UBports installer under ubuntu 16.04 desktop

[Bastos]

Os: Ubuntu 16.04
Snap latest from github. I have installed the ubports-installer the first time

@bastos I assume you have checked you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Have you tried to run the installer with sudo?

If you have any problem with .Xauthority reboot your computer and hope that fixes it

[Bastos]

adb and fastboot is installed. I try the restart. Thanks, @advocatux

[advocatux]

@bastos good luck!

[Bastos]

Reboot failed. Same error

[advocatux]

@bastos that's a weird error for sure. Is your computer set in any non-usual way?

[Bastos]

I dont think so. But I am on ubuntu since 07.04 so maybe some weired things have evolved

[advocatux]

@bastos can you paste here your /etc/sudoers config?

[advocatux]

First time I read this /hdd/home/sebastian/ it got my attention too. How is your /home mounted exactly?

It seems there's a bug with Snap and non-usual ways to mount that directory.

Ah yes. This could be. Have to check with my Admin. Thanks.
