Geany startup problem

[MikeLockmoore]

In TC 3.0, Geany is giving this error message now when I try to start it up:

Code: [Select]

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.
I tried updating Geany and it did not help.  The strange thing is, I was using this or a prior version of Geany with TC for several weeks on TC 3.0 without any problems.  Any ideas?

Perhaps an uncleared geany socket from a previous session? Delete it and try again.

I have looked into this and can only duplicate the problem when I have a running instance of geany open and change the ownership or perms of the file /home/tc/.config/geany/geany_socket_box__0.   Then any attempts to start another geany session, before or after closing the first one, will show that error.

had happened to me also after not having closed geany and then rebooting.
help in this forum was:

Code: [Select]

rm -f ~/.config/geany/geany_socket_box*
I am used to not close geany and now I have put

Code: [Select]

rm -f /home/tc/.config/geany/geany_socket_box*into /opt/bootlocal.sh

@Jason:  Once again, you've shared the right bit of knowledge to get me unstuck!    Thanks, greatly.

@eluring: Looks like a good idea.  I've added it to my bootlocal.sh.

Thanks so much for the post, removing that file solved the issue.

The first few times I tried geany, I learned that a resolution of 800x600 is not adequate with geany, but after increasing to 1024x768, I came across that issue.  Apparently I didn't shut geany down.  Back to work...
