Bug Description

Binary package hint: alacarte

I just clicked a checkbox for a deactivated item, and it reported a crash (even though it didn't disappear). Since it didn't disappear, the more I clicked, the more crash reports I got. Decided to submit one.

Checkmarks were not filled in after the crash.

You've got broken permissions in your home dir. Try 'sudo chown neil:neil ~/.local' to fix it.

Changed in alacarte:
status:	Unconfirmed → Rejected

I got he same bug,
I tried to 'sudo chown neil:neil ~/.local' by replacing "neil" with my username but it didn't worked.

I also have a problem when I try to change which program open a specific file.
It is impossible for me to change any option in alacarte or 'open with' in nautilus.

Thx for your help!

Try doing "sudo chown -R user:user ~/.local"...thats what I did, and I've not had any further troubles so far.

It resolved my problem!

The above command also fixed my problem, however this appears to be a bug in Fiesty? A default install ends up landing the user with incorrect permissions, any chance in this being fixed?

Thanks

I do confirm it:
It did appear when I upgraded from edgy to Feisty

Tanks for your great job, guys!
