Login not working

[LondonAppDev]

I just downloaded geeknote and installed from source.

It looks like the login oauth flow is broken.

I enter my login email address, and then it asks me for the two-factor auth code (even when that's not enabled), and then the log just outputs this:

2016-11-03 15:16:33,385 oauth allowAccess 251 : Unexpected response status on allowing access 302 != 403

Will try debug myself a bit later.

[toffalori]

I have exactly the same issue. Any updates on this?

[jeffkowalski]

Does it also fail on in this branch: 3a5d280 ?

[jackhamm]

I am also experiencing this problem attempting to login. In my setup I also have 2FA enabled.

[gentoolovers]

I have the same issue.On gentoo.

[mojoman]

Same issue here on OS X, clone from master, no two-factor auth.

[sunisdown]

same issue. On macOS

the response data is csrf_failure

Same issue.

Same on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & OS X El Capitan

#374

This should fix it. It was a csrf token failure. Evernote was outputting two csrf token hidden fields that needed to be sent along with the request.

Or alternatively feel free to just use my branch. It doesn't look like pull requests have been accepted here for some time.

@pipakin: I can confirm that your fix works. It is still asking for the second factor, but just hitting enter successfully logged me in. Subsequent commands are working fine.

[pipakin]

Yup, the two factor is a different thing. It should work either way. Internally they changed the process to always return a 302 (redirect) to send you to an analytics page. Before it seems that only happened with tfa. Now it always tries the tfa but if you leave it blank it will work if you don't have tfa enabled.

I just installed Geeknote and have the same two-factor login problem on Kubuntu 16.04. I have applied the above mentioned fix on the geeknote/oauth.py file without success.

[liveconvinced]

installed today on OS X 10.11.6
Despite installation going smoothly, all that happens is prompts for authentication...
Every time I authenticate, nothing happens. I'm returned back to the command prompt.

Sure hope it can be resolved soon. Don't know what I could do to troubleshoot further.

[mdhighfi]

I also installed Geeknote on OS X 10.11.6 and I am simply returned to the prompt after auth.

same as @liveconvinced above.

People: Go to Graphs -> Network on this page. Then you will see that this repository is terribly outdated.

The issue has been fixed for quiet some time here: https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote

[mdhighfi]

It didn't work and I gave up (don't remember the details). Then today I tried again. I tried:

brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote/master/geeknote.rb

[insert brew doing many things here]

python
-c
import setuptools, tokenize
__file__ = 'setup.py'
exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read()
  .replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))
--no-user-cfg
install
--prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/geeknote/HEAD-2b5f8fc/libexec/vendor
--single-version-externally-managed
--record=installed.txt

error in docker-py setup command: Invalid environment marker: python_version < "3.5"

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!

Looked up the error and didn't find much. I then remembered that when this failed a few weeks ago I tried installing a later version of Python, but got more errors going that route.

Next I tried replacing the repo listed in the geeknote installation instructions with https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote:

> git clone git://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote
...
> cd geeknote/
> sudo python setup.py install
...
> geeknote login
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/geeknote", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 576, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml

I did a quick search and found this installation issue which is not the same as mine. Going to take a break from messing with this again and try some other tools for now. But I'll probably revisit geeknote when I'm bold enough to try again.

[semtle]

I have the same issue with mdhighfi...

[Elinpf]

Tanks very much !

Hi,
If you have still issues you need to install this version: https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote and compile libs with python 2.7:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/proxyenv
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.3
then install geeknote with python 2.7.
