Run Everpad on ubuntu 14.04

Question

I have installed Everpad in 32bit Ubuntu machine. When I run it I have error:

root@1025C:~# everpad
"sni-qt/10220" WARN  22:57:49.764 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE 
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.2:/EverpadProvider: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

How to solve this problem?

How did you install it? And can you try NOT launching it as root. — Parto, Feb 27 '15 at 21:14

It seems [everpad has been discontinued](http://alternativeto.net/software/everpad/). Some options: [nixnote](https://github.com/baumgarr/nixnote2), evernote by wine, or evernote interface web/browser plugin.

I installed everpad using this answer on 14.04.

If run using sudo I also get the same error:

$ sudo everpad
"sni-qt/27637" WARN  22:25:20.906 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

You need to run everpad as a normal user, not root:

$ everpad

You get the dbus error because when invoked as a different user you're loosing the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.

It's not permitted because the bus daemon disconnects if it detects a connection from a different user.
