Thanks for the report! Can you confirm a few things for us?

• What were you doing at the time of the error?
• Is the error is reproducible?
• If reproducible, do you see the error in safe mode (atom --safe)?

Rest as above.
The issue just happens when opening atom. It doesn't appear to break anything.

Also experienced this issue now.
Maybe it's some sort of race condition because I launched Atom without issue.
I did not make any changes/updates to Atom or my system whatsoever.
When I launched a 2nd instance of Atom this issue occurred.
I launched a 3rd instance of Atom. No problem.

I'm running Atom 1.40.1 x64 On Debian 10 Kernel 5.0.21
