I get this error very often. At about every 10th synchronization.

Afterwards I normally delete the Mnemosyne folder and start the sync again. It's quite annoying since it takes very long.

Screenshots attached

The Mnemosyne UI crashed on the PC. The Mnemosyne process was still running in the background (task manager). And also two Qt Web Engines.

Hi,

Is the crash first on Android and then on your pc?

I guess you're using data_dir.txt to move your database to an external sd card? The error indicates that Mnemosyne is not able to access the database anymore. It could be your sd card is dying. Can you try with another card?

Also, on my phone, I cannot just put the data anywhere on the card, it needs to be in a specific folder :

/storage/3738-3234/Android/data/org.mnemosyne/files

Do you get the same error if you run from internal storage?

Cheers,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I have the impression, that Mnemosyne crashes first on the PC and then I get an error message on my smartphone. (I have attached another, recent error message.) It happens pretty much at the same time, therefore it is hard to tell, which software produces an error first. This time the error message from the phone is the following: "Connection reset by peer". This sounds like the PC cuts the connection. Mnemosyne crashed on the PC completely this time, without leaving processes running in the background.

My phone has a functionality to move apps to the SD-card (see screenshots attached). But I don't have the option to use it for Mnemosyne. It's greyed out.

I have checked, if there is another option to move Mnemosyne to a different location. I found some preferences, which might help to install Mnemosyne at the internal storage (see screenshots attached). I have changed the preferences (from "before" to "after"; see file names of screenshots attached). Unstalled Mnemosyne and deleted the Mnemosyne folder from the SD-card. Afterwards I reinstalled Mnemosyne on the phone and syncronized it with the PC. Apparently Mnemosyne does always get installed to "/sdcard" on my phone, which ever preferences I use.

No, I did not use the "datadir.txt" file to move data to the SD card (here is how to do this: https://mnemosyne-proj.org/help/android-client). The SD card seems to be the default location for apps on my phone.

Maybe I have screwed up my smartphone? I might have to reset my smartphone and try again.

I found another bug, while trying to reproduce the error. Open any card in edit mode FROM the card browser, and then try to sync. Since the database is locked, Mnemosyne throughs an error and freezes (see error below). After a pretty long while, it unfreezes.



Have a nice weekend!


Cheers,

Abakus

Hi,

 

If you think it crashes first on PC, what is the error message you get on PC?

 

Could it be that your wifi connection is unstable?

 

I’ve added the issue related to incoming syncs when the card browser is open to my todo list.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Hi Peter,

I don't get an error message on the PC. Mnemosyne's GUI just disappears. Sometimes some processes still keep running in the background, but sometimes even those vanish.

My wifi is stable, that's for sure.

Mnemosyne has graphical bugs (statistics windows) on my PC. I had posted screenshots in this group a while ago. This situation is still the same today. Uninstalling an reinstalling didn't help.

I'll try to debug this a little more.

Good night!

Cheers,

Abakus

Mnemosyne on the PC crashed while sending files.

Prior to syncing I only edited some tags and added tags to some other cards. Some of those cards I had imported from Anki. Some of those cards had duplicate parent tags, e.g. "Turkish, Turkish::Basics" I deleted the "Turkish" tag and kept the "Turkish::Basics" tag.

Hi,

 

Could you remind me again what your desktop platform is and what version of Mnemosyne you’re running?

 

Hard crashes of Mnemosyne without any error message and that I can’t reproduce myself will be very tricky to debug…

 

Thanks!

 

Peter

Hi Peter,

Windows 10 Home, 64 Bit, 12 GB RAM, 2.7 GHz, i7

Mnemosyne 2.6.1 on PC

Mnemosyne 2.1 on smartphone (most recent version)

I can not reproduce it. It's somehow connected to editing cards.

I just found another bug:  doubleclick on a tag's name in the tag tree to edit the name. Change the tag's name. Click somewhere else to finish the operation. The tag name will be displayed like this: "ParentTag::TagName". It should be displayed like this: "TagName". Close the card browser and reopen it. The tag is not renamed!!!!

Good night!

Cheers,

Abakus

Hi,

 

OK, if you manage to reproduce it, or get some informative error messages, do let me know!

 

The other bug with regards to tag editing I could reproduce, though. I’ve put it on my todo list.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
