Looks like your Mnemosyne files are stored on an external drive which is mounted with the wrong permissions. I don't know what OS you're running, but guessing Ubuntu or some other Debian-based system. You could try the brute force "chown -R federico:federico /media/federico", but it might be better to fix the ACL permissions as detailed in this Ask Ubuntu answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/810181/318742

Thank you! that fixed it

[Peter Bienstman]

You can try to do ‘file – open’ to explicitly tell Mnemosyne which database to load.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
