GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 638416
Journal files for database-backed not directed to a writable directory
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:50:28 UTC
To replicate: * Create a MySQL-backed GNUCash file * cd to a directory that the user does not have permission to write * start gnucash from the commandline with the MySQL-backed file * Note that the journal files can't be written Error: xaccOpenLog(): cannot open journal 13 Permission denied (multiple times) * exit GNUCash * cd to a directory that the user can write into * start gnucash from the commandline with the MySQL-backed file * Note that there are no error messages * The journal files appear to be written to $PWD/translog.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.log Repeatability: always Expected -- the journal files would be written to a directory related to the user, or to one that the user specified, not to $PWD Environment: Ubuntu 10.10 i686 with apt-get upgrade as of morning of 2101-12-31 $ uname -a Linux fx 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 01:41:57 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux GNUCash built from svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/2.4.0 svn-2.4.0 ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-ofx --with-html-engine=webkit --enable-dbi
