Issue/Bug Description:
I can't update my recovery in the settings menu.
The error below says permission error, but I don't understand Why I get it.

This might be just me, because I'm having quite some problems with efi, grub and the boot partition. But if that's the case, then the error is not telling me the problem.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Click on update in the settings.

1. It Downloads the image
2. Then it verifies the image
3. Then the error shows up

Other Notes:
The error displayed, looks visually bad, and I can't copy the text.
But at least there is something.

That is not a permissions error - something is really wrong with that partition. You should run fsck (a filesystem integrity/health check) on that partition. I would also run a S.M.A.R.T. check on the drive. gSmartControl is a nice program for this, or you can use smartctl.

Also, check to see if the there might be more than one casper* folder in the /recovery. If so remove them and retry the update button.
To list all casper folders:

sudo sh -c "ls -d /recovery/casper*"
