Gnome Hebrew calendar applet

| Posted by Moishe Beshkin in Reviews

Using Linux as a computer OS, I looker for a simple and user-friendly program for displaying Jewish dates.
Google helps as usual and I found HDate applet for Gnome.

Ubuntu has it in main repositories.

$ sudo apt-get install hdate-applet

After installation just add applet to panel. In my Gnome with Ubuntu 9.10 it looks like this.
gHcal - Hebrew Calendarghcal_applet

Unfortunately, not everything is so good as we want. Seems that development finished in February 2008. So, some issue still persist in the program.
ghcal_options
Leave Time Zone setting value 0.00. Otherwise it will plus to current time timezone difference.

    Moishe,
    Have a look at http://code.google.com/p/android-zmanim/ and http://code.google.com/p/luach/ for some related projects that you may want to blog about.

      Thank you for interesting links.
      Unfortunately, i have no Android phone to on this Android zmanim program. But I have a small boyish dream ;) and as soon as I will fulfill it, I will definitely write observation on it.
      About the second link, i definitely write in nearest future

          Problem also with your hdate !
          Package ‘hdate-applet’ has no installation candidate

            Daniel,
            I see it in Ubuntu repos. What distribution do you use?
