Hi all,
I’v just completed the installation of HA Core on a Mini PC with Debian 12.
I wanted to start to edit the file YAML utilizing the standard text editor but when I try to save it I get a the error message Access Denied.
May I kindly ask support here?
Thank you so much!
What standard text editor?
I have the same issue here on an old install. Updated to file editor 5.7.0 and suddenly I have an ‘access denied’ message when trying to access configuration.yaml
I have admin access, so this shouldn’t happen.
I use HAOS, so maybe it is the HA Core that is the cause.
I think there were a change to the config library in one of the recent updates and I can see that mine now is called homeassistant instead and the config library is just a symlink to this.
If the permissions are set wrongly on the symlink, then that might be the cause.
FIXED
Thanks Wally, I uninstalled file editor, reinstalled and it gave me the same message for configuration.yaml. Then I clicked on the folder (top-left) icon and chose to open a non-sensitive file: HA_VERSION, and that is what did it for me. Fixed permissions with other files x
Opening .HA_VERSION solved the problem. Thanks for sharing.
