Description Thilo Pfennig 2004-02-01 08:56:15 UTC

If I try to start zinf as a normal user from command line it says "Cannot create a temporary directory to unzip theme". If I start it as root there is no problem.

It's working for me.  Is a /usr/tmp, /tmp, or /var/tmp directory dead-only?

try doing 'touch /tmp/test && touch /usr/tmp/test && touch /var/tmp/test'  Remove those files too...

Comment 2 Thilo Pfennig 2004-02-06 01:59:02 UTC

I do not have a /usr/tmp by default. Should there be one?

Whoa... yes, you should.  I wonder how it got deleted.

As root, run:
$ mkdir /usr/tmp
$ chmod 1777 /usr/tmp

Now, try running zinf zs a normal user.
