I have two users on my computer. If one user logs in, then logs out and the other user logs in after that, mintUpdate fails to start. I first noticed this when I saw only one icon in the notification area. That got me thinking: "Hmm, there's Dropbox, but shouldn't there be something else also... Ah, the padlock!"
When I try to start mintUpdate from the terminal, I get this:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mintUpdate.py", line 1206, in <module>
log = open(logFile, "w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Lupa evätty: '/tmp/mintUpdate/0_23628.log'
/tmp/mintUpdate has the following permissions:
Code: Select all
drwxr-xr-x 2 muut muut 4096 2009-11-17 11:47 mintUpdate
Additional info:
- Kernel 2.6.28-15-generic i686 (32 bit) Distro Linux Mint 7 Gloria - KDE Community Edition
- mintUpdate version: 3.7.9.1
I've fixed this problem temporarily with either chown or by removing the mintUpdate folder. A reboot should also clear /tmp folder. But these are just workarounds, not real fixes.
Other than this, Mint's been working quite well!
