software installation - How to install Screenlets on Ubuntu 16.10? - Ask Ubuntu
how install screenlets on ubuntu 16.10? failed install terminal keeps telling me "unable locate package".
sudo apt-get install screenlets reading package lists... done building dependency tree reading state information... done e: unable locate package screenlets
the screenlet project has been dead long time: that's why can't find packages 16.04 or later. latest non-eol ubuntu has screenlets
package ubuntu 14.04 (trusty tahr).
i have old versions of package downloaded , installed them see if still work in 16.04. surprisingly of them work!
so here process can follow install them. note, didn't test on 16.10 , i'm not sure work, imho, will. ;-)
download older debs
screenlets
,screenlets-pack-all
screenlets
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/screenletsscreenlets-pack-all
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/screenlets-pack-all
install downloaded debs using
dpkg
. there dependency errors we'll fix them in step 4. assuming downloaded deb files in home, command be:sudo dpkg -i screenlets*.deb
now fix dependency errors (if any) command:
sudo apt-get -f install
this install additional required packages not satisfied manual installation via dpkg
.
