I'm not sure whether this should be an error or not. It seems like it should to
me, but crashing like this obviously isn't ideal.

Thanks,

same problem :(
ubuntu 9.04 // python 2.6

In my case I came across this problem because I didn't think bzr-notify was running as it wasn't visible in the notification area. Nor can I see how to make it visible in the notification area.

Ubuntu 9.04 (Beta), fully patched as of 09/04/09

bzr-notify crash for the first launch and next time it launches without problem.

[Matthew Pirocchi (matthew-pirocchi)]

Why is this marked as Triaged in Bazaar GTK+ Frontends? Isn't it a Bazaar GTK+ Frontends bug?

Present in Lucid alpha 3. Could libunique be a good solution to this problem?

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Matthew, Triaged means it's been accepted as a bug and that an importance has been assigned.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

When do you get this crash exactly? Are you starting bzr-notify manually?

[Martin Schaaf (mascha)]

Yes, please try it.

bzrlib.errors.BzrError: A lan-notify process is already running

It shouldn't crash. An error message would be enough.
