Oscar Debug Log Warning - DanEm - 08-02-2022 I got this warning today when opening Oscar: Unable to write to debug log. You can still use the debug pane (Help/ Troubleshooting/Show Debug Pane) but the debug log will not be written to disk. That message did not show before this morning. To my knowledge, nothing has changed in my system last night ! I ran the 3 following procedures:
I am including the ZIP file from Oscar. What should I do next to avoid the error message ? Last minute check. Got this message when trying to save the error ZIP You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - Crimson Nape - 08-02-2022 It is not OSCAR. The last message is your answer. Either your Windows account settings have changed, or you've lost your account's security level. Another thought; Since this is currently Tuesday, Microsoft calls it "Update Tuesday". You might have been hit by an update glitch. Have you tried rebooting? RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - DanEm - 08-02-2022 Quote:Either your Windows account settings have changed, or you've lost your account's security level. Don't think that's it. I did reboot more than once. I just rebooted again. I opened Oscar and got the same error. I saved some other file in the Data folder and no error message. I tried again to have Oscar make the ZIP of the diagnostic logs. I got the error shown in screenshot "Oscar Error2.png" If I change the destination for the ZIP, Oscar saves it. I checked the Data folder properties and I still have Full Control. Although I don't like doing such, should I redo the security assignments for the Data folder? Any other ideas? RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - GuyScharf - 08-02-2022 I notice that the path to the file in the message is ...\OSCAR\Data... The default directory named used by OSCAR is OSCAR_Data. Assuming your user name is psode, then the default directory would be c:\Users\psode\Documents\OSCAR_Data. Are you sure the path quoted in the message is correct? RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - DanEm - 08-02-2022 The folder Name and location are not the original ones from Oscar. I have restructured the location to my liking when I got the machine and started using Oscar. There was no change since then. The name and path are correct and were working fine yesterday ??? Weird !!! RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - GuyScharf - 08-02-2022 The logs you attached to your earlier post look normal, and the paths agree with the directories you just posted. I suggest you start OSCAR, select Help/Troubleshooting/Show Debug Pane. The copy the contents of debug pane and attach them to a post here. RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - DanEm - 08-02-2022 The txt file contains all that showed in the debug pane 2 minutes ago This message edited with: Operating system: Windows 10 WRONG the OS is Windows 11 Unable to delete expired log file "C:/Users/psode/SOMMEIL/OSCAR/Data/logs/debug.3.txt" I am able to delete it manually RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - GuyScharf - 08-02-2022 Well, that's odd. The debug pane messages match the behavior you describe. Code: 00438: Debug: AppData folder already exists, so ... Try deleting the entire logs directory and see if it works better after that. This looks like some kind of Windows permissions problem, so maybe deleting the files and folder will make the problem disappear when OSCAR creates them again. The "Windows 10" vs "Windows 11" information is created by the QT development system we use. We're using an older version which may not distinguish between Windows 10 and 11. We will eventually upgrade to the latest version of QT, but there are lots of little problems we have to resolve with upgrading, and few advantages, so we have not focused effort on upgrading to the latest version of QT. RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - GuyScharf - 08-02-2022 Do you use multiple Windows accounts on your machine? If so, running OSCAR on more than one Windows account could result in permission problems. RE: Oscar Debug Log Warning - DanEm - 08-02-2022 I am not using multiple Windows accounts. I renamed the logs folder Opened Oscar No messages New logs folder was created by Oscar Closed Oscar and reopened. Got message shown in "Message at Oscar start.png" Went to Help/Troubleshooting/Create zip of OSCAR diagnostic logs Selected "C:/Users/psode/SOMMEIL/OSCAR/Data/logs" to save the zip. Got the message shown in "Message save ZIP .png" I was able to save the log file "OSCAR-logs.zip" in another folder. I copied the content of debug pane in "Debug pane.docx" All the above files are in Files.zip included here Hope you can find the problem and help correct it. To repeat what I already wrote, as far as I can see, there was no change to my system from when all was working fine. Windows does not update automatically on my laptop. I need to take action if I want to install updates. The last updates I did was on July 5, 2022. |
