Can you run lite-tweaks from the command line please, and post the output.

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - torreydale - 08-14-2015

I got this:

Quote:torrey@tdw:~$ lite-tweaks
find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments.

find: `/var/log/samba/cores': Permission denied

When I did sudo lite-tweaks, I got the following, and I was able to clear the firefox cache that time:

Quote:torrey@tdw:~$ sudo lite-tweaks
[sudo] password for torrey:

Lets check some ownership. Please paste the output of both:

Code:
ls -la

and

Code:
find ~/.mozilla/ -not -user youruserhere -printf "%p %u\n"

where youruserhere is your user.

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - Valtam - 08-14-2015

Theres your issue. For what ever reason, root owns the:

/home/torrey/.mozilla/firefox/9nm53k9w.default/bookmarkbackups/bookmarks-2015-06-18_20_0kj6sIC5pDDn71vw4xMIfQ==.jsonlz4

file. Why does root own a file in your home folder?? Kinda concerning tbh. Confused

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - torreydale - 08-17-2015

Should I delete that file?

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - Valtam - 08-18-2015

Let's change the ownership of it, and see what that produces in the future:

Code:
sudo chown torrey:torrey /home/torrey/.mozilla/firefox/9nm53k9w.default/bookmarkbackups/bookmarks-2015-06-18_20_0kj6sIC5pDDn71vw4xMIfQ==.jsonlz4

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - torreydale - 08-18-2015

Ok. It's with my desktop computer. Travelling. Will make a note to do that when I get back in front of that computer.

Re: Lite Tweaks error on removing Firefox Cache - torreydale - 08-27-2015

I ran your suggested chown command. Then I reran the find command. Nothing showed up this time. I did look at the same file via Thunar and the permissions were changed from root to my user account.

I'll let it rest as is. Thanks.
