Important: When reporting BSODs or security issues, DO NOT attach memory dumps, logs, or traces to Github issues.

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

I got an issue after install ubuntu. tying to run some simple script in the classroom, however it is denied every time...with this error message " python3: can't open file 'simple.py': [Errno 13] permission denied";

then trying to chmod 764 simple.py; it was denied again: "chmod: change permissions of 'simple.py': operation not permitted"

I tried to change the folder's permission to full control, including all sub-folders. nothing changes, I still got the same error message....denied

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If some_command is failing, then run strace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents of some_command.strace in a gist here)

See our contributing instructions for assistance.

could someone please help me? very frustrating...thank you!

Alittle better. A couple more things to ask:

Are you using the default python installed with Ubuntu (or an updated version) or Windows Python?

Is your homework folder a Windows directory or did you create it in Ubuntu?

thank you.

Yes, I did use the default python (python2) installed with Ubuntu, but updated to python3, since our class is using python3.

I created the homework folder using Ubuntu

@escape160 - After cd homework, please share the output of these two commands from bash

~whoami
~ls -al simple.py

For help running Python3 on Ubuntu you'll get better service in ServerFault, the Ubuntu forums, or a Python forum. [ed] Here's one walkthrough as a first hit.
