Clementine crashing on launch

[Bazu135]

I've got a problem attempting to run Clementine. It previously ran without errors, but now it crashes every time I try to start it. When I try to run it through the terminal, I get the following message:

db error:  QSqlError(1, "Unable to execute statement", "unsupported file format") 
faulty query:  "CREATE TABLE directories (
  path TEXT NOT NULL,
  subdirs INTEGER NOT NULL
)" 
bound values:  QMap() 
Unable to update music library database
Aborted (core dumped)

Last time I successfully ran Clementine, it was attempting to update a library, and threw an error message about being unable to do so (I can't remember anything more specific than that; sorry!). Since then, no luck.

I honestly have no idea how to fix this. I thought that maybe a restart, or a reinstall, or an uninstall-restart-install would clear whatever it was attempting to carry out, but these have all failed. I'd guess there's a file I'd need to delete, or a line somewhere that needs to be removed, or maybe an option while launching from the command line, but I have no idea what.

Any ideas?

Try to delete (or just rename it) clementine preference folder, it is hidden somewhere in your home folder.

No problems running Clementine here ...

This fixed it - thank you

For future people stumbling by, I had to delete ~/.config/Clementine - problem immediately resolved
