| shailangsa | anybody know why im getting an error message which shows "Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend (permission denied) when trying to install git? https://prnt.sc/uko6pk | 18:51 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | some unattended updates are waiting/processed in the back ground. | 18:59 |
| oerheks | this happens after boot, right? | 18:59 |
| oerheks | Just wait a minute or so .. | 18:59 |
| shailangsa | anybody know why im getting an [Errno 13] Permission denied when running a repo command? http://prnt.sc/ukov8k | 19:39 |
| shailangsa | oerheks i solved it by running sudo before the command, im now getting an errno 13 permission denied, why is that? | 19:39 |
| oerheks | why a screenshot for soem text.. | 19:40 |
| shailangsa | i provided a screenshot as im running ubuntu on a VM | 19:41 |
| oerheks | i am not going to type over your command to see what is wrong.. sure you can use paste.ubuntu.com | 19:42 |
| juliank | shailangsa: you are running a snap which like is confined to $HOME as root, root's home is /root - you should be running it as your own user | 19:47 |
| oerheks | for snaps, go into softwarecenter > installed <snap> > permissions | 19:51 |
| shailangsa | i cant see softwarecenter, perhaps its because im running ubuntu 20.04? | 19:54 |
| shailangsa | juliank ive pasted the error on pastebin https://pastebin.com/015XnL0S i get the same when i run the command as admin1 too , why is that? | 19:56 |
| juliank | shailangsa: those are clearly different errors | 19:57 |
| juliank | shailangsa: You probably created directories/files as root now, and now your own user can't write to them | 19:57 |
| juliank | shailangsa: In any case, this feels like you should take it to #ubuntu | 19:58 |
| juliank | and don't run stuff as root :/ | 19:59 |
| shailangsa | is there anyway to see logs of the terminal? | 20:00 |
| oerheks | python2.7 .. https://snapcraft.io/git-repo is pretty old | 20:01 |
| shailangsa | what do you mean? | 20:01 |
| oerheks | 2017 ? | 20:04 |
