It wasn't the sync. It was my "work flow" which always included a saveas to
a remote drive for backup (obviously redundant along with my 2 other
automated backup routines). That process (whichI will no longer perform!)
was removing/retaining the .lck file in a way that my next file opening
didn't
Now that’s a possibility. I’ll look into and reply back soon.

If so, set the software not to copy the
Perhaps another thing to consider is are you using any sort of syncing
software that could possibly be copying this LCK back from a backup
location after Gnucash has deleted it ?

IIUC, when a user opens a .gnucash file with GnuCash, EG foo.gnucash is
opened, GnuCash creates an additional file in the same folder, as a signal
that this file is open and being modified. This is the lock file. The lock

No to mention that there are very often (nearly always?) at least
three 'latest versions' for Open Source software:-
The latest stable, general release, version
The latest beta version, for 'ordinary users' to test, or even use
if it works well for them
The latest

Thanks for this!
Some of what you're detailing in tech terms is above my pay grade (mysql
etc). But I AM savvy enough to know that when I post "latest version", that
I have checked the versioning number to confirm that my latest update is in
fact the latest update.
So I support your suggestion
Since the latest update to GC (Version: 4.2 Build ID: 4.2+(2020-09-26)), I am
also getting the "cannot obtain lock" error. I don't believe that it has
anything to do with file permissions or storage issues. It is happening
with XML files as well as with mysql. It is not consistent and I always
I have the same problem and it did start after the last update

Hi,
"latest" is no version. Without OS/Distri and Gnucash version we have no
clue, what you are using.
In the current version the only file with "lock" in messages is
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/gnucash/gnome-utils/gnc-file.c
I seen no occurrence of "lock" where no explanation
I think it did cause I have the same problem.

Or has it already been fixed after all? Jack didn't say which version
he's using, I think, so maybe he has a version before the fix was applied.

Didn't we have a long discussion a couple of months back about improving
this message? I may be remembering wrong, but I thought the improvements
were going to be in the next version.
This seems to be the single most common query about GnuCash. Surely,
after living with it at least since version

To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe:
I always save the file. Then go to File/Quit to shutdown and never turn the
PC off.
So what does "Either that or you have a filesystem/storage problem where it
can't
actually create the lock file. " mean?

Make sure you exit
I used to get this a bit a few years ago. It has reappeared. I just
continue to save the file anyway but I get nervous about file integrity,
etc. every time I see it. So what's going on and how do I stop it?
