Public bug reported: In daily builds of Lubuntu 15.04's live desktop images (both i386 and amd64), root is the owner of the live user's ~/.config directory.
To reproduce: Boot a live daily build of Lubuntu 15.04. To verify: Run command "ls -laR ~" (I have attached the relevant part of the output of that command as a screenshot) This appears to be the underlying cause of at least 3 related bugs (and probably more): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-software- center/+bug/1414366 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpad/+bug/1414341 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default- settings/+bug/1419334 I have been trying to pin down WHY root owns the /home/lubuntu/.config folder, but so far I can't figure out what is doing it. I have no idea what package is causing it. Here's what I know so far: * Root is the owner of /home/lubuntu/.config and the only user with write permissions. * The only item in this folder is a 0 byte file, /home/lubuntu/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run * ubuntu-system-settings is the help wizard for Ubuntu Touch. The ubuntu-system-settings package is NOT on the live USB, nor would there be any reason for it to be a part of Lubuntu at all. My hypothesis is that something is causing root to touch /home/lubuntu/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run somehow that creates an empty file there before the rest of the directory structure is built. I have no idea how to try to track down what might do that. I haven't found anything blindly looking through log files.
