Opensuse 13.2.
I use knotes to store notes that I refer to often. When all is well I see my list of notes when I click on the the yellow icon in the tray. This all worked perfectly for years prior to Opensuse 13.
But since 13.2 when once in a blue moon I have to restart my machine the notes are gone after the restart. Yet I can see the note files in the file system at .local/share/notes/new like this:
270f:~/.local/share> tree notes
notes
├── cur
├── new
│ ├── 1423429589.R318.HPE-270f
│ ├── 1423593419.R985.HPE-270f
│ └── 1426519919.R703.HPE-270f
└── tmp
This is a real pain. It’s like the existing notes are no longer linked to the yellow icon.
What can be done about this?
Not sure if it’s the same problem, but I see something like this once in a while too (1 out of 20 boots or so).
Seems to be a timing problem when knotes is started and Akonadi is not running yet.
Restarting Akonadi should make knotes aware of your notes again:
akonadictl restart
If that doesn’t help, quit knotes and restart it.
Do you see your notes then?
“akonadictl restart” had no affect. I mean that the notes did not come back after this one step.
But then I restarted Knotes and the notes are back!
So I am not sure if I needed both steps or just the latter. The next time I restart the machine I will see.
For now all is good. Thanks for your help.
Probably only the latter then.
It’s been a while since I had to do this.
