Installing gdesklets on Ubuntu
June 4, 2009 – 12:01 amI’m install gdesklets using this command:
sudo apt-get install -y gdesklets
After the installation, i’m trying to open the app (Application > Accessories > gDesklets), this error come out.
Failed to execute child process "gdesklets" (No such file or directory)
To solve the problem..
1. Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Quick Search, enter “python2.5″ (without quotation marks).
3. Check the package and Apply.
This is because GDesklet is trying to use Python 2.5, but only 2.6 is installed.
In order to start gDesklets automatically everytime you log in into your system we have to add gdesklets to the session-startup-programs.For this you need to go to Systems—>Preferences—> Startup Application, then click add..
Add all the following details and click on ok.

Dump gdesklets… go with Conky, http://conky.sourceforge.net/ . You can do anything with Conky… ANYTHING.. and much better looking.
