I' having issues with using Yeoman with Angular. It was working fine until I used
grunt serve
To start a server for the project I was creating.
However, "grunt serve" returned
Error: Unable to create git_template directory: Arguments to path.resolve must be strings
and then it gave me
Warning: EROFS, read-only file system 'app/index.html' Use --force to continue
I then used
grunt serve --force
to solve this issue, and then it hit me.
My entire local file had become Read-only.
I tried "yo doctor" (that is the Yeoman way to find issues) and that does not even work anymore. It gave me this error:
colin@Studio-XPS-1640:~/Desktop/ang-news$ yo doctor
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/configstore.js:66
throw err;

I tried using chod and chown, but to no avail. Here's an example of what I tried
sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/lib/ -R -w
I think all I did was mess up permissions, and now I cannot even use Yeoman any longer because all of those files are read-only.
EDIT
Turns out that my entire system is read-only. How do I solve that? I tried to pull some content via the cmd, and it gave me
"OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/home/colin/startup-001'"
