[SOLVED] Amarok 2.7 will not Save configuration

I have a bizarre issue with Amarok 2.7 running on KDE 4.10.1. I have a share on my server which is configured using Samba where all my music is stored. I have this share mounted at /home/user/Music on my laptop.
My uid on the laptop is 1001, and the uid of my user account on the server is 1001. When I configure Amarok to use /home/user/Music as the source folder for the local collection it fails to save the configuration. That is to say that whether I use 'apply' 'OK' or both for that option, when I re-open the configuration dialogue nothing is selected. As a result the local collection is never scanned, and so there is no music available to the application.
The share is mounted using this line in /etc/fstab:
//server.home.dev/sharedfolders/Music/<user> /home/<user>/Music cifs x-systemd.automount,creds=/home/<user>/pncreds,uid=<user>,gid=users 0 0
I have checked the ownership of the mounted Music directory, which appears to be correct. My user  has rwx permission on the directory, and on all of the sub-directories and contents.
I thought I would re-apply the permissions just to be sure. When I attempted to do this from the client I got permission denied whether I tried to do it as my user or root. I tried re-applying the permissions on the underlying share. which was successful, but made no difference.
As far as I can see everything is set up correctly so I cannot make sense of why the application cannot save or use the configuration. I am starting to wonder whether this is a bug in the application. Has anyone else seen this issue or one similar?

I think this problem is releated to switching MariaDB rather than a permissions issue. Try the steps described in the news:

  • OSX 10.7.4. will not save ANY of my preferences (system or application -- Safari, Office, etc.)

    I am running System OSX 10.7.4 on three different MacBooks.  It will not save any of my preferences (system or application based), passwords, log-ins and keychain. Even Safari did not save imported bookmarks.  I am running Office For Mac 2011 (v 14.2.1) and Outlook will work for a day or two and then I get a rebuild database error message, losing everything.  Word, et all, will not save any preferences, not even recent files.
    I did a full erase and clean system reinstall and a fresh install of Office. This problem occurs on all 3 of my MacBook, 2- MacBook Pro’s and a MacAir.  One of the MacBook Pro’s is BRAND NEW. 
    Any ideas, any fixes out there?

    I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
    Macbook air      11-inch, Late 2010
                            4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Software           Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
    No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
    For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
    I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
    On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
    On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
    I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
    helpppp pleaseee...

  • System Settings will not save my desired mouse scroll direction

    I understand the Apple genius of wanting the Settings: Mouse: Scroll direction: Natural box to be checked.  But **** it, this is MY iMac and I want the scroll direction to remain Unchecked, so the screen scrolls in the direction I’ve been used to for YEARS.
    The problem is the System Settings will not save the unchecked scroll box.  I have to return to the System Settings every time I log on to UN check the Scroll Direction: Natural box.
    Will Apple ever fix this so that I, and others, can operate the scrolling as THEIR LONG-TIME USER sees fit?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Scan will not save

    Windows 8.1 - HP MFP1536 will not save the scan. You can see that the document has been scanned but it will not save it. I tried saving the scan to different file types such as .pdf or .jpg. No go. When I run HP Scan doctor jit just sits there and churns away.
    This is a follow-up to a situation about a month ago where the scanning control panel would not even open after a forced windows 8.1 upgrade. At that it was recommended (on this forum) that the HP print software be uninstalled and reinstalled. I did that and it resolved the one issue - getting a scanning control panel. I never checked the functionality of the scanner at the time as this is my wife's machine. Today she neede to scan an item and it will not save.
    What should I do?

