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. ;-)

  1. download older debs screenlets , screenlets-pack-all

  2. 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

  3. now fix dependency errors (if any) command:

    sudo apt-get -f install

this install additional required packages not satisfied manual installation via dpkg.

here screenshot of desktop screenlets working.
