Boostnote freezes

Frozen

On start up, boostnote freezes at the loading page. Does not close. Had to killall the process. Uninstalled and reinstalled and problem remains. What should i do?

Environment

• Version :0.11.4
• OS Version and name :Ubuntu 17.10

I have the same problem since yesterday.
Version: 0.11.4-1
OS: Ubuntu 18.04

I have been having the same problem. Boostnote freezes when loading and requires killall to halt.

If I delete ~$ home/username/Boostnote the program will launch successfully. Copying the existing .rm files back into the new notes directory, or even recreating them as new notes using the existing markdown text, causes Boostnote to freeze on the next launch.

So, ps aux | grep note, then kill -9 for all processes related to Boostnote. Then in your config directory you will find the file Boostnote. Rename it, for example call it Boostnote_off. Then reboot your ubuntu and then Boostnote should be working fine. It will create a new Boostnote file inside the config directory. Your old markdowns and and snipets will be found as Unknown, but that's ok, you can rename them. To be safe, i backed up my notes in another drive.

Let me know if it worked.
