I’ve got the get_iplayer snap (on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) and can save files to my home directory, but when I try to set the output path to my main data directory I get the following error:-
ERROR: Could not create dir ‘/data/iPlayer/Download’: mkdir /data: Read-only file system at /snap/get-iplayer/315/get_iplayer line 3504.
My user does have access to that path, for example I can
touch /data/iPlayer/Download/testfile.txt
and edit the file fine, but it seems the snap command doesn’t have permissions to access that path? Is the snap command somehow executing under a different user, even though I am invoking the command under my user? I have a group datausers that has rwx access to all those paths so does a snap user need adding to that group?
Thanks
