VS Codium Continue agent tool errors vanish after upgrading Ubuntu user to Administrator
nikhilb_it · reddit · 2026-09-04
A Reddit user running Continue in VS Codium with Ollama (local model) on Ubuntu 24.04 hit agent tool-use errors like failing mkdir commands, even though the same command worked in the terminal. Upgrading the user from Standard to Administrator fixed it. The author asks whether admin rights are truly required or if a safer permission setup exists — a useful pitfall note for anyone running local coding agents.
