Install Successful but cannot find Lotion App [Linux 20.04]

Open HeloiseS opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Hello,

I cloned the repo and use the install (and the install_native) command - they seemed to run without issue, but I cannot find lotion in my apps and I don't seem to have a way to even run it. Any advice would be appreciated and thanks for your efforts.

Cheers, Heloise

If you have installed it globally (with sudo) the executable should be located in \usr\share\lotion\Lotion\Lotion and if locally in ~\.local\share\lotion\Lotion\Lotion. Could you try to run this executable and provide information if it works ? Also it would be nice if you would provide the type of installation that you have used (locally or globally) and what Desktop Environment are you using.

Same issue faced. After following the given instructions in readme, I am not able to figure out the next steps. Any help will be appreciated. OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Install Version for lotion: Web version

Hey every, could you see if you have a ~/.local/application/Lotion.desktop file if you installed locally (which I recommend)? And verify that it looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Notion
Name[en_US]=Lotion
Comment=Unofficial Notion.so application for Linux
Exec="/home/USER/.local/share/lotion/Lotion/Lotion"
Terminal=false
Categories=Office;TextEditor;Utility
Type=Application
Icon=/home/USER/.local/share/lotion/icon.png
StartupWMClass=Notion

I'm using ubuntu 20.04. I download the release file. First i installed using sudo, lotion app cannot be found and there's no lotion.desktop in ~/.local/application/. So i uninstalled it.

Second, not using sudo. sh install.sh native and lotion app can be found. I think the solution is to installed it without sudo.

I'm using pop os 20.04. try it in folder lotion ./setup.sh and be happy.

Hi, I am using Solus and the sudo ./setup.sh native command works perfectly.
