Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

I'm interested in the ownership and permissions of those files

arctic cliff
#

alright

patent mason
#

well that is interesting

#

did you install something there as root?

arctic cliff
#

well nope i didn't

#

i did install numpy and matplotlib which was done on my behalf

#

by pycharm

#

i was not

#

all was done without root privileges

fringe jetty
#

that's strange, since something did elevate your privileges to root while running those commands
otherwise i can't see how root would be the owner of those files

arctic cliff
#

well thats super weird like it should not have done that

#

i didn't give permission to any such

#

the another venv i created got deleted without any problem idk why this is trippin lmao

#

should i just remove it with root

fringe jetty
#

either way, you can easily solve it by elevating your privileges just to remove the files and folders

arctic cliff
#

i have deactivated it anyway

#

so i think i will just do it

#

oh one thing to be noted

#

i was using flatpak version before

#

which was used to create that env

#

later i downloaded the one from the official site

#

and created the new one from there

fringe jetty
#

no idea, i mostly stay away from flatpak and snap packages

arctic cliff
#

well now i have the official

#

which works as intended

#

alright ig that was strange lmao but thank you guys
