Comment 1 for bug 68249

I had the same problem with a new installation of ubuntu feisty 7.04.

The ~/.tvtime directory had group/owner root, so the tvtime app didn't have permission to save ~/.tvtime/stationslist.xml

Fixed with these commands <user> is the current desktop user:

$ cd ~/
$ sudo chgrp <user> .tvtime
$ sudo chown <user> .tvtime
