journalctl shows a lot of these “critical” errors, like:


Sep 14 11:10:45 lenovo151 dolphin[2508]: inotify_add_watch(/var/tmp/zypp.zwjLYw) failed: (Permission denied) 
Sep 14 11:11:25 lenovo151 dolphin[3045]: inotify_add_watch(/var/tmp/systemd-private-de6231c0f8824f49aef270afbb6503a9-ModemManager.service-BNifr8) failed: (Permission denied)

These folders are owned by root and they are not readable by anybody else (drwx------)

What does it mean and what can I do about it?

Leap 15.2
Linux 5.3.18-lp152.41-default (x86_64)
KDE Plasma 5.18.5

Thank you.

Yes, “dolphin” cannot read those directories. That’s not really a problem. Just ignore those messages.

nrickert: Thank you for your answer.

Just wondering why they have priority “crit”. “notice” or “warning” would be sufficient, no?

Btw. can I safely delete those zypp files in /var/tmp/ ? (E.g. zypp.zwjLYw ). I have about 400 of them.

This is an upgrade installation from Leap 15.1. Can these be leftovers from Leap 15.1?

I delete all but the most recent.
