Could not write file

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
I'm using LMMS on Kxstudio (as Boot) then every couple seconds pop up this message :

Code: Select all

Could not open /recover.mmp for writing. You probably are not permitted to write to this file. Please make sure you have write -access to the file and try again
I even reinstall LMMS as Root, tried everything, and all the project are in *.mmpz still pops up..
How to solve this? Thank you.

In the menu. Edit -> Settings -> Paths . Change the path for the LMMS WORKING DIRECTORY to point to the lmms directory in your $HOME.

Did you install LMMS as Administrator? Win10 is very restrictive with file writing-rights.
When do you have write-issues? What exactly have you selected to do
? first manual save
? autosave
? backup
-When do you have fails
Please explain in detail!

Do you get a popup message? -Please show that

When you say :

What is that 'It' -Do you get an error, and is it impossible to save your project?

If so, could you please post your:
* Name of your **Operative System** (Windows/ Linux/ Mac) And subtype (Home' 'Mint' '10.13' aso)
* lmms **version** and the *site* where you got it from
Hi! So I've been struggling with this issue and couldn't find an answer that worked. Luckily, I picked through various solutions in this and other forums and finally found something that worked for me.

Go to Program Files ( C:\Program Files ) and highlighted the LMMS folder, then right click it.

Select Properties.

In the tabs on properties the pop-up, find 'security'.

From here, there should be a few selection options under 'group or user names'. Go through each one and edit it's permission to allow 'write' if it's available. You may have to scroll on the permissions to find it.

Hope this helped!

You should not use KX-studios LMMS. It is very outdated!
The Only version of LMMS you should install is the official AppImage for Linux -or alpha-version, if you can accept a lot of crashes..
Get your official AppImage for Linux here:

Let us know the outcome :)
