Mnemosyne won't open

[wataku...@gmail.com]

I've just downloaded 2.6.1, but I had this problem months ago, when I tried to install numerous Mnemosyne versions.  I uninstalled (each time), used SearchEverything to find anything left behind, and just now installed a new C++ for Windows (x386 version, since that's what Mnemosyne is - isn't it?).

The error message:

---------------------------
Mnemosyne
---------------------------
An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "mnemosyne\pyqt_ui\mnemosyne", line 262, in <module>
  File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.py", line 231, in initialise
  File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\upgrades\upgrade1.py", line 38, in run
  File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\upgrades\upgrade1.py", line 153, in upgrade_from_old_data_dir
  File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\controllers\default_controller.py", line 108, in reset_study_mode
 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'deactivate

The problems first started when I tried to set up to run from a USB drive, which was destroyed at a later point.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi,

Try deleting config.db from Mnemosyne's data directory and try again.

Also make sure you start the program from its officially installed shortcut, and not a modified copy of it.

Cheers,

Peter

Peter,

Thank you - deleting the db file was all it took.  (I should not have tried getting fancy and fooling around with "roaming."  New plan:  if you don't need something, leave it alone.)

While I kept having increasing problems with Mnemosyne I tried most of the other flashcard programs at SourceForge (simplistic) and finally Anki, but relearning how to do something is worse than learning it in the first place, and Mnemosyne made it easy to write all kinds of autohotkey scripts that I dreaded trying to rewrite for Anki.  (Besides, they have used up so many hot keys it was definitely not going to be fun, since I've been away from it as long as language study in general.)  It feels like getting my brain back, having Mnemosyne simply start up.  I did something - probably a series of somethings - to most of my old files, so I think maybe it's time to learn how to use SQLite and see if I can keep it in better shape this time.

Thanks again.
