Can't check the config file

Post by ChiquinhoBR »

Hello

I'm beginer and have some problems.

When i click in check on emuclient config show error message, "Can't check the config file".

I read the faq and made "sudo chown -R owner:usergroup ~/.emuclient" and nothing.

I reinstall software and nothing.

The unique form of resolve this is for me reinstal ubuntu.

Note: i'm log how root on system and install of software also.

Any tip ?

Don't log as root.

What's the result of the following commands:

Code: Select all

ls -ld ~
ls -l ~/.emuclient

Hello Matlo

Tank you for quick response.

The results of commands :

ls -ld ~
drwxr-xr-x 25 chico chico 4096 2012-02-26 21:20 /home/chico

ls -l ~/.emuclient
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 chico chico 4096 2012-02-26 15:39 config
drwxr-xr-x 2 chico chico 4096 2012-02-26 16:12 macros

this test went made in root user.


the software running in outher user has the same result.

You should not use the root user at all. Run everything as 'chico'.

I don't understand. What's this 'guest' user? Don't you have a 'chico' user that you use to log in?

Is Ubuntu installed on your hard drive?
