Comment 10 for bug 962449

For ubuntu 12.04. I made this :

sudo apt-get build-dep desktopnova-module-gnome
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts libdconf-dev
mkdir Desktopnova-tmp
cd Desktopnova-tmp
apt-get source desktopnova-module-gnome
cd desktopnova-0.8.1
mkdir debian/patches
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/desktopnova/+bug/962449/+attachment/3154970/+files/01_fix_12.04 -O debian/patches/01_fix_12.04
echo 01_fix_12.04 > debian/patches/series
debuild -us -uc -i -I

Install the package which are needed (with gdebi or software center).
For example, for gnome, I only use desktopnova_0.8.1*.deb and desktopnova-module-gnome_0.8.1*.deb because I use Indicator-desktopnova (https://launchpad.net/indicator-desktopnova).

First, you need to configure desktopnova. Start desktopnovo, go to settings and select the correct module. Save the settings and start the daemon with desktopnova-daemon.

(The "debchange -i" is not really necessary.)

Asks if you have got problems.
