I am having the same qgis.db error using a Windows Farm environment with profiles stored on a network drive. It appears to be a problem with the delay in synchronizing the directory with the server
After getting this error and closing QGIS 3, we find ourselves in the following situation 1. We open msys. 2. We cd to the parent of the profiles directory. 3. We ls. profiles does not exist. 4. We mkdir foo. That is successful. So we have permissions. 5. We cannot mkdir profiles. That is an error from the file system, because it thinks profiles exists already. 6. We cannot remove profiles, because the system thinks it is in use by another program. Restarting QGIS doesn't work. The only solution we have found is to completely log the user out of the system, log back in, copy a dummy profile to the profile location, and start QGIS 3. This is happening to 1 out of 4 new users on our system, as we move them from QGIS 2 to QGIS 3. (QGIS 2 never had this problem.) Since we have 50 users, we are going to each user and doing their first startup and settings personally, using the dummy profile. This isn't so bad, since it helps make sure the user's environment is just as they want it, but I would be happier if the profile problem wasn't there.

Somehow I un-docked my Layer Panel and now it just floats over the display, which now takes up all the space on my screen. So the Layer Panel obscures the left side of the display of the map/data. I have tried moving the panel all the way to the left to see if it will dock again for me, without joy. I have also tried the same thing moving it to the right. I have even uninstalled and installed the program again, and it has the same problem. Before this happened I think I clicked a little icon next to the "x" at the right hand upper corner of the Layer Panel . This has disappeared now but it might have had somehting to do with the undocking of the panel. Any help much appreciated. Susan. -- Carra Lodge Pound road Carrabaun Westport Co.

Check whether one of the parent directories of ~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles is not writable by your user - that might be a result of copying a profile earlier or running something as root without resetting HOME.
