Works only with home user folder in Ubuntu 12.10

[Nick]

After update from Ubuntu 12.04 to Xubuntu 12.10 - Rednotebook cannot open and cannot create any files anywhere except home user folder...

When I try to create new journal in another folder - it created in my main user folder.

[Jendrik Seipp (jendrikseipp)]

Can you please try to open a journal outside the home user folder and post the log here ($HOME/.rednotebook/rednotebook.log)?

[Nick (nick222-yandex)]

Logfile 1 - try to open journal from /home/user/subfolder. Nothing. Then try to create new journal in /home. File created in /home/user.

Logfile 2 - run "sudo rednotebook". Try to create new journal in /home. File created in /root.

Logfile 3 - try to create new journal in /home. File created in /home/user.

What I must to try else and how?

P.S. Files - in mail.

I think I fixed the bug in the development version. It would be great if you could add the daily-builds ppa, wait for version 1083 to appear and report if this fixes your problem (https://answers.launchpad.net/rednotebook/+faq/1925).

I tried this fix; it only worked once. When I tried to run RedNotebook again, it went back to only opening the home directory.

Also, when it did work (briefly), all the tags in the left cloud panel showed up with a "#" in front of each tag name. But that stopped when RedNotebook went back to only opening the $Home folder.

I've attached a copy of my ~/.rednotebook/rednotebook.log file. The only edit I've made is changing the name of my home directory to $Home.

I also have my journal files in a subdirectory of my Dropbox folder. I don't know if that has any effect on this problem or not.

Thanks!

Are there version 1081 or 1083 ?

[Malcolm Maynard (malkies-mynaardt)]

I had another look at it. From the but report I got, I did this in the terminal:

~$ sudo apt-get install bzr
~$ bzr branch lp:rednotebook
~$ ./rednotebook/run

However, this fix only seem to works if I then run RedNotebook with the following command: $ ./rednotebook/run

This is noticeably slower to start up. And the tag labels in the cloud panel on the left are all preceded by "#". But if I then try to run RedNotebook from the Xfce GUI menu, then it's back to only using $Home.

I've attached a copy of my rednotebook.log file for the session it does work properly, if that's any help.

Thanks.

[Malcolm Maynard (malkies-mynaardt)]

Ooops! Sorry to be a pest...

I also forgot to mention that when I do start up RedNotebook with $ ./rednotebook/run, then RedNotebook starts in preview mode, not edit mode. Hope that's helpful too.

Thanks again!

[Jendrik Seipp (jendrikseipp)]

The fix was made in revision 1083. A deb package for that version (or
later) will appear in the PPA today or tomorrow. Alternatively you can
already do

bzr branch lp:rednotebook
cd rednotebook
./run

The hashtags are not a bug, but a feature :) They are introduced to be
consistent with the #hashtags in the text, that you can add now.

[Jendrik Seipp (jendrikseipp)]

Well, if you run rednotebook from the menu, it will use the installed
1.5 version, but if you run the ./rednotebook/run script, it will use
the fixed 1.6 version.

The 1.6 version opens edited files in preview mode automatically.

[Malcolm Maynard (malkies-mynaardt)]

Thanks; I did not know how to see what revision number I had. I shall check it again tomorrow and see what happens.

Tags are now preceded by the "#" character? So, if I want to type something about "the number six" (bus or train), I should type "# 6" instead of "#6" to avoid creating a tag I don't need?

I was not used to journals opening in edit mode; that is a new feature/change?

Thanks!

Exactly.

Yes, that's new in 1.6. Depending on whether there's already text or
not, it will open in preview or edit mode.

[Nick (nick222-yandex)]

In version 1086 all OK with folders :)

When 1.6 appear in main repository?

Don't know yet ;) It still needs testing, so it would be great if you
could try out the new features (

If I try running RedNotebook from the regular menu launcher, it's still the error-prone v. 1.50.

I still need to run 1.60 using the fix thing (~$ /.rednotebook/run).

This is a bit slow to start, but otherwise, it seems to work just fine once it does start.

When might the full release for 1.60 be available?

[Malcolm Maynard (malkies-mynaardt)]

I've got it updated to version 1.60

And everything is cool now

Hooray! :D

[daguenther (myfeetonarock)]

Thank you, everything works now!

[Nick (nick222-yandex)]

1.6.0-1 from PPA - OK.
Thank You!

[Malcolm Maynard (malkies-mynaardt)]

I see; I did not know how to tell what revision number I had. I don't
know what to look for there.

I shall try again tomorrow and see how that goes.

I understand about the hash tags now. Does this mean you should avoid
using the "#" characters for noting something about numbers? I found some
tags that did not make sense at first (#6 and #26). But when I looked at
those closely, those were bus route numbers I made note of. So if I want
to note something in future about "bus route number 6" I should use "# 6"
instead of "#6", right?

Thanks!

Okay, thanks. I was wondering because I am used to RedNotebook openingn
journals in the edit mode.

This has also been fixed in more recent versions. Pure numbers like
#45427123 are not considered tags anymore.
