There's more than two such threads on sugar-devel@. > Is this a bug that needs fixing? Yes, it's a bug in osbuild, please fix it. You'll find the get_lock_file_path() returns a file path Add a print to find out what the file path is. You'll find the get_lock_file() returns a file. You'll see that clean() removes the file. clean() may not be executed if the builder is forced to stop. Therefore the file may remain even though there is no instance running. The error is a lie. To fix the bug, you should store the pid in the file, from os.getpid(), and check that the pid exists on the system using os.kill(pid, 0) If the pid does not exist on the system, it is safe to os.unlink() the file and continue to acquire the lock. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
