I am using Anki on Ubuntu 22.04. When trying to change the deck options or ‘Preferences’ under the ‘Tools’ menu, I get a persistent error message. I have restarted Anki holding shift and I have also re-installed Anki, the problem remains.
This is the error message I get when starting Anki with the shift button held down:
Error
An error occurred. Please use Tools > Check Database to see if that fixes the problem.
If problems persist, please report the problem on our support site. Please copy and paste the information below into your report.

And this is what I get when I start Anki without holding shift:
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-ons section of our support site.

Definitely a problem, as I want to change the ‘New Cards’ limit, and it seems like this hinders me from doing so.
