[SOLVED] Netbeans won't start unless I am root

Hi

problem as topic. I have this issue since I upgraded to 7.3 (I didn't do this earlier, for I have to reconfigure the android plugin each time a new version comes)

The symptoms are exactly as discribed in this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161362

Netbeans shows the splashscreen, the red bar progresses fine just until
"Turning on modules"
then the splash disappears and I get back the prompt, no error message here.

maex@cobalt:~ $ netbeans
maex@cobalt:~ $

I know netbeans has a logfile ([...]/var/log/messages.log) and indeed this tells me there is a permissions problem - which perfectly explains why I can run NB as root. But I do not understand what exactly causes the problem.

Heres the log:

I wish I knew which file he can't create.
I double checked the permissions for the .netbeans directory are ok.
(I ran as root)

root@cobalt:~ # chown -R maex.users /home/maex/.netbeans/

(and as maex)

maex@cobalt:~ $ chmod -R +rw .netbeans/

Thanks in advance

(And BTW my _JAVA_OPTIONS are not the cause ,they are blank)

Re: [SOLVED] Netbeans won't start unless I am root

Try using strace to load netbeans and find out what system calls are being made

Re: [SOLVED] Netbeans won't start unless I am root

It seems like a plugin is writing in the wrong place, but we can't tell exactly where.

Are you against installing it with the official installer? It will be stored in your user home, so you'll not have problems with that. And you'll be responsible for updating it, which is a good thing when you depend on some problematic plugins.

Satisfied users don't rant, so you'll never know how many of us there are.

Re: [SOLVED] Netbeans won't start unless I am root

I tried the official installer, too. Same problem.

But now I got it solved - the .cache directory in my homedir had a netbeans subdirectory - belonging to: *sigh* root.

Re: [SOLVED] Netbeans won't start unless I am root

Running stuff as root when it is not needed tends to break things in that way. This is one of the reasons for why you should not take root in vain.
