[SOLVED] "Failed to create secure directory" error - Ubuntu

Post by textheavy »

Getting this error when running on Ubuntu:

"Failed to create secure directory (run/user/1000/pulse): Permission denied"

I have updated Ubuntu since the last time I played. I'm assuming that's why I'm suddenly getting this error.

Well...figured out what the issue was.

I've been putting this computer to sleep so many times without restarting it, and I needed to re-authenticate by logging out and back in. Problem solved.

Oh wow. What a solution :D I would have been surprised as hell when that happened. I tend never to shutdown my PC either.

Glad to hear you can play the game now, and thanks for reporting the solution.
