How to give permission to delete temporary files #463

Closed KraynSG closed 3 years ago

KraynSG commented 3 years ago

When I try to delete the temporary files with the command "./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh prompt_delete_temporary_files" in Cygwin, it respond :

-bash: ./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh: Permission denied

How can I give the permission to delete it ?

Hi, thanks for the bug report! Please run the following command and attach the debug.txt file here:

bash -x ./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh prompt_delete_temporary_files 2> debug.txt

debug.txt

In case where @KraynSG did not add the debug. Got the same issue.

@chapit-nicolas the debug.txt shows that the VM is running, and the script won't delete the temporary files unless the virtual machine is powered off and without a suspended state.

Another possible issue is that the script directory was copied and the script file lost its execution permission. In which case, you can run the script with bash ./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh prompt_delete_temporary_files or you can add the execution permission with chmod u+x macos-guest-virtualbox.sh and then run the script with ./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh prompt_delete_temporary_files
