Hi.
How to give write permissions for the software?
I created folder inside Arduino IDE and the Arduino IDE should write some data to this folder, but Arduino reports error:
Could not write preferences file: /usr/share/arduino/portable/preferences.txt (Permission denied)
I have already:
chmod +w /usr/share/arduino/arduino <= software
chmod +w /usr/share/arduino/portable <= folder
What can I have to do?
Why is that software trying to write in a restricted location? As you see you don't have permissions there and your regular user shouldn't so there is something wonky in the configuration.
Edit: The "portable" is a clue. Put the software folder within your user's home folder. Then perhaps it'll work. It really should be a proper package and not portable if it's going to live outside of your home though.
