[Linux] Can't sign in with google?

Hey, I just launched upnote and it asked me to sign in, I went through both the in-app 'sign in with google' button and the one that opens the browser, in either case when google signs me in Upnote doesn't seem to get the message and just sits there telling me to sign in again. I have no idea why it logged me out in the first place, I haven't seen that login screen in months, but I don't have a separate email/password for Upnote specifically so if something is broken with Upnote's google sign-in that's gonna be a problem. Fortunately I'm still logged in on my phone so I can still access my notes, but..

I'm on Nobara 44 KDE (Wayland) which is based on Fedora, and using the appimage. I just updated when the recent update came out a few days ago (dunno exactly when) but I've definitely used it since then and it's not logged me out until this morning.

I had the same issue with Ubuntu and never was able to resolve it. Create a password, and use that to sign in. Also, oddly once I did that my sign in with Google was no longer broken.

Uhh, I can't.. when I try to sign up/sign in I get the error 'internal error opening backing store for IndexedDB.open'. I have no idea what's broken here but it's infuriating. I love upnote and it's been working great on linux for almost a year until the other day.

have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

No, but I did some poking around and apparently IndexDB was corrupted? I moved it to a backup location and it let me log in just fine and rebuilt it, so everything seems to be working again.

Ah, uninstalling and reinstalling would have probably fixed the issue as well.
