Description of problem: Starting terminal shows this error : "mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/tmp/.colorlsXXX’: Permission denied bash: $TMP: ambiguous redirect" Seems to be a repeat of bug 948008 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 19 How reproducible: start terminal Steps to Reproduce: 1.start terminal 2.no need to su to root. Error happens as soon as termianl is started 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Quite strange - it probably means you have /tmp/ with permissions that doesn't allow write for everyone or full. Could you please check this? It would be good to know what's the reason for permission denied on your system. Either way - it is not really repeat of the bug #948008, as this is much less likely scenario - but the script still seems to be still quite fragile. We may probably check if the mktemp works and skip the "support for INCLUDE" feature if not.
I have not been able to reproduce this error since the last update. I would be more than glad to test anything needed though.
We will need some changes in include support handling anyway(because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981373) , as $TMP variable is too generic and sometimes breaks other things. That being said, we may probably handle the access rights to $TMPDIR as well.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
