If I go into evince's save dialog, go to /home/username/Documents
, in my home directory, and try to create a new directory (e.g. foo
), the operation fails. Evince says:
Could not create directory /home/[username]/Documents/foo: Permission denied
Evince refuses to save files, too, with the same sort of message.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and evince 3.4.0. I should also mention that /home
is a symlink to /media/hdd/home
(the filesystem is split across a solid-state drive and HDD; a bit of an experiment). This does not bother any other applications. Evince is running as me, and should have write permissions on /media/hdd/home/username/Documents
, according to ls -l
.
dmesg
shows that evince tried to create the directory, but was denied:
