Comment 0 for bug 235438

this is much like bug 124424, but on the latest version (there is supposed to be a bug fix)

when i try to open the preferences dialogue, the panel shows the 'starting administrative application' thing, which then disappears almost instantly, and nothing happens. when i try to run /usr/bin/timevault-config from the terminal, i get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./timevault-config", line 31, in <module>
    configgui.MainDlg().Show()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TimeVault/configgui.py", line 241, in Show
    self.CheckDBVersion()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TimeVault/configgui.py", line 235, in CheckDBVersion
    if not db.Open():
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TimeVault/database.py", line 107, in Open
    self.Create(0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TimeVault/database.py", line 78, in Create
    result.Exec(sql)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TimeVault/database.py", line 42, in Exec
    self.cursor.execute(*args)
pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: database is locked

also, occasionally when i try to open the preferences dialogue, it gives me a message saying that the database neeeds to be upgraded from v0 to v5.

this is really irritating as i love timevault, and would love to use it. all hep appreciated, thanks.
