Hi there,

we’re getting this error when submitting our jobs to the latest Deadline 6.1 running on Linux.

Configuration Error: Unable to get the default repository from the config file “/var/lib/Thinkbox/Deadline6/deadline.ini” because it is locked by another process.[/code]

Any idea where to look to fix this?

Thank you in advance, best.

My only thought is to use lsof to see who has that file open for writing, and see if you can write-protect it from them. Once I know which app is to blame, we can start seeing why it’s still got it open.

Hi,

Just a thought, but are you forcing a certain UTF encoding at the top of your python code? If so, can you try removing it so it’s blank and trying again?
Cheers,
