[SOLVED] How to suppress an xfce4-notes error in kubuntu?

In a multi-boot environment, I am using cfxe4-notes in Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2 with locked xfconf configuration files, which don't generate error on autostart.

The same configuration in Kubuntu 22.04 generates an error:

(xfce4-notes:1928): WARNING **: 01:21:39.154: theme-gtkcss.vala:34: Unable to update CSS file: Failed to rename file “/home/ineuw/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css.AXLQ91” to “/home/ineuw/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css”: g_rename() failed: Operation not permitted

Is there a way I can hide this?

I would say that you can check the rights/owner/attributes for the "/home/ineuw/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css" - file
the process return an error because of not permitted and its better or easier to fix this than suppress this message.
I would check if the attribute is set correct and set it " sudo chattr -i /home/ineuw/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css"

for more info "man chattr"

maybe this will help

I own the files. Chattr +i is applied and that is what's causing the issue on Kubuntu. But, in Linux Mint the identical configuration generates no error message. The .rc and .css files must remain locked to retain my preferences.

This problem was solved sometimes in the past week.
