Description Kevin Coonan 2024-03-22 20:51:20 UTC 
User cannot launch Spyder IDE, but can be launched as root.

Permissions on multiple directories under /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ are 700 and should be 755.

Can find these easily: 

find /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ -type d ! -perm 755 -printf '%h\t %p\t %M\n'

and if fixed  (e.g. run as root):
find /usr/lib/python3.find /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ -type d ! -perm 755 -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Spyder will launch properly as a user.

This has been a problem with other Python software in the past (e.g.. PGAdmin4).

Do you know which directories doesn't have the correct permissions?

I've tested with the latest tumbleweed container, just installing the spyder package and every directory have the right permission.

You have reported a similar thing about a year ago and never came back with further information: boo#1210375


Cannot reproduce.

I presume this is a problem of your setup and the result of an out-of-band install into system namespace.
