Resolving RStudio Permission Denied Error GXP.

Issue. 

The error occurs due to insufficient permissions while trying to copy files or access directories within the RStudio session files. The common error message displayed is 'Permission denied' for various files or directories within the user's .local/share/rstudio directory.

Steps to Resolve

1. Check File Permissions:

1.    - Run the command `ls -l /home/pjuszcz1/.local/share/rstudio/sessions/active` to check the file and directory permissions.
2.    - Ensure that the user has read, write, and execute permissions for the relevant files and directories.

2. Update File Ownership:

1.    - If the ownership of the files is incorrect, use the following command to update it:      `sudo chown -R pjuszcz1:pjuszcz1 /home/pjuszcz1/.local/share/rstudio`

3. Adjust Permissions:

1.    - Update the permissions of the directory to allow the user to access the files:      `chmod -R u+rwX /home/pjuszcz1/.local/share/rstudio`

4. Clear Temporary Files:

1.    - If the issue persists, clear the temporary session files by removing the active session folder:      `rm -rf /home/pjuszcz1/.local/share/rstudio/sessions/active`

5. Restart RStudio:

1.    - After making the above changes, restart RStudio to apply the fixes.

Additional Notes

If the problem continues after performing the above steps, consider the following:

 - Check for system-level restrictions such as SELinux or AppArmor, which might be blocking access.

 - Consult your system administrator for further assistance if you do not have sufficient privileges to modify the permissions.
