Some googling shows 'python-gnome2' package has been deprecated after 18.04 ?
Does anyone knows if some workaround is available or if here is some update that allows Screenlets run on Ubuntu 19 ?
I want to install Screenlets and I tried the following bash:
#!/bin/bash
sudo dpkg -l python-wnck >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "Install python-wnck"
sudo apt -y install libwnck22
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken -y install
fi
sudo dpkg -l python-gnomekeyring >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "Install python-gnomekeyring"
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken -y install
fi
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:screenlets/ppa
sudo sed -i 's/bionic/xenial/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install screenlets screenlets-pack-all

I think sudo apt-get update doesn't work for me, but I don't know how I can fix this.

In Unity Ubuntu 11.10 how I can have a screenlet with a list of tasks to do?
For example:
1- Update system.
2- Check mailbox.
and so on.
Thanks in advance.
I have a problem with my screenlets. They change position on the screen after I restart the computer. This is a known bug according to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/screenlets/+bug/885322
However a temporary workaround could be to delay the startup of the screenlets to avoid this.
Now I wonder: How do I modify the ~/.config/autostart/xxx.desktop the best way to atchive this.
There is a comment in the bug report about Exec sleep 5 something, but I dont really understand how to write this exactly in the file.
Is there any otherway to solve this?
Using Ubuntu 11.10 and screenlets 0.1.5.
