Server lost after update to Sonoma 14.6.1

[Jeroen_Jacobs]

After updating my MacBook Air M1 to Sonoma 14.6.1 I lost any access to Roon, all my saved albums are lost, I followed recommendations which is to rename the server folder to _old and re-download etc. No result. I erased, re-downloaded and re-installed Roon from scratch. No result. The error code I am getting is: “Could not create required lock file”.
Also, since several months, I always had to open the Roon folder and show package content and then had to activate (“open”) the server folder. Only then Roon would be working. This is a hassle. I do suspect the programmers need to optimize the software. Normally, you want to open the app, choose an album to play and lean back…

Hi @Jeroen_Jacobs,

Fatal Error - could not create required lock file

I found another post with the same error. I followed the instructions below in the Mac Terminal app and this cleared the issue: cd /tmp sudo chown $(whoami) /tmp you may have to enter your mac password after the last command. This worked for me.

I did the following solution: found a new server. This worked. I had an immediate connection. Also noticed all of my albums are still there.
