why does Intellij change the ownership of files to root?


Intellij keeps changing the ownership of workspace.xml of my SBT Scala project to root and does not let me save the project anymore.

How do I make Intellij store all files as me again?


Solution

  • The problem was to start Intellij with a link on the quickstart menu in KDE. This seems to give Intellij the power to write as root. Start idea.sh directly from install folder with dolphin or bash.
