Current nano (2.4.2) will only check for the existence of $HOME/.nano/ (and create it when it doesn't exist) when 'set historylog' or 'set poslog' are set in the $HOME/.nanorc file (or when the -H or -P options are used on the command line). But... when nano is used for the very first time (with sudo), how come there is already a .nanorc file? Does Ubuntu give you a default one? Or do they tell you to create a .nanorc before starting to use nano?
Maybe Ubuntu could consider adding an empty .nano dir to the skeleton dir for each new user? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471459 Title: First run of nano creates a directory in $HOME, if run as sudo will be root owned To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1471459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
