[Bug 820265] Re: gnome-default-applications-properties: permission denied on changing default applications

 

the directory and files there are from the admin user, it's not a bug
that can be sorted from an user tool, not a gnome-default-applications-
properties bug, not that gnome-default-applications-properties is
deprecated in GNOME3 and Oneiric as well

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  gnome-default-applications-properties: permission denied on changing
  default applications

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If i try to change the default browser for example, starting gnome-default-applications-properties from console, it gives me this error:
  "(gnome-default-applications-properties:2898): default-applications-properties-WARNING **: Errore nell'impostare il browser predefinito: Creazione del file "/home/fain182/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.G2RVZV" non riuscita: Permesso negato"

  That translated to english sounds like:
  "(gnome-default-applications-properties:2898): default-applications-properties-WARNING **: Error in setting the default browser: Creation of file "/home/fain182/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.G2RVZV" failed: Permission denied"

  The GUI doesn't give no error, but if I close and open again I find
  that options aren't changed.
