I use two separate GnuCash books, one for my personal funds and another
for my LLC. These files are saved on a cloud drive and I access them
from a few different computers. Some of the computers run Windows 10,
while some run Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS. The computer on which this first
happened was running Windows 10 and GnuCash 5.4+ with sqlite backend,
but all computers are now responding the same way.
The day before yesterday I was updating and making some entries in the
book for my LLC; GnuCash was working normally. Then, with the work
completed, I attempted to switch from the LLC book to my personal book.
However, apparently the file was still open on a remote computer because
I received the error message that the .lock file could not be received.
I elected to close the file and exit GnuCash. Well and good. When I got
home that evening I closed the open instance of GnuCash running the
personal book. Well and good.
This morning I reopened the personal book and it opened and operated
normally. Okay so far. Then, I closed it and attempted to open the book
for the LLC. It would not open; I got a pop-up error message reading,
"GnuCash could not complete a critical test for the presence of a bug in
the "libdi" library. This may be caused by a permissions
misconfiguration of your SQL database. Please see
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645216 for more information."
I went to the bug tracker website, found the entry, and attempted to
follow the procedure which others said worked for them, of making a copy
of the GnuCash file and opening/closing it. However, the copied file(s)
were also corrupt and would not open. I do have a backup, but it's a few
weeks old and I'd have to reconstruct the invoices and bills since then.
Not a major undertaking, but if possible I'd like to recover this file.
The personal book, by the way, continues to work perfectly. Thanks for
any assistance----Eric.
