Hi,

After updating my system to ubuntu 11.04, all sorts of access
permissions seem to have changed. In particular, when compiling any
ConTeXt document, I get

Trying to mtxrun --script fonts --reload, it tells me

MTXrun | resolvers: unable to save 'files' in
'/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/trees/1240e363db2f4c53de58379d2b0c6f6b.lua'
(access error)
MTXrun | fontnames: unable to access database cache
MTXrun | fontnames: accessing the data table failed

and similar errors. I've tried sudo mtxrun [...], but then the command
is not found.

I hope the problem will be resolved by changing folder permissions, but
I'm not sure which folders are affected and which I should refrain from
changing.

You can change permissions of

  /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context

and everything below it, but a nicer solution is to set TEXMFCACHE.

There are various options, but the easiest is

  set TEXMFCACHE=~/texmf-cache

in your shell's startup script (you have to create the path manually at first).

Best wishes,
Taco
