Can't open NixNote2 from Linux Mint Cinnamon menu #162

Closed fixxOrz closed 4 years ago

fixxOrz commented 4 years ago

When I click the icon in the menu, the cursor spins for a few seconds, then nothing happens. NixNote doesn't open. To open NixNote I have to use sudo from the terminal: sudo nixnote2

I added the NixNote PPA to get the latest version, and it installed my config files in /root/.config/nixnote2 and my data files in /root/.local/share/nixnote2. I'm thinking I need to use sudo because those files are in root.

I read the FAQ on how to change the location of both to $HOME. I followed the directions (nixnote2 --configDir=$HOME/.config/nixnote2 --dataDir=$HOME/.local/share/nixnote2), but NixNote was empty and prompted me to login to Evernote again (which I was unable to do and will probably open a separate issue for). In either case, opening NixNote with the the --configDir=$HOME/.config/nixnote2 and --dataDir=$HOME/.local/share/nixnote2 parameters seems like an ad hoc "fix"—it doesn't reconfigure NixNote to continue looking in those places.

Can I edit the config file to designate those $HOME directories, so NixNote looks at those places every time?

OS: Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon

Version: 202005061502-2.1.6-ubuntu20.04.1

hi, by using sudo you started Nixnote with $HOME=/root, therefore it saved data to directories of root.. I suggest

If it does not work, you can post copy of log file here. If for some reason .. all fails... you ca try uninstall Nixnote and use AppImage version.

Hi robert7, thanks for responding and so quickly. I have done as you instructed. Here is the log file:

It seems there is a crash in web rendering library (WebKit). I suggest look at https://github.com/robert7/nixnote2/wiki/HowTo---What-to-do-if-the-app-crashes As next step I suggest try the AppImage version. This has all libraries bundled in. This eliminates local dependency problem.

I tried to get the qt version working, but it threw up the same error. I installed the AppImage, and that worked! Thank you!
