Using TiddlyDesktop on Linux

[Rob Jopling]

I am trialling a version of Linux to see whether I might migrate from windows. Currently a Linux rookie!

The Linux version is Xubuntu 20.4.1.

I have downloaded the latest version of TiddlyDesktop and extracted it to my desktop.

When I run ./nw in a terminal window I get the message "Opneing in existing browser session" but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? Please can someone help.

Many thanks

Rob

Is this vs 14 ? Maybe try vsn 13. I feel we're getting multiple reports of difficulties with v14.

I use v13 from time to time on Xubuntu 18.04. However, other methods of saving work too including tiddlyserver, timimi, Bob, and file-backups. And of course polly, though you have to set up powershell.

Hi Mark

Thanks for your response. I have read about problems others have had.

I tried v 13 and I got the following message but no luck

Created new window in existing browser session.
[27265:27290:0830/105343.422256:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(121)] Failed to launch GPU process.

Any idea what that means? Would be nice to get it working but in the meantime I willl try Timimi.

Have tried Timimi in Firefox and Vivaldi and got an error message when attempting to save.

'Attempt to post message on disconnected port'

Rob,

Unfortunately github pages is down at the moment. For timimi you need not only the browser extension but also to install a download from github. The instruction for that is on github pages....

Rob,

I have used Tiddlydesktop 0.14 a few times. I am using linux Mint Mate 20. I had to make sure NW was executable. Created an icon on the desktop and run it from there. That was the only way it would work. I remember at one point in time, that some compatibility file was missing in the linux version I used at that time but that is long time ago now. Still that might be the case for you, no way for me to know.

Github pages are readable again https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/

Lovely what a relief.

Now for tiddlydesktop.

I'll never be a terminal acrobat I am afraid. I use the graphical approach, but I am using a Danish version, not really sure how to describe.

Right click your file, and you should see something like this:

I'll be back, when I have an image of the desktop icon.

On the desktop right click somewhere and select shortcut.

Mine look like this:

I hope you will find your way and it will work for you too,

Good luck,

Birthe
