    Keep getting error message with Dolphin

    For some reason, I keep getting an error message every time I close Dolphin. Something about, can't save bookmarks. I've got plenty of disk space. I've attached a jpeg of the message. Thanks.

    It is not a space but a permissions issue. Change the permissions in the bookmarks.xml file.

      If you get error:

      /home/<user>/.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.

        i got this before too, but it was only cuz i ran dolphin with sudo, which i think made it set the permissions for the current user. (su). as Fintan said, i just had to change the permissions of the file back to what they previously were.

          I've got the same error for the same reason. I however can't change the file ownership back to normal from root which it now is. What could I do?

          juha@juha-laptop:~$ sudo chown juha /home/juha/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml
          chown: vaihdetaan tiedoston "/home/juha/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml" omistajuus: Operation not permitted

          I also tried to change file permissions to 777 with the same outcome.

            Why not just open up:
            /home/juha/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/
            as root from dolphin and right click on the bookmarks file choose properties>permissions and change then from there.

              Doesn't work either.

                It's a dolphin bug. You need to uninstall kdesu.

                  Kdesudo is not installed.

                  That bookmark.xml is the only file which ownership or flags I can't change for some reason.
