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.

ORAGE(1)																  ORAGE(1)

NAME
orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
orage [options] [[FILE]...] DESCRIPTION
orage is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities. orage does not have group calendar features, but can only be used for single user. orage takes a list of FILEs for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into orage, but those files are left untouched. For a more detailed explanation of orage, please see the Help menu. OPTIONS
-v, --version Print version information and exit. -?, --help Print brief help and exit. -p, ----preferences Open the preferences setting window. -t, --toggle Hide orage if it is visible and show it if it is hidden. -a, ----add-foreign file [RW] Add a foreign file into orage. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable. -r, ----remove-foreign file Remove foreign file from orage. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately using proper operating system command. FILES
All orage datafiles are by default in ~/.local/share/orage and all configuration files are in ~/.config/orage. (Note that you can change these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.) BUGS
Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email list. HOMEPAGE
