Enthought Canopy crashes upon opening mac


So yesterday I updated to Enthought version 1.1 and now it refuses to open. I've rebooted my computer as well as did a re-install of enthought canopy. I keep getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-i386/egg/canopy/app/bootstrap.py", line 1989, in main

return self.gen.next()
 File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-i386/egg/canopy/app/running_process_manager.py", line 59, in lock
LockError: Lock could not be acquired

I have no idea what's going on here. I've sent the error report to enthought but does anyone have any ideas?


Solution

  • I think I did it. Try searching for these files in your Terminal. They're inside your .canopy folder. Make sure that you're working on your root directory. They're not searchable via Finder. My Canopy's finally working now. Hope this helps.

    • proc_manager.lock
    • process.lck
    • running_procs.pkl
