Description squan 2008-12-02 22:00:11 UTC

Version:           4.1.3 (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Akregator periodically gives me a write error.
The error message is "Zugriff verweigert: Die Liste der Nachrichtenquellen ... kann nicht gespeichert werden" (KDE message box does not support copy/paste of text, sorry).

On the other side an initial import of KDE3 feeds.opml went ok and has been written properly to .kde4/share/apps/akregator/data.

This bug must be at least some month old.

Also configuration changes like changing font sizes don't take effect. Maybe they also cannot be written.

How are the permissions on your feeds.opml?

Comment 2 squan 2009-01-24 00:13:51 UTC

-rw-r--r-- 1 kde4 users 210679 13. Dez 19:49 feeds.opml

Comment 3 Frank Osterfeld 2009-01-24 19:31:03 UTC

kde4 is the user you log in with?
Does this happen during operation, or when closing akregator?
Do you use NFS or the like?

Comment 4 squan 2009-01-24 21:39:13 UTC

Good question.
The 'kde4' was planned as my KDE4 evaluation account (4 month ago).
To have easy access I gave it the same user ID as my login account, but a different home directory (and forgot about it).
Maybe this has some bad side effects but it does not explain the write error.

Comment 5 Mike Bridge 2009-02-03 05:21:28 UTC

I'm assuming that chmod -rw-rw-r-- and/or a completely new user account would fix this issue. If you would be so kind as to give that a try?

Comment 6 squan 2009-02-04 21:37:49 UTC

1) I cannot test on my own account because akregator4 crashes always on startup
2) On a new user account with the original feeds.opml it works, also automaticla save on quit works (also after adding a new single feed).
  But if I import my (large) list of akregator3 feeds and then try to quit the same popup comes up again.
  And then after a few more seconds it crashes.

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:40:10 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 8 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:39:41 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
