Temp file deleted error

[seanh]

I'm using Peek 1.0.1 from the daily builds PPA https://launchpad.net/~peek-developers/+archive/ubuntu/daily, I keep finding that after Rendering... no file is saved, and I saw these errors in the terminal:

Using screen recorder backend gnome-shell

Stable version seems to have the same issue. Peek is unfortunately completely unusable for me now

But it worked for you previously? Did something change or is this a different system?

The error message indicates that there is not enough disk space for processing, how much space is there in your home? If it crashed in between maybe there are also left over files in /home/seanh/.cache/peek/

Went back and tried versions 1.0.0 and 0.9.1 (building from source), also tried the flatpak, and each different --backend, all have the same problem.

It did work for me before yes, on this same system. I did recently upgrade to Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, maybe that caused it?

Lots of space left in my home (about 40GB).

Leftover cache files:

$ ls .cache/peek/
peek7EDJYY.pam  peekIQ80XY.gif  peekMRGJXY.pam  peekYWYLXY.pam
$ du -hs .cache/peek/*
939M    .cache/peek/peek7EDJYY.pam
1.1M    .cache/peek/peekIQ80XY.gif
0       .cache/peek/peekMRGJXY.pam
0       .cache/peek/peekYWYLXY.pam

Tried emptying out .cache/peek but that didn't help (same crash, and afterwards .cache/peek is still empty)

Seems to be a duplicate of #112 . The core of the issue seems to be ImageMagick convert having some issues with the "distributed pixel cache" (whatever this is). But the fact that it also affects the flatpak version puzzles me, because this comes with its own convert and I cannot reproduce the issue there.

I close this, please follow #112 for updates.
