Public bug reported: File /usr/share/doc/pastebinit/README says:
"To enable support for private pastebins, first you will need to know the fields that are in use by the pastebin when posting data. Add a file in the ~/pastebin.d or /etc/pastebin.d/ directory" but the right directory to add local user pastebin conf files is: ~/.pastebin.d This extract from /usr/bin/pastebinit confirms it: def preloadPastebins(): # Check several places for config files: # - global config in /etc/pastebin.d # - for source checkout, config in the checkout # - user's overrides in ~/.pastebin.d # Files found later override files found earlier. pastebind = {} for confdir in ['/usr/share/pastebin.d', '/etc/pastebin.d', '/usr/local/etc/pastebin.d', os.path.expanduser('~/.pastebin.d'), os.path.join( os.path.dirname( os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'pastebin.d')]: ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: pastebinit 1.4-3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-34.47-generic 3.16.7-ckt8 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8.4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Mon Apr 20 22:25:10 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-25 (146 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: pastebinit UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: pastebinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446433 Title: README has wrong location for local user new pastebin conf files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/+bug/1446433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
