Re: [sshmenu] Can't install sshmenu

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

Sorry, SSHMenu is pretty much abandonware at this point.

The main problem with trying to run SSHMenu on a modern desktop is that
neither Unity nor Gnome3 really support applets any more.  For a while I
was running XFCE and managed to run the standalone version of SSHMenu in
the panel using the capture applet.  I have since moved to Gnome3 -
which I quite like, but the panel extensions are all Javascript-based so
the existing SSHMenu Ruby code isn't compatible.

You may be able to make the existing code work in standalone mode, but
you'd need to check out the code from the repo (rather than install from
OS packages) and probably tweak a few things to work with the latest
Ruby-GTK libraries.

Regards
Grant
