Hello All I am using GnuCash version 5.13 Build ID Flathub 5.13-1 with Linux POP_OS 22.04 as my desktop. Am getting the message "could not obtain the lock for .....database may be in use by another user" I can view "read only" and when using the "open anyway" option I can enter most data but when I try to process a payment the program closes. The only thing that I have done differently is that while traveling I created an invoice with the same version of GnuCash on my travel laptop which uses POP_OS 24.04.3. The gnucash files are kept in a Dropbox folder that is synced and mutually available to both PCs. Now if I open GnuCash on the laptop I get the same "could not obtain lock" message and the program crashes when I try to process a payment. Is there some way to let the program know that the file is not in use by another user? Is there a workaround? Any advice is appreciated.
