Permission error 13 on /ramdisk?

mike99mac · December 23, 2021, 12:10pm

Hi, I flashed Ubuntu server onto an SD card, started with the steps I’ve documented, then followed @goldyfruit Ansible steps, but then went back my steps for the Mycroft install. But now Mycroft is not working.

The skills.log file has this:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/os.py", line 223, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/ramdisk'

I don’t remember using the directory /ramdisk. Is this new, or perhaps a side effect of running the Ansible jobs?

Thanks.

The /ramdisk is part of ansible-role-mycroft , according to the README.md on the GitHub page:

RAMDisk support for IPC

Because you are running Ubuntu, the default user should be ubuntu and not pi.

github.com

smartgic/ansible-role-mycroft/blob/main/defaults/main.yml#L4


      
          ---
          mycroft_git_repo: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
          mycroft_branch: master
          mycroft_user: pi

You can override this variable on the playbook or directly on the command line.

@goldyfruit - thanks for the quick reply.

The pi user has worked fine the half-dozen or so times I’ve restarted from scratch. I will just start from scratch again today to have a clean image. Sorry, I’ll be skipping the Ansible jobs.

Don’t worry, Ansible requires a bit more knowledge than Bash.
Thanks for testing.
