Release Zim desktop wiki(with additions)

eyecreate · Jun 11, 2011

I've been using Zim desktop wiki from repos recently but have found that missing plugin requirements were preventing some core functionality I was looking for. So, I made a new Zim pnd with the addition of gtkspell+python modules and graphviz(experimental, haven't tested/set up). This will allow spell checking and diagramming to take place.

Cool, I didn't know Zim at all. How does it hold up against org-mode?

I haven't used org-mode, so I can't say what is better/worse.

I would check if, after restarting your pandora, there is still a folder in /mnt/utmp that is zim. This seems to be the fact something went wrong and it doesn't have the permission to make file changes it needs to. If the folder is still there, delete it as root and try again. If not, not sure what step would work next.

peelie · Jun 13, 2011

there is no /mnt/utmp/zim folder i think the problem is it can't create this for some reason?

You might want to try a reflash, then.

What's the output of the log in /tmp folder when running zim on a fresh flash/hotfix? Maybe it can tell me something useful.

Does the PND contain more than one file/folder with the same name but different capitalisation? if so this can cause problems if the appdata folder is stored on a FAT fs, as FAT is not case sensitive.

Ah, that might be it, as I think I remember seeing that.(I most likely didn't see it as my SD card is using ext3.) Try this:

Hey man, the link does not work anymore. Do you have the instructions for Graphviz and gtkspell? And how many are interested to have this added? (both need to be compiled)
