Installation error

[makrug]

Ubuntu 13.10

On installation I got the following error:- mark@mark-MS-7788:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i kidtimer_2.2-4.deb [sudo] password for mark: Selecting previously unselected package kidtimer. (Reading database ... 231446 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking kidtimer (from kidtimer_2.2-4.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kidtimer: kidtimer depends on at; however: Package at is not installed.

dpkg: error processing kidtimer (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: kidtimer mark@mark-MS-7788:~/Downloads$

After installation I managed to set up a user fine, but the system does not shut down after the time limits have been reached. I also see an error message in the taskbar as attached.

The problem seems to be related to the countdown timer, not the blocked hours in the day. If I try to log in before or after the allowed time slot then all is well and I'm blocked. If I exceed my allowed time slot then I'm allowed to continue (no forced logout) provided that I don't log out myself. If I log out and my allowable duration has been exceeded then I'm kept out and not allowed to log back in. This will be really great if it can be made to work - Nanny and Timekpr have left a big hole that this promises to fill quite nicely. Grover66, your work is appreciated - I would pay for this functionality.

Will try to work on it this weekend.

Thanks,

Mike :)

@makrug Kidtimer is working well on my Ubuntu 13.10 and 13.04. Ther error message is quite explicit, "at" is missing in your installation for whatever reason. you should install it by using "sudo apt-get install at". I assume the kidtimer script requires the at command.

[grover66]

yes!! Did you use Software-Center to install it or dpkg -i ?

I downloaded the deb package and installed it using:- mark@mark-MS-7788:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i kidtimer_2.2-4.deb. Didn't know how to use the Software Centre option. Have just installed "at" (whatever that is and will re-test).

[makrug1]

Ha, now I see it in Software Centre - didn't find it a few days back. All seems peachy fine now. Got a Donations link somewhere Mike?

When you went clicked on the link to download it (in your browser), it should have given you an option to open it in Ubuntu Software Center. This is the graphical frontend to apt-get. It deals with dependancies, where dpkg -i will still install it, but without installing dependancies. You can always run sudo apt-get -f install afterwards to install the dependencies afterwards.

It does require it... But dpkg -i kidtimer will still install kidtimer, but only give a message about the missing dependencies. apt-get -f install cleans up afterwards.
