Hi, I am a CANARI postdoc and I cannot check out a rose suite somehow, am I doing everything correctly? [egentile@puma2 ~]$ rosie checkout u-cm655 [FAIL] svn checkout -q [https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/roses-u/c/m/6/5/5/trunk@HEAD](https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/roses-u/c/m/6/5/5/trunk@HEAD) /home/n02/n02/egentile/roses/u-cm655 # return-code=1, stderr= [FAIL] svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL ‘[https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/roses-u/c/m/6/5/5/trunk](https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/roses-u/c/m/6/5/5/trunk)’ [FAIL] svn: E215004: No more credentials or we tried too many times.

Hi Emanuele, It looks like the issue is with authentication when trying to connect to the Met Office repository. Normally, this means you haven’t authenticated with MOSRS yet. Try running: `mosrs-cache-password` It will ask for your Met Office Science Repository Service (MOSRS) username and password. `Met Office Science Repository Service password:` Once you’ve done that try again. Let me know how it goes. Bets regards, Juan ---

Hi Juan, I did try that and got [egentile@puma2 ~]$ mosrs-cache-password gpg-agent: no process found Error: gpg-agent not working Run “mosrs-cache-password” to try caching your password again [egentile@puma2 ~]$ Emanuele ---

Can you please try: `export GPG_TTY=$(tty)` `gpgconf --launch gpg-agent` `mosrs-cache-password` Best, Juan ---
