(solved) runcommand.sh permission denied

DTEAM

Hi @mitu ,
I was not able to update Retropie Script (script module issue) so I decided to get and install the one on GitHub .
Now, the update worked perfectly but now I can't load any games. I have this message.

sh: 1:  /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: Permission denied

the file accessibility is 644 (-rw-r--r--)

Do you have a solution for that

Thanks

mitu

@dteam said in runcommand.sh permission denied:

the file accessibility is 644 (-rw-r--r--)

The file's attributes are wrong, it's not executable.

Do you have a solution for that

Post a log of the update from $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs and some details about your setup ( https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first).

my setup is normal. I got the original image from retropie. Add some extra scripts with the time, but not more than that.

I tried that but not permited

pi@retropie:~ $ chmod -R 777 /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh
chmod: changing permissions of '/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh': Operation not permitted

In my supplementary folder, everything are set 755 excepted runcommandd.sh = 644

@dteam

Solved.

I deleted the runcommand.sh file with "file manager" in

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh

I changed the permission from 644 to 755 for

/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh

The second runcommand.sh in Home folder is changeable.

I went back in "RetroPie Setup" and run "update script" and now everything is fine. It copied from home folder to opt folder.
I got the files from joolswills
I don't know why it was set 644.
