Bug ID: 414020 Summary: Allow overriding a program's command by automatically creating a user-owned copy of the desktop file Product: systemsettings Version: 5.17.2 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_autostart Assignee: mon...@kde.org Reporter: rula...@wp.pl Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Please allow overriding an autostart program's command by creating a user-owned copy of the desktop file if the original desktop file is not writable by the user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add slack as a program to autostart 2. Modify the command to add the -u switch to start slack minimized in systray 3. Try saving the program dialog OBSERVED RESULT Alert box saying "Cannot save properties. Insufficient permissions to save /home/<user>/.config/autostart/slack.desktop." (backtranslated from Polish). EXPECTED RESULT It should just work. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux 5.3.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Kernel Version: 5.3.8-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor Memory: 15,6 GiB ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The error message refers to the location of the symlink. You cannot "save" a symlink, and attempt to save its target obviously hits insufficient permissions as the file is actually /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop and is owned by root. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
