I just got a new Laptop with ubuntu 20.04
Trying to find the package to install glipper with
apt-cache search glipper
failed.
Is there a way to install it nonetheless? Is there a good alternative in ubuntu 20.4?
You can install it manually by downloading packages from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS repository:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glipper/glipper_2.4-6_all.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libappindicator/libappindicator1_12.10.1+16.04.20170215-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/multiarch-support_2.23-0ubuntu11.2_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libappindicator/python-appindicator_12.10.1+16.04.20170215-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python/python-gconf_2.28.1+dfsg-1.1_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-4ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/keybinder/python-keybinder_0.3.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./glipper_2.4-6_all.deb ./python-appindicator_12.10.1+16.04.20170215-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb ./python-gconf_2.28.1+dfsg-1.1_amd64.deb ./python-gtk2_2.24.0-4ubuntu1_amd64.deb ./python-keybinder_0.3.1-1_amd64.deb ./libappindicator1_12.10.1+16.04.20170215-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb ./multiarch-support_2.23-0ubuntu11.2_amd64.deb
and then launch with glipper. Confirmed to work normally at least on Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS.
