flightgear won't log

[edds]

I can't log in Flightgear under linux. Flightgear exists with the message:

The FGLogger logging system, via the '/logging/log/filename' property, was asked to write to 'fg_log.csv', however this path is not authorized for writing anymore for security reasons. Please choose another location, for instance in the $FG_HOME/Export folder (/home/username/.fgfs/Export).

Output of

Code: Select all

var path = getprop("/sim/fg-home");
print("Your $FG_HOME is at: ", path);


show:

Your $FG_HOME is at: /home/username/.fgfs

the property /logging/log/filename is set to fg_log.csv.

Flightgear 2018.2.2.

the answer is quite simple and right there in your post... set the file name of the log to /home/username/.fgfs/Export/fg_log.csv

basically what has happened is that without the path in the filename, the system is trying to write the file somewhere it is not allowed to... since it cannot do that, it is rightfully exiting in a controlled manner...

I did this, nothing changed.

something should have changed... eg: the error message
