Please tell me the following info:

• nvPY version
• OS and Python version
• Complete logs since nvPY start. Log files are exist on ~/.nvpy/nvpy.log.

[JENKOP]

1. nvPY 2.3.1

2a. Bodhi Linux, basically
Distributor ID:Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

2b. Python 3.10.12

3.Log is full of this and only this (example):

It's strange that the updating note causes 404 errors.

Did you delete notes from other clients while starting nvpy?
Does the problem stay even after a full synchronization?
Is only two notes (8dc6e0c3-8e25-419f-9f65-34398a3ce90c, af9a8866398e4e07b0fec413956362d0) having synchronizing issue?

[JENKOP]

No. I think it is basically all notes. Possibly a hundred, When I experienced problems, I opened new simplenote account. After a failed sync attempt, I tried to delete notes directly in simplenote.com

If you are okay with discarding remote notes, you can upload all notes from local to remote using the nvpy-db-utils.py.
https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy/blob/master/debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py

# Back up the nvpy database.
cp -a ~/.nvpy/ ~/.nvpy.backup

# Try to upload a note.
./debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py delete --remote af9a8866398e4e07b0fec413956362d0
./debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py update --direction upload af9a8866398e4e07b0fec413956362d0

# Try to upload all notes.
./debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py delete --remote --all
./debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py update --direction upload --all

UPDATE: 2024-12-10 Change commit ID to branch name.

[yuuki0xff]

I fixed the nvpy-db-utils.py crash issue. Available on the master branch.

When I experienced problems, I opened new simplenote account.

The first issue remains unclear. If you have logs when this issue first occurred, please share me.

[JENKOP]

"I fixed the nvpy-db-utils.py crash issue. Available on the master branch."

Should I update it? How? pip install?

[yuuki0xff]

Download from https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy/blob/master/debug-utils/nvpy-db-utils.py and run it.
If you installed nvpy with pip, the required modules (nvpy and simplenote) have already been installed.

[JENKOP]

Will this shit ever work again?
On one computer I have synchronization issues, on the other one it crashes without error. This software has become a nightmare after serving me many years. If things can't be fixed, is there another good simplenote client for Linux that actually works?

[JENKOP]

I deleted a note that made problems. No difference. It synchonizes into oblivion. I deleted all notes on simplenot for a fresh synronization. nvpy error log is full of

[yuuki0xff]

Could you please provide the steps you took, the logs, and the results in chronological order? Without being able to reproduce the issue, it will be difficult to investigate and fix

[yuuki0xff]

is there another good simplenote client for Linux that actually works?

Linux version of Simplenote (built with Electron)

https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases

Using app.simplenote.com through a web browser is another option.

When I experienced problems,

Regarding the issue that initiated this matter, investigation is impossible due to a lack of information.

I opened new simplenote account. After a failed sync attempt, I tried to delete notes directly in simplenote.com

I created a new simplenode account and run the nvpy as another user (copied files) and C&P into Simplenode.

I seems to you might be making the problem worse yourself.

nvPY's sync system performs bidirectional synchronization between the local database and Simplenote. To achieve this, it keeps track of the sync status in the local database. The following actions are not supported and could lead to issues:

• Switching to a different Simplenote account without clearing the contents of ~/.nvpy/.
• Copying ~/.nvpy/ to another computer and using it as-is.

These actions could cause inconsistencies in the local database. This might be the root cause of the various problems you're experiencing in your environment. If you store valuable notes in Simplenote, you should avoid reckless attempts to fix issues.

If you intend to continue using nvPY, you should follow these steps:

1. Stop nvPY and back up ~/.nvpy.
2. Consolidate into a single Simplenote account. Migrate your data in Simplenote and update your .nvpy.cfg file accordingly.
3. If there are notes in nvPY's local database that are not reflected in Simplenote, manually transfer them to Simplenote.
4. Ensure all notes are latest on simplenote.
5. Delete the ~/.nvpy directory.
6. Restart nvPY.
