I have had messages like this when I inadvertently tried to start two copies of the same image (in my case pharo 6.1). The first image was running happily in the background, the second gave this message (but still seemed to start OK). I am also on Windows 10, using 32-bit Pharo.

this is not the case ... this is the only copy, However it seems this is reported issue as per the other thread (I am on Windows 10 if that is relevant) regards Sanjay ----- --- Regards, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

I don't know how to identify the VM version - it is the one which was current when I downloaded my current image in July 2017; the .exe has a creation date of 31 May 2017. The point of my comment was that this message does not only come from a conflict of access permissions. In my situation, it arises because the program knows that another program has exclusive write access to the changes file. In your situation, could it be that the program is wrongly coming to the same conclusion? I don't know how Pharo reaches that conclusion; I just thought that it might give a clue to anyone trying to locate the bug. Best wishes Peter Kenny PS. Sorry for splitting this into two threads - my spelling checker insisted on correcting the typo in the subject line. -----Original Message----- From: Pharo-users [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Sanjay Minni Sent: 14 January 2018 05:04 To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo 7 image cannot write changes message on startup Peter, this is the only image (re-checked) However this seems to be a reported issue. which version of VM are you using Regards Sanjay ----- --- Regards, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html |
