Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: adeskbar problem after today -Syu

With the new python updates in Arch there are indeed some problems with adeskbar:

[paul@archbang ~]$ adeskbar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/adeskbar", line 30, in
import adesk.bar
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/adesk/bar.py", line 292
print '------------------------------------'
^

On http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26910 the Aur page for adeskbar a solution is presented that didn't work for me at first. After copying from pastebin the adapted PKGBUILD I got this error:" ERROR: PKGBUILD contains CRLF characters and cannot be sourced."

Solved this by not using geany but leafpad and cut and paste text there.

Procedure:
First uninstall old package.
Put the PKGBUILD and the package.install file (http://aur.pastebin.com/pnyS0vsv) in one folder.
Open terminal in that folder and do:
makepkg -sci PKGBUILD
This will build and install the new package.
