(In reply to comment #8) > Can you explain more? Is it to preserve the file between reboots?
/var/run is the right place to store socket files according to the current Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html#VARRUNRUNTIMEVARIABLEDATA It is also recommended by others: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7580346/where-to-place-unix-domain-af-unix-sockets-end-points-files But after testing the patch, I discovered that /var/run is not writable by non-root. So this won't work for Audacity which is launched by any user. The socket file won't be preserved between reboots. Only data in /var/tmp would be preserved. > Will every Linux distro have /var/run/?

Every Linux distro should have /var/run (at least if they want to comply with the FHS). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615307 Title: opening a file from file manager when audacity is open gives error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audacity/+bug/615307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
