Running Nixnote (Nevernote) Problem

English Applications
#1

I’m an openSUSE newbie and have tried to find an Evernote substitute package in the repositories but haven’t been able to find one. Elsewhere online I have found Everpad which looks really good but seems like it was developed for Ubuntu. The other one I found was Nixnote (Neverpad) which I downloaded and then installed via Apper. The installation was successful but when I go to run Nixnote all that happens is a Nixnote tab in my Taskbar opens and then after a few seconds closes. There’s a nixnote directory in usr/share that looks good but the application just won’t work.

I’m using a Thinkpad T61, openSUSE 12.3 KDE. Here is the output from Konsole when I try to launch Nixnote. Any ideas what I can do to get this working? Or if there is Nixnote or Everpad in a repository somewhere?

Some sort of depency problem seems to be there “libpng12”
If you got the rpm from here NixNote - Browse /Current at SourceForge.net
then better way would be

su-
zypper in /<full-path>/nevernote*.rpm

Installing thourgh YaST and zypper might let you resolve dependencies much easier than with apper.

#3

Yes I got it from Sourceforge. After your suggestion I installed it with Zypper but have got the same results. Last night I installed it on a Crunchbang partition I have and it it went fine. Oh well I guess it’s not essential, I have the web clipper and I can use the Evernote site online.

#4

Some one created an awful rpm which doesn’t pull in all the required libraries.
I don’t use evernote. But out of curoisity i downloaded and installed that rpm from sourceforge
When i launched that from terminal i got a similar error

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/QtJambi_tom_amd64_4.5.2_01_gcc-20090628-2055/lib/libQtGui.so.4: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Since the program says that it cannot “get” the shared libary there was only one thing to do . Install / give that shared library to nixnote
then i did

su -
zypper in libpng12

Then launched it again and success

#5

Ha! I had considered doing that but as I am somewhat of a newbie I thought best to play it safe. Interestingly using

su -
zypper in libpng12

didn’t work for me so I opened Yast and searched for libpng12 which then gave me a result for libpng12-0. Anyway I installed that using zypper and now I have Nixnote running. Thank you!

#6

you are welcome
Note:- i forgot an wildcard () at the end of zypper command. It should have been "zypper in libpng12"

There is a good option to find/search packages names using zypper and get correct name from output

zypper se libpng12

That is useful information and I am trying to put it to use now because this Nixnote package has yet another dependency problem. I am unable to enter my Evernote information into Nixnote and have discovered that I am missing libssl 0.9.8. Unfortunately I am unable to install it although I have searched for it and found it. I have been on the Nixnote site and the developer has assured me libssl 0.9.8 is required. So if I can search for it and find it why can’t I install it? It does say “Reading installed packages” which would suggest it’s installed but I think it isn’t. This puzzles me :\

tom@linux-p5bi:~> zypper se libssl 0.9.8

Oh nevermind! I figured it out. libssl is just an abbreviation for libopenssl. lol!

#9

Another searching option would be

$rpm -q --whatprovides ssl
openssl-1.0.1e-1.1.1.x86_64
#10

zypper install libopenssl0_9_8
