Well I thought this was going to be painless operation with OSMO application. After a fresh install of and first run of Osmo everything was normal - - I inputted all data records into the program.
Then after quitting Osmo and restarting computer it refuses to start normally.
I get this when typing osmo into terminal:
"Another copy of OSMO is already running. Simultaneously use two or more copies of OSMO can be a cause of data loss.
Do you really want to continue?"
When I check "/usr/share/applications/osmo"
OSMO PROPERTIES
Owner: root-
Access: Read and Write
Group: root
Access: Read only
Access: Read only
Execute: (box is unchecked) - Allow executing file as program
You are not the owner, so you cannot change these properties
Okay I'm getting somewhere, somehow . . .
Was just searching scrapping the web for answers.
Discovered an answer on Linux Mint forum.

I have Mint XFCE 2.6.32-21 generic as my distro.I have faced similar problems with OSMO which had to be surmounted..As gui wasn't of help used terminal with an abridged # osmo -c output (MAN OSMO) which does not "run off the screen".Sought
http:// sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_ID=206587 to get a work around viz. # LC_ALL=C osmo the problem is almost solved but OSMO keeps vanishing when accessed via GUI.This geriatric too feels" half a loaf is better than none"
So I can now launch Osmo with "osmo -c output" - - But it only displays Calendar function and I require the Tasks function of Osmo.
Further experimentation required dudes
SOLUTION
If anybody is interested the real solution ended up being very simple.
Upon first launch/start of Osmo after new install when Osmo-GUI is present ----> Do the following config change in General Preferences:
Uncheck/disable "Enable System Tray" checkbox.
After this procedure Osmo application operates normally ::)
