Filesystem Permission denied when saving keys

1

I have the same problem of denial of access when trying to create a local cloud. I have the spark -server configured but not let me create new credentials. I made factory to start from scratch but I get so again :

Make sure your core is in DFU mode ( blinking yellow ) , and That your computer is online .
Error - Error : Command failed: 55ff73065075555345561687_new.pem : Permission denied
3074127548 : error : 0200100D : system library : fopen : Permission denied : bss_file.c : 398: fopen ( ’ 55ff73065075555345561687_new.pem ', ’ w ’ )
3074127548 : error : 20074002 : BIO routines : FILE_CTRL : system lib: bss_file.c : 400:

Checked that is in DFU Mode does not work.

Can you help me with the steps taken in your case?

Hi @jairos,

It looks like you’re getting a file permission error when trying to save that key file. It could be that file already exists and is in use, or your user doesn’t have permission to create files, or your disk is out of space, etc, etc.

Thanks,
David

Thank.

As far as the core spark permitted me ( not working properly) was working with the web IDE performing some examples but I tried to implement the local cloud and possibly create two users (one for spark cloud and another for local cloud ) . How I can start again. I have tried to make the factory mode and leave some errors :

I try to follow this procedure found in:
http://docs.spark.io/troubleshooting/

Please complete the following steps:

Place the core in Listening Mode
In a command line window / terminal run the command keys spark identify identity to get a list of cores connected to the computer. Make note of the core id (replace core_id With This core id below)
Place the core in DFU Mode
Run the command keys spark Dr. core_id
Spark Your Core Should connect to the network (green, cyan, cyan breathing). If not feel free to contact the Spark team.

My core does not work and dedication these errors in console:

Have you tried adding a sudo before you run the keys commands?

Please, how to update the dfu -util ?. No information meeting for linux / lubuntu .

I think you need dfu-util version 0.7 or higher for Spark.

@jairos, you can try simply 0x08005000 without the :leave command instead

Not sure where your -e came from. It should be:

sudo dfu-util -d 1d50:607f -a 0 -s 0x08005000 -D core-firmware.bin

This will be correct. Is you core in DFU mode when you did that?

13

Command last was -d and -D. Blink yellow for rgb led.

14

No help me ?. As I can turn off the spark core of the cloud and local network ?. Once the above fact I can reactivate the core spark in the cloud and on the local network ?. Any input would be appreciated.Thank.

15

@jairos,

I’m not sure of what you are asking. Can you specify what help you need?

16

I’ll do a summary of this post:

  1. The core spark has not always worked properly:
    http://community.spark.io/t/solved-my-core-spark-died-rest-in-peace/9668

  2. In the post @keithblack
    http://community.spark.io/t/solved-switching-back-to-spark-cloud-submitpublickey-got-error-permission-denied/8915

a problem that was solved and I wonder how it was resolved.

3)@Dave, I think this input and @keithblack not answered my question so I continued my problem.

  1. I have been asked
    If I have the spark core to blink blue,
    if you use sudo before each instruction
    I have some instructions that in the next post will detail entry.

@bko I recommend updating the DFU-UTIL but I could not follow this recommendation. The system does not update.

Working with PC
Ubuntu 14.04,
NodeJS v0.10.33,
Spark v1.0.0
dfu-util v0.5

  1. The original entrance was as follows:
    “I have the same problem of denial of access When trying to create a local cloud I have the spark -server configured but not let me create new credentials I made factory to start from scratch but I get so again:…”

This is the question that I repeat. what credentials do now is remove the cloud and on the local cloud to try to make firmware updates. Can you help me with these steps ?. Thank you for your attention because I’m almost to abandon the project with the core spark.

17

I have tried to make the factory mode and leave some errors:

Hi @jairos,

You can also get the latest version of dfu-util here - http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/ . This process won’t work with dfu-util 0.5, please make sure you’re using a more recent version.

It seems the world linux is from another universe . For me, not working

Please, no choice ?. I tried with
1) Package Installer Gdebi
2) Synaptic Manager packages .

They find repositories .

3) With Git

$ Sudo git clone git: //git.code.sf.net/p/dfu-util/dfu-util dfu -util - dfu -util

Download packets but does not update

4) Download dfu -util package

https://s3.amazonaws.com/spark-assets/dfu-util-0.8-binaries.tar.xz

How do I install it ?

Thank you for your help.
