Using Ubuntu 18
After some troubles, I had Juno working enough to code a bit, but only if I ran it as sudo. Fine. I remember having to delete my packages folder in .atom to get ink to install the first time. Eventually, atom will not start, so I attempt to reinstall it.
Now having to reinstall Juno is a nightmare. I get the previous error of ink not being able to install. My previous trick of deleting the packages folder to install ink does not work! I tried installing julia-client, uber-juno, ink from apm at the command line, but this also does not work. I then tried updating atom itself using apm to install atom-updater-linux. Wonderfully, this does not work as well, it appears to install an update, but after restarting it tries to update again and again endlessly.
What do I do now?
What version of Atom are you running and how did you install it? You should never need to run package installation as sudo.
Also, what is the output of apm install ink? It’s basically impossible to help you if you don’t post the error messages.
I got version 1.26.1-1
Installed using sudo apt-get install. Unable to install anything with apt-get without sudo.
Right, then please get a newer version e.g. by downloading it directly from https://atom.io/.
Installed using sudo apt-get install. Unable to install anything with apt-get without sudo.
I meant installation of Atom packages via apm install or the Atom GUI should never need sudo.
Ok just now:
Did a sudo apt-get remove atom --purge
Downloaded the .deb package from https:://atom.io
Installed it using package manager.
Still can only open as sudo. When I do it immediately tries to install ink and fails with the same error.
this is the stack trace from running sudo apm install ink
