This is printed when it starts (which it does immediately): [22:00:02.367] Couldn't read "/home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs": Permission denied Why is it doing this? Even if I "sudo -s" before the install it's still checking the local user's config files. Why? Why has it picked this user? It shouldn't be doing this.
