everpad not syncing new notes

[perryhook]

I recently installed Everpad on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. It will download my notes, but does not sync new notes to Evernote. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, purged, restarted, nothing works. I also revoked authorization and reauthorized.

It says it has synced, but logging into Evernote web or my Android client do not show the new notes. I have Everpad version 2.5, API version 6, and Schema Version 5.

Try to stop everpad-provider with killall everpad-provider, run it from terminal with everpad-provider --verbose, then try to sync. What is your terminal output?

Hmm, I since tried installing Everpad after cloning the git repo and using python setup.py install, but it didn't work. I thought I'd cleaned up the mess that made, but now after reinstalling Everpad with apt-get it won't even run. I get error pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PySide . I tried installing python-pyside with apt-get and it looked like it went well. But everpad gives the same error.

I am in a similar usercase and there is a lot of broken functionality. I've seen a lot of autosubmitted crash report dialog action, but Ubuntu makes it unclear where this stuff goes. Hopefully you fine fellows know.

That being said, I tried your troubleshooting: $ everpad-provider --verbose Segmentation fault (core dumped)

:(

gorrie - This should fix your segfault: Open file /usr/share/pyshared/everpad/provider/daemon.py file in editor with sudo and near the file end after line dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True) add the following line: dbus.mainloop.glib.threads_init() Be careful with the indentation. You should get something like this:

...
    try:
        fcntl.lockf(fp, fcntl.LOCK_EX | fcntl.LOCK_NB)
        dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
        dbus.mainloop.glib.threads_init()
        app = ProviderApp(args.verbose, sys.argv)
        app.exec_()
    except IOError:
...

After changes try run everpad-provider again.

Thanks for the fix.

Are there any additional debug or logs that would be helpful from this environment or is everything all thoroughly documented already?

[SlavikZ]

If after the fix everything runs fine, then there is no need for any additional info.

[perryhook]

I got my system back up to original state and confirmed I was also getting the segfault.

This fix seems to do the trick. Thanks!

Nice, this fixed my issue to. Are their any plans to integrate this as a patch?

Thanks a lot for this solution, It help me to resolved this problem. I use often this evernote service.

I just encountered the same problem. Performed the suggested fix. Seems to be working. I'm seeing updates on my terminal while sync is in progress.

Note: The fix doesn't to be applied yet. I just installed everpad last night by adding the PPA in this git.

@SlavikZ, Thanks for the fix!

I had the same issue with Everpad not syncing, and I did the killall everpad-provider and ran everpad-provider --verbose from a terminal, and now notes seem to sync both ways. But what happens when I close the terminal -- do notes stop syncing? Do I have to keep a terminal process running to have Everpad sync?

[iPadGuy]

If I start everpad from the command line, I run it as a background process (eg. 'everpad &').
