Hi there,

I'd like to give access to geany for users of an guest account on a Linux Mint 18.2 system. I did some modifications on the guest account following this link: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/2#TOC-Customize-the-froze...

The problem is I can't open existing files or save new files on a sambashare in my network with geany while in guest mode.

Is the samba share mounted on the linux filesystem where your guest account can see it? Geany does not access anything outside the Linux filesystem.

I can open and save them with other editors like Xed.

Xed can open network locations directly without them being mounted.

No other applications I tested so far show similar behavior (oOffice, gimp, Xed).

I can open the progam and (temporary) save new files to the guest desktop. (Geany can open these file too.)

The guest desktop is in the Linux filesystem I presume.

Starting geany with geany -v in terminal does not show any hints.

Geany works fine in normal user accounts.

Any ideas how to solve this?

I couldn't test the normal guest account of LM 18.2 so far.

Thanks for reading!
