what version of python you have?

[Qbrick]

2.3.5-r2

It is probably caused by the filesystem on which $HOME/desklets/modubar-0.0.1/modubar.py resides not supporting fcntl locks; here is a script to test this hypothesis.

• syntax highlighted source (html)
• source (plain text)

It isolates the file locking mechanism adesklets Python module uses that seems problematic here: if the script fails in a similar fashion than modubar.py from the $HOME/deskets/modubar-0.0.1 directory, it means this is effectively a fcntl locking problem... If its the case, try to invoke it from different places (/tmp for instance), to see if you get errors too, and let us now, Qbrick. Yours,

Your hypothesis was correct !

/home is mounted nfs, and thats the main problem here.

Problem is now solved, the kernel on the server is updated to support nfs v.3.
And this was also helpfull, on the client side.

The solution appears to be to use nfsmount to mount the nfs shares on the client, rather than netmount.

Code: Select all

 /etc/init.d/netmount stop
rc-update del netmount
rc-update add nfsmount default
/etc/init.d/nfsmount start

Many thanks for the help, or I would still be looking in the wrong direction.

You are very welcomed. Adding a [SOLVED] suffix to this thread's subject could help others too. I hope adesklets will prove useful to you. Yours,

[EDIT]
P.-S. Your cross-reference just above seems to be broken...
