Description of problem: An error pop-up window with below message is seen on the first time user logins to his KDE session. "Unable to save bookmarks in /home/<new_user>/.local/share/user-places.xbel. Reported errror was: Insufficient permissions in target directory.. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible which is most likely a full hard drive." Subsequent logins doesn't seem to exhibit this error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 kdelibs-4.14.8-5.el7_2.x86_64 kde-settings-19-23.5.el7.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the system default for the Graphical environment to KDE # cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" 2. Create a new user from a terminal. # useradd newuser # passwd newuser 3. Try login as this user from GDM login screen. The same happens with fresh VNC session for this user(as expected). 1. Set the system default for the Graphical environment to KDE # cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" 2. Create a new user from a terminal. eg: by ssh from another host. # useradd newuser # passwd newuser Do not log into graphical console. 3. Start a VNC server for this user. $ vncserver :1 4. Connect with a vncviewer to this vncserver. It should be the first time user login to GUI. Actual results: Two error window [Error - Plasma Desktop Shell] and [Error - Run Command Interface] pops up showing. "Unable to save bookmarks in /home/<new_user>/.local/share/user-places.xbel. Reported errror was: Insufficient permissions in target directory.. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible which is most likely a full hard drive." Expected results: No pop up windows showing errors. Additional info: It appears that the error is shown because '~/.local/share/' is not present on system and KDE at startup is trying to modify user-places.xbel Creating the folders at user-login seems to fix this.
