Correcting permissions in Garuda

[Locutus64 125]

I thought I had a thread that addressed the Permission issue that can crop up in Garuda that doesn't crop up in other Arch based distros or Arch itself, but I'm not seeing anything I created and the couple by others don't seem to offer anything that's actually useful.  I just added Emby and added my TV Series library and it should of been done scanning by now, at minimum I should already have some shows with images and I don't.  Can someone please go through my debug log and let me know if their are actually any issue with permissions I need to address? Thanks

Really no response to this by now?

All of your outbound https connections are failing. Fixing that should get the scanning back on track.

Regarding Emby installation and permissions this should help with the Archisms - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Emby

Regarding the outgoing requests, this could be a tough one. Is Garuda based on some old version of arch linux? Maybe the ssl certificate store is out of date.

First thing I did but still not seeing a Emby user and I really don't under stand about adding a user.

Thanks I think this is what we are looking for. Ran across this before with Garuda and had to fix it, but not seeing the thread with the steps anywhere.

OK Thanks guys for the suggestions and help. Between wiki and the below looks like I've got it. Just rescanned TV Series library and all is as it should be. Thanks again.

The link you posted is not going to work for very long, arch is using dynamic users, you can't treat them like real users. The arch wiki describes exactly how to create a new group and _permanently_ assign it to the emby dynamic user, it has everything you need.

Might not want to post if you don't know what you're talking about. First no such instructions in the above linked wiki for actually creating the Emby user. Second how I did it is the way i was instructed in the past to do it just had to find a tutorial on it.

He is our arch linux package developer and he is just trying to help.

That's fine but the wiki only covers what needs to be done after Emby is installed and the Emby user is created by the install. It does not actually cover creating the user.

Might want to google systemd dynamic users before assaulting the people you're asking for help, then we can re-evaluate who actually doesn't know what they're talking about

The link you posted is irrelevant and your assumption that a user needs to be created just plain wrong. There is no user creation involved, actually never was in the history of the arch package, unless you wanted to run emby as a completely different user than the default `emby` user, and my guess is you don't.

[Locutus64 125]

I went by what I was told in the past that there should be a emby user created by Emby when Emby is installed. Since I couldn't find one I created one and added it to the media group.
