Saved file is empty (0B)

After saving file Remarkable crashes and saved file is empty. Antergos Linux, KDE Plasma

Could you post the output from pacman -Qi remarkable? Also, is this your first time using remarkable or did this issue come after upgrading? tors 8 mars 2018 kl. 20:38 skrev Mati20187 notifications@github.com:

It's my first time using Remarkable. pacman Qi output: Name : remarkable Version : 1.87-2 Description : A free fully featured markdown editor for Linux.

I can not reproduce this on my computer.

Could you try to clone this repo and see if it works to install that instead? https://aur.archlinux.org/remarkable-webkit2gtk.git

[Mati20187]

I can't install this package. During the install it shows me that it needs "remarkable" package.

looking for conflicting packages... :: remarkable-webkit2gtk and remarkable are in conflict. Remove remarkable? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: remarkable-webkit2gtk: requires remarkable

looking for conflicting packages... :: remarkable-webkit2gtk and remarkable are in conflict. Remove remarkable? [y/N] n error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: remarkable-webkit2gtk and remarkable are in conflict

No matter what i do (remove remarkable or not) it doesn't want to install it because they are either in conflict or need each other

[mbloms]

Ah sorry about that. You need to check out an earlier commit. I think it should be fefb51d but you could try a later too if that doesn't work. Please let me know if you get it to work that way.

[Mati20187]

This is what I've ended up with: mati@root ~ $ cd remarkable-webkit2gtk/ mati@root ~/remarkable-webkit2gtk $ ls 0003-fixes-184-port-to-WebKit2Gtk.patch Remarkable-1.87 remarkable.patch 0004-fixes-175-Live-Preview-Mode-Executes-JavaScript.patch notes src LICENSE remarkable-webkit2gtk-1.87-5.src.tar.gz v1.87.tar.gz PKGBUILD remarkable.install mati@root ~/remarkable-webkit2gtk :( $ chmod +x remarkable.install mati@root ~/remarkable-webkit2gtk $ ./remarkable.install

Before that, I ran makepkg -S and untared made packages. There's no Remarkable installed after this. Probably it's just my mistake, I hardly ever install packages manually

[mbloms]

Oh. You should never untar packages manually. Always install using pacman -U <package>.tar.xz or use makepkg -i for install after build. Learning how to do this manually is recommended if you're going to use the AUR.

This is what I wanted you to try:

> git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/remarkable-webkit2gtk.git
> git checkout fefb51d
> makepkg -si

If you unpacked a package manually before, you might have to remove some files if pacman complains about them, or just use pacman -U --force to overwrite them.

Do you think you could try to see if that works? If it doesn't, could you run start remarkable through the terminal and then post the output after it crashes?

[Mati20187]

Installation is successful but unfortunately the same problem occurs as with standard remarkable.

[mbloms]

Ok. This means there's at least nothing wrong with the new packaging. (You could switch back to regular remarkable in AUR.) What happens if you start remarkable in the terminal by just typing remarkable? This is what looks like for me when I open remarkable and save a file:

micke@Humlan ~> remarkable

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Is there any error messages before crashing?

[Mati20187]

This is what it shows after trying to save file and crashing: Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/remarkable/RemarkableWindow.py", line 444, in on_menuitem_save_as_activate self.save_as(self) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/remarkable/RemarkableWindow.py", line 458, in save_as file.write(text) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u0105' in position 64: ordinal not in range(128) It's unicede error so i just want to let you know I use polish characters like: ą ę ó ł ż ź. Maybe that causes a problem

[mbloms]

There has been some problems with people using non-english letters. It seems related to spellchecking. Your problem also seems similar to #241.

I've moved spellcheck from "required" to "optional". Can you install the latest remarkable from AUR and make sure to remove python-gtkspellcheck with pacman -Rs python-gtkspellcheck?

[Mati20187]

I've removed python-gtkspellcheck but the same problem occurs. I haven't changed spellcheck to "optional", because I couldn't find this option in Remarkable

[mbloms]

@Mati20187 you misunderstood me. I meant I updated the package in AUR so that python-gtkspellcheck is no longer a dependency for remarkable.

Your problem is very weird. It seems Remarkable is trying to save your file using ascii encoding. I see no reason why it would do this.

Have you tried opening a file saved as UTF-8 and saving it again? What's the encoding specefied in your locale?

[Mati20187]

Yes, I've tried to open file encoded as utf-8. It opens normally but when I try to save it, Remarkable saves it as empty file and crashes

[msoes]

Happened to me as well. Opened remarkable, edited for a day, saved every now and then, and finally crashed with an empty file.

Ubuntu 18.04LTS, python 3.6.5, installed the debian package.
