Cannot save a record in the Console

So to get a record in the User model I run

 @user = User.find(1)

Then to change an attribute:

 @user.active = false

It then returns false

When I run 

 @user.save

I get

(0.2ms)  BEGIN
(0.3ms)  SELECT 1 FROM `users` WHERE (LOWER(`users`.`username`) = LOWER('sean') AND `users`.`id` != 1) LIMIT 1
(0.3ms)  SELECT 1 FROM `users` WHERE (LOWER(`users`.`email`) = LOWER('[email protected]') AND `users`.`id` != 1) LIMIT 1
(0.6ms)  ROLLBACK
 => false

Had the same issue. Doing this managed to solve it:

@user.save(validate: false)

Try this to see if errors are being thrown

@user.save!

If your @user.save is returning false then it means there's an error and something is preventing it from being saved. You can use @user.errors at that point to see what the errors are.
