[solved]Permissions for Deluge

$ deluge
[ERROR   ] 01:15:23 config:419 Error writing new config file: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/rob/.config/deluge/ui.conf.new'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('deluge==1.2.3', 'console_scripts', 'deluge')()

    ui = GtkUI(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 201, in __init__
    self.ipcinterface = IPCInterface(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/ipcinterface.py", line 82, in __init__
    os.makedirs(deluge.configmanager.get_config_dir("ipc"))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/rob/.config/deluge/ipc'

I thnk the solution to this is to do 'useradd -G group rob' but I am not able to figure out what group to add.

$ groups rob
lp wheel video audio optical floppy storage power vboxusers users

I've successfully run deluge as root, to see if that was a problem. It opened fine. However it gave me deprecation warnings

$ sudo deluge

Re: [solved]Permissions for Deluge

you got that permission denied just because you run deluge with sudo. so remove that /home/rob/.config/deluge/ and run as user rob directly

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [solved]Permissions for Deluge

OK, I figured it out. The issue was related to folder permissions on the /home/rob/.config/deluge folder

I ran this command $ sudo chmod -R 777 \deluge from the .config directory and now it is running like a trooper, torrenting Ubuntu Studio for my next experiment on Virtual Box. w00t!

Re: [solved]Permissions for Deluge

Thanks bogamol. Just applied this - $ chmod -R 777 \deluge - to a brand new installation and Deluge now works for me as a user.

It has been almost 2 years... he may not answer.  I'll leave this open for now.
