Application Empowerment

Take the ToDesk cloud computer for example, the client cannot open normally because it lacks write permission to the path: ~/.local/share/ToDesk_Daas/Logs.

Troubleshooting Approach

1. Grant necessary permissions in system settings
2. Create directory and modify ownership/permissions

Procedure

1. Grant System Permissions

Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, enable the following permissions:

• Accessibility
• Full Disk Access
• Screen Recording & System Audio

2. Manually Fix Directory Permissions

# Create directory (if missing)
sudo mkdir -p ~/.local/share/ToDesk_Daas/.Logs

# Modify directory ownership and permissions
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.local/share/ToDesk_Daas
chmod -R 755 ~/.local/share/ToDesk_Daas

• chown ensures directory ownership belongs to current user
• chmod 755 grants read/write to owner, read-only to others

Result

Client launched successfully after restarting, successfully entered interface
