I very recently came across org-roam and wanted to evaluate it for my needs (I’ve been using org-mode for some time). It looks very promising and after some reading and trying I thought to test the new branch v2. For what I think I will need, I guess v2 is the way to go and since I’m anyway starting new, I wanted to give it a shot. However, I kind of got stuck and after I have been meddling with this for the better part of a week now without significant progress I dearly hope someone here can help me.

Using this config from Jethro,

As I’m used to spacemacs and I like the theme for org better as for doom (I know, probably not the best reason
) I tried to make v2 work with spacemacs without luck.
This is my minimalistic relevant configuration part:(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/private/org-roam") (require 'org-roam) ; (require 'org-roam-graph) (require 'org-roam-protocol) (setq org-roam-directory "~/data/Notes/roam/"For capture I get an error
Could not read org-id-values from /Users/ben/.emacs.d/.cache/.org-id-locations. Setting it to nil. only after I manually call org-roam-setup can the new note be found with org-roam-node-insert
The note only shows up after I manually doorg-roam-db-sync.
The backlink buffer also doesn’t work as expected unlike in doom:
So my question is if there’s anyone out there who’s got a similar config as the one posted for doom working for spacemacs?

I also tried to install doom on a recent Ubuntu 20.04 with even less success. I tried the shipped emacs 26.3 and a self-compiled 27.2.

Btw, manually calling
org-roam-setupcreates a database but it’s empty. The setup is the same as on the Mac.
My apologies if it’s something obvious, but I stopped seeing the trees in the forst.
Thank you very much in advance and any help is much appreciated.

Ben
and I will try Ubuntu tomorrow. Thanks a million!
