Permissions Error with opt folder

[joesan]

Expected behavior

Doing a ls -la should list me all the files in the directory, in this case the /opt directory

Actual behavior

joesan@joesan-InfinityBook-S-14-v5:/opt/softwares$ ls -l
cannot access '.': Permission denied (os error 13)

I guess there is an issue already relating to this. I could not infer the proposed solution to that issue.

Should I uninstall and install a newer version to fix this? If so which package is that for Ubuntu 20.04?

Hi @joesan

May I ask how do u install lsd, if snap, maybe u should uninstall it and try a deb from
https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd#on-ubuntu
or a binary from
https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd#from-binaries

the problem may be caused by snap and it's not easy to fix

hello @joesan,

The snap packages are not more maintained due to too much issues with the jail system. I try without success to delete the available binaries since quite some time. As proposed by @zwpaper you should install it for the .deb.

This is how I unistalled lsd from the snap package

joesan@joesan-InfinityBook-S-14-v5:~$ sudo snap remove lsd

Then I downloaded the .deb package from the release page and installed it as below:

sudo dpkg -i lsd_0.17.0_amd64.deb
