I'm the author of Savepress and can assure you that it works just fine, at least on my own device installed with Fapman and apt-get. Only had one person testing it yet and as far as I know he managed to get it working out of the box. This is my first ever application and I don't have a linux background, which means i can't really relate to your problem and therefore can't help you much, sorry :/
What method did you use to install it?


Btw,
Just uploaded version 0.3-3 and a new package called savepress-editor, a GUI to configure the settings (to be a little non-xterm friendlier).
