printer settings not persistent?

[Simon]

Hi,

Could anyone tell me if it is normal that S3D keeps forgetting my printer settings? I have a Kossel, so I choose "other" when the program starts and manually set up the build area and so on. But I have to do this every time I start the program.

I think this should be stored somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be.

Running on Ubuntu.

Sounds like a permission issue with some of the s3d setting files. try running the script in the last post of this thread:

Here's the actual post you should try:

If Not.
Make a file with this

#!/bin/bash
echo "Changing to Simplify3D Software Directory..."
cd /opt/Simplify3D-2.1.1
echo "Done."
echo "Allowing permissions..."
sudo chmod go+rwx Simplify3D
sudo chmod go+rwx libInterface.so
sudo chmod go+rwx LaunchScript.sh
echo "Done."
echo "Allowing user to access Serial Ports..."
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
echo "Done."
echo "Checking for working directory..."
cd /home/$USER/.local/share
mkdir Simplify3D
mkdir Simplify3D/Creator
sudo chmod -R go+rwx Simplify3D
echo "mkdir complete."
echo "If you see mkdir fail, directory exists, this is normal."
echo "Script finished. Open the Simplify3D shortcut on the Desktop and... Happy printing! -Simplify3D Software Team."

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and at the end of the install, I said "yes" to launch Simlify3D now.

Unfortunately, that created ~/.config/Simplify3D/Creator.conf and the implify3D directory and the Creator.conf file were both owned by root.

It doesn't look like that script will fix that.

I posted the commands I used to fix things over here:

It indeed was a problem with the permission of the configuration file. Solved. Thank you!
