Holy Cow, that is a really innovative tool. I will definitely need to try this out.
sudo echo “deb http://winswitch.org/ precise main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winswitch.list
WON’T work. The sudo doesn’t traverse the redirector. The only part of the command getting sudo power is ‘echo’ which achieves nothing. You need to use;
echo “deb http://winswitch.org/ precise main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winswitch.list
And it will work. I suggest you change this guide. Obviously you tried it but you were logged in as root, so sudo is mooted.
WOW, I can see magic if integrated with Synergy to send windows by drag and drop.
