[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Config Directory can not be created (#2203)

[Enrico Tröger]

Could you start Geany with `geany -v` from the terminal and see if there is anything useful in the output?
By default, Geany's configuration directory is in `~/.config/geany`, does that directory exist and can your user write to `~/.config`?
If it exist, could you post the output of `ls -la ~/.config/geany`?

Based on the output above, it might be the symlink creation which fails: on startup, Geany creates a Unix domain socket in `/tmp` and then create a symlink to that file in the config directory.
Is there a file like `geany_socket.<something>` in your `/tmp` and if so, what are its permissions and ownership?
