I run the distro’s version of eclipse. Each time I update it seems to lose the a6 workbench and I need to reinstall it. This also mean reconfiguring to get back to where I was.

This time it’s not going so good. I am able to build the project but if I try to run it , it fails to do anything. I do not see it reporting the flash process in the console window.

There is no error msg in the UI but I see a ton of messages about lock files on the console:

check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details:Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file.
RXTX fhs_lock() Error: opening lock file: /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0: Permission denied. FAILED TO OPEN: No such file or directory
k{� testRead() Lock file failed

This path is no longer writeable because of security changes. Does the workbench need updating to account for this or is there some way I can work around the problem. Lockfiles should now be created in a subdirectory of /var/lock/ ( in fact a symlink to /run/lock ).

I temporarily made /run/lock user writeable temporarily and this did not change, so that’s likely a red-herring.

Thanks for any tips.
