Trouble running Simplenote 1.0 client for Linux from Automattic
Has anyone successfully installed and run the 1.0.0 Simplenote client for Linux recently released by Automattic?
I grabbed the DEB and installed via the Software Centre. It installed successfully (the system reported), and ALT-F2 search finds it ... but it simply won't run. Nothing.
I then re-installed with the GDebi Package installer, with the same outcome.
Is it just me? I'm on 14.04 LTS, though hopefully that's not a factor here.
(I would be happy to add any log files for diagnosis, but I'll need some prompts for that.)
Update - after checking some things (with thanks to @AlinAndrei) I tried a simple reboot ... and now it runs, and runs well. That was a very odd experience, and the "fixit-by-reboot" technique isn't something I'm accustomed to on Ubuntu. Still, good to know that all is well.

I suspect you've installed the package on a 32bit Ubuntu installation. Even though the Simplenote website or the deb filename don't mention this, the deb is only available for 64bit.
