Petalinuxv2018.3 installation Error

[noelpedro]

Hi all,

I got the error below after installing Petalinux 18.3. on Ubuntu 16.0 platform. Has anyone stumbled upon this problem? 

Note: I also got similar error when attempting to install v2018.2. Also note, I have full disk encryption, Im not sure if that creates conflicts with Yocto SDK.

Please input "y" to continue to install PetaLinux in that directory?[n]y

SOLVED: The reason I was receiving this error was because I had an encrypted file system mainly my home directory. I solved this issue by chaining the absolute path of the install folder to an arbitrary directory outside of home.

IE:

Initially I had: $: ./petalinux.run ~/opt/pkg

solution: $:./petalinux.run /work/pkg/petalinux_v
