CCS 20.2 - Update - Group Permission Error

Dear community,

I'm struggling to find the source of a 'permissions error'. When running Code Composer Studio 20.2 (ccstudio), I get an error when trying to update the tool. The error message is as follows:

Software Update: EPERM: operation not permitted, utime '/opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base/'

But the folder is marked as part of the ccstudio group

~ % LANG=en_US.UTF-8 stat /opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base/
  File: /opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base/
  Size: 262       	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   directory

 Birth: 2025-07-30 09:06:17.786363741 -0300

and I'm part of the same group as well

$ groups
... video uucp wheel ccstudio

Shouldn't I be able to write to this folder?

What am I missing here?

Re: CCS 20.2 - Update - Group Permission Error

Same here. I thought the parent directory decides how the children can be treated, so I chmod the parent dir (add group write permission):

sudo chmod g+w /opt/ccstudio/ccs

My groups:

id
... 1004(ccstudio)

Permissions of ccs install dir:

 ls -ld /opt/ccstudio/ccs
drwxrwxr-x 14 root ccstudio 4096 14. Aug 17:30 /opt/ccstudio/ccs

But no success.

Hm, I recursively chmod the ccs_base dir like this:

chmod -R g+w /opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base

Then I repeated the update process despite the error message (

Software Update: EPERM: operation not permitted, utime '/opt/ccstudio/ccs/ccs_base/'

). I did this via  Help -> Check for updates.

After a couple of time all updates passed. Not sure if it actually worked, but the updater says now: all up to date.

Temporarily I've changed (recursively) the folder to my user instead of using more broad configuration of group permissions.

Re: CCS 20.2 - Update - Group Permission Error

Pacman is your package manager and responsible for updating and maintaining software.

The current version in AUR is 20.2.0.00012 and this is the exact same version as listed for linux on the ccstudio website.

If you're running an older version you need to build the uptodate version from the aur and install that through pacman .
