Ubuntu 18.04: Permission Denied:.ipynb_checkpoints when trying to create a new python3 notebook in jupyter

I am starting jupyter notebook from the terminal, and am not using anaconda.

When I try to create a new python3 notebook I get this error message:

I have tried the method in this linkCannot open new Jupyter notebook permission denied

However the issue still persists.

You are in the home directory while creating a new python3 file on jupyter. To avoid the error just click on any of the folders listed(documents or downloads etc) other than home, now try creating a new python file again. It will do.
