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?

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.
