Using Drush permissions issue
ubuntu;drupal
If it is a multi-site installation, then Drush needs to know to which site (one of the multi-sites supported by the Drupal instance) the Drush command is to be applied.Therefor make sure to FIRST navigate to the subfolder sites. Try to run the same Drush command(s). I believe it will then assume you want the sites/all subfolder to be updated. If you still have the same issue, then try to navigate to the sites subfolder default (or any other subfolder corresponding to any of the other sites related to this multi-sites setup, and try again.
