[SOLVED] Sublets do not work upon installation
Added by tasty minerals almost 13 years ago
I've downloaded clock_0.33 sublet, unpacked and installed 3 files to separate dirs:
/etc/xdg/subtle/sublets
/etc/xdg/subtle/specifications
/etc/xdg/subtle/icons
After that I added to subtle.rb
sublet :clock do
interval 30
foreground "#eeeeee"
background "#000000"
format_string "%H:%M:%S"
end
But nothing seem to work after I restart subtle. What am I missing?

thank you.
For some reason I can't use sur.
$ sur install clock
ERROR: Couldn't find the gem `rubygems'
Please install it with following command:
gem install rubygems
$ gem install rubygems
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubygems' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: Possible alternatives: rubygame, eyrubygems, rubyless, rubydeps, brewbygems

Hm, Debian by any chance?

Yes, ubuntu.
One more question, how do I configure sublets, there is only a sample for clock. What about other sublets, is there a readme with available config options anywhere? Like font color, or where is the documentation for a sublet? It seems like using for example gnome-volume-applet is way easier, due to point-click functionality.

Debian is a special case, you need to install rubygems from their repo.
Sublets come with their own docs, when the author added some.
Information about the sublets: sur info subletname
Config options: sur config subletname
And you surely agree, that the config shouldn't include examples for all possible sublets, since they are user-contributed, right? ;)
