Fail to move when using non-EN locale

[SamuNatsu]

Lines here only works on English locales:

installer/scripts/install.sh.tmpl

Line 170 in 746f746

if [[ $OUT =~ "Permission denied" ]]; then

If the user uses other locales (e.g. Chinese), there's no Permission denied string in the output, instead a 权限不够.

So maybe we should try other methods to check whether move fails by permission denied.

Maybe we can use strace mv $FROM $TO 2>&1 | grep 'EPERM\|EACCES' to check whether move failed by operation not permitted or permission denied, instead of just checking the output string.

strace available everywhere? Might need to progressively enhance

Not really, for some other distributions it should be installed manually.

Another solution is to use ‘ls‘ and username to check whether user is the owner of target folder. Naive but less dependencies.
