anki.errors.DBError: DbError { info: “SqliteFailure(Error { code: DatabaseCorrupt, extended_code: 11 }, Some(“database disk image is malformed”))”, kind: Other }
As a first solution they offered(Switch the profile) I did it but then this message occured. I don’t know what to do. I have to study my decks on the internet and it’s getting boring without add-ons.
If your collection was saved on AnkiWeb, you could force changes in one direction and download it from there, overwriting your corrupted one. You may lose your images or audio if the option “Synchronize audio and images too” on the preferences wasn’t checked the last time you synced successfully.
Is that right @dae ?
If you open the Switch Profile screen, create a new profile, and open it, does it open correctly? If so, you should be able to either import a backup into it (one that is old enough that it was created before the problem started), or synchronize your decks from AnkiWeb as @01101 suggested.
Hello guys, I solved the problem myself by downloading the old version. The new version is problematic with me. Idk why. If you have the same problem you can download the old version that might help you. Thanks for your comments.
I experienced this problem, as well–I wasn’t able to use the suggested Switch Profile option suggested above because of the error nir1a explained with a screenshot in Post #11 above: after clicking Switch Profile, Anki displays the error message “Your collection file appears to be corrupt. …” and then displays a “Backing Up…” progress popup that never ends. At that point, Anki is frozen.
I think the corruption occurred because I was backing up the Anki2 folder using Google Drive, which I just learned is an unsupported practice that’s know to cause issues. I was using my laptop offline a lot, and there may have been some sudden disconnections, which would affect both Anki and Google Drive sync.
Here’s how I solved it without having to revert to an older Anki version. Note: I had automatic backups enabled, so no local data was lost, but even if you don’t have a local backup, this process will also enable you to “Switch Profile” and sync from the web:
Close Anki (Force Quit/End Task if necessary).
Rename the profile folder in the Anki2 folder (find that by reading the Anki manual: Managing Files/File Locations) by appending “_OLD” (don’t delete; it contains automatic backups and media files. FYI, the default profile name is User 1.
Open Anki. Dismiss prompts about empty collections.
Restore a backup that you would find in the backups folder in the “_OLD” profile folder you just renamed, or restore from another .colpkg file, or sync all changes from AnkiWeb to the new profile (please research how to do that if it’s your only option–it’s beyond this post’s scope).
