I was asked to test this Recent Lubuntu 20.04.2 QA-test install, thus clean system. `sudo apt install micro`
I started micro, played with editor entering & changing text. On exit (without save) I did have a `micro.txt` in my $HOME, it contained "2020/11/30 20:47:25 Micro started" as contents. I `cd /etc` as per original poster and obtained the identical error message the OP reported, as I don't have write access to that directory. I can confirm issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870939 Title: Micro tries to create log.txt on working directory every time it is opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/micro/+bug/1870939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
