[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 513945] Re: tomboy: error saving note data

[Andreas Jonsson]

The bug has reappeard after some time of absense. I attach the complete
error log, although it doesn't appear to contain any new information
compared to what I included in my original post.

I will soon upgrade to Lucid Lynx, and I am hoping these problems will
disappear after upgrade (I will do a clean install and import my old
notes). I will post again if similar problems occur.

Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

I'm running up-to-date Ubuntu Karmic. This bug started occurring a few days ago.

Whenever I create a new or open an old note in tomboy, a pop-up error message warns:

"Error saving note data. An error occurred while saving your notes. Please check that you have sufficient disk space...". See attached screenshot.

I have plenty of free disk space so that shouldn't be a problem. A new error message pops up every minute or so, essentially making tomboy impossible to use.

I have noticed in ~/.local/share/tomboy that notes are stored in a format typically looking like this:

f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note

but the note currently open (and causing the problem described above) will only have two two backup versions, one ending with "~" and on ending with ".tmp", e.g.

f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note~
f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note.tmp

Over the past several days a few notes have been lost, simply disappeared from my system.

Tomboy panel log (.config/tomboy/tomboy-panel.log) reports

[ERROR]: Exception while saving note: System.IO.IOException: Sharing violation on path /home/user/.local/share/tomboy/a3e6005a-3897-43c6-a217-92781d572707.note
