    Tomboy Notes in Kubuntu

    I just switched from Ubuntu to Kubuntu on my laptop using the "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" command. Everything works great (so far), but I am completely addicted to Tomboy notes, and I can't get it to run right. According to this thread, I need to have the right gtk libraries installed:

    Anyone know what I need to have installed for it work correctly?

    If you installed tomboy via Adept Manager, then it should 'just work.' tomboy is available for installation in the repositories, and available through Adept. How did you install it?

      I did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 (Gnome version) a month or so ago - and that's where I got it from. I haven't done an install of it through adept. Should I uninstall it and then reinstall, or just try to install it again through adept and see if it picks up the correct libraries?

        Myself, I'd attempt a simulated install from the command line (console) so I could see what would happen. Open a console and type:
        Code:
        sudo apt-get install --simulate tomboy
        If you don't see any reported errors and/or conflicts, then you can simply install with:
        Code:
        sudo apt-get install tomboy

          it just said that tomboy was the latest version and so nothing was installed.

          should I remove it first?

          ps - both your code lines looked exactly the same to me...what's the difference between doing a simulated install and a real one?

            Thank's for catching the 'error' in the coding for the first item. I've corrected it.

            If Adept is reporting 'latest version' then it is already installed. Is the program in the K Menu at all?

              yeah, it's in the menus under utilities.

                Re: Tomboy Notes in Kubuntu

                If it's in the K Menu, why are you attempting to run it from a console shell? What happens when you just select it from within the K Menu?

                  Re: Tomboy Notes in Kubuntu

                  It does nothing when i try to run it from th K menu. I ran it in Console to see what sort of error message I was getting.

                  do you think I should just remove it and then reinstall it from within Kubuntu to see if that grabs the right depedencies?

                    That's probably "what I would do," but first, I'd want to ensure that your actual notes are stored 'safely' in your ~ directory. In Kubuntu, personal settings are in the hidden file .kde in the users ~ directory. I don't use Gnome, so I don't know if a similar configuration exists in that Desktop environment.

                      Re: Tomboy Notes in Kubuntu

                      okay. I've removed it and reinstalled it (via Konsole) and here's the weird part. It seems to run fine through Konsole, but I can't get it to start through the K menu or using a quick launch button. Irritating, but a work-around. I even tried hitting Alt+F2 and trying to run it through that, but no luck either.

                      I dunno, I'd rather be able to run it through the menu or a quicklauncher, but if I have to use the terminal, then I guess I will. I just hate keeping a terminal open while I work...
