<p>The error I'm getting is</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Geany tried to access the Unix Domain socket of another instance running as another user.<br>
This is a fatal error and Geany will now quit.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm aware of <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/294">#294</a>, but I'm not running geany as root. This error occurs whenever I start an instance of geany, then either start another instance or open a file with geany (through right click -> open with geany).</p>
<p>While an instance of geany is running, <code>ls -l .config/geany/ | grep socket</code> shows</p>
<p><code>lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 60 Feb 26 14:11 geany_socket_Starlight__0 -> /tmp/geany_socket.fcdcdb1b</code></p>
<p>If I understand correctly, the owner of this file should be me, not root.</p>
<p>I suspect that this problem is related to the way I've set up my home directory - it's on an NTFS partition. (More accurately, .config/geany is symlinked to a directory on an NTFS partition.)</p>
