kontact cannot rename tmp file
Last modified: 2010-11-15 11:56:40 UTC
Occasionally I get the error message from korganizer: ---- Could not rename partial file /var/tmp/kdecache-rplewe/slox/accounts_imap.suse.de. Please check permissions. ---- > ll /var/tmp/kdecache-rplewe/slox/accounts_imap.suse.de -rw-r--r-- 1 rplewe suse 85313 2006-03-13 15:43 /var/tmp/kdecache-rplewe/slox/accounts_imap.suse.de Even removing the file does not prevent the message from appearing. The message, however, pops up very unfrequently, I was not able to spot a correlation with e.g. the "saves" intervall.
please attach a strace on your korganizer and wait for it to happen :)
The strace output from strace -f -i -s255 -o korganizer.trace korganizer is in ~rplewe/Export/korganizer.trace. This morning I had three instances of the error window, so there should be at least some useful information in this 109MB strace file. Happy digging!
the strace doesn't show anything ;( Actually, korganizer never changes the file. So some other process must do it - but I don't know too little about slox
Status?
Slox bugs are all wontfixes now.
Unfortunately this is still an issue, seemingly for all remote calendar sources, not only for SLOX. With three remote sources (SLOX, GW, google calendar) it's a bit bothersome to come to work, unlock the screen and acknowledge a dozend of those windows. Both for korganizer and for kontact...
An example of those error windows from kontact (no SLOX source active any more): Could not rename partial file /var/tmp/kdecache-rplewe/kcal/kresources/Jb1Bv1mmi1. Please check permissions.
Actually, only kontact seems to cause this behaviour nowadays, I haven't seen this for korganizer in quite a while (since I have the Windows-reflex of just klicking 'OK' to get rid of those windows without reading them, I can't tell exactly. May be a really long time ago). Adjusted summary accordingly.
OK, today I saw such an error message for korganizer too. Several of them, in fact. So they do still happen for korganizer, but apparently not as often and regularly as with kontact.

Fix committed upstream, we'll pick this up later in the buildservice packages, and I'll add this to a pending SP1 update to kdepim.
This behaviour reappears in 10.3 beta1: Could not rename partial file /var/tmp/kdecache-rplewe/kcal/kresources/NwwqArkOhJ. Please check permissions. Those messages apparently happen for both korganizer, kontact and possibly even korgac (I had them in three "piles" on my desktop this morning).
Still an issue in beta3.
I guess I'm not going to fix this. Should be fixed by Akonadi.
