Ubuntu One :: Tomboy Syncs - And Promptly Deletes All My Local Notes
Jan 14, 2010
I attempted to sync Tomboy notes with Ubuntu One, the process claimed to be successful - and deleted all the notes on my computer, with no warning at all. Thankfully I had just backed things up yesterday...
I'm running Karmic, the Tomboy is version 1.0.0, and the Ubuntu One client is 1.0.2 (I think).
A little while ago I was having problems with Tomboy syncing with Ubuntu One at all. Then things worked, but I ran into problems with the program declaring that the notes online were newer than my local ones - which was certainly not the case, as I only use my Ubuntu One account with a single computer. Some of the notes were conflicting, though there were also problems with templates (probably something similar to this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone...rs/+bug/502017).
So I deleted all the notes, manually, on the Ubuntu One site, thinking this would help. It certainly didn't help with my template problem, and now when I sync it declares "Synchronization is complete, 32 notes updated. Your notes are now up to date." - and lists all of my notes stating that they were deleted locally! And indeed they are.
If I go online and look at Ubuntu One, the notes tab simply says: "You have no notes (yet!)." I tried to see if this was recurring, and it is. Every time all my notes are deleted.
It's always update my local file from web server,which is not my want it.I have beem overwrited by web server many times.It's made me so mad.Is there any way to just only update webserver from local and keep my local files original?
Can anyone tell me what names the tomboy notes application gives to its notebooks and notes? Not the file format (xml) I found that on the web, but the filenames and directory where it stores things.
My laptop has 10.4 and desktop has 10.10.My HD is damaged due a power surge. However, I was lucky to access my ubuntu home directory. How can I move my Tomboy notes from my laptop to desktop.
How to sync notes to Dropbox, but after the upgrade to 11.04, I can't get Tomboy to sync.
I get the same error as here: [url]
Where the details panel is blank.
But I don't know what hidden file he's talking about. When I press ctrl+h in all the Tomboy folders, nothing comes out, but there are a few manifest.xml files.
I would like to keep my Tomboy notes synced between my home computer and the LiveUSB I'm using at the classroom. I used to sync them to Ubuntu one back when I used Ubuntu, but now that I'm using Fedora their server doesn't seem to respond.Is there a way that I can sync the notes, either using Ubuntu one or any other solution?
After a prolonged absence, version 4.10, I have started dabbling with Ubuntu again. It was a HDD crashing that sent me down this path. Needless to say, the ability to backup my user data to a second HDD is an important task to me. I'm currently using Back in Time to accomplish this and all is well. However, there is one thing missing. I can't locate my Tomboy Notes data within the file system. I expected to see a "hidden" folder in my /home, but do not. Where this information is stored so I can back it up as well?
Is there a way to make Tomboy Notes startup in the background when Ubuntu is lunched? I added the command "tomboy --search" to startup applications and whenever Ubuntu starts, Tomboy Notes opens the [Search All Notes] window.
In the previous Ubuntu version, I used to use the Tomboy Notes applet from (Add to Panel) and it used to startup without opening any windows. This method still work on Ubuntu 10.04, but I liked the new icon for Tomboy Notes that appears in the status bar.
I cannot find where tomboy notes are located im trying to change from one comp to another, i have already seen the thread that says they are in ~/.tomboy ".note" files but they are no where to be found and neither is that file?
I want to store all my Tomboy notes not on the default directory but I want to put them on a shared partition (I'm dual booting Vista and Ubuntu 10.04). The scenario is that I want to keep the same notes accessible from both Vista and Ubuntu 10.04). So I created a directory on the shared partition (FAT32 partition): /media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes and store the notes there. On its website, it says "On any operating system, you can override the location of the note directory by setting the TOMBOY_PATH environment variable" but unfortunately I don't know how to do it (I'm blind on this thing).
Is there a way to sync Tomboy notes to multiple locations? I would like to be able to sync them to my UbuntuOne account and at the same time to my local NFS server, but from the looks of it Tomboy only lets you choose one location for syncing. Maybe there's a workaround for this or something?
This was the most useful program I had under Ubuntu and I miss it greatly; evernote is bloated and complicated. Is there something like tomboy for the mac? Bonus points for iphone sync.
I've removed Tomboy notes from the startup applications by accident :-( I've tried to re add it again by typing in tomboy in the command area, but when the system starts up, the main window for tomboy notes opens up & when i close the main window tomboy shuts down.How can I get it the way it was before, just a icon in the notification area on system start up?take a look at the system start up command for Tomboy Notes and post it I know the command tomboy notes use in the applications menu * it's Tomboy* but I can't remember the code in the start up applications or system start up command to get it just a icon in the notification area without the main window opening up every time I start gnome,
At home I run 10.10 and set it up last night to sync to Ubuntu one. I figured this would be handy since I often work in the evenings on work projects while at home. My work laptop is 10.04, and I'd prefer to keep it that way with it being an LTS and all, as stable as 10.10 seems to be.Problem is within the Tomboy preference menu I don't see a way to sync my notes to Ubuntu One. I even got the latest PPA, but no dice.
I've been using Tomboy Notes on Mac and, when I recently came over to Ubuntu, was thrilled that I could use it still. However, it quit working. I cannot open it in the Applications Menu, I can't open it via terminal (this is what I get if I try:
brasel@sonny:~$ tomboy -new note (/usr/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe:7009): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:85: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
[code]....
I can't open it at all.I don't have a .tomboy file in my /home directory, or in my /home/brasel directory. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I even cleaned out my computer via the computer janitor and it still wouldn't re-install and run.
I'm getting a "Server Error Something has gone wrong (500)" when i try to access the notes page for several days now. When will it be OK?

