The folder /tmp is not writable by my user and as a result cannot create the /tmp/k* file by keyboard-config. Reading the file permissions should be 1777 so as root I ran chmod 1777 /tmp/* But after shutdown (does not shutdown) I press reboot, all is lost and upon logging in and running startx the same thing happens. I have to login as root run startx, run chmod 1777 /tmp/*, logout and then I can login as a regular user. How can I check the permissions? On another machine I ran 13.0Beta1 all the way to release most things are working great (except java web start), but I am limited in troubleshooting these things. I have to use webcam, and the webcam was blinking when using Google meets but another plugin(hue viewer ) helps stabilize the webcam. Thank you for your help. Best Regards, Antonio
