Describe the issue

Trying to run the precompiled binaries on Fedora results in an error:

Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /home/calcifer/.firo. Firo Core is probably already running. No such file or directory.

firo-qt seems to run initially, but after proceeding from the first screen, a popup appears with the error mentioned above.

Local setup

  • OS: Fedora 37
  • Firo v0.14.12.1, downloaded from github (firo-0.14.12.1-linux64.tar.gz )

Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process.

Probably related to #1240

I found the problem that caused this error. For some reason the local .firo folder was created as root, so it couldn't be accessed. I'm not sure how that happened, as i'm sure i didn't create the folder manually.

Is it possible that the .firo folder was created when trying to run firod through Docker?

yes that's very likely, but i'm not sure why it was created as root. I don't run Docker with sudo.
