[Pkg-mc-devel] [Bug 675541] Re: Saving setting - Permission denied

[Yury V. Zaytsev]

Very strange. I can not reproduce it. Did you try to sudo chown -R
youruser:youruser ~/.mc and then run sudo mc again? If you tried sudo mc
the first thing, of course it will create the configuration files with
owner root and never change it in the future.

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mc

Hi,
when im running mc like root ( sudo mc ) and exit, setting is saved with root:root privileges. Next run when im running it like normal user, mc isnt able to save setting because isnt allowed to write into ~/.mc/ini

ps at T61:~$ sudo ls -lsa ~/ | egrep ".mc"
ls: cannot access /home/ps/.gvfs: Permission denied
