Hi,
I get suddenly on Kubuntu 18.10 the error message "Configuration file "/home/anton/.config/konsolerc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator." (anton = username) This is just an example for the terminal, similar for opening Dolphin and others.
I checked already ls -l, it looks writable to me:
anton@anton-ThinkPad-T540p:~$ ls -l /home/anton/.config/konsolerc
-rw------- 1 anton anton 350 Dec 19 19:50 /home/anton/.config/konsolerc
Also if I look at the permission in Dolphin for everything in the .config folder, all seem both read and writable for user anton. Any idea?
I think I had earlier this week the same problem on 18.04, reboot led me into emergency mode (solved here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2408538 ). I updated to 18.10, it worked for a 1-2 days, now I get the same error. If I would reboot, I might get again the previous problem, haven't tried yet.
In between working and not working I got some updates, not sure if they caused it...
Any idea what's happening?
