Perhaps we should have the settings saved in the root home directory? Reason being, I run kernelshark as root all the time (on my test boxes, where I only log in as root). And I would still like to have the settings saved. Maybe check if the settings path is the same as $HOME variable? -- Steve > > Signed-off-by: Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) <y.karadz@gmail.com> > --- > kernel-shark/src/KsMainWindow.cpp | 12 +++++++++--- > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/kernel-shark/src/KsMainWindow.cpp b/kernel-shark/src/KsMainWindow.cpp > index 3402764..6da8670 100644 > --- a/kernel-shark/src/KsMainWindow.cpp > +++ b/kernel-shark/src/KsMainWindow.cpp > @@ -152,9 +152,15 @@ KsMainWindow::~KsMainWindow() > _session.getConfDocPtr()); > } > > - _settings.setValue("dataPath", _lastDataFilePath); > - _settings.setValue("confPath", _lastConfFilePath); > - _settings.setValue("pluginPath", _lastPluginFilePath); > + /* > + * Do not save the settings if KernelShark is running with Root > + * privileges.

Do not save the settings if KernelShark is running with Root privileges. Otherwise the configuration file will be owned by Root and later the normal user will have no access to it.
