(In reply to comment #8) > Can you explain more? Is it to preserve the file between reboots? /var/run is the right place to store socket files according to the current Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html#VARRUNRUNTIMEVARIABLEDATA It is also recommended by others: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7580346/where-to-place-unix-domain-af-unix-sockets-end-points-files But after testing the patch, I discovered that /var/run is not writable by non-root. So this won't work for Audacity which is launched by any user. The socket file won't be preserved between reboots. Only data in /var/tmp would be preserved. > Will every Linux distro have /var/run/? "Yann Le Doaré" claimed recently > on -devel that Linux "AlbatrOS" did not have /var/tmp/. Every Linux distro should have /var/run (at least if they want to comply with the FHS). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to audacity in Ubuntu.
