# 📚 P3X Onenote Linux v1.2.365-447
This is an open-source project. Star this repository if you like it, or even donate! Thank you so much! :)
I run my own server with dynamic IP address so it may happen that the server can not be reachable for about max 5 minutes due to the dynamic DNS. The server may also be unreachable when I backup the SSD with Clonzilla (very rarely) or an electrical issue (but this should not happen again). When the server is down, please hang on for 5-30 minutes and the server will be back up.
All my domains (patrikx3.com and corifeus.com) could have errors since I am developing in my free time. However, it is usually stable.
# Description
[//]: #@corifeus-header:end
A Linux compatible version of OneNote
# Downloadable installer
https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/releases
After downloading the ```AppImage```, make it an executable.
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /opt
sudo mv ~/Downloads/p3x-onenote-a.b.c-d-x86_64.AppImage /opt/p3x-onenote
sudo chmod +x /opt/p3x-onenote
# Then you can run it
/opt/p3x-onenote &
```
The app can also be found on [Atom Apps](https://electron.atom.io/apps/?q=onenote)
<!--
If you want to install it on NodeJs instead of the AppImage, it is deprecated, but available [here](https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/blob/c78e77c540e21b89e0e063cd50a10707faae722e/README.md#cli-install)
## Important Note
Check the ```Keep me signed in``` checkbox when entering your password then choose any page (but not a notebook) after logging in. This will keep you logged in.
**Do not install this app using the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is deprecated**
The ```CLI``` installation does not always work due the updating of Linux distros. Is is possible the ```configstore``` only works with ```sudo```, so use the ```released``` ```AppImage``` instead!
Installation of ```NodeJs``` is not necessary since the ```AppImage``` includes all dependencies.
```bash
# If this weird NPM error is encountered, do the following:
node -v
# make sure the node version is above 8.9.0
sudo npm install -g p3x-onenote --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
p3x-onenote
```
Logout and relogin, and a menu will now appear.

# Features
## Important
Right now, do not click the P3X Linux Onenote launcher multiple times, because it will spawn multiple copies and the Online Onenote limits the logins. I didn't have enough time to implement properly this function (so, when you click the launcher, it should not spawn a new P3X Onenote window, but just show the existing window), but I had issues, so, I removed this Electron singleton spawn function, but once it will works, it will be released.
## Default features
* GNOME menu <!-- (`````~/.local/share/applications/p3x-onenote.desktop`````) -->
* Icon
* Restart button (empty your cache, you can login again if there is an error)
* Remember last notebook (as much Online Onenote allows ...)
* Menu > Settings
* Enable hiding the main window
* If you access the tray easy, by 1 click, use this
* **Disable hiding the main window**
* If you have nested tray or not showing the tray, use this
* **THIS IS THE DEFAULT AS IS THE FALLBACK**
* Tray - show / hide by 1 click and hide the
* If in the Settings menu, you use the **Enable hiding the main window** is set, you can hide the window list and only show the tray, give you more space (but some Linux distros are not like Linux Mint, just try the settings)
<!--
* Loads last visibility state
-->
## Corporate
* There is now a menu called ```Corporate home```
# Info about P3X Onenote vs VirtualBox
If you have enough RAM or buffy workstation and you can install VirtualBox inside Windows and use the Marketplace based OneNote or install Office. I think, you do not need ```p3x-onenote``` at all.
For my workstation, with a 4.8Ghz CPU, 4 cores, 32 GB-ram, I use VirtualBox on Windows with Office Onenote (I use 6 GB RAM, 4 cores), but unfortunately my Laptop is old and has only 16GB RAM. Given, I develop a lot (NodeJs), I need the RAM, so for my Laptop, I use ```p3x-onenote``` and it's enough. Once the pages are loaded. It is fast, since it's own process without a browser and is in the tray, you don't have to re-load everything again. So it is very usable and after all pages are loaded, quick.
**You can try, you lose nothing.**
# Issues
## Unable to log in
This only happens if you kill ```P3X OneNote Linux``` and then relogin many times. So, If the program needs to be killed often, ```sign out``` (on the top right of the Electron browser frame) just to be safe.
### BUT!
**Exiting using ```quit``` from the ```p3x-onenote``` menu or the tray, will prevent the problem.**
## Latest Gnome with dash-to-panel
For now, I set a `Menu > Settings -> Disable hiding the main window | Enable hiding the main window`, where you can enable or disable hiding, so if the Electron Tray is not working for you, you can set it with this `Setting`.
## Fedora
https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/issues/3#issuecomment-312711801
## Change language
Although the main page's language can be changed, it reverts back when an actual page is accessed.
This is being investigated.
