Can't open SRWare Iron

Post by maryacarter »

Hello,
I downloaded Iron from a .deb file.
I have be using it for a week or two. Today I can't open it. I get a message about my profile. Iron starts to open but shuts down. Here is the output when I try to start from the command line:

Code: Select all

joe@crunchbang:~$ iron &

I can't find a config file in my home directory.

The "database locked" error indicates that another instance of Iron or a related process is still using the database. Try killing any existing Iron processes.

that error log looks like a mess! I had something similar on Debian a while back—database lock errors usually mean the profile got corrupted or something’s holding it up. First, try renaming the Iron profile folder (should be in ~/.config/srware or something like that) to force a fresh one. If that doesn’t work, maybe check if another process is hogging the database—kill any lingering Iron processes with pkill iron and restart. Also, what distro version are you on? Might help narrow it down!
