Azure-docs: Cloud Shell, Read-only file system

[spidercloud]

When I'm opening a Cloud Shell from my Azure subscription (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx), then I get an error which says:

MOTD: To edit files in the shell, type: code, vim, emacs, vi or nano

VERBOSE: Authenticating to Azure ...
Out-File: /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/profile.ps1:143
Line |
143 | $addAzAccountParameters.Keys > $azErrorPath
| ~~~~~~~~~~~
| Read-only file system

VERBOSE: Building your Azure drive ...

What can I do to get a working Cloud Sheell to upload *.json files like templates and parameters from the $home directory.

Ok, I fix the issue on following way.
Open your local PowerShell (on your comp) as Administrator an type
Login-AzAccount
Log to your Azure account.
After that launch Azure and try Cloud shell.
Now it is fine for me, and I have uploaded 2 yml files successfully.

Hello
I have the same problem too. I have done what Vladeex says but the error stays the same. So I cannot upload templates nor run cmdlets

[Franlusan]

Cloud Shell has been working fine all these days but starting Lab 04 of AZ-104, TAsk 2 and opening Cloud Shell I got the error. I would like to fix it or I will not be able to deliver the course.

This afternoon I have opened Cloud Shell and it works!!! I have not done anything after this morning. Very strange behaviour

[Vladeexx]

Hi all,

Rule no 1. Restart your system.

Cheers

Issue is fixed by recreating the cloud shell on another region .

Running into the same problem again today. I cannot even create the cloud drive in another region. It errors out.

I ran into same issue today.

it was resolved after I removed that specific RG and created a new RG and SA

[shingy69]

Same error, tried removing all resources (trial account) and recreating at different regions same error!

I had the same issue using bash (powershell has no issues). I tried recreating the storage, it wasnt helpful.
Did the old school hack..signed out, signed in to the portal...opened the cloud shell and clicked on the restart.
Magic happened, its working. Perhaps it might help you...give a try , No harm :)

Hi!

I had the same Issue but it's working after restart. Now, I've a question for Microsoft:

• I would like to know why RESTART is always "the top solution" for your platform Issues.
