use Magick Rotation version 1.7 :
go to launchpad.net, clic "code" in the upper part of the page, then « 45 », then download Tarball.
Decompress the archive file , then copy the content of MagickAdminTeam/Magick.../Unstable in a folder you create, let's say XYZ.
Install (gksu) python-appindicator via " la logithèque" (this is the french name, i suppose in english something like "application library").
Magick Rotation should be running : an icon should be present in the upper right corner of the screen, a red box.
The problem at this stage is that a file called « magick-rotation.xml » is missing. It is necessary to automatically launch the application at startup.
To create this file, right clic on the icon, choose Setup. Modify the setup (for me , in Advanced setup : Rotation state : inverted, delete run before .. after.., unmark " allow notification"). Then record the new setup.The « magick-rotation.xml » file should have been created, an then the application should now start automatically at startup.
Hi Trevor,
Here is the method i followed :
use Magick Rotation version 1.7 : /Magick. ../Unstable in a folder you create, let's say XYZ.
go to launchpad.net, clic "code" in the upper part of the page, then « 45 », then download Tarball.
Decompress the archive file , then copy the content of MagickAdminTeam
Install (gksu) python-appindicator via " la logithèque" (this is the french name, i suppose in english something like "application library").
Then follow installer.txt :
sudo apt-get install gcc libx11-dev libxrandr-dev
cd /home/YourUserN ame/XYZ/ Magick- Rotation
gcc check.c -o checkmagick32 -lX11 -lXrandr
sudo mv /home/YourUserN ame/XYZ/ Magick- Rotation/ checkmagick32 /usr/bin/ checkmagick32
sudo cp /home/YourUserN ame/XYZ/ Magick- Rotation/ 62-magick. rules /etc/udev/ rules.d/ 62-magick. rules
sudo groupadd magick
sudo gpasswd -a pv magick
Then, restart computer.
Launch Magick rotation in console mode in a terminal :
/home/YourUserN ame/XYZ/ Magick- Rotation/ magick- rotation
Magick Rotation should be running : an icon should be present in the upper right corner of the screen, a red box.
The problem at this stage is that a file called « magick-rotation.xml » is missing. It is necessary to automatically launch the application at startup.
To create this file, right clic on the icon, choose Setup. Modify the setup (for me , in Advanced setup : Rotation state : inverted, delete run before .. after.., unmark " allow notification"). Then record the new setup.The « magick-rotation.xml » file should have been created, an then the application should now start automatically at startup.
