[opensuse] botched install of keepnote

Hi everyone, I messed up something, and I need help in trying to fix it. As I am researching the best note taking programs, I stumbled across keepnote. I want a python based program instead of a java based program; hence this is better than evernote if it works well. But as I looked through, I did not know if the rpm was checked out for opensuse, so I decided to install the tarball instead. It is supposed to be platform independent, and I have done this for some other applications I needed, so it seemed like a good idea. The command I had used to install the tarball version was as follows. I simply navigated to the extracted directory where the setup.py script was, and typed (as root) python setup.py install This ran a script and created directorys in /usr/<something> in order to run keepnote. Well, I get a series of errors when I try to run keepnote and some of the gui doesn't function all that well. Here are the errors: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- george@linux-o3ef:~/Documents> keepnote ============================================== KeepNote 0.7.8: Fri Nov 2 21:09:54 2012 ** (process:2205): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' ** (process:2205): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' ** (process:2205): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' enabling extension 'keepnote' enabling extension 'backup_tar' enabling extension 'new_file' enabling extension 'editor_insert_date' enabling extension 'command_basics' enabling extension 'export_html' enabling extension 'python_prompt' enabling extension 'notebook_http' (keepnote:2205): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_qdata: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (keepnote:2205): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_qdata: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, rather than trying to troubleshoot all these errors which are a bit beyond my understanding, I did a package search on opensuse.org, and lo and behold, there was a keepnote rpm that was already set up and ready to run. It is not in the regular repositories, but it has been tested (to some degree). So I downloaded the rpm and went to install it instead of the tarball package (not knowing how to uninstall the version I installed from the tarball). However, since I ran the keepnote setup from the tarball before, it did something and put the keepnote from the tarball into my system instead of the rpm version. So here is the question. How do I uninstall keepnote that was installed from the tarball and make sure that when I issue the command 'keepnote', it runs what I installed from the rpm? I am uncertain about where and how program files are kept. I ran the "find" command as follows, and here are the directories where anything with "keepnote" is located: --------------------- george@linux-o3ef:~/Documents> find /usr -name keepnote /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keepnote /usr/local/bin/keepnote /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/keepnote /usr/share/doc/packages/keepnote /usr/bin/keepnote ----------------------- Thanks in advance for your help. -- G.O.

Hi, FWIW, the next Wine snapshot release will see Evernote working again hopefully as the SSL/TLS bug was fixed yesterday in GIT. Ciao, Marcus On Fri, Nov 02, 2012 at 09:29:48PM +0800, George Olson wrote:

Ciao, Marcus
Thanks, that is good to know. I will look forward to getting the patch and running it directly in Wine instead of PlayOnLinux. keepnote is written in python, while Evernote is written in Java, so I was thinking that it would be good to try a python based application. -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How long typically does it take from the time something is fixed in GIT until it makes it into the update repository? -- George Olson Box #1: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.1 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 12.2 | KDE 4.9.2 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB learning openSUSE and loving it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I really depends on how anxious *you* are for the release :^). and *many* other factors. Best answer, the time it takes for it to be ready. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
