won't start

[polynomialspac3]

hi, the notes up crashes on start. i don't care for this to be fixed a the moment but i can't find the directory in which the program saved all the already existing notes. please i've lost everything i've written in the past 8 months.

Hey! I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with the app crashing :( Your notes should be in a "database" file located on your home directory at .local/share/notes-up/

Do you mind running G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all com.github.philip_scott.notes-up on a terminal and sharing the output here?

Hey. I have the same problem and have run the command.

This is the output.

Would be great if you could find a way to fix this.

Mmmm I think I need a bit more information.

• I see that the log says MANJARO. What distro and version are you using?
• How did you install notes-up?
• When did it start breaking? (Or when was the last time you used it before it started breaking?

[7r33]

I'm using manjaro and installed it from the Official repository (extra).

It broke around the time of the last manjaro update: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2023-09-18-kernels-mesa-pipewire-systemd-libreoffice-kde-thunderbird/148194

notes-up version 2.0.6-2

[Philip-Scott]

So I'm not actually the one hosting the one on the Manjaro repo. But there is a Flatpak hosted by the community which may work better: https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.philip_scott.notes-up

My guess is that Manjaro has updated dependencies that do not work with the current version of Notes-up. (Probably a new GKT version)

I'm not going to be able to debug & fix this super quickly, but do you mind trying out the Flatpak to see if it at least makes the app run?

Not sure how old that version also is, but you can always make a backup of .local/share/notes-up/ just in case :)

[polynomialspac3]

I also have manjaro, so i think me and @7r33 have the same problem
