Hello, i'm running Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
I've installed KiCad via the Ubuntu Software Centre.
Next i create a new part in the current loaded library.
Then i try to update the library file but get an error:

not possible because no access to file

This is because the library is in usr/share/KiCad/Library.
And this is a root owned folder.

When i remove KiCad from the system via the Ubuntu Software Centre, the KiCad 
folder with content remains in usr/share/

Would it be safe to change the ownership from root to my personal login?

How did you install KiCad without losing permission to make changes to the 
library folder?

Thanks...
