Notes app: Lost all notes wile upgrading
-
I closed the Notes app while upgrading this app to the latest version. Now, when I open this app, I get the following message:
No notes vavailableAny idea how to retrieve my notes?
-
@ubuntoutou As long as the note files are still there, go to the terminal
cd .local/share/com.ubuntu.reminders/@local
This is where all your notes are stored, to get content of the notes out you will need to type this to (this will miss all the nicetys like titles and will merge all the notes into one, so keep that in mind).
cat *info | grep tagline | awk -f= '{print $2}' >> $HOME/Documents/notes.txt
Then you can just cd into your Documents directory and cat note.txt and it should have all your notes, it'll be a bit of a mess and you'll have to format it a bit to look nice, but that SHOULD work.

I noticed the same thing thing after the update. Click on the Notebook tab, then on the Notes tab, and your notes will re-appear. You have to do this every time you start the application.

@cliffcoggin That's a very good find, thank you!

It seems that in fixing the application for the Pinephone, the update unfixed it for others phones.
-
@cliffcoggin Thanks. Your solution works like a charm.

thanks!!!

I am happy to report that the application has been fixed today. Thanks for such fast work.
