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