uncompress it and put it under my home dir
when I 'cd' into firefox and run the following command with my user account "esolve"
Code: Select all
./firefox
it works fine
but when I switch to root account, and run
Code: Select all
sudo -u ./firefox
I see the errors below, and firefox can't be opened, THEN I tried to modify the package owner: chown -R esolve:esolve firefox, the error persists and firefox still can't be opened
Code: Select all
Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory
if I just run it as root account, there will be errors but firefox can still be opened
I tried the same version of firefox package in another linux machine before and when I'm with root account
"sudo -u esolve ./firefox " works fine
what is wrong with this? it is strange
coz I need to use "sudo -u esolve ./firefox " in a script, otherwiser I will just switch to esolve and run ./firefox
so I hope to deal with this error
