Any thought or workarounds would be helpful. This is the permanent way to change gPodder's home or downloads location: run gPodder and quit it it will create the /Library/Application Support/gPodder folder run Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

It still thinks the directory and download location is local, doesn't see any of the files I moved to the external drive and still wants to populate the original default local drive.Īll I really would like to do as said above, is change the directory for my podcast downloads. While I didn't get any error responses, nothing actually happened after rebooting my machine and opening Gpodder. It supports RSS, Atom, YouTube, Soundcloud and XSPF. Listen directly on your computer or on your mobile devices.

With my appropriate external drive directories. gPodder downloads and manages free audio and video content ('podcasts') for you. I tried running the "sudo" command before "gedit ~/.pam_environment" and got "mkdir: cannot create directory '/run/user/0': Permission denied No protocol specified (gedit:5626): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:56:48.466: cannot open display: :0Ī cursory web search showed others having trouble with pam environment and Linux Mint/Ubuntu but I don't recall finding anything specific to Gpodder.Ģ.) I also followed the insructions here on the creator's Github page.Īnd entered the following in the Terminal: export GPODDER_HOME=~/.config/gpodder/ Although many include a directory of high-profile podcasts. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. A podcast client, or podcatcher, is a computer program used to stream or download podcasts. I ran the above "gedit ~/.pam_environment", changed the download directory to second hard drive but when I tried to save the file I got the error " Could not save the file “/home/USER/.pam_environment”.You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Add one or two of the following lines (depending on whether you want to change both these variables or just one): GPODDER_HOME= - eg. Session-wide changes on Ubuntu Linux Open a terminalĪ text file will open up (it could well be empty). I have tried two "fixes" and have been unsuccessful with both.ġ.) According to this creator documentation, with Linux, running Gedit and creating a pam.environment file, one can make : I remain convinced that there must be a reasonably straightforward method of changing the download location but for the life of me I have yet to find it.Īs other gpodder Linux users probably know, you can't change "Preferences > Edit config" since Gpodder 3.3 (see bug 1718). I have run into a snag changing the default location for downloads to a second drive due to space limitations. I'm on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon and using gpodder 3.10.16 (6-21-20 update, flatpak) for podcast listening on laptop. My question kept getting caught in a spam filter on linux questions.
