Full Discussion: K3b permission problem
Operating Systems Linux Slackware K3b permission problem Post 302604223 by slak0 on Saturday 3rd of March 2012 08:42:10 PM

I neglected to point out that I am running as root via su in xfce on Slackware 13.37. I also tried to backup /etc and got the same insufficient privs message on over 50 files. I checked some of the files it barfs on most were rw------- and owned by root as user most were root group with some as daemon, examples in /etc/: .pwd.lock, at.deny, and sudoers
Had similar problems with /boot and in /root it flagged all files/directories. Any help??

I solved it. Got out of "su" and ran xfce under root login directly and K3B captured all the files.
I do not know whether this is a bug in K3b 2.0.2, Xfce 4.6.2, or Slackware 13.37 but any permissions bug I consider as serious.

NAME

       xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-power-manager-settings  is  a  utility  that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration.  It is a separate
       program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices.	xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
       ager  to  be  running  because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
       example,  the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no  device  was	detected  by  the  running
       instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
	xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.

BUGS

       Please  report  bugs  to  http://bugzilla.xfce.org/.   Development discussion should be conducted on the goodies-dev@xfce.org mailing list.
