[Linux] Error while removing or creating the Azure Dev Spaces Controller about dev-spaces HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @ferantivero! Running azds with sudo shouldn't be necessary.

1. Where is the azds binary located on your machine? Is it in a protected folder?
2. Do you have access the the /tmp folder on your machine? That's where azds writes logs. If so, can you try sharing some example logfiles?
3. Can you run azds --version and report back what version of azds you're using?

Thanks!

Hey @DrEsteban

I think I might have found one of the folders that could be causing this issue in my environment. It looks like write access to .azds could be required for some commands:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 24 19:56 .azds

Not so sure how during the installation process .azds ended up being owned by root. Please note that az-cli is also own by root in my environment and maybe during az aks use-dev-space is the moment in which this folder gets created for the first time. Also, full answers below:

1. Where is the azds binary located on your machine? Is it in a protected folder?

/home/parallels/lib/azds-cli

drwxr-xr-x  4 root      root      20480 Jan 21 10:40 azds-cli

2. Do you have access the the /tmp folder on your machine? That's where azds writes logs. If so, can you try sharing some example logfiles?

a. /tmp: I do not own the folder but yes, I do have access (rwt)
b. /tmp/Azure Dev Spaces/: I am the owner, and also I have access in there (rwx)

$ cat /tmp/Azure\ Dev\ Spaces/azds-cli-2019-01-29-13-45-50-1486.txt

3. Can you run azds --version and report back what version of azds you're using?

Azure Dev Spaces CLI (Preview)
0.1.20190116.6

please note that executing azds --version do not require sudo and it does write /tmp/Azure Dev Spaces folder as shared above.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Others: virtualized over Parallels

Please feel free to close this issue if your consider this is strictly related to my environment setup.
