please update to latest version and see if those errors are fixed. if not, try cleaning your Notion config folder. Fully quit the notion app, and then run the following:

rm ~/.config/Notion -rf

Note that you will have to login again after running this.

I was able to fix the issue with windows decorations by rebuilding the package using mac version instead of windows. I also fixed the tray icon and some other errors, made some checks to avoid duplicated windows, and Notion seems to work a lot smoother now.

Here is the repo with the modifications I made: https://github.com/mateushonorato/notion-app-electron-aur

The icon being used as the tray and app icon comes from Papirus Icon Pack. @AsukaMinato feel free to merge any of those modifications in this package or to ask me anything about how I made them.

If using fcitx5 and sometimes when you type faster, some letters will go directly into the text box and will not appear in the candidate area of the input method.

In ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini write gtk-im-module=fcitx

by default it uses Xwayland, if you want to use Wayland

if you use kwin

notion-app  --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime

if other

notion-app --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime --wayland-text-input-version=3

curl --silent https://desktop-release.notion-static.com/latest.yml | head --lines=1 | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=2

NOTES

• This application has a tray icon. To quit the application completely, press Ctrl+Q.
• To access the application menu, hold Alt for a moment instead of pressing Alt.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Stub Wayland icon is shown in some places when Ozone platform is Wayland

Is there any way to properly disable the tray icon and stop Notion running in the background when closed?

I use a window manager (Hyprland) and don't have a desktop environment so tray icons aren't all that reliable, and I want to be able to close the app fully using my usual shortcut Super+Q.

I can get rid of the tray icon, but there doesn't seem to be a way to stop Notion from running in the background when closed (aside from using Ctrl+Q to close it).

I get random freezes when I switch to another window and back to Notion after the last update. Prints this right before a freeze:

[9349:0925/110713.874794:ERROR:shared_image_manager.cc(223)] SharedImageManager::ProduceSkia: Trying to Produce a Skia representation from a non-existent mailbox.
[9349:0925/110713.876833:ERROR:shared_image_representation.cc(483)] Attempt to read from an uninitialized SharedImage. Initialized region: (0, 0, 0, 0) Size: (768, 544)

Edit: Removing ~/.config/Notion fixed the problem.

Unable to switch input method. When I try to use "Ctrl+Space" or "Ctrl+Shift" to switch input method, nothing happens. There is no error reported when i run it in command line with notion-app.

I'm using Arch + KDE + Wayland.

EDIT: I just fixed that problem by adding --enable-wayland-ime to the command line argument.

@mateushonorato I have updated and tried completely cleaning up Notion config folder and anything related to notion but the problem still persist.

Sometime the pages freezes after a few minutes of opening the application, sometimes it works for a while and then when I am trying to access it later, it freezes. The logs (from stdout/stderr) are very similar to what @hasmar04 has posted before.

I'm running into the same issue as @hasmar04 and @neupsh. Also using KDE + Arch + Wayland. I am using version 3.14

The new version still freeze (after running in background for some time).

And I prefer the original app icon...

please update to latest version and see if those errors are fixed. if not, try cleaning your Notion config folder. Fully quit the notion app, and then run the following:

rm ~/.config/Notion -rf

I ran into some interesting behaviour today where Notion was seemingly pinned at 65% CPU utilisation. Not really sure, but something is up.

I am running into same issue like @hasmar04. The app keeps freezing after a few minutes of opening and I can only use it again after running killall electron. There are a few electron apps and I can't even identify which one is notion.

This started happening since last upgrade of notion-app-electron. I am on archlinux KDE Plasma with wayland (if that matters)

Getting a bunch of different errors, but all lead to the program window fully freezing and requiring a program restart to get it working again. These are segments of the full output which won't fit here. Manjaro Linux 24.0.7

App starting with version 3.12.2 { system: 'linux x64', electron: '31.4.0' }`
