gDesklets

[shrike]

I'm having problems with gDesklets. I've installed version 0.30, and have also installed the lt-Gmail and Weather Display desklets.

When I try and run the things, it gives 2 messages:

lt-Gmail:

and Weather Display:

Image 3 Image 4

I know that the desklets are installed correctly, because it said that I could drag the download link into the gdesklets shell window, and that's what I did.

Are there some hidden dependancies that I'm missing?

I havent used this program, but just googled it to see what it was and noticed 0.32 is the latest one so maybe try updating?

Instead of dragging them into the gDesklets shell, try actually installing them manually by typing ./Name_of_sensor just to make sure they are installed, because sometimes the gDesklets shell can screw up like that.

nope... still no go.

Some desklets depend on other, for example the weather desklet uses the border system from the psi pack, so try downloading this :

http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categori...pp&gd_app_id=38

And so forth...

still no go.

First lets see if we can get a simple one to work,download the clock from here and save it as is. http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categori...pp&gd_app_id=12

Next gdesklets start

next right click on the gdesklets icon

next manage desklets

next file install package you just downloaded

next run display

what happens?

[shrike]

I actually uninstalled gDesklets, but I'm happy to try again. Version 0.30 is now installed... again.

oh... and welcome to Neowin.