I have recently got an iPhone and find it is not possible to use it with my Ubuntu 9.10. I want to do full syncing with Thunderbird and Lightning. I would like to change this mobile phone for one which will do the syncing with Ubuntu. What phone do you recommend I get?
Having trouble getting nptd to sync with time server(s) under 10.10.Using exact same /etc/ntp.conf with 10.04 machines on same network, have no problem:

I would like to get a recommendation to get a backup program under Linux.
I use dropbox, but this doesnt syncs automatically new files created on my local folders. So if I copy this in with a Backup program I can get a fully automated online backup system.
I am running 10.10 and using Banshee. When I go to sync my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen (8GB), it syncs fine in Banshee or appears to but on my iPod, it still shows the "Sync in Progress" for hours afterward. If I cancel the sync from my iPod, some of the music won't show up.
When I am playing music from my iphone through rhythmbox the iphone syncs at the beginning of every song. I dont know why it would need to do that? I have taken a look at settings and nothing really related.
I applied some changed to the MOTD in /etc/update-motd (including removing the canonical mention in ./python2.6/dist-packages/landscape/sysinfo/landscapelink.py). After updating the system I found that all my changes had been deleted without any warning. Is there a way around this nonsense?
I booted into Windows 7 three times this summer and each time I did, upon restart grub was missing. In fact, the computer couldn't find any operating system, and displayed an error "No Module Name Found".
how to make windoze not commit suicide and delete grub?
I have a Dell Studio 1557.

I have deleted sda1, sda2 as they were XP partitions that I no longer wanted to use (yay!). After doing so, when I rebooted I just got a blinking cursor. I was able to boot with the Ubuntu 9.10 install CD, and found that I could elect to boot from the first hard drive, and in doing so the usual grub menu was displayed, and I could boot to my Ubuntu 9.10 partition (sda5 inside of sda3 extended partition). So, noobid that I am, I figured I would try to 'fix' grub. ran commands grub>root (hd0,4); grub> setup(hd0)
Now, when I reboot, it goes directly to the grub command line, no multiboot menu, and I cannot find a way to boot to my Ubuntu partition. The partition is still there, though, as I've checked from the Ubuntu CD.
Under 8.04 lts moving a file to Trash under Gnome/Nautilus resulted in the file being moved to the Trash directory, from where I could then delete it. It was an extra layer of protection against mistakes.
Now when I right click on a file and choose move to Trash, it deletes immediately without the protection.
I see no way to turn it back on. Is this a change in the way Nautilus is meant to work, or is there a switch someplace to put it back?
Each time I boot into Windows 7 on my dual-boot setup (the other OS being Ubuntu Maverick), the computer is no longer able to boot. I can use Windows fine that once, but after shutting down and restarting it simply loops during boot in the pattern OEM screen, power off, power on, OEM screen, power off, power on... you get the idea.
I have read that this is due to Windows (or a program inside Windows) "fixing" the Master boot record (MBR) each time it loads - and in doing so, deleting GRUB. Thing is: on my other laptop the exact same dual-boot setup works fine. My problem laptop is a Samsung R780. My guess is that it's a specific program on my laptop, as oppose to Windows in general, which is doing it, so I was hoping that you could help me either identify the problem program or secure the MBR against Windows writing to it (if that is possible).
I can, of course, fix GRUB each individual time it is destroyed by installing it again using the Ubuntu live CD, but this is obviously not a permenant solution as, upon the next boot of Windows, it is destroyed again.
