This is usually an indication that DuckDB can't write to the .duckdb folder. This could be due to configuration or other aspect of your environment.

Some information that would help:

• Do you have a ui.db file under .duckdb/extension_data/ui?
• Did you launch duckdb in read-only mode?
• What platform are you running on?
• Do you have any non-standard config for duckdb, or for your home folder?
• Does this happen every time you launch the UI, or just sometimes?

Possibly not the best advice, especially if you have a long-standing DuckDB installation (I didn't), I just deleted the ~/.duckdb folder (under user home) - I'm on Mac (same for Linux):

rm -fr ~/.duckdb

Again, be careful.

After updating the DuckDB extension on my Mac I had this error. Removing the .duckdb/extension_data directory resolved it though I lost all previous history.
