notes-plugin crashes

I have an ongoing problem with Xfce4 where the Notes plugin crashes on login. I posted a bug report to Xfce Bugzilla about it. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12411 but there was no reply.

Because of Xfce4-notes plugin crashed and stopped working altogether, five days ago I did a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04.

The new install worked flawlessly for three days until it began to report errors when I logged in. So, updated xfce to xfce4-session 4.12.1 (Xfce 4.12) through the PPA but this didn't help.

There are two different error warnings relating to xfce.

The first is:

xfcepanelcrash.png

then, the second is:

http://www.picfront.org/d/0Nlccai2uxN/x … ncrash.png
xfcepanelnotesplugincrash.png

I rely on the notes plugin, and like it better than anything else available.

Re: notes-plugin crashes

Does clearing your sessions cache, before you log in (basically delete the contents of ~/.cache/sessions while not logged into Xfce) make the error messages go away?

Do you get any messages if you try to start xfce4-notes manually from a terminal window after you are logged in (like you did in the bug report)?

I don't know how to log-out from xfce, unless you mean to do that at boot from advanced boot options?

Here are the messages when I start notes from the terminal as: sudo xfce4-notes, but the notepad opens up anyhow.

We need to deal with this one first. You should never run any of the Xfce components or apps with "sudo". They are meant to be run as your regular user account. When you run them as sudo, you run in to the possibility of changing permissions on application files rendering them impossible to run as the regular user. So lets fix these first in case this is the issue. To do so, we need your user account name. I'm going to assume that its "ineuw". If not, replace "ineuw" in these commands with whatever your user account name is. From a terminal window (don't worry if some come back as "file not found". I'm trying to make sure I get all possible files), execute the following commands:

sudo chown ineuw:ineuw ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css
sudo chown ineuw:ineuw ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.rc
sudo chown -R ineuw:ineuw ~/.local/share/notes/*

It appears that the xfce4-notes package in the Xubuntu 4.12 PPA is missing some files. This shouldn't affect operation of the application though.



I don't know how to log-out from xfce, unless you mean to do that at boot from advanced boot options?

At the login screen, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then log in to the terminal. Once logged in, run the following commands:

cd .cache
rm -rf sessions

...then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and log back in to Xfce.

Re: notes-plugin crashes

Here are the terminal messages:

Re: notes-plugin crashes

Some additional info to the above reply

When typing 'xfce4-notes' in the terminal, nothing happens, it returns to the prompt.

Re: notes-plugin crashes

Did you delete the sessions cache?

Can post back your list of panel plugins:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep "plugins/plugin-.. "

Also, try running the panel in debug mode. First, quit the panel:

xfce4-panel -q

...then run it in debug mode:

PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

...then try to start xfce4-notes and post back all of the information that is displayed in the terminal.

Re: notes-plugin crashes

Can you try it again but this way:

xfce4-panel -q
PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

Then add the notes plugin to the panel. Post back the messages that appear in the terminal window when you try to add the notes plugin.

Note: Code tags make it easier to read posts with output.
To add code tags, enclose your results in [ c o d e ][ / c o d e] (no spaces) tags.

Its added to the panel. But you're saying that it's not showing up. Correct?

With it added to the panel as above:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep "plugins/plugin-.. "

Re: notes-plugin crashes

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep "plugins/plugin-.. "  shows that it's running now.

And after fifteen minutes of composing you an important and detailed post, I lost it. Let's take a break please and I will re-write everything.

Re: notes-plugin crashes

I apologize for not using my laptop to communicate in the forum, while I was testing on the desktop. (I forgot).

Currently, I did the following:

1. Debug was not running.
2. Removed the notes plugin from the panel which was added through the Panel Preferences Items list. (It generated the usual crash error).
3. Ctrl+Alt+F1
4. Removed the sessions cache as instructed
5. Ctrl+Alt+F7
6. Opened Application Autostart and placed the check next to the Notes.
7. Logged off.
8. Rebooted.
9. Notes plugin started without an error message and without Panel Preferences Items installation.
10. Logged off again and rebooted the 2nd time.
11. Notes plugin started again without an error message.

My problem is as follows:

What is the relationship between the notes plugin when:
1. Installed through the Panel Preferences Items list. AND
2. Application Autostart selected OR not selected.
3. Notes plugin started manually through the Accessories menu. (if the notes app is running already, this starts a second copy of the app, but the content is the same as the first notes.

Can you point me to any literature that will sort this out for me?

Re: notes-plugin crashes

It looks like its working now. Good.

The autostart entry starts the xfce4-notes executable which is basically a shortcut for adding the plugin to the panel. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to check if another instance of xfce4-notes is running when it starts, so it can start multiple instances.

There isn't much in the way of documentation. There exists the goodies plugin documentation, but it's more of a package summary than documentation.

Edit: After further checking and testing ....
Xfce4-notes has two components, the application and the panel plugin.
- The autostart entry starts the xfce4-notes application.
- If you start the xfce4-notes application, it will run as an xfce4-notes process and place an icon in the systray while it is running that you can use to connect to the application.
- If you add a panel plugin, it creates its own panel item (not in systray) and when clicked will access your notes (will not use the application process).
- If you both enable the autostart application and add the panel plugin, on restart you will have 2 icons in the panel and things will get confusing. Although you can enter different notes into each instance, they will share the same save files (~/.local/share/notes/) and data can get lost (only one set of data will be saved). You should only use one of the two methods to run xfce4-notes..

Re: notes-plugin crashes

I am really grateful for this clarification, not forgetting to add your kind help in sorting out this confusing issue. As an application, (in the task manager), the display of the same content, the duplicate icons in the panel, I've experienced it all. Just couldn't figure out the plugin and the autostart. It works fine, and autostart is the best way to go. Thanks again.
