Can't run on Ubuntu 18.04 without admin privileges #242

Open Dugy opened 6 years ago

Dugy commented 6 years ago

Bug description I installed Polo on a Ubuntu 18.04 system and it doesn't start. When I check the terminal, this is what it shows this critical error: Failed to open file “/home/dugi/.gphoto/.hidden

Then it jams in uninterruptible sleep.

The owner of that folder was root for some reasons, but when I gave all rights to myself, it stoppped appearing, but no window opens anyway.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Polo on an Ubuntu machine that never ran it before
  2. Run it without root privileges

Expected behavior I expected it to open up

System:
