Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

You´re welcome :)

Even if you can compile it on the Mac the problem still is, that Gnote has no support for sync. This might save you some time ;)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Yeah, But I was also thing of doing a rsync set up and do it manually sorta. As long as I have backup it good enough for me now. Since I mainly live on this device and not on desktop/laptop, syncing is less important than having a good backup...for now.

keep on rock'n

ps, if you around stgrt in july pm me I'll buy ya a beer..;)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Ok, fair enough :) If it´s more about backups, rsync should be fine.

Might actually happen - beware ;)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I created a ubuntu account so I can now have online back up. Previously what I was doing was a long process of copying all notes to my home directory then copying to PC and putting in the Tomboy folder.

However, I am unable to get the ubuntu synch working. Each time I try to synch I get an Internal Error Conboy will now close message.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?

I have over 200 notes so don't know if that is what is causing the problem. Will be a shame if I cannot synch cause of the number of notes.

Also any possibility of creating folders as you can in Tomboy (or is it briefcase it is called - not sure)? That would be really cool and make it easier for me to sort my many notes.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

That sounds like a plain programming error and nothing regarding the number of your notes.

Help me help you ;) Could you please start Conboy from the terminal and send the output you get there to me. At least the last couple of lines before the crash.

Folders (aka notebooks) are not yet supported. There is an enhancement request for it in bugzilla, but currently my focus is still on the synchronization. However, the relation between notes and notebooks are preserved during sync. So you still have them in the correct notebook in Tomboy.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Thanks. Not sure if I am doing it right and sending you the right thing to assess cause of the synch error but when I start terminal and type Conboy I get error message for a few notes as shown in the image [Loading Error].

When I synch and Conboy closes due to the error I get these (at the top of terminal and bottom) as shown in images [Synch Error Top and Synch Error Bottom]

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Just as a friendly tip, it is probably preferable to copy and paste the error messages as text rather than as screenshots, as text is easier to read and will come up in searches too.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Yea, text would be better next time ;)

It looks like you have at least 2 corrupted notes and it could be that they are messing up the sync. I'll run some tests tomorrow, maybe I can reproduce it.

If you want to try something, you could move the two notes starting with 2af63c59 and dc20eale out of the /home/user/.conboy/ folder and try again. In xterm this would be:

With those commands you move them into your home folder where Conboy won't try to load them. Also if those two notes do not contain any sensitive data, you could send them to me via PM. It could maybe help me debug this problem.

If this is all too scary, please wait a bit. I'm continuously tweaking the sync process, so it might just work in the next version. Still, input from your side could help a lot.

Thanks for reporting this.

[Edit: I've read your original post again, so I assume you're familiar with coping files on linux etc. That will certainly help :)]

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Thanks. Moved the files that had error messages in xterm when starting conboy and no longer get the error messages but still get error when trying to synch.

Happy to send you the files to examine but don't know how to send files on this site.
