Asked to sign in every time on Ubuntu

[danGPNUF]

I recently installed Eagle 9.4.2 on Ubuntu. Prior to the installation, I only had to sign in the first time I launched Eagle. After that, it would remember me and not need my email and password each time. But now, I get the sign in screen every time, which is moderately annoying.

I assume this is probably just a permissions problem with whichever file Autodesk is trying to save my login credentials in. Which file should I look for?

Thank you.

On Windows, it would be these:

(I know it says AutoCAD, but you should be able to find similar folders for Eagle)

Sorry, I don't know Linux... not sure if knowing the Windows counterparts will help?

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a direct correlation between Windows and Linux in this case. At least, I searched for a file named like "LoginState.xml" and didn't come up with anything. Perhaps the fact I'm missing that file is the source of the problem? Any Linux users out there able to confirm?

I eventually found the file in Linux that retains the login credentials. It's located at:

~/.local/share/Eagle/subscription.v1

In my case, that file was owned by root for some reason. I chown'd it back to my user and the problem went away.
