[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany refuses to save a file (under yet undetermined conditions) (#1500)

[konsolebox]

> "sudo nano filename.xxx"

I don't agree with the avoid-root-at-all-cost paranoia, but you can minimize the "danger" by running the editor as the actual user that owns the file with `sudo -u`. You can also avoid creating a new file with wrong ownership.

> So using the command geany assumes you're logged in as root, and if you are, you shouldn't have permission issues, but if not, you need to "sudo " into geany

So what exactly was the issue?
