I cannot reproduce this on either of my systems.
Strange, did you remove the file that I mentioned before installing ?

Hmm, moving that file seems to actually cause that behavior. Unfortunately, since I am just wrapping the AppImage I don't know exactly if I can fix that. It seems like a state file used by Lbry's cryptocurrency, which cannot reside in the immutable Nix store. If anyone else has any ideas on how to fix this, I'd be more than happy to hear them, as I'm still pretty new to Nixpkgs.
Also, sorry for the delayed response, I was still waking up and don't usually get onto my machines until I've been up for a hour or 2. I was working off of the fact that it worked in every instance when getting it into Nixpkgs.
I can reproduce the problem, and @yisraeldov's command fixes it:
chmod a+wrx ~/.local/share/lbry/lbryum/lbc_mainnet/headers
Not sure how to fix the installation since it's a file in user folder...
From what I can tell, this file is made at first run. The install script does not even have access to user directories, so a fix may not be possible on our end.
Report the issue upstream
Just encountered this issue. Still relevant.
@billksun Not sure, it never starts for me. But I sadly think the project is dead.
@enderger @yisraeldov please look at https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7766 it's that one i've got a month or two ago. It won't start cos of died servers. I've fixed wallet servers locally and it worked.
Development slowed down 2y ago, now last commit is 10 moths old. This may be patched, but sadly /decentralized, user-controlled content marketplace/ is not as decentralized as one may think.
Fix also worked for me
Describe the bug LBRY will not start because there is a permissions error
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Expected behavior LBRY should start without this
