Linux - How to use a different drive as siril-home

Software Siril

Hi,

When trying to select a directory mounted under /media this possibility is not showing up when trying to select a home directory for siril (i want to use a seconds disk as ‘scratch’). I’m using Linux mint 21.1.

I uploaded the output of ‘df’ and the output of an ‘ls’ command

df
df1064×469 66 KB

I also uploaded the ‘disks’ view.

Disks_001
Disks_001900×600 57.6 KB

Are there restriction in Siril when it comes to selection of locations that can be used as home directory? I’m using siril-1.2.0-beta2

Thanks in advance,
Bart

Hi,

If you’re running Siril from a flatpak, you need to give it some more permissions; for that you can use Flatseal Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux

Hi

If I correctly remember it was installed as a flatpak. I will check your suggestion.

Regards

edit: tried your suggestion and now I’m able to do what I intended to do. Thanks!

I think you have the PPA for linux Mint, you should use that instead:
