This behavior likely stems from installing Klipper under the wrong Linux user or even under root. Ensure that all installation tasks are performed under the user who will run Klipper later.

Klipper should be installed and run under a regular Linux user who has sudo privileges. Typically, every modern Linux distribution requires creating one during installation.

For more detailed information on the Linux user concept and management, you should refer to one of the countless guides available online that cover this topic. As previously stated, usually there is not much to do except set up Linux and use the user account that came pre-configured or that you defined during the final installation steps.

Under no circumstances should Klipper be installed as root, or any file permissions modified to 7777.

Have you ever used KIAUH to get Klipper onto the Ubuntu machine?
