    Question How to installl xsublim?

    Hi. I would like to use the program XSublim (http://www.issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp/super/...al/xsublim.htm).

    I searched already but I can't find the official page or the files to download. This program is not on the repositories.

    There is a few pages talking about it. Do you know another similar program that I could use?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Yeah, one more vote for this not being removed. Even if it's hard to use...I have been using a Win32 program in WINE, and it murders my system performance. keep xsublim!

    Re: How to installl xsublim?

    Hmmm.. this is not good... about 3 years and NO ONE can help? is it beneath people or something? lol

    I would dearly like to use ubuntu all the time and its so close to perfection... but i think ill have to go back to xp for a while as xsublim seems to be the only way to use subliminal messages on ubuntu and i NEED to quit smoking and really could use the extra help that they would provide me (Ive used them in the past to loose weight... from 28 stone to under 16 now, so even if it is psychosomatic... it works for me)...

    Please would someone deign to respond as to a) how to get xsublim installed... and b) how you actually set it up and use it!

    Thanks in advance! x

    I contacted Greg Knauss (the original author of xsublim) and asked him for the source code... he pointed me a the last xscreensaver version that included his program - I striped the source of xsublim out of xscreensaver added a new build environment and put it here:
    https://launchpad.net/xsublim

    Than I created all the Debian stuff and created some DEBs:
    https://launchpad.net/~schulz-alphar...rchive/xsublim

    Markus Schulz

    PS: I changed all the default negative messaged to positive.
    PPS: There will be some more changes soon, like display whole sentiences. A new --help option is already included. And all the options use -- now.
    PPPS: Looks like sometimes with compiz runnig it is not displaying - but this is intermittent and I'm not sure what's going on yet.

    I would love to get this program, but after following the instructions on https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html, I got this message:

    Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/schulz-alph...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

    Thanks, Markus, but after running this command
    sudo apt-get install xsublim
    I get this message:
    E: Couldn't find package xsublim

    I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and will be upgrading to 10.10 next month, if that makes a difference.

    There are only packages for 10.04 and 10.10 - you could try to download the 10.04 deb file and and use dpkg to force a install (I guess it could work)...
