murtaza666_: Err.. Sorry new to irc. Exploring it. Anyways, anyone here with a prior experience in the same course?
murtaza666_: When they say prior experience in ruby is quite necessary, do they mean it's mandatory? I'm well versed with python.
sampriti: @murtaza, If you are familiar with the programming concepts, you can do the codeacademy ruby track and you should be well versed enough for the course.
murtaza666_: Okay, right on. To codeacademy, then. Suggest a few more resources which you think can be helpful. I use a lot of thenewboston, learnpythonthehardway, etc..
sampriti: Syncs the Stack Exchange chat room with the IRC Chat: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/14033/cs169-1x-irc

c0ndemn3d: what i really want to ask is if there is a way to install the courseware directly into my ubuntu OS
sampriti: yes, there is a script that you can use to setup your ubuntu os: raw.githubusercontent.com/saasbook/courseware/master/vm-setup/…

CrossCodes: hey pablo... it is a bit challenging to fine tune all gems, but the debugger gem in ruby supports front end development... try to search the specific error that you are facing because most likely, it will be due to an incompatibility issue
CrossCodes: have in mind that the set up is meant to be challenging at the beginning (i confess that i still have to keep fighting sometimes, but it is the beauty of it)
CrossCodes: well... i feel that we are missing the point because i am trying to help you get your set up straight because it is one of my TA tasks, but you probably know more than me because I am learning and beginning.... (just a comment though... it provides breakpoint handling, bindings for stack frames, etc...)
sampriti: What I am trying to say is that the debugger gem helps in getting an insight into your application in runtime. Maybe it be in the front end or back end.
sampriti: @marco Ok, so follow the tutorial in the link and then you can acces the app using AWS_INSTANCE_URL:3000 where AWS_INSTANCE_URL is the url you use to connect to your instance in Putty.
sachin234s: End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/sachin/Downloads/saasbook-0.10.3.1.zip or /home/sachin/Downloads/saasbook-0.10.3.1.zip.zip, and cannot find /home/sachin/Downloads/sa
marco619: I follow the tutorial, and type : http://<public_ip>:3000 and I can access it, I see the Elcome Aboard Ruby's
marco619: But, Why I cannot access typing : localhost:3000 and not http://<public_ip>:3000 ????????????}
eyadof: sachin234s: you can check your download as follow edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/questions/149/…
HuntK: sachin234s: Do you need the image? Are you tring to run a vm of the coursware in your copy of Ubuntu?
marco619: One last question, When I see the : "Welcome aboard" in the AMI_IP_PUBLIC:3000 , what do I need to do ??? is it whole ??
sachin234s: zip error: Invalid command arguments (invalid date entered for -t option - use mmddyyyy or yyyy-mm-dd)
latman12_: the "Welcome aboard" screen indicates ruby is running properly and the bundle install was successful
latman12_: if you go to localhost:3000/movies you should see the rottenpotatoes screen in the screencapture
JakeTheAndroid: sachin234s: a check sum is a value that a file produces based on the sum of digit placements in a file. Its useful because files that do not add up to the same check sum are clearly not the same file.
jeremybanks: @marco619: You may find this discussion helpful, regarding how to connect to the server running on EC2: edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/q/131/174
latman12_: @artem you may want to read the discussion at edx-cs169-1x.stackexchange.com/questions/60/…
JakeTheAndroid: Artem_Dubov: you can use whatever version of Ubuntu, or really any OS for this project, but you will likely run into errors that others may not be able to help you with.
RobbieJackson: Jack, when I did the course last year I went through rubymonk.com course called Ruby primer - and survived ok on just that
jeremybanks: chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/51082/cs-cs169-1x-live-irc-chat Like @sampriti, I was working on a Stack Exchange <-> IRC chat bridge. I’ve set it up to relay messages from this chat room into a Stack Exchange chat room, but have disabled relaying in the other direction, until we’re sure it’s not going to blow up and spam the chat room.
jeremybanks: @sampriti I just tweaked it for a few minutes to add this read-only mode; I haven’t been working on it much anymore.
hybris: sachin234s: a chechsum is the sum of multiple parts of a file, so the more parts that are added (or taken away) will change the sum value.
HuntK: ncartmell: If your sure it completed the download, use something like Stuffit Expander to uncompress
Tableau__: Nephelus_: there is a screencast showing you how to dowload,install your vm, log into it and access to the demo website
hybris: the login information is in the 'Installing the software yourself into a new VirtualBox VM' area
wspicer: Nephelus_: the video is older than the VM, so you'll need this password just to login which isn't in the video
wspicer: yes, it can create troubleshooting problems. Ubuntu based OSes default to saying you need to apt-get install something if it isn't loaded or doesn't work, but you have RVM on the VM, and you have to make sure you are in the global gemset otherwise it won't find bundler. This is a key missing item. If any problems let us know, I have setup both a VM and a Lubuntu iso VM so the issues are current to me ;)

binarypulsar: Submitted this early this morning but got no response. Please respond if you can. I can use a HP-Compaq-dc7600-Small-Form-Factor 64 bit machine 2x Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz. But it doesn't have a VT-x or AMD-V capable CPU. Will VM still install and run?
hybris: binarypulsar: you will likely have to disable VT-x in the virtual box settings. this means you cannot do 64-bit stuff in most cases, but the VM is 32-bit
Artem_Dubov: binarypulsar: for virtual box it no matter, you just have some penalties to speed of your system.
hybris: binarypulsar: so I expect you will be fine. the other option is to run the rottenpotatoes app locally. Since Mint is just an Ubuntu fork with XFCE (essentially) you should be able to get the app working just fine.
hybris: This method is not ideal as you may encounter some issues over the course of the class, but since you are on Mint and that is essentially Ubuntu, you could simply get the code and then install RVM and Rails
hybris: binarypulsar: it will, but it would possibly effect your grade per assignment. I do not know the grading process, but rails 4.0 is a little different than the rails version used by the course.
hybris: the app looks simple enough that you could use rails 4 with it, but the code you write will likely be a bit different than what other people write.
hybris: you can install multiple rails versions, it gets messy, but you have to specify your rails version in your gem file.
