I get the same error message also when logging out with Log Out button. No strange characters in username or password. Here is the xterm report: $ /opt/qspot/bin/qspot Unsupported date format character at 1 (%-d.%-m.) > set_stream 'QSpot' SetOfflineMode: true , false Connection state: 0 Error code: 24 Error code: 24 Logged out Session deleted I will next try to uninstal QSpot and delete all user data before reinstall.
