Notecase Pro 2.8.8 and Ubuntu Karmic Koala
thecorfiot
After spending most of yesterday doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10
following a failed upgrade :-( I have just got around to reinstalling
Notecase Pro 2.8.8.
The install appears to go OK until I try to install the notecase.key
file. It appears to install correctly but I get an error saying that
the program is running in demo mode and that although the license
keyfile exists in .notecase/notecase.key, it is not readable.
I have more than one copy of the key saved in various locations. All
give me the same error message and so I am pretty sure that it is
correct.
After installing the key, the program shows that it is registered to
me but if I close the program and reopen it it again reverts to the
demo version.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Hi, Robert,
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 x86 on a Virtual Box virtual machine last
night and experienced the same problem. I did some further tests and
have sent Miro a detailed report.
The work-around is to bypass the Install File feature:
1. Close NoteCase Pro
2. Manually copy the notecase.key file to /home/username/.notecase
(notice the leading period in the .notecase directory). (Substitute
your user account name for "username".)
3. Relaunch Notecase Pro.
4. Should be joy.
You may need to set your file manager to display hidden files in order
to see the /.notecase directory.

An alternative to wrestling with the Dolphin file manager's settings
is to temporarily install the Krusader file manager. Its installer
sets the app to show hidden files and folders by default.
However, if I recall correctly, there is an option on the Dolphin View
menu to show hidden files.
Best regards,
Paul

Paul,
Thanks for that. It worked a treat! It's curious that it should happen
though.

Thanks Paul for finding a solution. Thanks Bob for possible bug report
that I need to test :-).

It's sounding so far like some sort of clash between the 8.04 i386
build of NC Pro and i386 Ubuntu 9.10. FWIW, I experienced no similar
issue with 32-bit Kubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu 9.04, and Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit.
Best regards,

the difference to Bob's experience.

(after calling "Install License") as root by giving the read
permission for this file to others.
The problem was fixed few days ago (next release will behave OK).
