Anydesk

[Rich]

Hi Rabie
Oh, I thought  /home/tc/.anydesk  was a config file, not a directory.

Is there a  .gtkrc-2.0.mine  file whose contents you could post?

i already search for it there is unfortunately no such a file

Hi Rabie
Personally, I suspect there's a bug in the program.

What happens if you start it like this:

Code: [Select]

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./anydesk

Same error, but here what i found out until yet and thats why i don't think that its a bug:

i took the same installation file "anydesk-6.0.1-amd64.tar.gz" and installed it on an Ubuntu Machine and it works perfectly.

Then i looked into the File "anydesk.trace" on the Ubuntu machine:

so its definitly not a bug from the Program.
but i can't figure this out, how do i make it the choose the right path

Have you tried creating /home/user/.anydesk on tinycore?

Alternatively, you could set the permissions for /root/.anydesk to root:staff

[Rich]

Hi Hi Rabie
It appears Anydesk is not using the  USER  environmental variable to determine  user_data_dir  and as a result
is defaulting to root for some reason.

See if running these export commands helps any:

Code: [Select]

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/$USER/.config
export XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
From the Ubuntu anydesk.trace:

app.common_path - user_data_dir = /home/user/.anydesk, logged_in_user_data_dir = /home/user/.anydesk, current_home = /home/user

Am I correct that the user name you used here is  user ?

On the Ubuntu machine, run this command and attach the  env.txt  file to your next post:

Code: [Select]

env > env.txt

[Juanito]

You could also load the xdg-user-dirs extension and run xdg-user-dirs-update.

[Rabie]

Have you tried creating /home/user/.anydesk on tinycore?

no, but now i did, it didn't help. also i think that doesn't make sense, because anydesk should look at the actual user directory

Alternatively, you could set the permissions for /root/.anydesk to root:staff

this directory doesn't exist

It appears Anydesk is not using the  USER  environmental variable to determine  user_data_dir  and as a result

i think this is the Problem..

See if running these export commands helps any:

Code: [Select]

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/$USER/.config
export XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user

keep getting the same error

Am I correct that the user name you used here is  user ?

Yes that is right

On the Ubuntu machine, run this command and attach the  env.txt  file to your next post:

See Attachment
i also tried to set those like in the Ubuntu Machine:

Code: [Select]

export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=tty
export XDG_SESSION_ID=4

You could also load the xdg-user-dirs extension and run xdg-user-dirs-update.

i just did that, the path won't change 

[GNUser]

Assuming your username on TCL is tc, why not just copy the config directory from your Ubuntu machine (/home/user/.anydesk), which we know is working, to TCL (/home/tc/.anydesk)?

Then do this on your TCL machine:

Code: [Select]

sudo ln -sf /home/tc/.anydesk /root/.anydesk

[Rich]

Hi Rabie

...

Alternatively, you could set the permissions for /root/.anydesk to root:staff

this directory doesn't exist ...

Code: [Select]

sudo mkdir /root/.anydesk
sudo chown root:staff /root/.anydesk
