Right click on icon -> New Note ... Get "An error occures during fetching. Do you want to select an new default collection?" (including the grammar error(s)) Click Yes -> new dialog pops up with Nothing to choose from Click No -> the dialogs just goes away When KNotes gets started it adds in a 'Local Notes * Ready' item in System Settings -> Common Appearance and Behavior -> Akonadi Resources Configuration -> ... which has maildir tab -> /home/bryan/.local/share/notes/akonadi_akonotes_resource_731 (Question What are these things added called? The dialogs don't say) When run from a konsole window knotes says something like: QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. knotes(31041) NoteShared::LocalResourceCreator::slotSyncDone: Instance synchronized knotes(31041)/libakonadi Akonadi::EntityCache<T, FetchJob, FetchScope_>::processResult: "Collection 431 does not exist" knotes(31041)/libakonadi Akonadi::EntityCache<T, FetchJob, FetchScope_>::processResult: "Collection 432 does not exist" knotes(31041)/libakonadi Akonadi::EntityCache<T, FetchJob, FetchScope_>::processResult: "Collection 433 does not exist" Error during fetch: "Collection 322 does not exist" Error during fetch: "Collection 322 does not exist" note: these numbers may change between runs -- p.s. When starting knotes after upgrade the old knotes conversion didn't work, and it created lots stuff in /home/bryan/.local/share/notes/akonadi_akonotes_resource_* (or at least I think that's when those were created)
Your problems are already reported: See bug#339168 and bug#339169 To get knotes working, right-click on its icon, choose "Configure KNotes..." and set an existing Akonotes resource as default collection in "Collections". And you should probably set a different folder than ~/.local/share/local-mail/ for your Akonotes resources in System Settings -> Common Appearance and Behavior ->Akonadi Resources Configuration (a good candidate would probably be ~/.local/share/notes/ or subfolders thereof). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 339168 ***
