Having just upgraded to openSUSE 12.2, I have gotten most of it to work well so far. There is one application I use which is important to my work, called Evernote, and I run it in wine. In 12.1, it would synchronize with the server; in 12.2, it does not synchronize.

There are two linux apps in current development, nixnote and everpad, available on sourceforge.com. Why not use one of them? There is also a firefox plugin.

As to the firefox plugin, I am already using it. It works great! Thanks! As to nixnote, I have looked it up and downloaded the .deb file for Ubuntu, and I tried to run alien to build an rpm.

why run alien to build an rpm instead of just dl'ing the rpm ???

Package build failed. Here's the log of the command (cd nixnote-1.2; rpmbuild --buildroot=/home/george/Downloads/nixnote-1.2 -bb --target i386 nixnote-1.2-2.spec): sh: rpmbuild: command not found

rpmbuild is not installed

find nixnote-1.2 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ; rm -rf nixnote-1.2

needs root perms, did you run as root

Any suggestions on what to do next? How would I go about building this package?

instead of mukking around with alien, dl the rpm and be done with it. -- (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

I have installed the nixnote rpm and it was running fine, but one time when I went to update a note, something went wrong and now it won't synchronize. The developer posted a patch and told me that will fix the problem. However, it is in .jar format. What do I do with a .jar format file that contains a patch for another program? Do I just run in a konsole java -jar nixnote.jar? Also, will this affect how java runs in other programs on my computer? -- G.O.

I ran java -jar nixnote.jar in a konsole and I got this message: no main manifest attribute, in nixnote.jar

I checked the .jar archive, and there is a META-INF folder in it with a MANIFEST.MF file in that. That file has one line in it:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Any idea how to fix the .jar archive?

I did find out how to fix the .jar archive. It was a replacement for the nixnote.jar that was in /usr/share/nixnote. Once I replaced it the synchronization began working again. -- G.O.
