"Could not save config file..." Error

oBFusCATed:
I cannot verify they are correct only you can do it. Also you need to check the permissions of the files in this folder.

It is a common problem on ubuntu some of these files to be owned by root.
I don't know how this happens, but I'll be very glad if someone could tell me.

Jenna:
On my system the codeblocks-folder (and all included folders have 755-permissions) and the files have 664.
User and group is the same as the user of the home-folder.
The .config-folder itself has 720.

crobar:
I am user rcrozier. in the actual codeblocks folder

so default.conf is owned by root, should this be the case?

Anyway, I changed ownership of default.conf to rcrozer and the problem has gone. My suspicion is that this file is created during installation when using sudo and is therefore owned by root?

oBFusCATed:
I'll be surprised if it is.
Is this the first installation on this machine?
Can you repeat the steps (first delete or rename the codeblocks folder)?

Do you have /root/.config/codeblocks?
