This leads to the FT-UI being started as user ROBOPro
of the chroot which actually is the user sshd
outside the chroot. This user has no write permission to the user folder and thus no programs can be saved.
I'd expect chroot to have the ability to re-map users. After all, changing into an alien file system like we do here is the main purpose. Doesn't it?
I just checked on fischertechniks user.tab. As far as I can tell they generate the user IDs during build and they are not fixed leading to this problem after changing the user.tab on their side. I think we can just fix the user ID of ROBOPro to 1008 and it should be fine.

run_txtcontrol does a chroot like this:
chroot /rom/ su - ROBOPro -c "$DISPLAY ./TxtControlMain /dev/ttyO2 65000"
@harbaum : GNU chroot allows to combine the su
and the chroot
with the --userspec
argument, but BusyBox chroot has no options for that.
The following would maybe work if ROBOPro would be allowed to chroot (but it isn't).
su - ROBOPro -c "$DISPLAY chroot /rom/ ./TxtControlMain /dev/ttyO2 65000"
After #285, there is still the issue that the ftc user has no access to the sound files. There are 2 options
The first option would be more complex. The second would not allow for a simple upgrade path.
There is a discrepancy between the UID/GID in the rom and the one shipped with FTC. To me, it is unclear which one is considered wrong: /etc/passwd is in ROM:
ROBOPro:x:1004:1008::/opt/knobloch:/bin/sh
in CFW:ROBOPro:x:1000:1000::/opt/fischertechnik:/bin/sh
Intuitively, I would change the CFW one, but it has been 1000/1000 from the very first release. FYI @ski7777 @rkunze @harbaum
