I’ve just installed Lubuntu 16.10 and Atom. I can run Atom ok from command line (sudo atom) but launching from the icon throws an error. Thanks for any help!
Error starting from launcher with Lubuntu

Thanks for picking this up.
No - I get this message: /usr/bin/atom: line 112: /home/richard/.atom/nohup.out: Permission denied
Are you signed in as richard? If so, you should try sudo chown -R richard /home/richard/.atom
and then try atom
. It sounds like you might have installed Atom under sudo
, so files created by Atom are owned by root. Changing the ownership should fix it.
