sup @jrg - haven't check the one price box yet... probably on caturday if i'm up to it
 
@fossfreedom are you around?
I translated all the strings, but two left as "suggestions"
If you need to have a 100% translation, check them as OK.
 
12:41 AM
Hello can anyone help me compile this github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu?
 
I don't get it can you go over it step by step?
 
if you can't understand it you shouldn't be compiling things
 
That file does provide step by step instructions
 
it has step by step instructions right there
 
12:45 AM
@ThomasW. Why'd you remove that :P
 
because i basically insulted people in it
/me decided to self-moderate
 
@ThomasW. Not me
 
well, yeah, same difference
 
@ThomasW. Oh... you didn't read my username? cough
Just kidding ;)
 
@Jeremy i'm still trying to stem the flood of emails I have from the fact my name and LP profile ended up in Jorge's post and on arstechnica
 
12:48 AM
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
?
 
@ThomasW. Which post was that?

Yes
 
Are you in the directory containing the package?

@ThomasW. How many emails?
 
enough
 
@Andrew Did you run the configure app?
 
.configure yes
 
12:50 AM
@Andrew Read the error
> No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
 
oops
so how do I get it?
 
isn't GTK2 gone...?
 
yes
 
i meant from the repos.
not "gone from your system"
 
getting it
 
it is 'sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0"
 
Did it work?
 
configure: error: Package requirements (libwnck-1.0 >= 1.2.0) were not met:

No package 'libwnck-1.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH envir
How do I get libwnck-1.0?
 
have you actually done any checking to make sure you installed the build deps ahead of time?
 
sudo apt-get install libwnck-1.0
 
1:01 AM
they're probably identified in the INSTALL document
 
@Jeremy Not that esay
Can anyone help me?
 
libmate-menu
Is anyone one?
 
1:36 AM

Q: Problems with GTK

HamzaI started working on a project where I need to make a simple interface with C language using GTK, then I need to connect that interface with Linux system, I started working with "Glade" witch is an "interface designer" the problem is, when the code is generated, it does compiles, but no execution...

Is it just me, or did he just ask me to do his homework for him?
 
Hey old buddy seth, Can you help me?
 
perhaps
sup?
 
compiling from source of old libraries pain.
 
1:48 AM
And when I do ./config
i get this as an error
 
@Seth glade isn't really supposed to "do" generation of code except for test runs(just a ui file)... oof. i don't use glade much anyway. ui files are nice, but dynamic construction from code is easier.
 
configure: error: in `/home/mathcubes/Documents/mate-globalmenu-master':
configure: error: test for libmatepanelapplet-2.0 and libmatenotify failed. (--without-mate-panel to disable).
See `config.log' for more details
 
> I'm still confused, and I wish you can send me an example of an interface with its source code in C so I can have something working.
that's the bit that gets me.
@Andrew First question: What is this?
 
@Seth tell him to check google: gihansblog.com/2011/08/17/…
 
Ah, global menu for MATE?
 
1:51 AM
@Seth I need help compiling this https://github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu/tree/master because I get error might be a bit old and when I do this /.configure I get this as an error massage "configure: error: in `/home/mathcubes/Documents/mate-globalmenu-master':
configure: error: test for libmatepanelapplet-2.0 and libmatenotify failed. (--without-mate-panel to disable).
See `config.log' for more details"
 
Well I'm not much of a compiling expert, but what does config.log say?
(paste it to paste.ubuntu.com)
 
let me look
okay
 
@Andrew So you are running MATE then?
 
@Seth Yes
@Seth do you know yet?
 
well it looks as if you need libmatepanelapplet-2.0 and libmatenotify..
No idea where to get those yet.
 
1:58 AM
okay
X-dev right?
 
dunno
What version of Ubuntu are you running?
 
@Andrewyou sure you want something that uses GTK2?
 
@Braiam I want a global menu for mate
 
@Andrew What version of Ubuntu are you running? Are you sure those packages aren't in the repos? (or rather, the PPA you used to install MATE)
 
13.04 raring ringtail

BabinActually i just a newbie.i want serious help for software installing.Because i was using BACKTRACK 5 r3.so here how can i get some guide?If anybody guide me,it will be appreciated.

Q: How to install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?

SilambarasanI have downloaded tar.gz files. But I don't know how to install it. How do I install this kind of file?

and can we have a huge popup that says "SEARCH THE SITE FIRST YOU [censored] MORONS!!!" when newbies post?
 
4:13 AM
@ThomasW. take a look
 
at?
 
it exists
 
and he's using backtrack..
 
@Seth it didn't explicitly say he was using backtrack
"Because i was using BACKTRACK 5 r3" != "I'm using backtrack"
but you can flag it as offtopic if you want
 
4:17 AM
nah no point.
 
4:40 AM
@minerz029 i think that command also works for ubuntu 12.04
 
@AvinashRaj regarding this? I was just going from what you had originally written. I think I remember it was ctrl super d when I used 12.10 so you should be right.
 
@minerz029 i gathered it from askubuntu.com/a/65987/202806
 
I'm sure it was Ctrl+Super+D in 12.10...
 
