Installing Rainlendar2 on Ubuntu
Rainlendar is a calendar application that doesn't take up much space on your desktop. You can use it to keep track of events and tasks, and with the pro version you even can sync with network calendars.
Installing rainlendar on ubuntu is extremely simple. Just download the file and extract it wherever you feel like.
Just double-click on the rainlendar file in the extracted directory to run it. Here's what the calendar looks like:
To make it start up automatically when you login to ubuntu, go to System \ Preferences \ Sessions
Click on Startup Programs, and click the Add button. Use the browse button to find the directory that you installed rainlendar to, and click OK.

Thanks for the tips! I always thought that Rainlendar was for Windows only.
Doesn't work very well with beryl or compiz thought!
If let it autostart, then rainlendar shows the backgroundcolor instead of the backgroundimage. Also the Notifyicon is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen, instead of in the notification area. :-/
How can I install different languages?
to install different language, download your language, (ex : French.r2lang) extract here (FR_fr) and past it in "locale" folder.
Go to Option language and change it
Now everything is fine. Many thanxx.
Happen 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' message when execute the rainlendar2.
How can Install??
i did as described above, ie. download, extract and double click on rainlender but i get the following error:
Failed to touch the file '/home/kubi/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini' (error 2: No such file or directory)
and also this:
Unable to create configuration file:
/home/xxx/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini
Make sure that the folder has write permissions.
I checked that folder and it does seem to have read and write permissions…
I need help

kubi, i had exactly the same problem.
i created an empty file /home/xxx/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini
after that the app started up normally
hope that helps

Hello all,
I recently switched from XP to Ubuntu and installed rainlendar on my machine. It seems to be working ok, but I still have one question: Is there a way to convert my old "events.ini" file to one with the .ics extension so that my new rainlendar is able to see all the recurring events that I had scheduled in my old xp rainlendar? Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks jeroen, you rock! Working now
I have the same problem as kubi,
but after i created the file
it show:
file '/home/xxx/.config/.rainlendar2/rainlendar2.ini', line 1: '=' expected.
i need help
thx
To convert ini to ics in rainlendar
Eduardo, there is a way to import ini files into the new Rainlendar, it was hard to find, but easy to do: left click and go to Administrator (right under Options), in the new window go to the File menu and then click on Import, you will see there you can import from Rainlendar ini.
Cheers Jeroen I was having the same problem and messed around for a day and a half trying to change the folder permissions… But your solution worked
Cheers
