[Bug 112151] Re: /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it
This just happened to me as well today when I upgraded some packages. I am running Kubuntu as well. I've just been upgrading whatever packages are suggested, so I'm not exactly sure what version of KDE I'm up to. /tmp is not a mounted directory for me, but a regular dir (not in mount command, not in fstab). ** Description changed: - Something keeps regularly changing the file permissions on /tmp so that - it is not writeable by any user other than root: + This just happened to me as well today when I upgraded some packages.

[Bug 112151] Re: /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it
This has happened 6 moths ago for someone here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/187918/comments/28 and today it happened to me after upgrading Intrepid from KDE 4.2.0 to KDE 4.2.1, also the kernel was updated to Linux rubert 2.6.27-13-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 26 07:31:49 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux I tried everything when I finally found out .xsession-errors telling me open:permission denied and searching with this I found the comment I linked that helped me to solve this. So to cut it short: something somewhere breaks it.. -- /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here, happened after i updated 52 packages, including kernel and most of kde. My tmp dir is the default that got installed with Feisty. -- /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 112151] Re: /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it
Thanks for your comments. This does not appear to be a bug report as your tmp file system was not configured this way during installation and we are closing it. Incidentally, it appears that something would need to specifically setup permissions for that directory after it is mounted. Perhaps adding "rw" and or "mode=1777" to your fstab for that file system would fix it. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question in the support tracker - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ . ** Changed in: Ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Brian Murray Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
