I get this all the time:
May 27 02:11:46 openzaurus user.notice root: could not open for writing `/root/Settings/Launcher.conf.new\'

With various files, is it normal?

Cheers.

Is your root full?

No, that is why I find it weird... It is it a lot of conf recreating files in Settings, qpe.conf, Launcher.conf, etc...

Whatever app you are running that creates that error message is reading your $HOME entry from /etc/passwd. $HOME by default on some ROMS is /root, which is a read-only file system and thus the reason for your errors.

If you change the entry in /etc/passwd to /home/root from /root, then the messages will probably go away.

My $HOME is /root, and is where the directory is, not a symlink, which could be a cause for the problem. In OZ / is rw...

Thanks, I\'ll try to change it to somewhere else, just to see what happens.
