Bug Description

Today I found a strange behavior I could not explain.
I restarted two of my computers and afterwards I started "persy" but instead of runnig well (which it does yesterday or on my laptop today) it produced some error messages:
==> default.log <==
07.10.2010 19:53:13 INFO local commit
07.10.2010 19:53:13 WARNING add: 128
==> git.log <==
fatal: Not a git repository: '/home/thorsten/.persy/git'
(same message apperas 4 times)

This is very strange because I can access the local repositories on both computers using ". persy --setenv". With this I am able to add, commit, pull, push with the local repository. Synchronization is with the master repository is possible.

One computer runs with Kubuntu 10.04 (with persy from the ppa-repo) the other one runs with OpenSuse 11.2 (using compiled persy). A third computer running with Kubuntu 10.04 is still running persy without any problems.

Additionally the GUI has some problems on the two not running PCs: On the "synchronisation"-pane the text messages are plain english text instead of the German translation.

hi thorsten, thanks for the report.

the german translation is not really broken but has been under some work in the last weeks. the translation process broke because of some fundamental redesigns in the development environment. i did fix those yesterday and i hope the german translation will be up to date in the next release.

now back to your problem. this IS strange. 1 is working fine and 2 are broken? the git repository seams ok? what happens when you start gitk or qgit. any errors or strange behavior at all? how does your sync work. you have 3 computers. is one of these the "master" or is another server involved.

do you run the same version on all computers and if so, which one?

Changed in persy:

Sorry,
I've found the problem.
I had a closer look on the config files and the two machines having problems have their home-directory located at /cfs/home instead of /home.
I don't know why they got the config from my laptop but that seems to be the problem.
After I changed the config on the 2 machines persy is running well again.
Sorry to bother you..
Best wishes
