alternative for sticky notes in Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I like sticky notes very much,They always will be on desktop.

But in the current version of Ubuntu(12.04) I can't find it.But no other things like gnotes & Xjournal are not giving me such a feature like hanging to desktop.

So is there any application which can get me old sticky notes in Ubuntu 12.04 ?

Answer 1

1. Good news: you can have Sticky Notes in Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10.

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes
   

2. If you'd also like to try an alternative, I can suggested XPad as well, which should be in the official repositories. Here's more info: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/xpad-simple-sticky-notes-for-your-desktop

Answer 2

Although no longer maintained, xpad deserves a try. Type in terminal:

sudo apt-get install xpad
