Static Path #135

Closed ap0l0 closed 1 year ago

ap0l0 commented 1 year ago

Describe the problem The automated script is returning the following error: fatal: could not create leading directories of '/home/pi/SlowMovie': Permission denied

Latest OS versions require you to create a user instead of using the default "pi". I reviewed the script and updated the following lines with correct path:

# set the local directory
LOCAL_DIR="/home/pi/$(basename $GIT_REPO)"

cd /home/pi/

I am not a coder so I can't improve code to change the splash screen options or make it dynamic.

Steps to Reproduce Run main script

Platform Information Raspberrybi Zero W Debian Bulleye

Thanks for pointing this out. I saw some news about the pi user account a while back but didn't think about it's impact to this script specifically.

I'll get a PR going but the fix is pretty basic, just need to insert the actual username into that line:

LOCAL_DIR="/home/$USER/$(basename $GIT_REPO)"

There are some other locations where the home path is given as well that will need to be updated.
