Problem: Even though pastie is running it doesn't appear on Xfce panel's indicator-plugin. Well, this happens when the icon theme being used doesn't possess a "gtk-paste" icon. And that's what happens with the default Xubuntu 12.04 icon theme (elementary-xfce-dark). Fortunately, all we need to do is borrow a "gtk-paste" icon from the "Humanity" themes (it comes installed by default in Xubuntu 12.04), and this icon will work well in dark and light panels. Install Open a terminal window and run: # Create a symbolic link to the gtk-paste icon in elementary-xfce sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/16/gtk-paste.svg /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/actions/16/gtk-paste.svg sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/48/gtk-paste.svg /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/actions/48/gtk-paste.svg sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/24/gtk-paste.svg /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/actions/24/gtk-paste.svg sudo ln -s /usr...

Pastie is clipboard manager for Linux and a few posts back I talked about installing the deb package for Oneiric in Precise, however I noticed that in some cases the following error occurred: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/bin/pastie", line 29, in    import pastielib.cli as cli ImportError: No module named pastielib.cli I find out that installing it from source would solve the problem on that cases. Install Open a terminal window and run: # (Only if pastie is installed) Uninstall pastie sudo apt-get remove pastie -y # Install dependencies sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 python-keybinder # Get the sources and extract wget http://goo.gl/Xf2A7 -O - | tar xz # Change to pastie source directory and install pastie cd pastie_* sudo python setup.py install # Clean up by remove the pastie source directory cd .. && sudo rm -rf pastie_*/ Note: If pastie doesn't appear on Xfce panel see this .

Pastie is a clipboard manager program. In Oneiric it could be installed by adding a 3rd partie ppa, however at the moment there isn't a Precise build. I tried to manually install the deb package for Oneiric on Precise and it worked. Install First install the python-gnome2 dependency: sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 python-keybinder Then navigate to http://goo.gl/UtNPI and download the deb file (something like pastie_0.6.7.5~ppam1_all.deb). Finally install the deb file, either by opening it with "Ubuntu Software Center" or using a terminal window: sudo dpkg -i pastie*.deb
