I recently upgraded to 16.10 and found most things that worked in 15.10 are working in 16.10 - - with one notable exception: gnome-schedule.

Many of the suite of gnome utilities are in 16.10 but not gnome-schedule.

Downloaded the source code for gnome-schedule v 2.3 and it says it needs autoconf v 1.7 - - 16.10 says that v 1.5 is the latest. errrrr!

Any chance we can get gnome-schedule added to Ubuntu repositories anything soon?

  • Found a Debian release of gnome-schedule_2.1.1-4_all.deb but it would not install on 16.10 – user232063 Dec 17 '16 at 15:39
  • try to install dependancies using `sudo apt install python-gtk2-dev python-gconf at gnome-doc-utils scrollkeeper`. – Rahul Dec 17 '16 at 15:42
  • 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 22:02

gnome-schedule was removed from Debian and Ubuntu because it's very old and hasn't been updated in years. The last supported version of Ubuntu to still have it available in the repositories is 14.04 LTS.

Ubuntu 15.10 is no longer supported.
