EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/telnet'

[Jerry Easley]

I just upgraded to sdk 2.5.0; when I try to create a new project, I get an error:

EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/telnet'

It doesn't seem to matter what project I'm trying to create.  In this particular case I'm trying to create one from the Telnet sample.

Regards,

Hi,

I assume you are using the "telnet" sample? If so, it looks like you are trying to place it at "/", which your normal user don't have write access to. So you should pick a more appropriate path when you are prompted for that (somewhere within your home directory).

Hi Einar,

Thank you; that got me past that problem.  However, I'm still not creating the project; I'm getting these error messages:

Command failed: git commit -m "Initial commit for telnet"

Author identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.

Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'jerry@Ubuntu.(none)')

I have no idea what it is trying to tell me.

Since this is really different problem, should I close it and create a new ticket?

Regards,

Jerry

Hi Einar,

I should, one day, learn to read; the error message clearly tells me what to do.  I apologize for bothering you further.

Jerry
