What version of gEdit are you using?
EDIT: that method was removed in gEdit 2.31.2 and replaced with GDBus it seems.

I only posted that for fun, it's not a problem. Our Linux machines are hidden in some catacombs a mile from here. We use X-clients on them and we have no root access. These messages are sometimes related to (1) some X-weirdness (2) some DBUS-weirdness.

I once got an error message stating, and I quote, 'You are an retarded idiot' from a program I was testing. Complete with bad grammar. I reported the message, and boy was the development manager there pissed at the dev who put those messages in there. AFAIK that dev has been working at McDonalds since he got fired, as no one wants to hire him.

Days come and go, yeah, things happen and you try to find someone to blame. But who do you blame when you have no one to blame?
I mean i had some positive news this year, my 1y contract got set to a unlimited one, i got a new car (my first one) and it seemed to go with the flow up!
But my work load doubled since i lost my collegue (which was a freelancer) my first introduction of my software went bad cause everyone did what they wanted and i forgott to implement locks (multiuserrestrictions), my lady went throught a hard time during her masters this semester and we both went down a huge load of stress and had very little sleep. I had a problem with my knee which is still not better and seems to become a case for the hospital and an operation.
Then, the sun seemed to shine again, i got the car, we took it and on the way back someone hit the car of my lady with 30 kmh (we were in a stop and go traffic jam). Looked horrible and this morning my happiness about my new car went below 0, economical disaster, her car remains unrepairable and we have to look for a new one. She is still a student so we have not that much money since im the only one taking some home. Even worse, i bought an expensive car, bank loan + loan within the family has to be paid. My nerves are grounded. It all feels like a big joke now, the only question right now is who's gonna get depressed first, her or me.
Sorry to disturb you with all that but i needed some kind of relief now.

Yes, life can throw some bad stuff at you. Your tale of woe reminds me of a period in my life many years ago. The only answer is to face it head on and work to resolve the problems, however long it may take. And let us hope that you and your girlfriend can support each other, if not financially, then at least emotionally. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Relax...he hit her, so it's his insurance you need to hit for the money.
It's hassle, but it's not too bad - check if her insurance includes a hire car while hers is repaired and contact them.
Other than that, give her a cuddle and support each other so you can stop each other getting depressed.

Her car is not repairable = she gets a little bit of money, but much less than you would need to get a working car.
My car has 120000km, is 5 years old, so I can still drive about 130000km with hit. If it gets hit by someone tomorrow and they cannot repair it, because of too much damages, I'd get 2200€ form the insurance. With 2200€, I can not buy a working car.

I can, I've never spent that much on a car in my life.

I should have added : in France. Buy a car of that value, and expect to add 2000€ each month for the parts that will fail.
For 2000€ in Germany, you get 4 tires.

A friend of my brother had a business a number of years ago, importing cars and vans from Europe to order. His business partner would source the cars, and then he would fly over and drive them back. This worked very well for a number of years until he was stopped by French customs crossing from Belgium with a ton and a half of cannabis hidden inside the van he was driving.
Turns out over the years he had been smuggling loads of drugs and not known a thing about it.
His partner got away completely free whilst he spent a number of years in a French prison.

I wouldn't like to sound like your mum, but...
Would it be disaster (would you loose the job) if for a 3 month period you would ease a bit there? Can the two of you share cars for some period of time? Can you talk to the family to hold that loan for a while (the bank probably will say no - but it may worth to ask there too)?
Take a few days off (not in a block but spread over weeks - a day in every two weeks for the next 3 months?) to do nothing...
And most importantly focus on what really important! If you compare a broken car to a possible fight with family, you will see how that car is secondary and unimportant...
It will not buy you a new car, or pay the loan, but you may see the colors...

May sound silly, but you and your girlfriend have got each other and you both are healthy as I understand (except for your knee...I had two knee-surgeries a few years ago and I can tell you that this usually works out fine).
...and that is the most important thing!
So keep your head up, the rest will eventually fall into place!

I almost got hit by someone going 100+ MPH in a school zone. I was stopped at a red light but quickly blasted through and over to the side to avoid a collision. I was not in trouble as seven police cars were there and saw the guy blazing through. He ended up crashing and being thrown a good distance away, and yet was amazingly uninjured. According to the news he had a BAC of .157. The car was stolen as well, and the elderly person he beat up to steal it died, so he was hit with murder charges as well.
It seriously can be worse. Stay strong, and keep on going.
This song is appropriate for the situation[^]

Drunks bounce well. They often walk (or more often run) away from crashes that would seriously injure "normal" people.

He kinda wobbled away.
This was a 16 year old young man. He was tried as an adult, as this wasn't his first arrest. It was his 27th.

I may thank you all for your kind words. I know it could be worse, but it just was a shock with those last months.

In my country there is a saying: "It will all get well until marriage." It is used for young people who do not realize just how much time is on their side. You two seem to be only in your twenties; and the gypsy lady says these tiny problems will be campfire stories before you hit 30ty. I'm 43 and just a year ago I had a very nasty financial situation. Solved it. But it sure would help if I was in my 20, because it is easier to fix things when you are young. My savings shall be back to normal when I'm 45. Yours - when you're 28.  So relax and let it be for a while. After all the problems don't get fixed any sooner if you pile them on your stomach.

None of us is everready, it happened to me too. It's less than a year that I live on my own with my GF, still student, destroyed my second car and had to revert to the old one (luckily I kept it) with a lot of money to spend to repair it (my dad told me he was to demolish it and then he repaired it for me as a Christmas present, bless him) but the shock is still there and the economic damage too.
Alo there are problems with my GF study carreer that will force her to attend a University 150 km farther than the one she's currently enrolled in, so there will be huge costs of transportation. Every so often I need to make repairs in my rented house since all the equipment is old and battered, then there come taxes of any kind and surprises like huge bills not dictated by actual usage...
Nobody is ready, ever. You can just soldier on.

i am not sure if this is a good solution but you may sell your expensive car and use bus/train option for sometime and you can use the money for other important things.

Sounds like you are just starting out, in 5-10 years time all these problems will be a memory once you've started to establish yourselves, and more or less forgotten later. The trick is to pick yourself up and carry on.

You and your lady have each other, this is what really matters.
