Do not run ChimeraX as root. The clue is the "BUG: NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/do/not/run/as/root/.config/ChimeraX'". I'll work on a better error message. -- Greg On 12/21/23 11:31, Wen via ChimeraX-users wrote:
Dear Elaine, I tried to install ChimeraX 1.7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3. yum install mesa-libOSMesa-21.3.4-2.el9.x86_64.rpm yum install ucsf-chimerax-1.7-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
Everything went well. However, when I tried to launch ChimeraX, I met the following errors: [wenliu@localhost Downloads]# chimerax QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/800' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 800 GID 800 QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/800' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 800 GID 800 NOTE: available bundle cache has not been initialized yet NOTE: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/__main__.py", line 1069, in <module> exit_code = init(sys.argv) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/__main__.py", line 664, in init toolshed.init(sess.logger, debug=sess.debug, File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/toolshed/__init__.py", line 1389, in init _toolshed = Toolshed(*args, **kw) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/toolshed/__init__.py", line 396, in __init__ settings.toolshed_last_check = now.isoformat() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/settings.py", line 199, in __setattr__ ConfigFile.__setattr__(self, name, value) File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/configfile.py", line 386, in __setattr__ ConfigFile.save(self) File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/configfile.py", line 335, in save with SaveTextFile(self._filename) as f: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/safesave.py", line 191, in __init__ SaveFile.__init__(self, filename, open=open_text, critical=critical) File "/usr/libexec/UCSF-ChimeraX/lib/python3.11/site- packages/chimerax/core/safesave.py", line 80, in __init__ raise OSError(errno.ENOTDIR, os.strerror(errno.ENOTDIR), save_dir) NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/do/not/run/as/root/.config/ChimeraX'

ChimeraX did not launch. Could you advise me on how to proceed? Thanks in advance. Wen Liu @ UCHC
