Hi,
When starting KDE4 with the "xinitrc" method, I got an error in an X dialog:
------------
Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your
installation.
------------
and there is this message in the terminal where I typed "startx":
------------
Error: cannot create directory "/var/tmp/kde-cache-pierre": Permission
denied
------------
So I looked at /var/tmp:
pierre [ ~ ]$ ls -ld /var/tmp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 23 sept. 13:48 /var/tmp
However, /var/tmp is created in LFS "Creating Directories" page as:
install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
So somehow, the permissions got changed. I grepped the BLFS source for /var/tmp
and found only one page where it occured: dhcpcd:
There is the configure option --dbdir=/var/tmp
So my guess is that dhcpcd changes the permissions of its "dbdir". It might be
better to use another name?
Pierre
