I was looking back through the VarAC log and noticed getting SQLite errors regarding not being able to lock the database. I am running the VarAC version 13.0 with an email gateway enabled.
I am only running a single instance of VarAC. Attached is an abbreviated log file.
Does VarAC use IRC for a chat protocol or something else?
I'm could not figure out how to search for this in the new forum. When I revert back to 12.0.0 (rename the backup), 12.0.0 functions as before. I'd like to get back to debugging the email gateway but I'd hoped it would "just work" with 13.0.0.
Thanks for any assistance and 73. Cal (AD8Q)
Couldn't get first exception for process 0020 C:\VarAC\VarAC.exe.

Modules:
My Linux system runs Debian V.13.1 with XFCE The Wine version is the current STABLE version: wine-10.0 I initially tried copying the necessary VarAC files from the ZIP installation to the standard VarAC directory - but that would not run. Then I performed a full fresh installation from the Installation EXE file to a new sub-directory. When starting VarAC with Wine, it starts and successfully completes the personal configuration screen, but when it restarts VarAC to implement the newly configured INI VarAC bombs out and ends. Below is the VarAC LOG file, which seems to point to some SQL related issue.... Hopefully it will make more sense you you? As can be seen from the log file this is a totally fresh install.... 05/11/2025 08:32:45 - Starting VarAC (V13.0.1)

Hi,
I'm using Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, and VARA and VarAC work almost as expected.
Since I'm not a Debian user or a Wine expert, I'm not sure how much I can help, but it might be related to the Wine-Mono version bundled with your Debian system.
I once heard that SQLite had a compatibility issue with some Wine-Mono 7.x (or earlier) builds.
You might want to start by checking which Mono version you have.
You can do this by running:
$ wine uninstaller
Mine shows:
Wine Mono Runtime 9.4.0
Wine Mono Windows Support 9.4.0
If yours is older, you can install a newer version with:
$ winetricks -q wine-mono9.4.0
By the way, from your log there seems to be another issue — the VARA modem doesn’t launch.
I imagine that’s because its directory hasn’t been set yet in your VarAC settings.
Once VarAC opens correctly, you can specify the modem path there, which should resolve that problem.
I hope this helps.