    I am sorry that you are still seeing nothing. I would like to find out if scanning is successful on your machine. During a scan the HP Scan software saves scanned images to the user's temp folder prior to finalizing and saving the scanned document. Please try another scan, but before clicking 'Save' or 'Done' in the scan preview dialog, check the current user's temp folder location for scanned images.
    Location of current user's temp folder: C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Local\Temp\hpscanNNNN\
    where <current user> is the name of the current user on the system and NNNN is a random 4-digit number (you will have to choose the hpscannNNNN folder that was most recently created).
    (Hint: you can enter %temp% in Windows Explorer as a shortcut to the above folder path)
    (NOTE: you will need to allowing viewing of hidden files and folders to see the 'AppData' folder)
    In this folder should be the scanned files that are "ready to be saved". If files exist, then the scan was successful and there is something (a bug in the software?) that is preventing you from saving the files. If no files exist, then the scan was not successful (a different type of bug in the software or drivers) - and you shouldn't see any scanned images in the scan preview screen.
    If you see scanned files in the temp folder, then you can use them (cut & paste to your folder location). But, this doesn't solve the larger problem of saving to your chosen local folder location.
    Another thing to try: save a file using a different application to the same folder location you are trying to save scanned documents. For example, try saving a BMP from Paint or a TXT from Notepad. Does this work?
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software probably will not help, but you can try this again if you'd like. (You mentioned in your original post that you already performed a uninstall/reinstall.)
    Regarding the HP Scan and Capture application, most of the 'not-so-good' reviews had to do with connectivity of the scanning application to various HP All-in-One printers. Many of these connectivity issues have been corrected; and, if HP Scan and Capture application can successfully connect to your device, then is a good, albeit simplistic, scanning application that will allow you to save your scan to a file. It might be worth a try. (If you don't like it, then you can always uninstall it.)

  • InDesign Will Not Save or Save As in CS6 or CC

    This has been an ongoing problem. I have Adobe Creative Cloud. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, updated to new versions. ONLY problems with INDesign.
    Will not SAVE or SAVE AS./
    I have been forced to export as In Design Markup (IDML) file as a workaround, which is not helpful at all.
    Save and Save As options are grayed out and unavailable.
    ANY IDEAS anyone? I see that there are others on discussion board for this issue, but no one seems to have successfully cracked this nut.
    In Design version 9.2.2
    Mac OSX 10.9.4, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1600 MHz DDR3. Plenty of machine.
    Thanks

    Dear Bonolgirl55,
    This has been a very frustrating experience - and I know there are many others out there dealing with this same problem. I have had several email and live chat conversations with the INDesign team about this. They have not yet solved the problem (they are reportedly aware and working on a fix for future update), but we did find two workarounds to the problem.
    First workaround is to export as IDML files and open that way. That is a maddening solution, you will find, and still does not allow you to UNDO or use the program to its maximum efficiency. It does help you prevent complete loss of your work however.
    Second workaround -- assuming you are using a Mac -- was to create a completely new Mac User on your computer, logout of your current user, then login to new user and reopen InDesign there. When I did that, InDesign had no problems at all. It worked fine. The issue with that, of course, is that you have to make sure your files and graphics are all copied over to new user Documents file, or or otherwise accessible from a shared drive somewhere. This solution allowed me to use InDesign without any of the Save / Save As / Undo issues -- but obviously undercut workflow productivity between Adobe programs and with other files, email, etc. as I was essentially cut off from my normal desktop work environment and lacked easy toggle between Mac Users.
    I am afraid that I have no other solution to offer, and I don't know when Adobe will figure this out. My problem ONLY applies to InDesign (I am a Creative Cloud subscriber). It's been very unpleasant and annoying.

  • Scanning photo and does scan then states ;Non writable will not save?????

    scanning photo and does scan then states ;Non writable will not save?????

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • Hello, I have a series of language cd's that I am trying to put onto my iTunes but when I download them, they will not save separately instead they are saving as the first disk so i am ending up with 3 disks on 1. Please help

    Hello, I am trying to copy a series of language cd's onto iTunes but each cd will not save separately, instead it is saving all as one disk. So I am ending up with 3 disks on 1 with 3 different track1, 2 etc. Please help as I am sure there is an easy solution to this that I have no clue about. Thanks

    After you insert the CD but before you import it into iTunes, select all tracks and set the disc number to 1, 2, 3 ... as appropriate.

    Well, not sure if having the disk in a firewire case or over a network would have made a difference.
    The solution of making a disk image as in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2664 was what worked for me.
    After, mounting the disk image the Migration Assistant completed without errors. So far everything seems to be working like it did on 10.4.11.

    1. Is it possible you installed from a demo installer and your 30 day trial period is up, when it goes into Read Only mode?
    2. Where and what was your purchased disk?

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save!

    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).
