@Pierre (p-lebedel): I don't know how things behave in case of encrypted home folders. Though, if the default permissions of /home are drwxr-x--x (0711), then the bug triggers.
Changing permissions to drwxr-xr-x (0755) is perfectly fine if you can live with it. However, in some cases (shared environments, server setups etc.) the administrator will want to tighten the permissions to 0711. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074539 Title: Opening Preferences shows read error for home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1074539/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
