autoupdater failing on linux

[jackheuberger]

Tried installing the regular and enhanced versions via the AUR. Getting the following console output upon running notion-app:

(electron) Sending uncompressed crash reports is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Electron. Set { compress: true } to opt-in to the new behavior. Crash reports will be uploaded gzipped, which most crash reporting servers support.

I have the same problem in Arch.

[luke-wriglesworth]

Also having the problem

[ZloyPirozhok]

I also don't start the system after updating.

[zJairO]

Same problem here..

[zJairO]

Think is a problem with contextIsolation on Electron

[dragonwocky]

@zJairO it's an autoupdater problem, it will be solved once the enhancer updates to the latest notion version.

[JRDetwiler]

A reminder for anyone else like me that needs it: Notion has a web client too. https://www.notion.so/

[raquel-dantas]

Any news?

[LucStr]

Would be nice to get an update on this :)

[dragonwocky]

the news is that I'm working on it, be patient. the fix for this will be released at the same time as the fix for the 100+ other bugs is released.

[LaurentOngaro]

A good work arround is to create a web app using webapp-manager
juste create a new app pointing to www.notion.so.
Log in and it's done !

Note that this app can already be installed in your Linux system by default. From what I know, that's the case on Manjaro and Garuda gnome systems

[farzadmf]

I used nativefier to create an app, but I find that the experience with this app (when it works of course) is a bit better
