Failed to dump config to file #142

Closed sibojia closed 9 years ago

sibojia commented 9 years ago

When running onedrive-pref:

Please enter the abs path to sync with your OneDrive (default: /home/user/OneDrive): 
[2015-03-14 11:51:20,025] WARNING: MainThread: failed to dump config to file "/home/user/.onedrive/config_v2.json".
Path successfully set.

And therefore onedrive-d can't start as it can't find config file. However onedrive-pref can create "~/.onedrive/ignore_v2.ini", so the permission should be OK.

Thanks!

The file ~/.onedrive/ignore_v2.ini is copied by the install.sh script at installation time, not by program. Make sure your $USER have RWX permission on path ~/.onedrive. It felt like it was created by root, not $USER.

Solved. I should have followed your installation guide. Thanks!
