That issue says that the .qgis2 folder has incorrectly set permissions.

The work-around in the ticket says delete the .qgis2 folder first;
then run qgis from the command line.
This should recreate .qgis2 with proper permissions.

Another way to tell if it worked, is that you'll have to reinstall your plugins.

-ramon.
You could rename .qgis2 to something else and get the same effect.
