Can somebody please help with this? I have downloaded the latest desktop update for Windows (1.8.6). When I try to install it, I get as far as “Wiring your knowledge base” and then after a short while, I get the message “Cannot access local database, Automatically restarting” This loop continues and I cannot get out of it without terminating the app using task manager.

I still can’t sync my phone (14 days) and can’t also learn flashcards on my laptop as it makes the app crashes. The web version contain not even the half of my real database as it’s bugging too.
I didn’t receive an answer to my last emails.
Are you still working to fix the problems?
When are the problems going to be fixed?
I had planned to spend time reviewing this summer instead of having a summer job but maybe it was the wrong choice. I need to know what is your schedule to make a choice.

The announcement says “all server-side syncing issues have been resolved” - yet the Android app cannot sync at all, it will display “Syncing” eternally. Last sync was 18 days ago. There is no new version available via the play store.

The first post in this thread by Moritz said so in the first paragraph.
After sleeping on it, I’m actually grateful for the wakeup call. The skeptics were right all the time but I didn’t want to believe it: For personal knowledge bases, use only open file formats like text or markdown. This way it will be readable as long as computers exist. It’s Murphy’s law, every proprietary app will one day fail you and your life’s work will be gone or damaged.
I have now cancelled my premium subscription and will be moving my knowledge base to markdown files that I sync myself, probably with Obsidian as editor. It will be more work now to setup once but it will be worth it because I’ll have no anxiety anymore to loose or corrupt the data. No more sweating whenever a Remnote upgrade is announced.

If you enjoy outline writing, logseq is another great choice.
Some update on this: I have migrated to Obsidian, synced via git on a private Github Repository (on two Linux laptops and two Android devices). It was some work to set it all up and more work to migrate because the RemNote export function is not very good and because it’s another structure - I have to decide which REM is worth its own markdown file and which one will be just a section of the file “above”.
But it was worth it, my fear of loosing my work is gone, I am more motivated to write notes and I observed that I tend to elaborate more on my notes instead of writing just bullet points. The graph view is also much better in Obsidian.
But the Spaced Repetition feature is difficult. There are different plugins in Obsidian but none is really meeting my needs. I exported my flashcards directly to Anki but RemNotes Anki export creates quite ugly and unreadable cards. So I decided to continue to use RemNote for the spaced repetition questions I already have. I’ll create new ones directly in Obsdian and sync to Anki.
One thing that really astonishes me is that Obsidian is bug free. I use a lot of features and plugins and it all just works. This is such a relief. And if an update should be buggy in the future, I can just choose to skip it. Upgrades are opt-out in Obsidian while there are forced in RemNote. This is a HUGE difference. If Obsidian development should come to an end (I don’t think so because the user base is MUCH bigger than RemNote’s, just compare the activity in the two forums) I can just keep the last version forever and use it with my local markdown files.

The same thing happening to me. Have you found a solution to this now?
1.8 is really one of the bad release so far. So many problems. I never lost a knowledge base before, but in 1.8.17(or .18) I lost part of one. For my luck, it was one of the shortest that I had, but I lost about 3 hours of content (course notes) that I was doing and had to do everything again. Today 1.8.19 is not working at all. Probably another Sync issue. Really sad.
Same thing happening to me. Version 1.8.18 on Linux laptop. Although I can barely see “Cannot access local database” error for less than a second, and it doesn’t restart, only shuts down. I am using the web interface for the laptop these days, as a work around.
The same problem to me
Yes, the same to me with 1.18.19 on Ubuntu, still not working.
Just tested 1.18.20 on Linux Mint. Still no go.
“Cannot access local database” error persists even after deleting and allowing the app to recreate the entire local folder under ~/.config/RemNote.
Complained last Friday and get a “This is a bug” answer. No replies after that, so I went to the site and got my download, to my surprise it got a 1.18.21 version; 2 releases in some days!, but if worked no problem, but I had to admit that is annoying. Anyway download, installed and problem presisted. can not acess local… something. I guess that it’s easy to say than to make: “The service was a huge hit, but as time passed by, the company failed to iterate on the product development.
It was not able to meet the expectations of common users. There were many bugs and inconsistencies with the note editor across the platforms, notes were getting vanished or worse corrupted, application response was slow at times, and privacy issues. In this article, we’ll explore some note-taking apps and show you the best Evernote alternatives.” - RemNote

logseq is only for Apple users so far, so I’m out - I’m using Linux and Android on mobile.
