Not sure how it can be set to fix released if it's still an issue in LTS versions of Ubuntu?

Thank you!

[Bug 1870939] Re: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened
I was asked to test this Recent Lubuntu 20.04.2 QA-test install, thus clean system. `sudo apt install micro` I started micro, played with editor entering & changing text. On exit (without save) I did have a `micro.txt` in my $HOME, it contained "2020/11/30 20:47:25 Micro started" as contents. I `cd /etc` as per original poster and obtained the identical error message the OP reported, as I don't have write access to that directory. I can confirm issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870939 Title: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/micro/+bug/1870939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Had the same problem under Linux mint 20 cinnamon (uses Ubuntu repositories) my fix was to remove the repository version and install the .deb from GitHub. https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870939 Title: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/micro/+bug/1870939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1870939] Re: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened
It's really irritating having to clean up after using micro, and not being able to launch it from a directory that I don't have write access to. I've tried to set debug to false in the config file, but that doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870939 Title: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/micro/+bug/1870939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
