying to fix it until I noticed your post.
