Does anyone have Knotes on their panel and uses them in either Mandriva LE2005 or MDV2006?

If so, what happens when you click on the panel Knotes icon?

Thanks,

Richard L.

Hi there, when I click the icon in the panel it show`s the note I made, if there are no notes I get a little tooltip that says `no notes`
If I right click it, I get a menu.

Hope that helps

Which distro are you using?

Mandriva 2006, but it was the same in LE 2005, I know because I use knotes a lot

Are you having a problem with it?

Thanks aerogate. Here is my problem....

I have always added knotes to my panel by right-clicking the panel > Add to panel >Application>Office>Accessories> Knotes.

This adds the icon to the panel. Since MDK 9.0 - MDK 10.0, I could launch knotes with this panel shortcut, and another knotes icon would appear in the system tray (where the volume icon ,etc. are) along with a blank note on the desktop.

From MDK10.2 - MDV2006, Kontakt (not knotes alone) opens up with a small error window on top of it that states: "KDEInit could not launch 'Kontakt-knotes.sh', and the Knotes icon never appears in the system tray.

I just discovered that I can get knotes to work if I open a terminal and type knotes.

If I can't get it to work with a shortcut icon on the panel, how do I get it to work at startup, so that I don't have to open a terminal????

I appreciate your help aerogate and help from all others.

Hi there,

I launch it from kmenu/office/accessories/knotes

then, aslong as i dont quit knotes, it loads on next reboot each time

When I use Kmenu/Office/Accessories/Knotes, in both MDV2005LE on my desktop and in MDV2006 on my laptop, Kontakt opens up. On the title bar of the Kontakt window it says Notes-Kontakt.

Just checked, and my knotes icon launches the command :-
kontact-knotes.sh

Here is a video on what it looks like when it`s funtioning correctly :-

Thanks so much aerogate. I am very impressed with your video and the time and trouble you took for me. Wow!

When I do it like the video in both MDV05LE and MDV06, I get Kontakt coming up and not the knotes in the systray with a yellow note on the desk.

However, Good News! I discovered a workaround. I only have to do this once: open a terminal and type "knotes" (without the quotes) and Knotes sits in the system tray next to the volume icon for yellow sticky notes. When I reboot or boot the computer now into MDVxxxx, it is already there on startup.

Many, many thanks for all that you did!

Your welcome glad you found the workaround
