Question

When trying to start up ultralytics I get the error:
“FATAL: The application binary appears to be running setuid, this is a security hole.”
This never used to be a problem and is the first time seeing this. I have been running this on the rpi 5 and never had any issues until now. It might be an issue with my pi but I don’t know. Please help!

Hello! It seems like you're encountering a security-related error due to how the application's permissions are set. Here's a quick suggestion you can try to resolve it:

If you're comfortable with using the terminal, you can remove the setuid bit from the binary that's causing the error. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo chmod -s /path/to/your/binary

Make sure to replace /path/to/your/binary with the actual path to the Ultralytics executable that's causing the issue. This should help remove the setuid bit, thus addressing the security warning.

If the problem persists, reviewing the permission settings of your environment or considering a fresh setup/installation might also be beneficial. Keep us posted on how it goes! 😊
