Install Cuttlefish in Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 13.10

Last updated: March 16, 2014

Cuttlefish is a simple tool, which realises reflexes on your computer by executing actions when specific events are triggered. You can configure the tool in such way that cuttlefish can for example change your default printer according to the currently connected wireless network. You can also lock/unlock your computer, when a specific USB device is dis/reconnected.

I tried uninstall and re-install it again. but still we couldn’t the same thing is happening. some one please help me up with it.

        uninstall and re-install does not work since it doesn’t remove the configurations by default. I’m not using Cuttlefish, but you may try removing Cuttlefish related folders under .cache .conf .gnome .gnome2 .cuttlefish. They are all hidden folders in your user Home (press Ctrl+H to show/hide them).
