This may well be me being dumb, but I don't seem to be able to get Kjots to function.
I use One Note in MS Office on Win 7 and love it, so I though Kjots may be worth a try as I'm trying to reduce my Windows use as much as possible.
Kjots is enabled in Kontact but when I click on File - New Book, nothing happens. Similarly if I click on File - New Page nothing happens. When I try the relevant keyboard shortcuts for these I get a message that the key sequences are "ambiguous".
Everything else in Kontact works ok.
Anyone got any ideas? The info I've found online and in the 'handbook' is sparse to say the least.
I'm using KDE 4.8.1 with Fedora 16 x86_64

you might have a bad package install or a mis-matched package, try reinstall Kjots

try running as a different user, this is always a good test to determine if there's something wrong with your setup or with the app

try running kjots standalone in Konsole and if it doesn't function post the errors displayed in Konsole if any

if that doesn't provide usable display errors then:
- close Kjots
- open kdebugdialog -> deselect all -> search for kjots -> click on kjots -> ok
- remove or rename ~/.xession-errors
- run kjots again from konsole and try opening new book and new page
- close kjots
- open ~/.xession-errors and see if there are any relevant errors
- if you need to post from ~/.xession-errors and it is large DON'T copy it here but use pastbin.com or similar

Hi
Thanks for the fast response.
I ran it from Konsole, Kjots opened but wasn't any different There was an error message in Konsole:
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
I'm the only user so I tried to run it as root from Konsole and got this message:
unnamed app(6506)/kontact (interfaces): Cannot find the D-Bus session server
As for re-installing it all I have in Fedora is Apper for software management which is ok but it certainly is not on a par with YAST. I tried "yum install kjots" in a terminal but it didn't work. Is Kjots is part of the kdepim package?
If these konsole messages don't tell anything I'll try your last option.

could be (different distros package differently)

if you run in Konsole

Code: Select all

rpm -ql kdepim|grep /usr/bin/kjots

and the return is not blank then it is

Had the same problem in Fedora 17 and found that KJots wasn't ready in the Akonadi settings
Go to System Settings > Akonadi Configuration
Then I selected 'Notes' and clicked on modify, and Notes went ready. Then did the same for local notes. Now I have both Local Notes and Notes in KJots.
Hope that helps
