Loosing Configuration on every C::B restart/exit
« on: January 14, 2007, 03:38:19 am »
 Platform :/FreeBSD 6.1 Release
WX Version:/WXGTK-2.6-unicode
CB::Version:/3481


On "exec codeblocks" i get popup window containing "Deleted stale lock file '/tmp/Code::Blocks-Seraphim'."
Code Blocks runs succesfully and everything looks fine till i exit the application as after i restart it i get the above message and every configuration is reseted to default

I checked the above file permissions and tryed to chmod it from 600 to 666 but after that Code::Blocks does not start as it claims that another instance of CB is running already (although there is no cb process running)

I guess permissions were not the problem?

Any suggestion of what is going on ?
It is really annoying to have to set up everything from the beggining

Thx in advance...

It seems Code::Blocks is silently crashing, or hanging, just before it saves your settings (that explains that popup too).

Code::Blocks should save a crash report file (codeblocks.rpt), but I don't know where it's saved in *nix systems. I would expect it to be saved in ~/.codeblocks, but once again: I don't know. I'm not even sure if it's saved in *nix systems :P

I've had that kind of problems when running it on Linux, but I haven't used it long enough there to even try to find the cause and a good way to reproduce it.

Could you try running it through gdb and post a backtrace if you find anything?

The .rpt file is only generated on windows.
For other platforms, run codeblocks inside gdb and read the backtrace...
Be patient!
This bug will be fixed soon...
