Unable to add Path

Help & Support
#1

Version: 2.0.0.5344
Mono Version: 4.6.2
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Logs:
NzbDroneErrorPipeline Invalid request Validation failed: – Folder is not writable by user root 1:50pm

Description of issue:

Due to a system crash I had to reinstall complete HTPC and moved to Ubuntu ver18. Under previous version Sonarr, SABnzbd and Plex were all running smoothly.
I am even newer than a noob to Ubuntu and now cannot setup Sonarr to see my mounted drives to be able to add the path. Been Googling for a week now and cannot solve the problem.
My basic understanding is pointing me to a permissions problem but need some basic help to resolve please.

#2

I’m also having problems trying to add a root folder that was used prior to a week ago. For some reason now, it is unavailable. When I try to add it again, the directory doesn’t show up in the explorer window at all.

#3

Are you using docker? Otherwise root should always have access.

#4

I don’t believe I am but how would I check?

#5

Start with, how did you install Sonarr?

#6

I installed via Ubuntu Software installer

#7

Then no, it doesn’t sound like you’re running under docker.

The only thing that comes to mind is making sure the drives were mounted with read/write access, not just read access (I’m not sure how to verify that offhand).

#8

checked and all show as rw
