Unfortunately I'm still getting: "bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list: Permission denied"

Try "sudo" before the command that failed. I think it will become: "export DISTRO="bullseye" && sudo curl https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg > /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg && sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list && sudo apt update"

  This is what my terminal shows: sudo curl https://repo.waydro.id/waydroig.gpg https://repo.waydro.id/waydroig.gpg > /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list && \ > echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list && \ > sudo apt update bash: /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg: Permission denied

    You are not pasting the command I typed. Look with attention.

      sorry, I'm just not getting it. After typing: export DISTRO="bullseye" I do the sudo curl....waydroing.gpg and it gives me the permission denied thing. I also tried with "focal" and yielded the same result. Maybe I'll leave the project for now until I get a better grasp of the terminal.

        Try one command at a time: export DISTRO="focal" sudo curl https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg > /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list sudo apt update

        Try this command (sudo is needed only for writing files): DISTRO="focal" sudo curl https://repo.waydro.id/waydroid.gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/waydroid.gpg] https://repo.waydro.id/ $DISTRO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waydroid.list sudo apt update sudo apt install waydroid

        this worked for me, thank you very much potyl!
        hereme888 5y ago
        Oh it almost worked! I got as far as the apt install waydroid this time. However, it gave me this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-gbinder : Depends: python3 (< 3.9) but 3.9.4-1 is to be installed How do I downgrade python?

        When invoking `sudo`, you're escalating privileges on the command followed but that doesn't apply to the redirection of output (`>`). So it's saying permission denied to write to the files. You'll need to do something like `curl | sudo tee /path/to/file`. Same with `echo`.

  That command won't work because the lrrmjddkkn problem stems from the redirection to a file. Running curl as root doesn't elevate the shell and therefore won't give you write access to /usr/share. I don't understand why developers don't just use the output flag of curl instead of using file redirections like this. sudo curl -o [...] would've prevented all of that, instead of relying on someone being logged in as root (which is a terrible security practice I thought we as Linux users have been over already). I have to replace I/O redirections with sudo tee way too often, and it's impossible for any Linux beginner to understand what's going on here.
