Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 
I have read this page a couple of times, but i dont really get it.
But they are explaining the use of debian directory and the use of a file named postinst.
It could be worth a try to create those files and see whats happens...

I'll have a look.
The screen of my old Acer Aspire 3620 broke (still working somehow, but no fun to use). Now I'll try to fight my deep sorrow with a Dell Latitude E6420 (not arrived yet). :D
So it will take a few days

@sethka
I have looked at the first page and still dont understand how to make it work.Till now what i did is
1.installed deskypplet from repos
2.placed the attached file in home/user and untarred it.It showed lot of png files
3.installed Dbus-switchboard and rebooted.
Now what should i do?I am sorry for being such noobish fellow.
Thank you.

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 
sounds to me as you have unpacked it with command line without preserving the folder structure. These icons should be in .deskypplet/icons. Either create a folder .deskypplet/icons and move the icons there and the config files to ./deskypplet. Or delete the icons and conf and try again

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 
Thanks for quick reply.The directory .deskpplet is there in /home/user and it has all the folders intact including icons.I think everything is in right condition.If it is so, will it create an icon menu?
Thank you.

@udaychaitanya16
It is a widget, so it doesnt show up in the maemo-menu at all.
Open the desktop-config mode, and add the "desk ypplet applet" to one of your homescreens.

Re: [Announce] Deskypplet
 
I don't get your problem.
If there are icons in the .deskypplet/icons folder it should work.
What is the problem

Well, now i have checked a lot of git repositories i the garage and it seems like the installscript is named postinst in the debian directory :D
