Your config file is corrupted. It is an XML file which has been mangled
The solution is to simply remove the directory containing this config file. The line which makes it clear it
file:///home/soma/.config/tomboy/addin-db-001/config.xml Line 1, position 1
Make sure that tomboy is not running, then run this command
Then start Tomboy, it will create the necessary config file as required
Deleting is not changing anything since the problem was with the config file and not with the actual tomboy installation
Next time you post a question you might want to make sure that when posting the stacktrace you do not put your information like username. You might not mind, I am just informing. Some people consider it personal/private
