    Your diary file is broken at line 24. In particular the duration value of idle task (0-101523:0-29:0-54) is wrong. Open the file in any plain text editor and fix the value to 00:29:54, save the file, remove the lock file and restart Rachota. It should work. After the update the line 24 should look like this:

    <task state="1" duration="00:29:54">
    

    I hope this helps. And thanks for using Rachota Timetracker! :)
