Bug: Can only run drracket with sudo on Arch Linux

[joshpetit]

Hey! Thank you for the continued development of this project! We're using racket for my cs230 class.

So I'm trying to run drracket on arch linux, but when I run the file I receive this error:

Error

But when I run drracket with elevated permissions, sudo drracket

it starts up and runs as normal. I got drracket through the racket package for arch linux here. I also tried and used the downloadable installer here and it gave me the same permissions error (I'm assuming that's because I opted to install it globally, it's been a few days since I tested it that way though).

It would be nice not to have to run as root to run drract (from a convenience and security standpoint). I tested the racket package on ubuntu and it worked perfectly, so I'm assuming it something that can be fixed on arch linux as well.

[jestarray]

I use Arch and latest version of DrRacket(from official arch repos) and I have no problems running as non-root so it must be just something wrong with how you set up user permissions in arch.

I would make sure your user is setup correctly, unsure if this command will fix it but I'm guessing your non-root user doesnt have permissions or something:

useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash NAMEHERE

Yep, that’s definitely a problem!

What happens if you try removing your preferences files, and then try starting again? Let me know if you have trouble finding those preferences files.

[rfindler]

This error looks to me like DrRacket is somehow seeing multiple copies of the packages being installed. I'm not sure how that could come to pass but that would result in errors like the above.

Root may be a red herring; it may be something about your user's environment that, when you run as root, lets DrRacket see only one set of the collections (ie one set of the packages).

Tried this and it won't work since it says I already have that user name, useradd: user 'joshu' already exists

Yep, that’s definitely a problem! What happens if you try removing your preferences files, and then try starting again? Let me know if you have trouble finding those preferences files. John Clements

Could I get some help with the preferences you're referring to @jbclements , thanks!

This error looks to me like DrRacket is somehow seeing multiple copies of the packages being installed. I'm not sure how that could come to pass but that would result in errors like the above.

Root may be a red herring; it may be something about your user's environment that, when you run as root, lets DrRacket see only one set of the collections (ie one set of the packages).

@rfindler I'm not positive if I follow on what you're saying, but I do notice that I have a .local/share/racket/8.2/pkgs and a /usr/share/racket/pkgs. This may be because of when I installed racket via the install script however, and I couldn't launch drracket beforehand anyways.

Thanks for the speedy responses everyone! I'd assume it is something with my user environment, I'm just not sure what could be the problem though.

What does "raco pkg show -a" report?

Hi, I'm sorry for the long delay here @joshpetit. It looks like maybe a good thing to try is to throw away your user-scope directory. I'm not sure how you got into this mess, though. I think that running this program:

#lang racket/base
(require setup/dirs)
(simplify-path (build-path (find-user-pkgs-dir) 'up))

should print out the directory to throw away. Its name should end with development.

See if that helps?

Hey guys! I ended up just using racket on the cli since it integrates better with my tools (vim ftw haha). I did what you mentioned @rfindler and it actually fixed drracket! I'm not going to be using it anyhow, but I tested it in case anyone else ever has that problem.

FYI The directory that was printed out was:

#<path:/home/joshu/.local/share/racket/8.2/>

Thanks a lot!

That's great to hear! Something went wrong somehow in your installation process (which is what resulted in you having everything installed twice). Guess that's the root cause of the problem.
