Python multiprocessing: Permission denied

by

For POSIX semaphores to work, the users need r/w access to shared memory (/dev/shm).

Check the permissions to /dev/shm. On my laptop (Ubuntu) it looks like this:

$ ls -ld /dev/shm
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root          40 2010-01-05 20:34 shm

To permanently set the correct permissions (even after a reboot), add the following to your /etc/fstab:

none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0

Haven’t tried this, just copied from a forum post.
