Hello all:
I noticed that on a new installation of Ubuntu, after installing
qgis, the ".qgis" directory is owned by root. This causes adding of
plugins to fail. (Probably other problems as well down the road)
Install of qgis was from the ppa ubuntugis-unstable repo.
We see the same behavior in the new OSGeo Live DVD.
Is this something in the packaging?
Thanks,
Micha

The directory ~user/.qgis is owned by root. As a result 'user' cannot
install QGIS plugins.
I'm looking into this and starting to wonder if it's an error in the
packaging/upstream since I heard a similar bug from a friend doing their
own personal install and can't see anything in the qgis installer that
even touches this folder.
Thanks,
Alex
