Is your home directory on an NFS share? We have seen this issue a couple of
times, where it can't even create an sqlite database. It will be fixed (in
that it will stop trying and use a fallback) in the next release. In the
meantime, you can work around it with a config setting like:

c.HistoryAccessor.hist_file = '/path/to/local-scratch/ipython-history.sqlite'

Where the path should be on a non-NFS filesystem.

Here's the PR fixing it: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/9418
