Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking#Lock_files :) How do you remove the lock? Well, first close all your Emacs buffers (on any machine, anywhere) that are pointed at the org-check.org file. Then see if the lock file is still there. If it's there, and you're not editing the file in an Emacs buffer, than the lock is stale. Manually delete it. (Alternatively, Emacs has some user interface for doing this. It is described in that info page ^^^.) When you open f.org, if there is an #f.org# file, Emacs will let you know: You should recover this file is displayed in the echo area. Then, simply type M-x recover-this-file, and answer: - yes, to overwrite f.org with that auto-saved version - no, to simply delete #f.org# FYI, I've customized the color `recover-this-file' with an orange background in order to clearly see that Emacs has something to tell me, even if I overlooked the msg in the echo area: ...

Re: [O] org-check.org confusion
Well, to access the documentation about this: M-: (info (emacs)Interlocking) RET ...This tells us that the file you saw in the directory is a lock. The solution is to remove the lock, then try again. But how do I, also an Emacs newbie, know that? Well, lock files aren't peculiar to Emacs. Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking#Lock_files :) How do you remove the lock?

I have no idea what org-check.org is, but I presume that some org process normally writes to it, and in your case, it respected the lock, but didn't prompt you, or it did prompt you and you gave some answer other than steal the lock. - From: emacs-orgmode-bounces+david.loyall=nebraska@gnu.org [mailto:emacs-orgmode-bounces+david.loyall=nebraska@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Lawrence Bottorff Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 15:42 PM To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Subject: Re: [O] org-check.org confusion Any details about how this is involved with this issue?
