Unable to start zotero In ubuntu 18.04 (Gtk-WARNING: Theme parsing error)
Hello,
A few days ago I have encountered a problem which makes me unable to start Zotero, I have no idea how it went well but I am able to start it now. And now, the problem is back and the message is like this.
"There was an error starting Zotero.
You can report this problem in the Zotero Forums.
_initDB<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/zotero.js:781:12"
I tried to use the startup error report thing, but the debug report is always blank, I can't get any useful information from there. The only thing I have is the message in the terminal. After a few tries, I have these:
JavaScript error: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js, line 669: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: attempt to write a readonly database [QUERY: REPLACE INTO settings VALUES ('db', 'integrityCheck', 1)] [PARAMS: ] [ERROR: attempt to write a readonly database]"
[unrelated messages removed — D.S.]
In fact, I have tried to load the older library, it worked. I guess it might have some problem to do with the system language changing. But after all it would be difficult to afford losing the works done in a few weeks. So I am seeking for help.
Thank you.

In my Ubuntu there is no security software or something like that. Still curious about what actually is going on.
It's almost certainly something to do with the file permissions — owner or mode — and a VM/dual-boot that shared files could easily contribute to that. Absolutely nothing to do with a language setting.
Is there a way to deal with it if it happens again?
