  1. Unable to locate package clipgrab

    • The PPA removed packages for Ubuntu 13.04. Now it supports only Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 12.04 and their derivatives

  2. Perfect, thank you!
    I especially liked the advise to make the program executeable, I never dreamed of something like that…thanks mate.

  3. Perfect, into mint 17.1

  4. Thanks for easily understandable information, unlike most Linux “geeks” who seem to specialize in confusing newcomers with jargon! I have just installed ClipGrab using your information into Mint 18.1 I have just downloaded the update (clipgrab-3.6.4-hx6850-update.tar.bz2) It’s tar bz2 format, now I am confused how to deal with this. Any nice simple help?
