I cannot get Geany working on Tiny Core 3.0.
The icon appears in the bar, but if I try to launch Geany from the icon or in a terminal, all I get is a dialog box that says:
"Geany tried to access the Unix Domain socket of
another instance running as another user.
This is a fatal error and Geany will now quit."
Any ideas what might be happening ?
Thanks,
Paul

Geany works here and a socket for each user is created in /tmp when I open multiple instances as both tc and root. I can't reproduce the socket error.

Hmm, still not working here. Chromium, RapidSVN and others are working fine.
I've tried deleting the extension and loading it again.
-
Even if I change the ownership of the socket file in the middle of a session and then launch another instance of geany it still works by creating another socket. I do remember seeing that error one time before, but I don't remember in which exact circumstance it was.
When I change the ownership of /tmp to root:root and disable writing by anyone other than root, launching geany as user tc still creates a /tmp socket file but the ownership of it is root and geany still works.
I wish I could reproduce it.

Ok, after a bit of looking around the directory tree I found /home/tc/.config/geany/geany_socket_box__0 which is listed as a link to /tmp/geany_socket.3f20f400 and was owned by root:staff.
Since /tmp/geany_socket.3f20f400 didn't exist, I simply deleted using "sudo rm /home/tc/.config/geany/geany_socket_box__0" and now Geany works.
Really odd.

It might have been previously opened with sudo.
