can't access errors

When I run arora as a non-root user, it says that it can't access /home/username/.local. Also with xfce4, it says that it can't access /home/username/.config. What will I gonna do to fix these?

Re: can't access errors

Please post the output of:

ls -la /home/username

You probably need to fix permissions on a couple of folders. No big deal

chmod -R a+rw /home/username/.local /home/username/.config

It works for arora but no luck for xfce4.

drwxrwxrwx 10 root root 4096 2009-05-26 22:26 .config
drwxrwxrwx  3  root root 4096 2009-05-21 11:51 .local

Try as root

chown -R <user> <path_to_file>
