Hi, what is the difference when I start an app from console when I'm logged in as the user, or when I start it from the console as another user after "su -l username"?
Sorry for my poor english, let me explain: I have 2 users: "daniel" and "digi". Usually I work as "daniel", but I have a svn-test-version of digikam installed as user "digi" to keep it apart from my production environment. When I'm logged in as "daniel" I open a console and type "su -l digi" and after the pwd I start digikam. But in digikam I cannot save a changed photo (overwrite a file). There is no problem writing a *new* file, but overwriting an existing one is not possible. When I start a new kde session and log in as "digi" and then start digikam (using the same starter script), there are no problems overwriting a file. I thought it makes no difference, whether I log in as the user or start the command with su -l , but obviously there is a difference. Please, can somebody explain me, how I can start an app in the console as another user so that it is just the same as if I started it if I had logged in as that user - or, if so, why this is not possible? thanks Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
