[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1315835] Re: gedit overwrite dconf config with root permission
I am having the same problem on a different system. I am using Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, MATE Edition (a derivative of Ubuntu 14.04). In MATE (a Gnome 2 fork), gedit has been renamed to pluma. Specifically, just starting up sudo pluma makes the ownership of ~/.config/dconf/user immediately change from myusername.myusername to root.root. This is a horrible bug! When I reboot much later, my user preferences all appear to be toast. No panel, no background, no keyboard remapping ... And it's hardly obvious why or how to fix it. It's very hard to track down that it boils down to permissions on a mysterious, hidden file that I never even touched! Is this the right place to report the bug? I found this ticket by searching the web for .config/dconf/user permissions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315835 Title: gedit overwrite dconf config with root permission Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, gedit overrides the /home/user/.config/dconf/user file and convert it to root user.

I tested this at a clean xubuntu vm, there is the same bug. But at my lubuntu, the owner of the user file does not change. Yes, it seems to be xubuntu only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315835 Title: gedit overwrite dconf config with root permission Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, gedit overrides the /home/user/.config/dconf/user file and convert it to root user.

Does not get that issue with 'ubuntu' , so seems a 'xubuntu' one only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315835 Title: gedit overwrite dconf config with root permission Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, gedit overrides the /home/user/.config/dconf/user file and convert it to root user.
