That attachment made my day, LOL! Wasn't it actually easier to transcribe
it
to a text editor than to papare and then scan it? By the way, sending 184
KB
instead of ~ 500 B means > 99% bandwidth waste. Multiply 183.5 K times the
number of subscribers to the list. Please don't do that.
Try creating the lock file yourself on /tmp just to check for the error
message.
Remove it afterwards, of course. That should be successful. If not, it
should
give a clue (although from the message already there, seems to be a problem
in the /tmp directory itself). Check everything, existence, permissions,
and
even mount properties in /etc/fstab (if applies), as it might have been
remounted read-only. Retest until successful.
I would have included some commands to help you out, but my PC doesn't
copy text
from image attachments yet. ;-)
BTW, I would guess you are not familiar with mailing-lists like this one.
I'd
suggest you take a look around for the Netiquette and the mailing-list
rules.
That will give you some guidance on how to ensure overall respect for
others
in public discussion places.
