Octavian Damiean

@Amithkk What a bummer, you should definitely get good at After Effects. :)

ManjotSingh

@Amithkk yes,I am a software developer also

Amith kk

you are Cool!

ManjotSingh

I think I should start with Ubuntu again :)

Octavian Damiean

Oh that is something you definitely should!

Amith kk

11:01

@ManjotSingh you got best actor award?

ManjotSingh

yes in 2009

Amith kk

We got a famous person in our room!

Octavian Damiean

I gotta install the Oneiric A1. Never got around to do it lately.

Amith kk

@OctavianDamiean wait for A2

ManjotSingh

@Amithkk that is not an issue

Octavian Damiean

11:04

Nah, I'll install A2 when it is out next week. ;)

ManjotSingh

@OctavianDamiean but that too would require some knowledge.I am almost beginner

Amith kk

@ManjotSingh Nah not any .Its easy peasy!

Octavian Damiean

Don't worry, you are on the right site for that.

ManjotSingh

What will happen with Android,iPhone and Blackberry app development?

Amith kk

it will be there

ManjotSingh

11:06

Should I leave all mobile app development?

Octavian Damiean

You mean if you can develop for them on Ubuntu?

ManjotSingh

I am working Mac OSX

Amith kk

@ManjotSingh you are good in android right?

ManjotSingh

@Amithkk I am not good in any of them.I am just having basic knowledge of all but not expert not in single technology :(

Octavian Damiean

You can certainly develop for Android on Ubuntu and probably even BlackBerry (not sure about that) but you can't develop for iOS.

Amith kk

11:07

@ManjotSingh start with vm!

ManjotSingh

@Amithkk I'd installed ubuntu in mac for blackberry but that too don't have emulator,so I shifted to Windows

Octavian Damiean

Ah yes I can remember.

ManjotSingh

For BlackBerry App development on Ubuntu need real device having 6 OS

I started with Python but left in between because of less time :(

Octavian Damiean

The question is, is it wise to do all of those platforms and not concentrate on one?

ManjotSingh

For survival, sometime you have to do things which you don't like to do.

Amith kk

amithswebblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/…

Octavian Damiean

It still would be more efficient in my opinion.

Amith kk

^updated

ManjotSingh

I am iPhone Software Developer but I started with Android because my Boss wont be hiring any new Android Software developer and then I started Blackberry Development

Octavian Damiean

So you actually never wanted to develop for Android or BlackBerry.

ManjotSingh

Yes,I didn't want to develop Android and Blackberry but there is no harm in learning new technologies.I think if one can do development of Android or Blackberry then I can also do :)

Octavian Damiean

11:15

Oh definitely, on the contrary it is very good to explore other fields however I think one should keep focused on one area at a time.

ManjotSingh

I was having an interest in developing Mac OSX apps.

That was my thinking also but if you don't have any other option then you would have to choose other technologies :)

Octavian Damiean

Oh definitely I do understand your position. If you have to pay checks and there is no other way than doing something that you actually don't really want to then you still do it.

Amith kk

interesting

ManjotSingh

Like you are also studying Python because you like it.

Octavian Damiean

Yup.

ManjotSingh

11:18

If one day your Boss come and request you,Can you please develop some Python apps then how would you react?

Amith kk

same here

@ManjotSingh you have been an actor and a SD!

same here

@ManjotSingh id learn python completely

ManjotSingh

@Amithkk yes Actor by interest/chance/luck and SD because of pressure

@Amithkk great.I too want to learn Python but don't know when and how?

Amith kk

Q: Unable to Install VirtualBox Due to Missing Kernel Module

I am trying to install VirtualBox on my Ubuntu. I first tried to sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose in a terminal, but after the configuration step, it fails with an error: No suitable module for running kernel found When proceeding with starting virtualbox, I get this error: WARNING: ...

11.04 virtualbox kernel-modules pae

A bit of searching and voilà.

James Gifford

Wish I'd found that last week. :P

(dad needed that answer for his VM machine)

M. Night Shyamalan

13:43

i found that 'sudo mv /opt/google/earth/free/libQt* /tmp' makes google earth use GTK+ but it always crashes on startup

and moving the libraries back make it run normally without the gtk+ theme

Rinzwind

13:55

@MNightShyamalan askubuntu.com/questions/7246/google-earth-and-skype-theme ?

does that still work?

M. Night Shyamalan

@Rinzwind no

the file location has chagne

it is now sudo mv /opt/google/earth/free/libQt* /tmp

Rinzwind

add that to your q otherwise ppl will close it as a dupe >:=D

I know

looks like they also removed the -style option

so... the answer is probably "no you can not"...

M. Night Shyamalan

@Rinzwind there must be a way

Rinzwind

why? I think there not being a way is more logical >:-D

M. Night Shyamalan

Rinzwind

13:59

that is the old version. Old version don't count >:-D

M. Night Shyamalan

it is the current version
