Unable to run boostnote from boost-note-linux.AppImage

[RatanShreshtha]

Current behavior

I have downloaded the boost-note-linux.AppImage file from the website but when I am trying to run it I am getting following error.

(boostnote:71428): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:08:45.384: cannot open display: 

Steps to reproduce

1. Download the boost-note-linux.AppImage file
2. Make it executable using chmod +x boost-note-linux.AppImage
3. Run it using ./boost-note-linux.AppImage

Environment

• Version : 0.14.0
• OS Version and name : Fedora 31

Boost-note is not Boostnote. (So it's not 0.14.0)

The former of which does not use AppImage IIRC.

This isn't an issue for me, I performed the following and it opened up:

cd BoostNote.next/
wget https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/releases/download/v0.1.3/boost-note-linux.AppImage
chmod +x boost-note-linux.AppImage
./boost-note-linux.AppImage

• Do you have the .AppImage under the ~/ directory, maybe it's a permission issue?

Environment

• Ubuntu 19.10 (Xorg)
• v 0.1.3

I'm using Ubuntu too. And I couldn't reproduce the problem. Maybe I should try it on Fedora? Hmm... I'll download Fedora and try to reproduce tomorrow. If there is someone else using Fedora, please let us know if you can reproduce this problem or not.

@RatanShreshtha
I googled about the error. I feel it might be caused by your local envs. Can you execute other electron app like VSCode or Atom on your machine?

[RatanShreshtha]

VS code and Atom are working fine.

[Rokt33r]

@RatanShreshtha Did you run VSCode or Atom from the same terminal?

@RatanShreshtha v0.2.1 has been released. If you still have same problem, please reopen this issue.
