I would like to install gnome-schedule in my recent Ubuntu 16.04 but I can't find the how. It is not in ubuntu software and if I type sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule, I get it's not found. I would like to use it because I find it quick and easy to use. I've been looking for alternatives but instead of "when" which I don't like, I can't find anything else, so help is welcome.

  • gnome-schedule has been deprecated. Here the the August 2017 solution for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: https://askubuntu.com/questions/942401/how-to-control-cron-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts – SDsolar Aug 03 '17 at 22:00

gnome-schedule is indeed not in the official Ubuntu repositories for Ubuntu 16.04.

However, at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-schedule/+bug/1576060/comments/23, Kartik (kartik-arora95) has kindly compiled a .deb package for version 2.3.0 of Gnome Schedule that is reportedly working for Ubuntu 16.04. Download the .deb package provided at the aforementioned link and then install it using:

sudo dpkg -i gnome-schedule_2.3.0-0ubuntu16.04_amd64.deb

Used gnome-schedule for many years in many earlier versions of Ubuntu. Nice one. Ubuntu 16.04 not having gnome-schedule is highly inconvenient. A verified source is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/gnome-schedule

You will require to compile from sources.

    I wrote an answer that details how to install it using a `.deb` package provided by a user at `gnome-schedule`'s Launchpad repository. See if it works for you. – edwinksl Aug 07 '16 at 04:27

I have compiled gnome-scheduler for 16.04 by editing the Ubuntu source package for Natty a bit. Here you go https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-schedule/+bug/1576060/comments/35
