Multiple error messages at once, with and without add-ons enabled

[kaliandkanji]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been getting multiple error messages pop up at several times during the day, and usually closing these error messages results in anki freezing and having to close it using the Task Manager, where it always says “anki(6)”, even if there aren’t 6 windows (that I know about at least) up.

It could be related to an add-on, although, even when I disabled all of my add-ons, I kept getting these errors. However, it happens much more frequently when I have add-ons enabled (especially ankiconnect). I have already done Tools>Database numerous times, and unfortunately it hasn’t been helping.

This is an example of one of the pop-up errors I’ve been receiving, although I almost always get numerous of these at the same time:

Error
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.
When you’ve discovered the add-on that is causing the problem, please report the issue on the add-on support site.

I have been trying reconnect but ain't happening

Maybe it’s a similar error as in Mailman 3 Looking for volunteers to test Tulip on Windows - Python-Dev - python.org SSLError(1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:553)’) is being raised in _on_handshake(). This seems to result in the socket being closed without being unregistered from the selector. select() fails before the SSLError gets reported, so it does not appear in the traceback. No idea if it helps, but try to turn off a proxy server (or VPN…

Hi Kelciour,

I’m not super tech-saavy, when I try to input the command in the command prompt, I get:

The system cannot find the path specified.
‘anki-console’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I also tried to delete a bunch of cards I thought might be causing the problem, and downgraded to two earlier versions of anki and I’m still getting errors unfortunately.

[kelciour]

If it’s about this command, maybe Anki was installed in a different folder.

set ANKIDEV=1 & cd \program files\anki & anki-console

If you don’t know what folder it is, right click at Anki’s shortcut > Properties > Open File Location.

Then open a Command Prompt window (cmd) in the same folder.

Quickly Open a Command Prompt from the Windows Explorer Address Bar

And then use the same command but without “& cd \program files\anki”.

set ANKIDEV=1 & anki-console

About earlier Anki versions, maybe try Release 2.1.26 · ankitects/anki · GitHub or Release 2.1.15 · ankitects/anki · GitHub.
