[linux] config write permission problem

[truthseek]

hi@ll

the situation (kubuntu 5.10):
/home/myuser/quake3/
chown -R myuser:myuser quake3/
chmod -R +rwx quake3/

if I don't "sudo quake3" it can't write the configs.
any hints on what kind of permissions/general settings whousl I use to get it launched properly?

bye@ll

EDIT:
solved:
sudo chown -R myuser:mygourp ~/.q3a/
sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.q3a/

damned hidden directory :-)

or you could've aliased quake3 to sudo quake3... but then i guess you'd still have to type your pass every time.

sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.q3a/

`sudo chmod -R 700 ~/.q3a/` should've been sufficient.

Sooner or later you'll come to shout to yourself how useful that hidden directory is and how silly win is though by setting fs_homepath it is possible to imitate it but it is not elegant and it means you abuse one option but true sweetness lies in a combination with unix radiant but all in all it does not make sense on unix to edit something with less apps compared to win and most of all overbrightbits does not work on it which makes things look more dull compare to win while it gains more fps but hard liinking on ntfs formatted filesystem can compensate this though there are a few restrictions still left.

fuck's sake son. that was <i>not</i> one sentence. maybe you could edit that to turn it into, you know, LANGUAGE.