@AvinashRaj IMO, this one is the better duplicate: askubuntu.com/questions/308937/…
it has pictures
 
in this askubuntu.com/questions/128657/… does the error occurs while installing lubuntu on virtualbox or not
 
@Lucio cheers - I've updated the translation stuff to add a clarification of what those translations should be - you should see those comments under the suggested items. Cheers - there is one more translation string added to the list: translations.launchpad.net/coverartbrowser/trunk/+pots/…
 
@AvinashRaj It happens if you try to use a 64 bit iso on a 32 bit system (or one with Intel VT-x/AMD-V disabled)
regardless of distro
 
5:32 AM

did you not think to open up that details area and see what it actually says?
 
wait
let me send a screenshot
@ThomasW. i see this error now! help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
how'd you install vbox
 
6:08 AM
@ThomasW. by downlading from website
 
also why wouldn't you just POST THIS as a question instead
@Utkarsh yeah you failed... you should just do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose next time
 
@ThomasW. will it work then?
 
it'll install the kernel moduleslike it should at the very least
either that or your download was corrupt
but I'm not a VBox expert
and you REALLY should just post a question about this
 
@ThomasW. okay
 
unless you're using something other than Ubuntu
 
6:09 AM
@ThomasW. using lubuntu
 
that's still technically in the Ubuntu family
if you had said Mint i'd kick you to U&L
 
@ThomasW. okay so i will post a question
@ThomasW. no I HATE MINT
 
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME

i am gonna instal windows xp in virtual box

Yo! Anyone knows where I can get a simple! explanation on what all the software licensing, do's and donts are. What you can and cannot do, explained in depth. Thinking about posting some code on github. But, wanna be prepared before i do that!

11:17 AM
@blade19899 suggest use this github based site to both add a license, and also look at what each license actually permits (addalicense.com/add) - choose the license in the drop-down. Click on the link at the side of the drop down. Look at the bar on the right hand-side as to the summary of what the license does or does not permit.

Q: can i have a virtual CD DRIVE in lubuntu 13.10

Utkarshso, i dont have a CD DRIVE in my computer and i use bootable Pendrives to boot up my PC. now, my pen drive is lost. so, can i have a bootable cd drive which can install Opearting systems like that in oracle virtual box?

 
1:12 PM
@fossfreedom you really want "Tips:" in the UI? tooltips/information icons usually works better UX wise
 
1:23 PM
@Braiam the context is the following picture...
 
mm...
 
open to suggestions
 
@Braiam why did you ask that? AFAIK, Firefox, Google Chrome (and Chromium), LibreOffice, and Geany still use GTK2.
 
Hello!
 
@vasa1 they should totally drop that!!
 
1:32 PM
@Rinzwind I didn't see that message ;)
 
@Braiam bit tongue in cheek - but at least using gtk2 the interface API never changes - the GTK3 guys and girls are forever breaking their own API's making keeping up-to-date difficult.
 
yeah, I'm reading the bug report in chromium
through Fx is more advanced (they can almost build against gtk3)
 
1:44 PM
@fossfreedom, thanks
Whoever said: HEY! lets write our applications using .net cause its stable and fast. Should be nuked from orbit! Orbit!!!
 
HAHA
 
NO, HAHA! Laggy as Windows itself
"Academics Against Mass Surveillance"
http://academicsagainstsurveillance.net/
They maybe academics, but they can't write a website :/
 
it's so hard to come up with a good name for a new website
like, everything is already taken...

I want to nuke all caps lock titles. it's starting to heart my ears....
 
@jokerdino why?
 
Where?
 
@jokerdino when?
how?
 
2:28 PM
WHAT?
 
-1? why?
 
-2 now.
 
-2? why?
 
yeah - try that style on SO and you'll get downvoted to obvilion

Oli
@Utkarsh Because the formatting was horrible, you only used caps in the title and you haven't shown that you've done anything but write the question. If you Google for "grub boot iso" you'll see a few million suggestions on what to do.
 
2:33 PM
@Utkarsh -(1/0)
 
@Oli i have seen but i see a few results but they are just....
@Alvar thanks
 
@Utkarsh writing in caps wont solve your problem, it will just make people ignore you.
 
@Alvar oh sorry ;P
 
writing in caps is the same as shouting...
 
okay
 
2:40 PM
It's actually more annoying than shouting.
 
it's the same really...
 
@Jeremy can i copy your Profile Pic?
 
@Utkarsh My mountains?
Why?
What are you going to use it for?

Okay :P I made it in Adobe Illustrator
 
dude you are strange...

@Alvar SEEMS THAT WAY, RIGHT?
 
2:44 PM
wasn't even talking about you now...
 
--------------------------------------------THE END------------------------------------------------
 
@Alvar I know. I was being humorous
 
@Jeremy it wasn't funny.
 
Jeez, okay.
 
@Utkarsh what?
 
2:47 PM

:-(
@Alvar wanna go for 7000
?
 
Your question is 30 minutes old... give it some time.
 
@Utkarsh nope going for 10k :P
@Utkarsh give it a day or two before complaining it's dead..
 
@Alvar okay
@Alvar i already tried to do it but when i select that option in the grub menu, i see that screen flashes and i am back with grub again :(
 
2:52 PM
is that in your question?
 
yes
 
then calm down and go do something else, an answer will come..

Are you trying to do this in a virtual box?
