efax pre-lock file [SOLVED[
Posted: Mar 18th, '25, 23:46I am using the version of efax (and efax-gtk) that is supplied with Mageia 9. This has always worked without problems.
Now however, every time I try to send a fax, I get an error that says "can't open pre-lock file /var/lock/TMP..*"
I can't see any lock files in /var/lock. What causes this and how can I fix it? As I said, this has always worked fine before. No hardware changes.
Could this be a permission problem?
Thank you.

I changed the lock file location to my home directory (/home/lloyd) That fixed the problem.
