OP did say that he was running Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1, and under Ubuntu, it is the norm that users are in a group by the same name, consisting of a single member, themselves. For that reason, $USER1 ought to be the same as $USER2, for a normal Ubuntu install. Because it may not be a “normal Ubuntu” install, but follow the norm for most other distros, the possibility of $USER1!=$USER2 was real, unusual for Ubuntu, but not necessarily a problem. The only important part here is the first group of "rw-", the others won't change anything (in this respect), as darktable is running with the login name as user. IF Dt is running as such, which ought to be so, but, depending on how it was invoked, it may not necessarily be so. for OP: > Something else that *may* play a role (based on some other questions about > access I've seen): are you by any chance using a snap package for version > 3.2.1, and a different install method for 3.0.2? One particular reason why it may be dependent on the invocation.
