rainlendar2
#1
I have three computers, a desk top, a 17" laptop and a small laptop. They were all running LL 3.8. I use a package called rainlendar2 which is for a desktop calendar and event reminder. Probably no one on the forum has heard of it. This package ran happily on all three computers. Now I have upgraded the large laptop to LL 4.0 and suddenly, for no apparent reason, rainlendar2 just will not work. I have installed it via a deb file, and it reported that it was installed correctly. But, when I start it up nothing seems to happen. If I try again to see what happens I am asked if I want to start a second example as rainlendar2 seems to be already running. But there is no sign of it. If I run ps -e I can see a PID for it, so the computer seems to think it is running.

I really don't know where to look. Any suggestions please about where to go next please? I have not yet upgraded the desk top or the small laptop, so the package is working fine on them.

[size=1em]Hi Barnaby[/size]

[size=1em]I went to the Rainlendar website here (http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?...&Itemid=30) and found this under system requirements:[/size]

[size=1em]Linux System Requirements[/size]
[size=1em]-------------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]Ubuntu 16.04 or newer (equivalent Linux distributions should work too).[/size]
[size=1em]32bit or 64bit operating system[/size]
[size=1em]20 MB of available hard disk space[/size]
[size=1em]1 GB of RAM or higher recommended[/size]
[size=1em]Window manager capable of showing transparent windows[/size]

[size=1em]The first line seems to indicate it may not be fully tested/compatible with Ubuntu 18.04 (yet) and - LL4 is based on Ubuntu 18.04.[/size]

[size=1em]Then I went to the Rainlendar forum here (http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?...3&id=25226) and noticed this post Ubuntu 18.04lts installation. It seems to indicate the installation problem you're experiencing could be a known issue. It also makes reference to possible additional threads on the issue but posted under different headings.[/size]

Thanks for that. It seems the there is a problem, and that rainlendar does not yet work properly in ubuntu 18.04. Several people are having problems. I will look out to see if it gets resolved.
