Hi @adamc1999
Sorry to hear you’re having some trouble with your Mark 1.
Another user had trouble with .git/config being locked and they found that it was because they’d used sudo for a previous apt-get upgrade causing some files to be owned by root. The original thread is here
Could you have a look at the output of find /opt/mycroft/skills -group root?
This will list any files within the skills directory that are owned by a member of the root user group. Ideally it shouldn’t list anything.
