General Support / [Solved]xfce-goodies
March 25, 2013, 03:23:23 AM
I've been playing around with VSIDO in a VM.  I've noticed that a lot of the applets that are available on my Debian Testing XFCE box are missing off of this.  I think that the package called xfce4-goodies would add them, however when I try to install them I am getting the error below.  I'm sure how to fix.

bodam@bodam-vsido:~$ sudo apt-get install xfce4-goodies

My mistake it was James Eriksen.  He does the MintCast Podcast but he mentioned it on the MintCast community on Google+ (specifically https://plus.google.com/111178798515839731682/posts/N5d5rQynsTT)

Let me say that I am really liking this distro...a lot.  Up until the near future (I am getting a new box), I have stuck to the usual distros (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian Stable & Mint).  I tried this one in a VM on a suggestion from Larry Bushey (Going Linux) and I really like it.  Plus all of you seem to be very nice (and patient)!   Everything works swimmingly in the VM and when I live-booted my all of my hardware except for my wireless was detected. (I hope it's not too hard to fix).

On a sidenote:  Your distro in a VM is faster than my host distro!

Sorry if I'm becomming a pain but this distro is quite a departure to my usual fare. 

Is there an update manager for this distro?  I know that i could install update-manager-core and update-manager-gnome but is there one for xcfe?  Does everyone just run an apt-get upgrade every once and in a while?

No, I was looking for a tool to manage users.  I know about the command line but I was curious if this distro included a GUI tool to do that.  It looks like it doesn't.  Not that this is a big deal.

I can't find a GUI tool for adding/deleting additional users?  Does this distro have one?

Did some digging on the Moneydance site and they had a different package labeled for 64 bit.  I removed the other package and installed....now everything works.  Funny thing is that I did not get an error when trying to install the other package....

Hey...that did it.  I had to fiddle with the sources line a little bit from what's in the article but Spotify is now installed.  Thanks

I cannot seem to install Spotify on my system.   The instructions from their website is as follows:

Debian
# 1. Add this line to your list of repositories by
#    editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

# 2. If you want to verify the downloaded packages,
#    you will need to add our public key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59

# 3. Run apt-get update
sudo apt-get update

# 4. Install spotify!
sudo apt-get install spotify-client


When I get to the last step I get the messages below.  Any suggestions?

bodam@bodam-vsido:~$ sudo apt-get install spotify-client

I'm looking at VSIDO as a replacement for my main OS but there are a few apps that I need working in order to move.  One of them is MoneyDance.  I attempted to install their deb file and it appeared to install correctly but when I try to run it I get the errors below.  I've never seen this before with debian stable or mint so any suggestions are welcome.
