[SOLVED] pmgconfig - could not change directory - Permission denied

[KatyComputer]

When running pmgconfig from /root, I am getting an error message. If I run from /, all is well.

What am I doing wrong?

root@stl-mx:~# cd / ; pmgconfig sync
root@stl-mx:/# cd /root ; pmgconfig sync

Nothing

some commands run while executing pveconfig sync do not run as root - and that's the origin of the warning-message:
Those programs cannot access the working directory if it's /root (because they don't have the permission)

This should not affect the working of pveconfig sync

I hope this helps!

Yes, thank you. BTW: It might be good to add a "Resolved" plugin to Proxmox's Xenforo install, the manual approach is unlikely to be used by most community members.
