Hi What you did seem correct. However the following
$ ls -ld/home/a/.sage drwx------ 7 root root 4096 jan 26 19:54/home/a/.sage
is very wrong. The root (the super user on your computer) owns the repository /home/a/.sage. But it should just be the user "a". Just delete this repository via $ sudo rm -rf /home/a/.sage/ Then try launching Sage again (and never use sudo for that purpose).
