Title: inkscape and geany installation woes....connected ??
Post by: trinity on January 13, 2010, 11:25:48 AM

I'm using tc 2.7 installed to HDD with a tce and home folder and a mydata.gz file

After installing Geany and Inkscape I have what may be connected problems.
Inkscape says: cannot create profile directory  /home/tc/.config/inkscape
and Geany says: configuration directory could not be created..permission denied

I have definitely got a /home/tc  folder.

Any ideas what may be wrong.
Thank you

Sounds like something has set bad permissions on /home/tc/.config.  If that is not writable, you will see those kind of errors.

Hello Jason.
I did check that and /.config file had 755 permissions.

So I changed that with

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod 777 /home/tc/.configI reinstalled Geany which went okay but Inkscape said "encountered an internal error and will close now."

So did a reboot and checked permissions again and it was back to 755.
Changed this back to 777, reinstalled inkscape but same error message
