Hi,

I has a working Mandriva LE.
I use KDE (v 3.3.2).
All of a sudden, I can't add new entries to my K address book nor can I edit
existing ones. Whenever I try, I get an error message saying " the resource
std.vcf (under /home/xxx/.kde/share/apps/kabc/) is locked by application.

I have checked and I have rw permissions for that file.

Rebooting didn't solve the problem.

Please advise !

TIA

Check ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock to see if there's any lock files here
and if so remove them.

This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.

Thanks Thomas Overgaard,

That indeed solved the problem.
