Greg Lepore <g...@rhobard.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |g...@rhobard.com --- Comment #2 from Greg Lepore <g...@rhobard.com> --- I saw a recent comment on a forum that indicated this was because there was an existing process of kate running, so when you try to open it via double-clicking on a text file or from the command line, kate doesn't open because it is already running. Check for a running kate (ps aux | grep kate) when it refuses to open. Force closing that running instance (killall kate) should allow you to run kate by command line again. The forum report indicated that this was due to closing kate via the corner x and not via File->Quit, which supposedly avoids the issue. The bug is also reported fixed, but I just encountered it, thus the Googling! On a related note, kate should check for exactly this situation and display a popup dialog indicating that kate is currently running somewhere else... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
