GuestHi, I installed firefly, but whenever I try to run it, it comes up with this error:

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Have you thought of any causes for this problem?
My first guess would be permission problems.
Check which user runs firefly, and if it has read (and write!) access to the file.—
Edit: OK, my bad. I see you used sudo so it’s root. Another possibility is that the database got corrupted. (it happens).
Delete it, and restart firefly. It will create a new database from scratch.3rd November 2008 at 11:03 pm #17773Anonymous
InactiveSearch the forum for “howl compatibility” for solutions to this problem, eg
RESOLVED! The Debian package was compiled with –enable-howl, so I recompiled it with –enable-avahi instead and this did the trick.
Awesome. Clearing out the DB file indeed forced it to rebuild the DB and everything’s hunky dory now. Thanks!
