lawsonrc Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I cannot get knotes to work in Mandriva2005LE on both my laptop and my desktop computer. When I do the run command: knotes, I get an error message which states: "KDEInit could not launch 'kontact_knotes.sh' ". As a result, Kontakt has already opened up, which I don't want it to do. I just want "simple ole" knotes to open, like other sticky notes program (Post-It Notes in WindowsXP, and the notes in Gnome, for example). How do I correct the error message and get knotes to work independently of Kontakt, so that it sits in the system tray, and I can single-click on it to start a new note, as well as right-click on it for more options. :unsure: All help is greatly appreciated! :D Richard B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawsonrc Posted July 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks devries, I'm leaving Houston for Montreal, CA to get away from our heat and to enjoy the cooler weather there for a week. When I get back on July 11th, I'll try this. Always appreciative of your help, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I know I requested this in July, but I finally tried devries' input. I went all the way to apps, but there wasn't a config directory. There was, however, a knotes directory. I opened it and moved all those files to trash. I then tried to open knotes from the icon on the panel and still got the error message and an open window of Notes-Kontakt. In other words, Kontakt opens up instead of the little yellow blank note. When I opened knotes from the mandriva start menu, Kontakt opened up again (this time without the error message). This is a quirk only in Mandrake and Mandriva since 10.1 up to and including 2006. (Knotes automatically works just fine in my other distros.) I want to thank devries very much for taking the time to help me. Any further help is greatly appreciated. Richard L.
