jelbear 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Evening I'm am absolute noobie to Linux, but I've installed the latest version of Ubuntu server 14.04, and done a few setup tasks. But would now really like to install emby and start moving my media across to my new server. I know this must be down to me being thick but I can't seem to get the install script to work, I get to the 3rd line of the Ubuntu install instructions from the website and I then get a permission denied error sudo echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apps-z/mediabrowser/ubuntu trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediabrowser.list -bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediabrowser.list: Permission denied could somebody help me out with what I'm doing wrong cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomt92 0 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) The directions are unclear, i had the same issue. They assume that you are using the superuser account, or root account to perform the commands. Try: su <your password> This should sign you in as the superuser for Ubuntu. If it doesn't you may have to enable the root password: sudo passwd root sudo passwd -u root Once you are using the terminal as the superuser execute all the commands as listed in the directions.. with one change. Make sure that after you run the echo commands you run; apt-get update The run your installs. Also please be aware that you need to make sure all your media has read/write access by the Emby user which is mediabrowser. I did the following on all my media directories sudo chown <Your User Name>:mediabrowser -R /path/to/media sudo chmod 775 -R /path/to/media the above give your user account ownership of the directory and the mediabrowser group access as well. If you want you can change the permissions to 770 instead of 775 for extra security. Edited May 10, 2015 by tomt92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalonerhgan 0 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) No offense but I would not really call that much of a step by step guide, for a novice to Ubuntu and Emby. Anything with greater detail, maybe some screen snap shots, that does not makes assumptions on steps would be much appreciated. I keep running into install errors which I think are dealing with permission issues. Would also be willing to donate.
