Crashing in loop at boot time

Postby fabrizio » Sat Aug 09, 2014 12:29 pm

Hello,

I was running Newsbin smoothly, then it crashed. Each time I start it, it crashed when the popup appears (load the downling list).

What can I do?

Thanks

The download list is stored in "Downloads.db3". If you delete that file, does it start?

This will wipe the downloads, failed and wish lists.

Hello,

By removing the Downloads.db3 file, the result is the same. It crashes at startup.
Also I can see my files still in the "Donwloading files" windows.
A new Downloads.db3 has been generated.

Thanks

You must have done something wrong if you still have file in the Downloading Files list after deleting the downloads.db3 file and restarting Newsbin. Did you remember to close down Newsbin before deleting this file?

Hello,

Newsbin has crashed during a session. I was not playing with it, it was doing its own job.

I tried to restart it, it crashes again and again.

So for sure NB is stopped when I removed the Downloads.db file.

Hi,

I removed all folders from spool_v6 directory and added back one by one. I started NB between each add.
I finally found the directory I have issue with. It contains an extra file : Storage.db3-mj5DFCA59A5

I have deleted these file, it works fine now.

Nice that's some good trouble-shooting.
