I cannot seem to open "install.sh". When I put sudo sh install.sh into the terminal I get "sh: Can't open install.sh". Why is this happening? I opened the terminal in the same place as the files.

http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-glob...allingonUbuntu official howto and link to packages from the global menu dev team.

note you'll find links to packages and instructions for both gutsy and hardy on this page.

That's nice and all, but none of their pages have any information at all about the Xfce panel applet or a debian package for it. In fact the package of Hardy deb files at http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-glob...downloads/list is missing it as well with svn964. Has anyone made a package for Xfce? I spent several hours trying to get the SVN to compile today, but autoconf constantly reports missing stuff even after I disable gtk-doc and install every single gtk-doc related package in Synaptic.

Actually, I think nobody have made a deb for xfce applet.
But, IMO, you can safely ignore autoconf messages and then run configure with the option that make the xfce applet.
Let us know if you manage to compile and if it works, or if you didn't try to post as much infos (debug output, errors) as you can here.

Greetings.

I am on trip, spending most of my time with my girlfriend.
The developing is almost halted.

Nevertheless I got some new ideas and I plan to finish them in the 0.5-devel branch later this month.

launchpad is kind of slow to access in china, comparing with googlecode.

Wonderful addon! Great job.

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but banshee-1 shows up as "Nereid" for the app name, and if the notification icon is enabled a white spot appears on the panel.

Any fixes?

Just a bit off-topic:
I wanted to highlight this project which is doing the same efforts for a document-centric Gnome as Gnomenu.

It's about bringing coverflow and quicklook to Nautilus. It's called Gloobus , and if any of you wish to help, it's welcome.

This issue will be solved in 0.5 (next version)
