LR 2.2 - Can't open catalog (AgLibraryRootFolder error)

I have a catalog that opens and works fine in LR 2.1. When I try to open it in LR 2.2, I get the dialog :
Lightroom
Database "D:\Children.lrcat": column absolutePath is not unique
Statement: INSERT INTO AgLibraryRootFolder( id_local, id_global, absolutePath, name, relativePathFromCatalog ) VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ?, ? );
OK
I tried exporting the catalog to a new catalog, and get the same error when trying to open the exported catalog.
Any ideas how to go about fixing this ?

A reply from Adobe...I will not be able to test it out until next week. Hope y'all do well with it...
You may be able to resolve the issue by clearing the preferences files
for all versions of Photoshop Lightroom.
To clear Lightroom preferences:
- Quit all versions of Photoshop Lightroom.
- Click the Start button and choose Run.
- Type %appdata% (without the quotes) into the Open field and click
OK.
- Open the Adobe folder.
- Open the Lightroom folder.
- Open the Preferences folder.
- Delete or rename the Lightroom 2 Preferences.agprefs, Lightroom
Preferences.agprefs file, and Silvertone Preferences.agprefs file, if
there is one.
- Restart Photoshop Lightroom.
If the issue continues to occur, it is likely that your Lightroom
catalog file is damaged. You may be able to resolve the issue by c
reating a new Lightroom catalog and then importing the data from the old catalog.
To create a new catalog:
- Launch Lightroom while holding the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
- Click the Create New Catalog button.
- Specify a name and location for the new catalog.
- Click the Create button.
When Lightroom opens, use the File > Import from Catalog command and
then select your original catalog file to import the content of your
original catalog.
If you receive an error when attempting to import the content from your catalog, import the data from a catalog backup file. The default
location of the Lightroom catalog backups is My
Pictures\Lightroom\Backups.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue.
If you require further assistance with this issue, please update your
web case with complete details, including what steps you have applied
and any error messages you are receiving.

LR 3.2 - Can't open catalog: unexpected error

I have a problem with LR 3.2 @ Win7 64bit:
"Suddenly" I am not able to open some catalogs, I recently created and used without any problems so far. If I open the catalog (via the open dialog or by directly clicking on the .lrcat), a splash sreen tells me, that there is an "unexpected error", and it just don't open. If I create a new empty catalog, I can import from the corrupted catalog.
Has anybody encountered a similar problem? What can I do? Is there a way to repair the catalog? Can I restore it with the backups?
Dennis.

Bought Lightroom 3.2 two days ago. I have the same problem. Is yours already solved? What did you have to do? I already contacted the helpdesk but they sent me to technical support...

PSE 12 - Can't open catalog - some internal programming error. Can NOT open PSE 12 organizer

Can not pass Catalog manager - Can't open catalog - sez an internal programming error occurred?????

Yes, it seems like a problem with the main catalog. I haven't seen a failed conversion before that didn't write a conversion log. So there aren't many clues to go on. I have just one more suggestion -- run the utility psedbtool on your PSE 6 catalog:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/
Because you have both PSE 6 and 8 installed, you'll have to run it specially:
1. Start PSE 6 and do Help > System Info to find the folder path of your PSE 6 catalog folder.
2. Start a command prompt.
3. Type these two commands:
cd c:\psedbtool
.\psedbtool -printVolumeTable > output.log
4. Copy and paste the contents of c:\psedbtool\output.log here.

Can't open catalog

Hi, new to Lightroom so bear with me. Since I'm using Lightrom on my own desktop as well as at school, I have the catalog stored on an externel drive. I've opened it up from the external drive using several differnet computers but just now it won't let me open the catalog saying "The Lightroom catalog named "Stephen+Catalog" can't be opened because it is currently open in another application." As far as I know it is not open anywhere else. Plugged the external drive into another computer and got the same error message. Makes no sense. Help! Thanks in advance.

Rman: can't open catalog

Hi, Completely new to all this rman stuff. Reading up in the Oracel Database 10g DBA Handbook which has a step by step on RMAN. I have failed at the first hurdle, getting error message "rman: can't open catalog" when I type "rman catalog rman/rman001" havingf set up the Oracle SID alreafy. If I type "rman" and nothing else the sessions hangs?
Any thoughts and advice most welcome.

export ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH
export ORACLE_BASE
Now Create RMAN catalog
1. Create tablespace specific for rman catalog
2. Create user schema specific for rman repository
3. Grant connect,resource,sysdba,recovery_catalog_owner roles to rmanuser
4. Now connect using RMAN utility
rman target rmanuser/password@sid catalog rmanuser/password@sid
5. On RMAN prompt now create the catalog using 'CREATE CATALOG' command
6. Register database;
Now RMAN catalog is ready. If you start taking backup the information about the backup sets will go to the catalog in the schema that you created. Controlfile is the default repository for RMAN. You can work with RMAN witout catalog aswell. For advantages/disadvantages go to http://oracle.com/technology
documentation section and download RMAN documents.

