A classic Can't open home?
Dear All,
This morning I installed your splendid program on our family Ubuntu computer. I designed a new home, and as my youngest was very keen on exploring all features, I tried dumping a copy of the sh3d file in /var/tmp. It has all the right permissions, but still we get this "Can't open home" error. I tried looking in this forum for similar errors, but didn't get any the wiser. I checked the file, it does not contain all zeros. Apart from that, I don't really have a clue where to start. I installed the program system-wide, my son can use it when he is logged in to his own account and he can draw stuff. So it is probably a matter of permissions - everything is, usually, but even a 777 does not solve the problem.
Does anybody recognize this? Thanks for your time,

Re: A classic Can't open home?
/var/tmp has the sticky bit set. This means that user B cannot delete or rename files created by user A. It may be that SH3D is trying to do something to the file that is blocked by the sticky bit. User B should be able to copy the file to their home directory, and use it from there.
