Re: 1st pass thru desktop chapter edits on precise e2

 

Thank you for your quick reply Kevin.

I checked what you asked, and I'm pointing to precise-e2, but when I try to
push, this is the message I get:

Unable to obtain lock  held by godbyk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on crowberry
(process #14337), acquired 169 hours, 55 minutes ago.
See "bzr help break-lock" for more.
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "(remote lock)": bzr+ssh://
bazaar.launchpad.net/%2Bbranch/ubuntu-manual/

I did 'bzr help break-lock', but the help suggested I not break the lock
unless I knew the process associated with the lock was done.

Can you take care of this from your end?

And I assume I just do a 'bzr push lp:ubuntu-manual' from my precise-e2
directory, right?

I just want to be cautious here because a) my experience with bzr is
limited, and b) we have two manuals in play right now.

Thanks!
