Installing Sabayon User Desktop Profile on Ubuntu 12.04

I am having trouble installing Sabayon User Desktop Profile on Ubuntu 12.04.  It errors out at - "configure: error: Please install Pessulus".  When I try to install Pessulus, I get  "configure: error:  Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.13.0) were not met:" "No package pygtk-2.0 found".  I haven't been able to resolve this issue.  Please help.

Hi!

Try
$ sudo apt-get build-dep pessulus

And then try
$ ./configure
$ make clean
$ make

When I run "$ sudo apt-get build-dep pessulus", I get "E: Unable to find a source package for pessulus"

Add a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ precise main

Replacing ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ with a nearby mirror:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/pessulus/download

Then try:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get build-dep pessulus


I haven't got an Ubuntu box to test on right now.

I added the line in the sources.list, and did the update, but when I ran "$ sudo apt-get build-dep pessulus", I still get "E: Unable to find a source package for pessulus".

To get pygtk-2.0, use this command:

$ sudo apt-get install python-gtk2-dev python-gtk2

Thanks, I actually did this for Pessulus and Sabayon.  It works.  The product did do as I wanted though.  I have some Ubuntu machines in a computer lab.  They are connected to a AD domain.  On logging in, I want all users to get the same desktop (Cinnamon, Cairo, desktop icon, etc).  When new users login they get Cinnamon but not set up like the desktop I configured.  Any solutions for this.  I just want to set up a desktop/profile that all users will be forced to use.
