[SOLVED] buku bookmanager problem: [ERROR] Unlock database first
by validator456 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53E00)
Buku is a cli bookmark manager: https://github.com/jarun/buku/tree/v4.3
I tried to get a list of all the bookmarks that I had made with buku and run the command: buku -l
But this is not the command to do that. This will LOCK the database. It asked for a password and I really don't know what I had typed in at the time (although I found it weird).
Fortunately, I have made a backup of buku in the past.
I uninstalled buku (pip3 uninstall buku) and this time I installed it with a .deb file.
Unfortunately, importing the backup database doesn't work: buku -i bukubookmarkds.db. I get the error: [ERROR]: Unlock database first.
Because buku is dependent on cryptography, I purged python-pythography and python3-pythograpghy with Synaptic Package Manager. Then I reinstalled both files again. Then I reinstalled buku again. And tried to import the backup again.
Yet, I get the same error: [ERROR]: Unlock database first.
What do I have to do to fix this error so that I can import the buku bookmarks backup?
