Unable to save bookmarks - Dolphin

[vld_apo]

I have Kubuntu 7.10 and from recently, when I open, for instance, the home directory, and then click on the X sign on the top right of the window(in order to close it), I get the following message:

Unable to save bookmarks in /home/vlado/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive.

This wasn't like that always. It just started happening from recently.

Execute this

df -h

Running the command

sudo chmod 755 /home/vlado/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml

should fix the problem. This is a common bug in many *buntu installations. I prefer Krusader personally (available in the repos), but Dolphin (D3lphin) is an excellent, simple, user-friendly file manager great for beginners.

Execute this

sudo apt-get clean all

In case it doesn't sort out problem, try changing file permission as suggested by integr8e.

hello,
i did the above. Remember to replace "vlado" by your username. However chmod 755 didn't work for me. Entering 777 giving read, write and execute rights on bookmarks.xml to all users seems to work. Do you think this is unsafe ? What does bookmarks.xml do ?
I'm a newbee - of course - so no swearing or cursing please. thank you!

4 + 2 + 1

Read + Write + Execute

First 7 = Yourself
Second 7 = Groups in your users
Third 7 = Others

By 777, you allow read/write/execute access to all users.

By 755, you allow read/write/execute to yourself and read/execute to users in your group as well as to others.

Since you're logged on as your own user account and the file is probably attempted to be written to by root[which in this case is considered others], you can effectively solve the problem by keeping this file at 770 mode and adding root to your own usergroup.

Which would be much more safer of course =)

Hey you guys! I have found a solution on the web. This is the link.

Perhaps the permissions have changed somewhere along the line... try opening a terminal and typing

cd /home
sudo chown -R username:username username (where username is you username, ofcourse

So kudos to thedarkwinter!

Hi guys, i have this problem also. if all else fails, and nothing on this page solves the problem. I just go into synaptic, delete dolphin, then go into the directory where dolphin is stored and delete the folder (dolph3n)
its in /home/'user'/.kde/share/apps/
after the folder is deleted, just go back into synaptic and redownload and install dolphin and all is fixed.
ofcoarse this is only a tempory solution, but if you can't fix the problem completely, this works.....(for a few weeks or so

annoying little error, that alarm sound is bothersome in incessant repetition.

obviously unless you STOLE my screename, change neurotiq to whatever you use
I'm guessing the amount of times I executed the command was ineffectual at best.

(damaging at worse)


neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 755 /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 755 /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 755 /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 777 /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chown neurotiq /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chown neurotiq /home/neurotiq/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml

neurotiq@neurotiq-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 777 /home/screename/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml

sudo chown screename /home/screename/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
