Error opening directory in Zotero: Permission denied

I am stuck with a (probably) silly problem: modifying preferences in Zotero-standalone! I would like Zotero standalone in Ubuntu to point to the Zotero data in the Windows partition. directory permission The ‘Windows data partition’ is mounted on a folder of mine. So far Zotero replies that permission to access the directory is denied. What can I test or correct?

Ran into the same issue today, ending the process and re-opening it resolved it for me.

Steps to reproduce what I did:

• Open System Monitor and search for snap-store
• Select the snap-store process and hit End Process
• Re-open Ubuntu Software

On the technical side of things this looks like a minor permissions issue, not much to worry about.

You can also run killall snap-store from the Terminal for the same effect, if you don’t have System Monitor

I need to do this every single time I use the store; is there a definite solution to solve the permission issues? Thanks

I couldn’t kill the snap-store process so I just restarted my computer to clear the error.

Using system monitor to End Process took a moment and a force quit confirmation. Use the «End Process» button at the bottom of the window, rather than the options presented when right clicking.

$ ps -aux | grep snap-store user1 1591 0.0 0.8 1338376 138668 ? Sl Feb01 3:04 /snap/snap-store/467/usr/bin/snap-store --gapplication-service $ kill -9 1591

Permission denied when browsing for files using Ubuntu 18.04

I have two partitions that I mount during boot, which aren’t on my boot drive (SSD), but on internal HDD. I can access the files fine using Nautilus, I can edit them (e.g. with PhpStorm) but when I try to open a file using the «browse» functionality (e.g. when uploading a file using Firefox or opening a repository in GitKraken) I get a «permission denied» error. I can’t even upload a picture of the problem here, so this is what it says:

Could not read the contents of www. Error opening directory '/media/www': Permission denied 

I really don’t know what’s wrong. Anyone have an idea? The drives in question are the last 2 lines in my fstab file: /etc/fstab
