Code::Blocks is not saving settings on exit.
« on: January 23, 2015, 04:53:54 pm »
I can not seem to get Code::Blocks to save my settings at all, all settings are reset when I relaunch the program. How do I get the settings to save on exit?
I'm using daily builds on Ubuntu 14.10.
Also I'm using this ppa for the Daily Builds: ppa:damien-moore/codeblocks

No idea what to try on Linux.

This is what I try on Windows.

Open CB and then exit without opening any projects.
If projects are opened close them before exiting.

Then, I open CB again and no projects should be open normally.
I then disable all CB plugins except compiler one at a time.
Remembering the one that crashes CB if it crashes.
Then, if CB does not crash I exit CB to verify the disabling of plugins is saved.

Then, after confirming the only plugin activated is the compiler plugin.
I enable a single plugin and exit and restart CB to see which plugin is causing the failure to save settings.

If I find an unstable plugin I do one of three things.
Report it to the CB site/forum
Uninstall it from my system
Work on debugging the cause myself.
I often do more than a single choice from the list.

If you do not find a solution to this I would recommend you to create a project template and have all your setting in template it self, so that if CB crashes your template will retain your settings.

That's how I create new projects in CB and don't care if CB goes crazy since it can't hurt my template.

One easy way to see if it is crashing is to start it from terminal and inspect the output. If you see something like "blabal segmentation fault" then it has crashed.

Looking at that last line is says it couldn't save the config file, also there seem to be some other errors as well.

Do you have a file named "default.conf" besides the codeblocks-executable (normally in /usr/bin).
In this case you should remove it.
This is at least a possible cause for such a behaviour.
Or for some reasons the "default.conf" in "~/.codeblocks" is owned by a different user or you have at least no write-access to it.

Ok so apparently the default.conf in ~/.codeblocks was owned by the root, changing the ownership to myself solves the problem. Thanks.

Thank you so much, I've been dealing with this stupid error for 2 days!

It's even weirder when you upgrade codeblocks from an older version because you can save some settings.  :o
