BenediktXVIIHello everybody, I need help with permissions for Thunderbird in Kubuntu. I just installed Kubuntu and installed Thunderbird. Now I am trying to save attachements, but it seems that Thunderbird doesn't have writing permissions. How do I set them ?23:00
bpromptBenediktXVII:    how did you install thunderbird?  off a .bzip2 file?23:23
BenediktXVIInope, through Discovery23:24
BenediktXVIII checked the command in the menu, it seems to be a flatpack23:24
BenediktXVIIbprompt: Thanks for helping me :)23:24
bprompta flatpack?23:25
BenediktXVIIThis is the command executed when I launch Thunderbird " /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=thunderbird --file-forwarding org.mozilla.Thunderbird @@u %u @@ "23:26
bprompthmmm so it should have been rooted to install I assume, maybe is trying to save the attachments to a directory not owned by that account23:28
bpromptBenediktXVII:    I don't run Thunderbird myself, but it should have permissions, unless what I can think of is, that is trying to save to a folder not-owned by the user account is running under23:29
BenediktXVIIbprompt:  I checked those permissions too. I am not fond of TB either. I prefer Kontact. But I have an issue where Kontact would not send outgoing mail. That's kind of annoying with an e-mail client ;)23:32
bprompthmmm23:34
BenediktXVIImight be a permission problem, I am just checking23:34
BenediktXVIII tried to do download a torrent and got this error: "Unable to create /home/benedikt/.local/share/ktorrent/tor3/torrent: Permission denied"23:36
bpromptBenediktXVII:   only thing I can think of offhand is, run Discovery as root, with kdesudo, so the package has root authorizations, you could always check  User Groups and add some more groups to Thunderbird23:36
bpromptBenediktXVII:   hmmm have to dash, but is what'd do, you can always try using the package installation from mozilla.org instead of using the Discovery version, the download itself is a .bzip2 file, so is pretty much just a stand-alone app, you "sudo" extract the file to whatever folder you want, and run the executable, I do that with say Firefox, unzip it at /usr/apps/firefox, with a "sudo"23:44
BenediktXVIIbprompt: Thanks a lot for the help :)23:44
bpromptBenediktXVII:     sudo tar -xvjf thunderbird-install-file.bz2 -C folder_you_want_it_extracted_to23:45
