Thank you for taking the time to file this report. However, I am closing this since Zeitgeist by design requires write access to the user's home directory. Feel free to reassign this bug to another component if you figure out what is causing this permissions problem.
@ Charlie: I don't see how this could be blocking any installations. At most all that can be happening is that a "Zeitgeist has crashed" message window shows up asking to fill this report. ** Changed in: zeitgeist (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717362 Title: zeitgeist-daemon crashed with OSError in makedirs(): [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/portia/.local/share/zeitgeist' -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
