 Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2017 5:32 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Portage and /run/user/1000/ - Permission Denied |
 |
|
So, I'm trying to compile EFL and the friends from e21, but I've stumbled upon a bug that I've seen before. And I've read somewhere before how to solve it. But I forgot to write it down. Rookie's mistake, admittedly.
The error is the following: at some point, the makefile tries to create a directory inside '/run/user/1000/', which leads to a permission denied error:
| Code: | ERR<27509>:ecore_con lib/ecore_con/ecore_con_local.c:160 _ecore_con_local_mkpath() could not create parent directory '/run/user/1000/.ecore' of path '/run/user/1000/.ecore/efreetd/0': Permission denied
|
I remember that it was easily solved by some environment trick; either messing with some environment variable or running portage in a whole different environment, but I don't remember what; any clues?

Did you mean gnu-efi? Or what? |

I tried to reproduce the problem but It built for me.
You might give it a try logged in as root at the console, if that's an option for you. It does seem like it's picking up something from your user environment. You use sudo? Another option might be
| Code: | | # sudo env -i emerge ... |

Aha! If you have been editting things run "chown -R portage:portage /usr/portage". If some files in that directory chain belong to root, portage can't use them.
Been there. Done that. A lot. |

| OP: how do you normally start the root shell in which you run emerge? The command suggested here gives you a very clean environment. If your normal root shell had environment variables that confused the build process, that would explain the error. |

Also “su -” works, if you normally use bare su. There's a similar problem when you have perl5 stuff installed in your user directory, probably more besides...
Maybe portage should be sanitizing the shell env better... the contents of those environment.bz2 files can be worrying sometimes. |

I normally start the shell from a normal session, then calling "su", no hyphen.
No idea what causes that, but it seems to be a problem only when I emerge the ebuilds from enlightenment overlay. I've never had issues with the other ebuilds.

If you do not pass - or equivalent, then parts of your personal login environment will persist into the root shell. If your personal environment has environment variables that confuse the enlightenment ebuilds, that matches the observed symptoms. You could compare root's environment when started with - versus without - to try to narrow down the specific problem variable, if you want to pursue this further.
In my opinion, you should pass - unless you have a good reason to want the environment to pass through. |

This solved my problem of the PS1 prompt string only changing user name. The proper PS1 does not show the long path and I do indeed get it from "su -" and not from "su".
Thanks, Hu. |
