Can't edit in "Personal" commentary module

When I right click on Commentaries-->English-->Personal, "Edit" is greyed out and so I can't select it to add personal notes.

Any ideas why it is greyed out?

I am using Ubuntu Linux 10.10

Thanks!

Re: Can't edit in "Personal" commentary module

I can think of one thing. It may be that you don't have "write" access to the folder that the module is in.

SWORD modules are normally stored in the directory /home/[username]/.sword/ on Linux.

However, some distros prepackage not only SWORD, but a few common modules as well. If you install those from the Ubuntu repos, they will be installed somewhere that only root has permission to write to. If you installed the personal commentary module from your package repositories rather than from within BibleTime, that is probably why.

Re: Can't edit in "Personal" commentary module

I can't quite remember what I did to get this working, but try reinstalling the Personal commentary module.

Also, try installing it as a user rather than root.

I believe it does have something to do with permissions. If it is installed as root, the user may not have permissions.

You may also try reinstalling the entire program as user rather than root.

Sorry I can't be of more help. It was a while ago and I think I just stumbled upon the solution. But I am pretty sure it was a permissions thing.
