Kivy Buildozer Permission Denied on ./distribute.sh -1

Question

Ok so first before anything let me show the error

# Android packages installation done.
# Check application requirements
# Run './distribute.sh -l'
# Cwd /media/jonathon/Data Volume/Python Projects/Kivy Tutorial/.buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android
/bin/sh: 1: ./distribute.sh: Permission denied
# Command failed: ./distribute.sh -l

The command I am running is sudo buildozer android debug so I know I am running sudo and have root permissions.

Answer 1

Based on the file path in your error, you may be using a shared drive or remote file system. These can cause problems with permissions when buildozer tries to run and compile things. Try deleting ~/.buildozer, the .buildozer dir in your project, then moving the files to a local hard drive and running buildozer without sudo.
