x windows setup Calibration permission denied

[bretho68]

Hi All
I’m installing the piScreen on a Pi2 usng NooBs. When running the calibration script I’m getting Permission Denied.

sudo sh -c ‘echo “sudo /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession.d/xinput_calibrator_pointercal.sh” >> /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart’: Permission denied

How do I fix this?

Cheers
Darren

the ‘permission denied’ messages happens when the double or single quotes don’t get copied across.
When you paste it in from the web page, double check all quotes are not converted to a “.”

Thanks Mark, I truly appreciate the quick response.

I entered the text manually and still get the same results.

all this command is doing is updating the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

try and do it manually
sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

add this text to the bottom

sudo /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession.d/xinput_calibrator_pointercal.sh

if forgot to add that if you are using a later image or a Pi 2, this file can be found at

/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
