Bug ID: 103085
Summary: Should check if LibreOffice has enough file
permissions on temporary and backup directories on
startup
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: d...@davidabian.com
Description:
LibreOffice seems not to be checking out that it has the corresponding r/w
permissions over the directories for temporary files and for backups. This
should be checked out on startup, before working on any file.
In my case, LibreOffice didn't had those permissions (write permissions over
/tmp/) and, when LibreOffice Writer crashed, a backup couldn't be saved. I lost
all my work. This shouldn't happen more times, it's really bad for health. ;-)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice having configured a path without write permissions as the
directory for temporary files.
Actual Results:
This situation is not noticed and you start working on your files.
Expected Results:
A message appears telling you that LibreOffice has no permissions to work with
the defined directory for temporary files, and suggesting that you change the
path as soon as possible.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
