This is a duplicate report of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357385 which is marked as "resolved" which is not the case for the latest ubuntu 16.04 64bit on my computer. Before the upgrade all worked fine. now I get this error: Writing file "..." resulted in an error: The lock file can't be created. The vocabulary collection is locked by another process. You can open the file if you take over the lock, but you will lose any changes from the other process. Do you want to take over the lock? Version 2.1.0 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.18.0 Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1) The xcb windowing system Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open parley 2. get message "Writing file "..." resulted in an error: The lock file can't be created." 3. Actual Results: parley can't save any lock or any data Expected Results: parley can save lock files and data
QFile::copy: Empty or null file name "Cannot lock file " Save failed trying save as for "/home/..../parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml" QFile::copy: Empty or null file name "Cannot lock file " Save failed trying save as for "/home/..../parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml" QFile::copy: Empty or null file name "Cannot lock file " Save failed trying save as for "/home/..../parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml" Clear summary widget Set invalid document Clear summary widget QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver
as a temporary work around: when trying to save the file and getting the message Writing file "/home/...../parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml" resulted in an error: The lock file can't be created. the "Save as" dialogue window opens and I choose the same file name. whne asked "parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I say yes. then a warming window pops up: The file /home/......./parley-en-es-0.4.2.kvtml already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? I say yes. File is saved. However the automatic backup and the save on exit and quit needs to be disabled. I hope this can be fixed soon
Moin, I can confirm this bug. CU Sven
bug continues in version 4:16.04.0-0u amd64
Created attachment 99657 [details] next version up
Ubuntu 16.04 still comes with KDE Applications 15.12. But this bug is fixed in KDE Applications 16.04. I'm affraid that you still have to wait until Unbuntu updates to KDE Applications 16.04 or you have to compile libkeduvocdocument and parley using the latest sources from the git repository.
Thank you for this comment. I will wait until Unbuntu upgrades :)
