I want to install Screenlets and I tried the following bash:

#!/bin/bash

sudo dpkg -l python-wnck >/dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? == 0 ]; then

  echo "OK"

else

  echo "Install python-wnck"

  sudo apt -y install libwnck22

  wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

  sudo dpkg -i python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

  sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

fi

sudo dpkg -l python-gnomekeyring >/dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? == 0 ]; then

  echo "OK"

else

  echo "Install python-gnomekeyring"

  wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

  sudo dpkg -i python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

  sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

fi

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:screenlets/ppa

sudo sed -i 's/bionic/xenial/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install screenlets screenlets-pack-all

But all I get is this:

tobi@tobi-System-Product-Name:~$ #!/bin/bash

tobi@tobi-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo dpkg -l python-wnck >/dev/null 2>&1

tobi@tobi-System-Product-Name:~$ if [ $? == 0 ]; then

>   sudo apt -y install libwnck22

>   sudo dpkg -i python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

>   sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

> fi

OK

tobi@tobi-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo dpkg -l python-gnomekeyring >/dev/null 2>&1

tobi@tobi-System-Product-Name:~$ if [ $? == 0 ]; then

>   echo "OK"

>   wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

>   sudo dpkg -i python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

>   sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

> fi

OK

I think sudo apt-get update doesn't work for me, but I don't know how I can fix this.

The add-apt-repository command is located in software-properties-common. You need to install it first:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Then you may want to remove or edit paths for problematic PPAs:

1. GetDeb.net is often down. You should follow this answer and edit corresponding sources.list.




2. The inameiname/stable PPA does not have files for Bionic (but have for Xenial). You should edit its sources.list and change bionic to xenial.

Then you will be able to update package lists and retry your procedure.

As the result you will get ScreenLets installed and can configure them with screenlets:

Note: for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS one can use official PPA - ppa:screenlets/ppa.
