editor dosn't work, posted by Sara Vanini on Thu Jun 2 12:52:10 2011

Hi,
when I try to edit an entry of my ELOG, the display shows the editor window blank, without all the previous content of the entry, and it is not possibile to write in it. It worked since yesterday, when ELOG tried to save a new entry but the disk was full. ELOG was srewed up. I deleted the buggy entry and now I can display all the previuos entries, but I cannot edit anymore... Please help!

I've a little experience of digging myself out of (in my case, self-induced) problems using ELOG. I'm also aware that I may be the least experienced/qualified user..
First: Archive your work directories. Then at least whatever you do from here, you've got the status quo to fall back on. Also, record anything you can remember (ID number, thread, etc) of the deleted entry/entries.
I've found that ELOG can hang in an infinite loop if it tries to find an entry that is no longer there - and that depends upon how you approach the point where the missing entry would be. ELOG's own delete works fine in normal circumstances. I'm talking about abnormal circumstances, for example when idiots (me) are playing around with the yymmdda.log files, or *possibly* if the disk is full, and you then try deleting the entry that caused the full disk problem. Whether that is what you are seeing, I cannot say at present.
However, to progress this: When you are stuck, unable to edit anything, in a[nother] terminal, try the process report
ps -A
two or three times, with a short interval between commands. (Or other switches if you know how to select to view the elogd process on your system). If elogd is using seconds of CPU time between each ps command, it's probably in an infinite loop. If you need to be sure, wait a minute and check again. If so, you'll have to stop the daemon, possibly requiring a computer reboot. In my experience, ELOG does not get stuck in an infinite loop when just indexing the pages when the daemon starts, but experts may well know better.
This may at least diagnose whether you cannot edit because ELOG is stuck in an infinite loop, or has some other cause.
If it is the infinite loop, the trick is to find which entry causes the loop without getting stuck in that loop next time around.

Hi David,
you have been very helpful indeed. The problem was the one you spot, I've deleted the buggy entry removing the ***.log file, and this caused disaster..... now it is working again, thanks a lot, I have all my PhD thesis in ELOG....

Hello,
I'm using ELOG with Ubuntu 19. When I create or edit an entry and I start writing, it hangs for few seconds, resumes, and all over again intermittently.
How can I fix it?

local usage on windows + Linux virtual machine , posted by Sara Vanini on Fri Jan 24 14:56:56 2020

Hello again,
I love to use elog, but I don't need any other accessing it for the moment. So, it is possible to run elog locally on my PC, and make it not accessible from outside?
Moreover, I installed elog on a linux virtual machine running with Virtual Box on Windows 10. Is it possible to open/edit my elog both from the linux VM and from the Windows system? without any accessibility from outside my PC?
Many many thanks
