[Qgis-user] Errors when re-opening new installation of QGIS

[Steven Yanoff]

Hello,

I recently installed QGIS on a Mac (Lion 10.7.5) by downloading these components from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis and installing them in order:
1. GDAL 1.11 
2. NumPy  (included in the GDAL download, per the GDAL Readme)
3. Matplotlib Python 1.3.1-2  
4. QGIS 2.6.1-2 

I then started QGIS and began working through training exercises (http://docs.qgis.org/2.6/en/docs/training_manual/).   It seemed to run fine.  But now whenever I re-open QGIS I get the long error message below.  I can close the error message window and continue working in QGIS.  It then seems to run fine.

But when I open a project I get another error message - A network request has timed out, any data received is likely incomplete - 2015-01-13T18:15:31	1	Network request http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=2.6 timed out.  Once that error closes the project seems to run fine.

The other thing I noticed is that when I created a field in a training exercise sqlite attribute table I could not delete it, but instead got a message that the Provider does not support deleting attributes.

Below is the error message when I open QGIS.  It is followed by two more error messages I see in a log.  Any idea what I should do about this?

An error has occured while executing Python code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
