hi there dear linux-freaks
well i run clipgrab 3.2.0.10 on opensuse 12.2
all went nice for months - untill today:
today while launching the clipgrab i got the message
could not grab the title
question how can i update the clipgrab on the system
with
yast or the use of the terminal!?
look forward to hear from you
greetings
So You can download and run the latest version from their website here: http://clipgrab.de/download/clipgrab-3.2.0.11.bz2, but the posted version there is 32 bit and to get it to run I had to install libQtWebKit4-32bit which installed more than two dozen other 32 bit files. Basically the procedure would be to download the file and extract the file clipgrab-3.2.0.11. You must mark it executable, rename it clipgrab and then over write the original file /use/bin/clipgrab as root. You must open YaST, search for libQtWebKit4-32bit and install the 32 bit files from YaST. It should then run as normal. clipgrab is being supplied by Packman and so a word to them that the package needs an upgrade might help others here as the old one no longer is working.
Thank You,
hello dear James
many many thanks for the answer.
well is there no more elegant or let me say nicer way to upgrade & update the clipgrab
ain ´t there no way to do it straigthforward with - let me say terminal or so°!?
No, but I wrote one for you. So, for those unable or unwilling to handle this task, I have written a bash script to do this for you. Open up a terminal session, copy the text from the code field below and paste it into a terminal session and press enter.
rm ~/bin/get_clipgrab ; wget -nc http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/22042693 -O ~/bin/get_clipgrab ; chmod +x ~/bin/get_clipgrab ; get_clipgrab
You will be asked several questions and based on your response, all or part of clipgrab, including many 32 bit files, will be installed for you. Until such time as Packman updates their version, this is the best fix I can provide for you.
Enjoy …
Hello der James
many many thanks for you crative & supportive help. This is really overwhelming!
i do as you adviced me.
mille grazie.
I was happy to help and the clipgrab application is a good one to have working. Its the details that kills you and its hard to write an all encompassing bash script that works for all users and does not mess up something. With the procedure working, I can adapt it to do some other bidding I presume. The basic problem with it is, it will not adjust to future version changes and very likely it will be obsolete in the near future because Packman will update their repository with the newer version.
Thank You,
hello dear James
unfortunatly i run into some troubles…

hmmm - seems that i have been stuck…!?` What can we do now!?
look forward to hear from you
So I do have openSUSE 12.3 installed, not 12.2 and I tested it on three computers and it did work just fine. I also see that Clipgrab has been updated to the correct version in Packman for openSUSE 12.3, but I am not sure about 12.2, but you might look and see if you can just update from there.
Thank You,
hi James
i run 12.2 - and i still got stuck with the update of clipgrab
but - i wanted to update to 12.3 anyway
perhaps it is a good thing to do this step first.
i wiil do this within the next few days and then i come baack and report all my findings
greetings
OK, make sure to read this page before you proceed: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade and good luck.
Thank You,
The latest version of clipgrab is available as a rpm from the packman website:
good day dear dth
