A couple of thoughts: 1. This sounds similar to bug 505861, but I'm not sure yet whether they're related.
2. If settings.json is somehow corrupt, Transmission may be using your home directory as a fallback value. Eric, could you please run your ~/.config/transmission/settings.json file through a JSON parser (such as http://json.parser.online.fr/) to check for parse errors? 3. Does this problem persist when you use Transmission in the guest user account? 4. Are you using a new install of Lucid, or did you upgrade on top of Karmic? *If* this is the same as ticket 505861, it's possible that Transmission or GTK+ are eating the last subfolder out of a path.. that is, it's possible that 505861's /home/shankao/Download is being truncated as /home/shankao, and your /home/yourname is being truncated as /home. The user in ticket 505861 reported upgrading Lucid on top of Karmic. 5. To test the theory in the previous bullet item -- if you tell Transmission to save to /home/yourname/Desktop, does it try to save to /home/yourname instead? If you tell Transmission to save to /home, does it try to save to / ? etc. -- Prompt for where to save file defaults to /home instead of /home/user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500011 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
