Hi, I’ve been using GnuCash for several years on Linux (Fedora 38) without any issue. However, now when I try to start GnuCash, I get an error in the console: “GnuCash could not obtain the lock for the /home/cybr/GnuCashData/CyBrGnucash202001.gnucash. The database may be in use by another user in which case you should not open the database. What would you like to do?
Selecting Open Anyway or Open Read Only gives the same error in the console: Found Finance::Quote version 1.54. *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Aborted (core dumped) The output of gnucash –paths is: GnuCash Paths GNC_USERDATA_DIR: /home/cybr/.local/share/gnucash (user modifiable) GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR: /home/cybr/.config/gnucash (user modifiable) GNC_BIN: /usr/bin GNC_LIB: /usr/lib64/gnucash GNC_CONF: /etc/gnucash I’ve searched through the FAQs, bugs and StackExchange site and could not find any similar error. The storage layer is sqlite. Could this be a corrupted file? If so, which file is likely? I backup this machine weekly and can restore individual files and directories. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
