[Users] Error running single star simulation

[Roland Haas]

Hello Alessandro,

the first error and the cause for the others seems to be:

/bin/sh: 1: /home/alessandro/simulations/tov_ET/output-0002: Permission 
denied

which indicates that somehow the directory is not accessible to your
user account.

You can check by running:

ls -lhd /home/alessandro/simulations/tov_ET/output-0002

what permission bits are set. Possibly you have to do so for all parent
directories:

/home/alessandro/simulations/tov_ET/
/home/alessandro/simulations/
/home/alessandro/

as well.

One way I could see that happening would be if you were running the
simulation in a docker container (as the "root" user in there) but had
mounted your $HOME into the container to be accessible to it.

In that case files would still be owned by "root" (since it is user
number 0 both inside and outside of the container) but not by you.

Other than that I have no clue what may be going on. If my guess was
not right, then if you could describe in more details your setup (OS,
how you run the ET, did you use docker or something similar, did you
use the Linux subsystem on windows etc).

Yours,
Roland
