Stay tuned, in the meantime avoid to use the tar.gz package to install in /opt, it would cause you greater troubles later when you'll update the package from Pacman.
]]>I have installed Dbeaver in /opt from a tar downloaded from the official site.
dbeaver is in the official repos. Install it from there.
i can't change the params in Dbeaver's preferences because the file dbeaver.ini in /opt/dbeaver is only writable by root.
So edit the file as root? sudo is your friend.
Can I make a chown myuser:myuser dbeaver.ini ?
Is it dangerous for security ?
One could argue about security but it's a bad idea anyway.
Should i better make that command on the folder /opt/dbeaver ?
Should i instead make a chmod 777 on the file ? or on the folder ?
No! Especially the chmod 777. NEVER EVER do chmod 777.
In a general manner, what is recommanded when i manually install some programs in /opt and i need the conf files be writable by non root users ?
Why would you need the conf files to be writable by non root users?
