Technical background:
- PicoScope 6 Beta v6.13.7.707
- Hardware Version: 1
- Driver Version: PS3000A Linux Driver, 2.1.0.570
- Firmware Version: 1.7.5.0 / 1.0.66.0
- 3x PicoScope 3406D MSO installed on 3 equal PCs, HP Z640 with RHLE 7.4
- All accounts have a central home directory, on all PCs they have same conditions
Code: Select all
$ getent group | grep pico
pico:x:983:userng1,userok,userng3,userng4,userng5,userng6,userng7
$ id userok
uid=55721(userok) gid=1000(software) groups=1000(software),983(pico)
$ id userng3
uid=54352(userng3) gid=1000(software) groups=1000(software),983(pico)
On all PCs user userok is able to store and load setting files that are created with File -> Start-up Settings -> Save Settings As... or with File -> Start-up Settings -> Save User Default Settings.
All other users will get the message: Error while opening file '/home/userng3/.local.kde4/share/Pico Technology/260a68f1-c314-451b-830f-0a5e01d65514/default.PSSETTINGS'.
If I check the directory I get (ls -la):
Code: Select all
drwxrwxr-x 2 userng3 nobody 4096 Aug 8 11:16 .

-rw-rw-r-- 1 userok nobody 12597 Jul 26 07:56 trace.xml
The group nobody is created by picoscope the user default group is software.
After closing the Error pop-up window all users can continue working picoscope without any other problems.
How to solve this problem?
