[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1068783] Re: Tomboy lost notes (Data loss) on crash.

[Aaron Borden]

Thanks for reporting. Do the notes exist in the backup directory?
Usually: $HOME/.local/share/tomboy/Backup/

This issue sounds similar to the ext4 issue[1] but that usually
truncates the notes, the files should still exist after the power cycle.
This has been plaguing tomboy for a while now. Any help  is appreciated.

Title:
  Tomboy lost notes (Data loss) on crash.

Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a kernel crash today (I'm running a test kernel for the kernel
  team to sort out some issues I noticed that are not related to this
  bug).

  I had tomboy running as I use Tomboy daily for keeping notes on my
  work for the day.  I had three notes open.

  1: yesterday's work log
  2: today's work log
  3: notes from a meeting I had earlier this week.

  the only one of those notes that were NEW was today's work log.

  The kernel crashed, forcing me to power cycle the machine to reboot.
  After booting to a more stable kernel, I re-opened Tomboy and
  discovered that my three notes were completely gone.  Missing as
  though they had never existed.  There's no hint of them at all in
  .local/share/tomboy

  because of this, I lost all my notes from my meeting, meaning lost
  work and lost time.  They have also apparently disappeared from U1.
  It seems as though tomboy synchronized and deleted the server side
  copies as well.  I do not delete notes myself.  I have status notes
  going back to 2010 when I first started using tomboy.
