This, along with the message from the activity manager - "KActivities: Database can not be opened in WAL mode. Check the SQLite version (required >3.7.0). And whether your filesystem supports shared memory" - means you have problems with your home directory, insufficient space, privileges, filesystem errors, or something similar.
Or, is your home a network mount?
I'm marking this report as 'invalid' since it is a setup issue, but we should get to the bottom of it nevertheless. So, please post anything else that you can discover regarding your home directory.
This issue occurred immediately after the upgrade to the latest LTS, there have been no such problems for the past three years. Home drive is not a network mount, it is a drive on this computer. File system does have enough space: temple@ubuntu:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev 4025932 0 4025932 0% /dev tmpfs 809024 9944 799080 2% /run /dev/sda1 40186200 17259396 20862372 46% / tmpfs 4045108 74888 3970220 2% /dev/shm tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock tmpfs 4045108 0 4045108 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sdb2 204441596 179996848 24444748 89% /media/Windows8.1 /dev/sdb3 1912067604 20730672 1794186468 2% /media/TestBackup /dev/sda4 1843996612 1593704132 156599860 92% /Data cgmfs 100 0 100 0% /run/cgmanager/fs /dev/sde1 8454885252 6114842360 1910552720 77% /media/DROBO tmpfs 809024 20 809004 1% /run/user/1000 let me know what information you need and I will add it to the issue. Which file-system is on /Data? are you able to edit .config/katerc file (for example, in vim or something) and save it. Then confirm the data has been written? Having 92% of a partition used might lead to insufficient disk space problems since on most file-systems, a few percent (usually around 5%) is 'reserved' for the root user. Which means that the regular user will never be able to fill the whole hard drive. I would advise to free more space on the /Data partition. Hi Ivan, thank you for the suggestion. It turns out that the following files in .config had ownership of root, rather than the user:
kactivitymanagerdrc
katemetainfos
katepartrc
katerc
katevirc
I changed ownership to my user and now the errors stop. I can't say how those files had been set to root ownership, and I don't know if they were changed or what their original ownership was. And I don't know if the upgrade process was the cause, but there definitely wasn't an issue before the upgrade.
The issue definitely wasn't the disk space or the file-system.
Thank you anyway for the suggestion.

Great that we got to the bottom of it. Issues like these are always the worst ones to catch since you do not expect them. :) |