About 1356 ERROR:pifreg:can not open registry database error

I test the simpsver using simpclw run on the same machine, the simpsver seen to
run normally. After config the correct network option,I test the simpsver on the
different machine using simpclw, now I get the "1356 ERROR:pifreg:can not open
registry database error" ,the action bea suggested is "Make sure that the directory(default
TUXDIR/udataobj) is not on an NFS mounted filesystem that does not support file
locking", but in fact bea client is installed on a local file system (ext2)!

Right click your document, hover over "Open with..." and then click "Other".
Find TextEdit and click "Open".
TextEdit will then do it's best to open your document.
If you have iLife, do the same but instead of opening with TextEdit open with Numbers, Pages, Keynote, e.t.c.

Can't Import Catalog - Unknown Error

Is this still a known bug without a solution?
I have LR3 on a MacBook Pro Snow Leopard and on a PC Desktiop Win XP Pro SP3. I exported a catalog from the laptop to an external hard drive and then attempted to import it to the desktop and kept getting the dreaded Can't Import Catalog - Unknown Error message.
I don't have an issue with LR Beta because i didn't use it; I just upgraded v2.6 installations on both machines to LR3.
I like LR3 but I've got to be able to get the image files and the LR work I've done on them from my laptop to my desktop and an Unknown Error is not what I need. Am I going to have to wait for the first dot release to be able to do this?
--Bob

Well, I just got off the phone with Adobe Technical Support and I am extremely frustrated
Support: Since you are working cross-platform (from a Mac laptop via an external hard drive and then to a Win XP desktop) we can only say that sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not.
Me: Huh? It worked perfectly in LR 2.6.
Support: I am sorry. That is all I can tell you.
Me: That really ruins my month. I've got thousands of edited images on my laptop from a 3 week trip to SE Asia and now I can't move the catalog to my desktop? Give me a break!!
Support: You can copy the image files to your desktop.
Me: Without the accompanying adjustments?
Support: Yes. Sorry.
Me: Me too.
Anyone have a better idea? I've filed a bug report.....

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

Can't open catalog- Lightroom in Virtualbox, Ubuntu host, Vista Guest

Hey, I'm running Ubuntu as my primary OS, w/ Vista running in Virtual box. My LR catalog exists on my external drive with all my photos. When I open Lightroom and browse for my catalog, it tells me it can't open a catalog from that location because it can't write there (or something to that affect). Anyway, I created the shared folder with full access, and if I browse to that location from Vista (running in vbox) I can create/delete filese there, so I do have write access, but Lightroom doesn't think so.
Is there any simple way to fix this?
Thanks,
BM

oooOOOOOoooohhhh.....
That makes a lot of sense to me now. I know next to nothing about networks, except that you have to map drives to give them a letter... And in my layman's understanding, shared folders from the host to hte guest are treated as network folders.
Ok... Thanks. So, even though I'm not really any closer to a solution (maybe a bit further off??), at least I know why it's acting the way it is...
This is a funny problem- in that it's kind of on the border between a linux, adobe, and virtual box question. I've got threads started on all the forums, you are the first to reply (it's been a couple of days now...).
I also have my computer in a dual boot so I'm not locked out of LR altogether, and for big jobs I'd rather be in a native os than cripple myself with a virtual machine, but for day to day quickie stuff, it'd be nice to not have to reboot to jump into lightroom for a 10min job.

LR2.7 second (new) laptop can't open catalog on external drive

I've installed and updated the same version of LR on a new laptop which I'm still setting up (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). It sounds like it's ok to have two installs for one user at home, but the second one is still in trial mode so far. I wanted to see how much faster/better the new laptop handles the catalog which is on an external drive. The old laptop is Windows XP SP3 32-bit.
If I connect the external drive to the new laptop and try to open the catalog, it says it can't use the catalog "because it is not writable and cannot be opened.
This could be caused by incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog...".
I am an Administrator on both machines. I don't see a lock file, and the Windows permissions for System and Administrators allow all (but Special Permissions is unchecked).
There are some photos on the old c: drive that I haven't copied over yet, but that shouldn't make a difference.
And I can still open the catalog on the old laptop.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I hear that on Win 7, running as Administrator is not sufficient--you need to make sure that your account "owns" the files or directories that it's trying to access.
Also, with LR not running, check in the directory that the catalogue is in and if there's a file with a ".lock" extension, delete it.
