Error Creating Jupyter Notebook

[Bazman]

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 and conda 4.5.8 jupyter 4.4.0.

After installing Anaconda and running "jupyter notebook", the browser does open a new tab.

However when I tried to create a new notebook, I got the following error:

"An error occurred while creating a new notebook".

The error message is "Permission denied: Untitled1.ipynb".

Followings are the error messages occurred in the backend.

How can I fix this?

Did you start the notebook from directory where you have write access?
