When I use bitbake PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/dev' error occurs

I've changed the ownership of the /usr/lib/python3.8 file from root to <myname> but did not solved the problem. Here is the whole error:

Hello @Gencay​ ,

Please can you send me the command line that you are trying to use?

On which Operating System are you? Can you make a "lsb_release -a" and send me the result.

Regards,

Kevin

My problem was misconfigurations of my download, sstate-cache and tmp directories at the local.conf file.
