I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and did my first backup today, using the backup program that comes with the distro.

After the backup was finished, there was a message that the following two files could not be backed up, and that I should make sure I could open them:

/home/myname/.cache/dconf

/home/myname/.config/enchant

I found them in the file manager, but when clicking on them, I'm told I don't have the necessary permissions.

Is the backup non-functional because of missing these two files? What should I be doing?

Thanks!

Kate

  • You can run a simple `sudo chown $USER: $HOME` to fix it. – Byte Commander Sep 30 '15 at 20:15
  • That's basically because those files got created with `sudo` by their respective applications (`dconf` and `Enchant`), and they get regenerated every time the applications run. Don't worry about them, your backup is fully functional. – Wolfer Sep 30 '15 at 20:17
