Topic: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

hyperbola version: stable
problem: installed rednotebook for the first time, it fails to start when called from GUI, and on the terminal shows this error:

Re: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

Not possible to review for the moment as it works here. Can you please give out more details or try to look for the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'journal'? There should be something missing then on your installation but we need to assure which part and package is then missing I have then installed here.

Re: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

Okay, a picture is now right back clearer: The application in version 2.21 has its problems reported and seems to have problems with load-ordering of the classes. Newer versions are incompatible with gettext-tiny. So there is no other choice as to remove rednotebook.

Re: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

Thanks for looking into this, throgh. Sad news, but it is what it is.

I find myself using the graphical notebook apps because I can't get used to emacs even with org mode... but I might have to try again for the 5th time lol

Re: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

That's a problem with the class-loader of the application in this version. sad
But perhaps there is an alternative with qownnotes.

Unfortunately I also cannot make use of qownnotes because it looks like this, probably not playing nicely with my cwm environment

Re: [solved] rednotebook bug: will not start

Upon further reflection, I think a simple unixy solution for my case would be this:

Have directory of notes, use a tool to search the contents for all files in directory x, edit files with vim/nano/etc. Browse files quickly using ranger.

The tool? grep. For speed and convenience, I added a bash alias: 

alias n="grep -R ~/notes -e"

$ n sxmo
/home/user/notes/do:install sxmo on pinephone

I do not recommend recoll as it is too messy and overcomplicated for this task.
