config options not saved

[Pigeon]

Whenever I hit the save preferences option in the file menu, I get a string of "QFile::writeBlock: File not open" error messages in the console, and showeq.xml isn't updated.

It's not a permissions problem- showeq is ran as root.

Any idea what I'm missing?

yeah, still does this as of the 5/24 cvs. I'd even be grateful for a "Go RTFM" at this point, if you were specific as to what FM I was supposed to read.

I'm running slackware-current if that helps at all.

Did you remember to do a 'make install'? Does /usr/local/share/showeq/ exists? Is their disk space on whatever partition /usr/local/share/showeq is on (do 'df -k /usr/local/share/showeq')?

Enjoy,

Hmm- fixxed it. I had been running showeq with the suid bit set, so I don't have to su in every time. When I run seq in a su shell, I can save the file, but when I run it with suid I can't... would someone with more linux experience than I like to tell me what the difference is?

(ironically, of course, my first instinct was correct- "is it a permissions problem?" giving world write permissons to showeq.xml makes it work with the suid bit...)
