I installed rclone on my UBUNTU system and I am trying to run rclone config and get:
cannot perform readlinkat() on the mount namespace file descriptor of the init process: Permission denied
I installed rclone on my UBUNTU system and I am trying to run rclone config and get:

What is the ownership and permission of the config file?
Thanks, where is the config file? to look for “the config file”
~/.rclone.conf usually.
No there is no ~/.rclone.conf file
Normally the config file is in your home directory as a file called .config/rclone/rclone.conf (or .rclone.conf if created with an older version). If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set it will be at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/rclone.conf
Hi,
No there is no .config subdirectory at the account that I am using.
I did installed clone with snap (installed snap first) following the web instructions (I am running UBUNTU), and there I had the problem. So I did a snap remover clone, and then installed rclone following the LINUX instructions, coping the rclone file to the /usr/bin now rclone is running and I was able to run the rclone config
So there is something funny with the installation in snap.
Thank you
