I Just tried it: guy@guy-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk The following extra packages will be installed: envyng-core The following NEW packages will be installed envyng-core envyng-gtk ... Selecting previously deselected package envyng-core. (Reading database ... 152873 files and directories currently installed.) ... Setting up envyng-core (2.0.1) ... Setting up envyng-gtk (1.1.1ubuntu3) ... guy@guy-laptop:~$ envyng ERROR: you need to provide a parameter: "-t" for the textual interface "-g" for the GTK frontend (Not yet available) "-k" for the QT4 frontend "--uninstall-all" to completely remove what EnvyNG has done guy@guy-laptop:~$ envyng -g ERROR: Make sure that envyng-qt is installed Seems like the package is there but the gtk interface is not finished and it would prefer if I install envyng-qt instead!
