title: bash: cd: /home/user/.conda/pkgs: No such file or directory
body: <p>I have had <strong>the loader problem</strong> with my <strong>conda</strong> similar to this post:</p>
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56935698/attributeerror-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute-loader">AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'loader'</a></p>
  <p>So when can not solve it i have decides to <strong>reinstall</strong> <strong>conda</strong> by These command :</p>
  <pre><code>conda install anaconda-clean
  anaconda-clean --yes
  wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh
  sudo bash Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh
  </code></pre>
  <p>So based of <a href="https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9876" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> post my <strong>Conda</strong> information is :</p>

  <p>but when i tried to install the Jupyter <a href="https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/installation.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">by <code>conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab</code> command</a> i get this error:</p>
  <pre><code>(base) so@so-Lenovo-ideapad-310-15IKB:~/Downloads$  conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
  
  Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed
  
  NotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to a required path.
   path: /home/so/.conda/pkgs/urls.txt
   uid: 1000
   gid: 1000
  
  If you feel that permissions on this path are set incorrectly, you can manually
  change them by executing
  
   $ sudo chown 1000:1000 /home/so/.conda/pkgs/urls.txt
  
  In general, it's not advisable to use 'sudo conda'.
  
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>And i have understand the <strong>/home/so/.conda/pkgs</strong> folder is not exist as you can see below:</p>
  <pre><code>(base) so@so-Lenovo-ideapad-310-15IKB:~$ cd /home/so/.conda/pkgs
  bash: cd: /home/so/.conda/pkgs: No such file or directory
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>So what do you suggest to solve this problem?</p>
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  <p>I have <strong>found solution</strong> and write it as <strong>answer</strong> to this question for other usage, But I <strong>don't know</strong> why by <strong>removing the</strong> 'username:` part of the above command , like said <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/588497/sudo-conda-command-not-found">here</a> and shown below, it was not working?</p>
  <pre><code>(base) so@so-Lenovo-ideapad-310-15IKB:~$ sudo chmod -R +x /home/so/anaconda3
  (base) so@so-Lenovo-ideapad-310-15IKB:~$ sudo chmod -R +x /home/so/.conda
  (base) so@so-Lenovo-ideapad-310-15IKB:~$ conda update --all
