PermissionError: [Errno 13]

[Tinnnitus]

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to run ocr-d and followed the native installation guide via https://ocr-d.de/en/setup. Everything seems to have worked, but when I want to test the native installation I get an error report. Is somebody able to help me here please? I'm testing it on Ubuntu 22.04.02 via wsl on Windows 11. Many thanks in advance!

Are you sure the permissions in ~/ocrd_all/data are correct? Can you do mkdir foo on the command line?

[Tinnnitus]

Hey, thank you very much for your response. I can do "mkdir foo" and it creates the folder. I also tried to give permissions with "sudo chmod -R 755" but to no avail. However I am by no means a computer expert, so any advise is very much welcome!
Is it maybe an issue because I am using Ubuntu via Windows Sub System?
Thanks in advance for taking your time, maybe you have another suggestion. Kind regards!

Sorry for the long delay. Without further details, this is hard to solve. It's a permission problem, so maybe you did use sudo at some point. One way to test this is to change the owner/group to the user running OCR-D for all the whole ocrd_all directory, e.g. sudo chown -R flo:flo ~/ocrd_all and see if that fixes the issue.

Not an issue with OCR-D AFAICS, so closing, thanks for the report.
