[2024] Troubleshoot installation issues

I noticed that some people had problems installing. Then follow these commands to install a stable desktop version:

1) If you still have the Notion app files on your system, uninstall them



sudo apt purge notion*


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2) Now run this command to install a new version



sudo snap install notion-snap-reborn


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Hey, wonderful that it works so easily. However a multitude of keyboard inputs doesn't work for me, such as "/" for example which is terrible. The desktop app doesn't recognize my shift+7 as "/", but as no input.

I can't find any settings for this. How does this desktop version readout keyboard input?

I have been having the same issue, the application doesnt register "/". I am gonna uninstall and then install it from the software center using snap. Although, I am going to start using obsidian now, you should check it out.

you can change the keyboard layout to the US format in the settings as UK format is the default setting that should resolve this issue

Installing notion-app-enhanced and notion-app are exclusive, so steps 3 and 4 can be done with either one. As of December 2023, the version is Notion 2.0.18-1, and it starts and remains in a loading state, but the reason for this is that the JavaScript content updates on the app side are not keeping up with Notion updates. do not have. (Similarly, the reason for not being able to type some characters seems to be the same.) I referred to github.com/notion-enhancer/notion-... and used the patch found there, patch-notion-enhanced.sh, and it seems to be working. (On Xubuntu22.04 x64)

notion-app-enhancedと notion-appのインストールは排他的になるので手順3と4はどちらか一方で良い。2023/12の今の時点でバージョンがNotion 2.0.18-1で、起動してローディングの状態のままになるが、これの原因はNotionの更新に対してアプリ側のJavaScriptの内容更新が追い付いていない。(同様に一部の文字が打てない事も原因は同じようだが)。ここgithub.com/notion-enhancer/notion-... x64にて)
