I'm sure there's a simple explaination, I just don't understand distrobox all that well yet

I also don't know why

.cargo

.profile, and

.rustup

.rustup

.rustup

.rustup are root owned, but it seems to be related

R

RaevenantOP•2/18/25, 11:54 PM

and

bash

bash also does not have this issue. Only fish for some reason

Hey @tulip, you seen this error before?

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:53 AM

Oh huh

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:53 AM

But it's in my home dir?

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:53 AM

try doing

find . -maxdepth 1 > myfiles.txt

find . -maxdepth 1 > myfiles.txt

find . -maxdepth 1 > myfiles.txt

find . -maxdepth 1 > myfiles.txt on your host and on your distrobox

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:54 AM

then run

delta myfiles.txt myfiles-on-distrobox.txt

delta myfiles.txt myfiles-on-distrobox.txt

delta myfiles.txt myfiles-on-distrobox.txt

delta myfiles.txt myfiles-on-distrobox.txt

brew install git-delta

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:54 AM

you'll see what its so mad about

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:54 AM

What's that do?

RRaevenant What's that do?

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:54 AM

gets all your files as a list and saves it to a file

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:54 AM

then you can compare which ones show up and which ones dont

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:55 AM

the missing ones on the distrobox file list is what is getting permission denied

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:55 AM

oooooh

I am using the Fish shell (version 3.3.1) on MacOS. Every time I run a command it shows this error multiple times:

The commands

try clearing it up

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:56 AM

then re-add stuff and see what breaks it

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:56 AM

Hmmmmm

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:56 AM

But it happens I think because the config is root

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:57 AM

Like, fish works fine if I remove the init_hooks bit

RRaevenant ```yaml [rust] image=registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:40 pull=true repl...

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:57 AM

also highly recommend not putting this stuff on init_hooks

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:57 AM

Oh

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:57 AM

What instead?

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:57 AM

try making a custom distrobox image with boxkit

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

Oh

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

then put a Justfile in

/usr/share/yourthing/Justfile

/usr/share/yourthing/Justfile

/usr/share/yourthing/Justfile

/usr/share/yourthing/Justfile

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

and some alias for it or something

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

myboxjust

myboxjust

myboxjust

myboxjust

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

then BAM you have the same functionality its just "optional"

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:58 AM

Honestly that works for me lmao a few of the things I want to add need like, API keys n stuff

RRaevenant ```yaml [rust] image=registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:40 pull=true repl...

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:59 AM

i think the thing is that the init_hooks part is being run as root on the container and its making it so your regular user bound to the container doesnt get read access to the fish config

Ttulip i think the thing is that the init_hooks part is being run as root on the contai...

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 2:59 AM

Yuuuuuup

T

tulip•2/20/25, 2:59 AM

or dunno

Ttulip try making a custom distrobox image with boxkit

R

RaevenantOP•2/20/25, 3:02 AM

I'll give this a shot and get back to you
