I have the following error appear when I try to start the sage notebook.  I am hoping to get a copy of the files in my sagen oebook

I am runing the SAGE live usb, latest

1. /opt/sagemath/sage-6.5-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sagenb-0.11.4-py2.7.egg/sagenb/storage/filesystem_storage.pyc in _user_path(self, username)
2. 119
3. 120 #Move the directory to the __store__ directory
4. --> 121 os.rename(path, new_path)
5. 122
6. 123 #new_path now points to the actual directory
7.  
8. OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory

 

That's an error I haven't seen before, especially since it's supposed to BE a directory.  Where are you running Sage from as a command?

If you want to see where your actual notebook files live, you can look in (typically)

HOME/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/admin/

(in general it would be in DOT_SAGE which you may have set differently).

Do you know what this rename() command is supposed to accomplish?

The manpage of rename(2) says

oldpath can specify a directory. In this case, newpath must either not
exist, or it must specify an empty directory.

Upon booting my persistance home directory from SAGE live usb, I opened up a terminal and entered 'sage'    When SAGE loaded, I entered 'notebook()'

I usually just double click the SAGE notebook to open up the notebook interface, but it was simply not working that way.   I thought I should run from a terminal to try to capture an error message.


Thanks for the help!!!

Actually,  maybe I am misunderstanding something...

I get this when I try to retrieve my notebook files:

user@debian:~$ cd /.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/admin/
bash: cd: /.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/admin/: No such file or directory

[kcrisman]

Try doing "sage -sh", or starting sage however you usually would but with " -sh" appended.  Then do 

echo DOT_SAGE

e.g.

$ sage -sh

Starting subshell with Sage environment variables set.  Don't forget

to exit when you are done.  Beware:

 * Do not do anything with other copies of Sage on your system.

 * Do not use this for installing Sage packages using "sage -i" or for

   running "make" at Sage's root directory.  These should be done

   outside the Sage shell.

Bypassing shell configuration files...

Note: SAGE_ROOT=/Users/.../sage-6.5

$ echo $DOT_SAGE

/Users/.../.sage/

No, and I don't have time to investigate it now.  But my guess is that either it's an issue where there is something with respect to the USB not having a directory it should, or maybe something happened to already be named this for some reason.

Don't include the "/" at the beginning: cd .sage/sage_notebook/.... (or follow kcrisman's suggestion regarding "sage -sh" to get the complete path).

Sadly I still cannot retrieve the notebook files:

The admin folder is not a directory!

In the interest of (your) time and efficiency, I will revert to a backup.  Thank you for your suggestions!
