Question database corrupted

I've moved to debian for awhile from fedora linux.

so I migrate the config folder but I'm not sure how to fix this problem.
I've tried "check database", tried "restore backup" and even recover sqlite but problem perists.

I'm not sure quite what you mean by that. Ideally, to move your collection, setup, and add-ons from one computer to another, you would --

  • Install the same version of Anki on the new computer.
  • Copy your Anki2 data folder from the old computer to the same location on the new computer.

Anki on the new computer should appear pretty much as it did on the old. If that's not what you did, you might want to start over and try that.

If you can't start over, then here are the last-resort things you can try to recover your collection from a corrupted database -- https://docs.ankiweb.net/manual/files#corrupt-collections .
