Hello, Same than Serguei for me, the folder .cache/shotwell had bad permissions :
d---rwxrwx 2 amael amael 4,0K juil. 6 2013 shotwell/ The timestamp is over two years ago so it might be a very old bug that left over the folder in this state. Everything works now. ** Changed in: shotwell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287594 Title: Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1287594/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
