[Ubuntu-manual] Quickshot problems

Hello, I'm Jörn and Lubuntu-QA member for a few weeks. Phill asked me if I could help with a python tool which doesn't works the way it should. He wasn't sure if the Quickshot-project on Launchpad was the right one, or if there are forks and stuff. Can you tell me the direction? Hope I can he

I agree. It'll be a lot easier now, while the Lubuntu manual sheet is at the bare minimum. Also Jim, on both sheets (I'm pointing it out to you so you can fix the Ubuntu Manual one), Chapter 6 and 7 are backwards. Chapter 6 should be "Advanced Topics" and Chapter 7 should be "Troubleshooting) if

Hi Jonathon, I tweaked your script a little, as I've already got a Projects directory and the upstream Tex-Live installed. When I ran the install-pkgs.sh script as part of your script, it says that I don't have any Tex-Live installed at all. Here's a copy/paste of the results of your script and t

You might want to contact the maintainers of the texlive ppa to see if they'd be willing to help (or take it over). Let them know that it works on 12.04, and what changes you needed to make to get it working. Have a great day.:) Patrick. On Thu, 2013-06-13 at 12:50 -0400, Jeremy Bicha wrote: > O

Also the link you referenced in your email opens up the "Authors and Editors 13.04" doc--not Saucy L (at least that's how it appears to me). You might need to share it with those of us who are going to help out, so we can see the other file. Have a great day.:) Patrick. On Thu, 2013-06-13 at 16:4

Re: [Ubuntu-manual] Quickshot 2.0 - Creating a PPA

Well, I have figured out many problems as to why it is incomparable with any version higher than 10.04. The main problem is that Quickshot is written in Python running on GTK+ 2. All of the code MUST be updated to the newest versions of PyGK and GTK+ 3. I, unfortunately, do not know how to go
