[SOLVED] Unix Domain socket of another instance
« on: August 22, 2010, 10:35:35 AM »
Trying to start geany I got the following error message:
Quote
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.
Short question: What can I do to get geany back?
Thanks in advance.

I had also recently.

Fix it with : rm ~/.config/geany/geany_socket_box*
