Clickable: CMake Error: Cannot open file for write

Ok, I tried to change permissions of my

I saw in the installation guide that I also had to install
docker.ioin order to makeclickableto work but I skipped this step because I already have Docker on my machine. My Docker instance is configured to start containers without root privileges. I don't remember exactly how it was done but I made it after Docker installation for sure.$ docker --version Docker version 20.10.21, build baeda1f $ clickable setup Docker is already set up Bash completion seems to be already set up. Run "source /home/ezze/.bashrc" or open a new terminal to apply changes. $ docker image ls REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE clickable/amd64-16.04-amd64 16.04.5 ea27f5a0adbd 8 days ago 3.85GB postgres 12 4c69e29b9bc4 4 months ago 373MB debian buster d4729731066b 4 months ago 114MB maven 3.8.5-openjdk-17-slim 126d58d17617 7 months ago 424MB openjdk 17.0.2-jdk-slim-bullseye 37cb44321d04 7 months ago 408MB node 16.5-alpine 4d2c046835fc 17 months ago 112MBSo is it supposed to run
clickablecommands with root privileges?I reinstalled
clickablefrom apt repository in order to be possible to run it underroot, and do the following from my project's root directory:$ sudo clickable setup docker $ sudo clickableGoing to run all of "build", "install", "launch" Running command "build" Building app -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/ezze/Development/ubuntu-touch/hello-world/build/all/app [ 50%] Merging translations into hello-world.desktop...

ADB: No devices attached SSH: no IP address specified (--ssh)Now it seems that I have more progress on running my first app (still need to explore why my device is not visible though developer mode is enabled). But my question at the moment: how can I configure
clickableto run without root privileges? -

I think the error was because you were not in "docker" group. Check if you are in docker group and if not, add yourself. A restart (or logout/login) may be needed.

@jezek First of all, thank you for your reply! Really appreciate it!
I am pretty sure I had
dockergroup because I was able to run docker without root privileges.My last experiments with running
sudo clickablementioned above ended with broken login screen after reboot (.Xauthoritywas not writeable for some reason, and removing it didn't help). So I had to remove both Docker and Clickable in recovery mode.Here is the second attempt, and now I've installed Docker in rootless mode. Clickable asked me to setup Docker on the first run:
$ clickable Going to run all of "build", "install", "launch" Running command "build" Building app Docker is not running or not properly set up. Please run "clickable setup docker" first. ezze@merisa:~/Development/ubuntu-touch/hello-world$ clickable setup docker Do you want Clickable to set up docker by adding you to the docker group? See https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface for security implications. [Y/n]: y Setting up docker Asking for root to start docker [sudo] password for ezze: Setup finished Docker is set up and ready.And I am in
dockergroup:$ groups ezze ezze : ezze adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin lxd sambashare dockerAnyway I'm still getting the same error like described in the first post of the topic when running
clickablefrom the root directory of the project withoutrootprivileges. -
@ezze If you installed clickable as root you have to run it as root.
-
@wizardi3 First time I installed it with this command:
pip3 install --user clickable-ut --upgradeSo I didn't use
sudo. Shouldpip3install it locally? -
@ezze Are you running Ubuntu? If so this is recommended
Install Via PPA (Ubuntu)
Add the PPA to your system:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bhdouglass/clickable
Update your package list: sudo apt-get update
Install clickable: sudo apt-get install clickableIf you use this you will be running in the /home directory of the user you logged in as and will probably have to preface your commands with sudo to avoid permission errors.
I installed as root
add-apt-repository ppa:bhdouglass/clickable
apt-get update
apt-get install clickableThen ran as root the directoy you create will be under /root.
If you are running clickable in a terminal as root and using a GUI to move and edit files as a non root user you will have problems -
@wizardi3 Yes, I am on Ubuntu 20.04. I've already done these steps (tried installing from both
pip3andapt, see above), and yes, Clickable works under theroot.But this is not what I want. My questions is whether it's possible to install and run it without root privileges. I guess that Docker is the culprit. I don't want to run Docker with root privileges for security reasons, and it was configured this way to run other image containers. But seems that Clickable doesn't respect this way of Docker installation, no matter whether it's installed with
pip3orapt. -

I'm still struggling with the issue, so decided to report it here.

@ezze You could disable docker when not in use.
