[solved] deluged: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.config'

Not sure what's going on here ... I started getting this error recently, I suppose after an update.  I can't remember.  I moved ~/.config/deluge to ~/.config/deluge.old to see if resetting all the settings would cure it but it didn't; this error happens with a clean install.

[max@yomomma ~]$ deluge -u web

Should I file a bug?

Now deluged is doing it ...

Re: [solved] deluged: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.config'

Turns out that this is only an issue if you su'ed into a normal user from root.  Very strange.

su-ing into a normal user from root ...

Starting deluged from a normal user directly ...

[max@pwntoo ~]$ ssh yomomma
max@yomomma's password: 
Last login: Tue Sep 29 17:53:02 2009 from 192.168.1.113
[max@yomomma ~]$ deluged
[max@yomomma ~]$

Are there some variables in my shell that I'm not aware of that would make deluged do this?

Regular su doesn't assume the environment, just permissions as far as I know.

do "su -" and it should get you working. su - starts a login shell.

Re: [solved] deluged: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.config'

Sorry to bump and old thread, but I'm having this problem too, except with Gwibber. Gwibber wouldn't update, so I closed it and ran "gwibber-service" from a terminal, and I got a similar error where I didn't have permissions. I tried "su -" like you said, and I don't get the error anymore but gwibber-service doesn't want to update! Here's the error I used to get:

$ gwibber-service

Now it just stays on "Updating..." forever. Could someone give me an idea of what I could do that might have caused this problem, and how I could fix my new one?
