Don't use the deb packages in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/suzhe/xUbuntu_8.04/ for now. They are broken due to a bug.

Comment by tienhn, Sep 19, 2008

So I just get the tar file and rebuild right? Thanks,

I used this link to get the .DEB http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets and it works now. I need to uninstall the previous .DEBs completely first however.

Very nice. Thanks. Where should I report comments/bugs/praise etc.?

It appears that the .deb at http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets is for version 0.10.1 rather than 0.10.2. Are we any closer to a working .deb for Ubuntu?

There is a FreeBSD port available for Google Gadgets in the ports tree at deskutils/google-gadgets .

Google Gadgets is now officially in 11.1. Albeit it is only 0.10.1, but I do maintain the package and have an upgraded version that will get merged for the next release cycle.

See in: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hfiguiere/

(pick your distro version)

google-gadgets doesnt work for gtk on fedora and initially didnt work at all looking for a javascript runtime.

(ggl-gtk:2512): Gdk-CRITICAL : gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed

(ggl-gtk:2512): Gdk-CRITICAL : gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed

(ggl-gtk:2512): Gdk-CRITICAL : gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed

(ggl-gtk:2512): Gdk-CRITICAL : gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed The program 'ggl-gtk' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAtom? (invalid Atom parameter)'.

(Details: serial 366 error_code 5 request_code 19 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
