/tmp permissions

Hello,

Today, after building several SBo packages, I failed to run chromium and got the following error message

ERROR

rocess_singleton_posix.cc(975)] Failed to create socket directory.

'chmod 1777 /tmp' solved the problem.

But in my /etc/fstab I have

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=500M 0 0

My question is : why /tmp did not stay 1777 ?

I would say
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=500M 0 0
will rule the files inside /tmp, but not the mount point (/tmp) itself.

could be a package you installed for some reason contains a /tmp directory with wrong permissions: you can check with

Code:

grep ^tmp/ /var/log/packages/*

the ones installed by the packages aaa_base and etc are ok, something else is wrong.

@ponce : you are right, it's clementine with tmp/SBo/clementine-20151124/build/spotify/
