They mean nothing to me but hopefully to you. I don't get it as to why this only affects Ubuntu and not Debian/ Linux generally. In the meantime I've established a workaround on a test PC by mounting a directory on a different drive, on to the gpodder download directory. This fools gpodder and seems to work reliably. Extract from my blog: To mount one folder on to another you need to use the following command syntax: sudo mount -o bind <source folder path> <destination folder path> This is what I did: In my case my gPodder folder is located in /home/username/gpodder/ and I wanted it to be located on /media/data/gpodder/ 1. I moved all files located in the source folder /home/username/gpodder/ to the destination folder /media/data/gpodder/ 2. Opening Terminal I entered the command sudo mount -o bind /home/username/gpodder/ /media/data/gpodder/ This mounted the destination folder on to the source folder, effectively redirecting it to the new location. Whilst this command is useful, it’s of no use if you have to keep reentering it every time you wish to use gPodder. To make this permanent you will need to edit /etc/fstab and add it in. Using the above example this is what I did: 1. In Terminal enter the following to edit fstab as sudo: sudo nano /etc/fstab 2. At the bottom of the file add the following comment: # Mount Folder /media/data/Documents/ on to /home/username/gpodder/ 3. Then add the following line below: /media/data/gpodder/ /home/username/gpodder/ auto bind,gid=46,defaults 0 0 4. Save the file 5. Exit nano and from Terminal enter the following to rerun fatab and mount devices listed in it: sudo mount -a If the syntax was correct, there should be no error messages and you should be returned to the command prompt. Using you file manger check that the /home/username/gpodder/ folder contains the same content as /media/data/gpodder. If uncertain, create a file or folder in one and see if it appears in another, you may have to refresh the display (F5) to display the change. GPodder will continue to think it is saving podcasts to the default folder location, but using this trick it will actually be saving them to a location of your choice without the need to fiddle around with environmental variables.
