Any type of operating system that I wanted to be able to hack, I basically compromised the source code, copied it over to the university because I didn’t have enough space on my 200 megabyte hard drive.

That looks like a pretty cool calendar to have on the desktop, the only thing I don’t like about widgets on my desktop is they seem to eat up resources if I am doing a lot of multi tasking

It’s nice, very nice. Concise instructions, thanks. “Get more skins” didn’t produce anything for me, but I see just a browse around will find you plenty. Might go for one of those pinball skins!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

I just couldn’t use Terminal to do it. Sudo commands get weird on my install even for Duck’s normal ones. It should do that but it won’t. It isn’t just the calender program. I couldn’t have a normal install of anything.

hey guys, im pretty new at linux aswell, but so far ive successfully installed rainlendar. go straight to the rainlender website and download the linux .deb file, this acts like a MS .exe files and automatically installs it for you, no worries.

to make rainlendar launch at startup — system->preferences->sessions->add
then add a new entry and for command type “rainlendar2″. this should now startup

so far ive notived that the majority of skins for rainlendar contain .ini files instead of .xml files, and that they are properly organised. most skins ive tried do not work, however i have found one, the ”Sidewall” skins (google search it) works worderfully

Hi,
For ecri19 and nqsonk9, this might work:

kubi, i had exactly the same problem.
i created an empty file /home/xxx/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini
after that the app started up normally

hope that helps

Thanks,

Hi arsgeek
thank you very much for your help
Now it runs
I have done it with
Rainlendar-Lite-2.1.tar.bz2
and all runs.
May be the last version Rainlendar-Lite-2.2.tar.bz2 is not good ?
Bye !

Hi ecri19,

Sounds like you don’t have the correct permissions set on the ./rainlendar2 directory.

cd ./config

ls -las | grep .rain*

Let me know what the permissions are.

Thanks arsgeek but on my ubuntu 7.04 It doesn’t run.
I have these 2 messages :

“Failed to touch the file ‘/home/jmd/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini’ (error 2: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type)”
and
“unable to create configuration file : /home/myname/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini
Make sure that the folder has write permissions”

I am a newbe on linux and my language is french…

Thanks for your answers

Fantastic program. Good bye Google Calender.
The however in my case was Duck threw a fit in Terminal and wouldn’t install. It is in and it works at the moment. I just couldn’t use Terminal to do it. Sudo commands get weird on my install even for Duck’s normal ones. It should do that but it won’t. It isn’t just the calender program. I couldn’t have a normal install of anything… even an OS

Hi Naser,

Glad I could help.

What distro are your running? I’ve got a /etc/opt and a /opt under 7.04.

By: naser

naser — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:14:49 +0000

Thanks a heap man I so needed those instructions.

One thing to add though, I didn’t have any /opt/ folder in my home directory, it was inside the folder /etc. So instead of the code you’ve give above, I had to use “sudo mv rainlendar2 /etc/opt/“,” /etc/opt/rainlendar2/rainlendar2” etc.

Thanks again.
