--- Comment #8 from Michael Meeks michael.me...@novell.com ---
To find the earliest use of ~/.config I guess we should put a breakpoint in
__cxa_throw and run without the directory existing :-)
I -imagine- this is from desktop/source/app or desktop/source/deployment - but
of course it could easily be in configmgr.cxx.
It'd be good to have a stack-trace for that.
It seems like: sal/osl/unx/security.c is prolly a good place to look at first:
#define DOT_CONFIG /.config
static sal_Bool SAL_CALL osl_psz_getConfigDir(oslSecurity Security, sal_Char*
pszDirectory, sal_uInt32 nMax)
{
sal_Char *pStr = getenv(XDG_CONFIG_HOME);
if (pStr == NULL || strlen(pStr) == 0 || access(pStr, 0) != 0)
Patches most welcome (turned it into an easy-hack) - thanks !

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56284 --- Comment #5 from Marc Weber marco-owe...@gmx.de --- Which options are there? a) create /etc/skel/.config - so that .config is create whenever a new user is created (doesn't seem to be common) b) make libreoffice create that directory (700 because .config might contain sensible data - and it is what ubuntu seems to do (?)) This would solve this problem once and forever for this project only c) Is it the task of libreoffice to create the directory? Or should the bug report forwarded to whatever library libreoffice is using to access .config? I don't know. Software should just work - and b) will accomplish this for LibreOffice forever. I'd not change the permission if the directory already exists. chrome, htop both create it and set 700. inkscape creates it and sets 711 I could test more applications - but that will not change the fact that just creating it and setting it to 700 makes everything work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
