Anyone have nixnote 1 or 2 working on 14.1?

Shay · 07-12-2015, 07:18 AM

There's a slackbuild for 14.1, but it doesn't work, even with an updated nixnote.jar.

I installed JDK successfully with the slackbuild (manual download as described)

versions of Nixnote installed:
* SBo Nixnote 1.6
* Deb (extract and makepkg) Nixnote 1.5
* Deb (extract and makepkg) Nixnote 1.6

All results were identical. Nixnote launches, but cannot connect. When I click connect, the box appears then immediately disappears, and I get this error:

Code:

OAuth error creating temporary token

Others have had this problem, and, at some point, a patched nixnote.jar was created. It can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/neve...hes%20-%201.5/

After patching, clicking connect allows me to enter my Evernote login information, but I get this message:

Code:

Oops, we encountered an error.

Page not found
The location you provided is not valid. (/nnoauth)

After this, I get an e-mail from Evernote letting me know that Nixnote WAS authorized, but I cannot sync.

Other people using other distros have followed these same steps with the same results: http://sourceforge.net/p/nevernote/support-requests/25/ .

It looks like Evernote changed something and broke Nixnote 1. I will file a report with SBo.

Are you on a 32 bit machine or 64 bit machine?

Here is the output I get while attempting to build nixnote. There seems to be a problem with the jdk package.

Code:

root@slackware:~# sbopkg -i nixnote

Here is where to get the files:

I am not really sure where to find the direct link to each file though.

EDIT: Looks like I get a 302 response when I try to download the file manually using the URL in the .info

As suggested in this post on stackoverflow, a cookie is required with wget to download this file. I was able to download the file using the following wget flags:

Code:

wget --no-check-certificate -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u45-b14/jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz

wget --no-check-certificate -c --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u45-b14/jdk-8u45-linux-i586.tar.gz

I am not sure how to do this in sbopkg, or if sbopkg can even do this.

You will also need to install openjdk. You can compile it from source using SBo or install it using AlienBOB's package here:

Thank you, all.

I'm using 64 bit. I have installed and tested the JDK slackbuild. No luck. I've tried:

Nixnote (1.6) slackbuild
Nixnote 1.5 deb
Nixnote 1.6 deb
Replacing nixnote.jar with an updated nixnote.jar with each.

It works here using the SBo-package on Slackware 14.1 64-bit.

SBo JDK and SBo Nixnote?

jdk I install manually using the Slackbuild (I download jdk manually), and then SBo Nixnote.

Are you able to connect to an Evernote account? I can open Nixnote, but I cannot connect. I've installed the same things the same way as you.

I don't use Nixnote or Evernote myself, so I can't help you any further.

Your original question was for help installing Nixnote on Slackware. I don't use this software either. I think it's a bit heavy weight for a note taking software. I use Zim Wiki.

If you need help using Nixnote, you should check out the support page on source forge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/neve...?source=navbar

Correct. I did not anticipate a non-user would be generous enough to attempt an install to help me. Thank you very much.

I've taken some notes and will update the original question and file a bug report to SBo. I'm not sure it's something that can be updated from SBo; however, if the package no longer works, SBo might want to take it down.

This is actually pretty common with this community. One of the many things I love about it
