Please help!!
Have you tried anything? Seems like a python error, not a ROS related one. Does this help?
Simple but not the best fix would be to run as root user and I am pretty sure you won't see that error. But again, that is not the best solution but a quick one. This is definitely not a ROS related problem. Is there a possibility that you created a python file via sudo or being as a root user?
@EdwardNur: I converted your post to a comment as it's not an answer. Running as "root user" is almost never a/the answer.
It's likely the OP actually did run
roscoreas root at some point and now doesn't, causing$HOME/.rosto have permissions that don't allow thelucifermintuuser to .... create files there.
@Abhishek_mishra: please show us the output of
ls -al /home/lucifermintu/.ros.@gvdhoorn ok
