[SOLVED] lost beryl icon after upgraded ubuntu 7.04

[chess314]

so i upgraded to 7.04 and now my beryl icon is gone, and my theme is gone. i assume im using some new built in version of beryl and not the one i had before the upgrade. what should i run to get the old beryl back?

Thanks

Did you read the unofficial how-to by Adam?

Do you still have beryl installed at all? What does synaptic show?

ya beryls installed. i just lost my little icon so i cant turn it on.
however i can turn on whatever version came with the newest ubuntu.

[adamk]

Are you using gnome? If so, go into the sessions control panel, add a new startup program called "Beryl Manager" with the command "/usr/bin/beryl-manager", and then restart X. Hopefully the beryl icon will show up then.

hmm, beryl-manager doesnt appear to be installed. it wont run when i type that form the command prompt.

maybe it would be easier just to use the version that came with ubuntu. but how to i change the settings on this one?

Thanks

You can probably just install beryl-manager via synaptic (or apt-get) without any problems.

thanks, what should i add to my sources list to find that?

[adamk]

You shouldn't have to add anything. It's in the universe repository, so you may have to uncomment that particular line, but it will already be in your sources.list file already.

universe is uncommented yet there is no "beryl-manager" when i search for "beryl" i see
beryl-core
beryl-plugins
beryl-plugins-data
emerald
and some libs

[adamk]

What do your universe lines look like? Because it's definitely there:

Have you run a 'sudo apt-get update' recently? I commented out all repositories but those two, ran an update, and was able to pull beryl-manager.
