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
