sup @jrg - haven't check the one price box yet... probably on caturday if i'm up to it

Lucio

@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.

Hello can anyone help me compile this github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu?

Thomas W.

@Andrew github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu/blob/master/INSTALL is where you start

Andrew

I don't get it can you go over it step by step?

Thomas W.

if you can't understand it you shouldn't be compiling things

Jeremy

That file does provide step by step instructions

Thomas W.

github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu/blob/master/INSTALL#L51

it has step by step instructions right there

Jeremy

00:45

@ThomasW. Why'd you remove that :P

Thomas W.

because i basically insulted people in it

/me decided to self-moderate

Jeremy

@ThomasW. Not me

Thomas W.

well, yeah, same difference

Jeremy

@ThomasW. Oh... you didn't read my username? cough

Just kidding ;)

Thomas W.

@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

Andrew

00:48

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

?

Jeremy

@ThomasW. Which post was that?

Thomas W.

did you actually download the source?

Andrew

Yes

Jeremy

Are you in the directory containing the package?

Andrew

as a zip and I exazeted

Jeremy

@ThomasW. How many emails?

Thomas W.

enough

Jeremy

@Andrew Did you run the configure app?

Andrew

.configure yes

Jeremy

00:50

@Andrew Read the error

> No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

Andrew

oops

so how do I get it?

Thomas W.

isn't GTK2 gone...?

Andrew

yes

Thomas W.

i meant from the repos.

not "gone from your system"

Andrew

getting it

Jeremy

00:52

gtk.org/download/index.php

Andrew

it is 'sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0"

Jeremy

Did it work?

Andrew

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?

Thomas W.

have you actually done any checking to make sure you installed the build deps ahead of time?

Jeremy

sudo apt-get install libwnck-1.0

Thomas W.

01:01

they're probably identified in the INSTALL document

Andrew

@Jeremy Not that esay

Can anyone help me?

Jeremy

01:18

Q: Problems with GTK

I 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...

application-development

Is it just me, or did he just ask me to do his homework for him?

Andrew

Hey old buddy seth, Can you help me?

Seth

perhaps

sup?

hbdgaf

compiling from source of old libraries pain.

Andrew

01:48

I need help with compling this github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu/blob/master

github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu/blob/master/INSTALL

And when I do ./config

i get this as an error

hbdgaf

@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.

Andrew

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

Seth

> 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?

hbdgaf

@Seth tell him to check google: gihansblog.com/2011/08/17/…

Seth

Ah, global menu for MATE?

Andrew

01:51

@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"

Seth

Well I'm not much of a compiling expert, but what does config.log say?

(paste it to paste.ubuntu.com)

Andrew

let me look

okay

@Seth here paste.ubuntu.com/6682067

Seth

@Andrew So you are running MATE then?

Andrew

@Seth Yes

@Seth do you know yet?

Seth

well it looks as if you need libmatepanelapplet-2.0 and libmatenotify..

No idea where to get those yet.

Andrew

01:58

okay

X-dev right?

Seth

dunno

What version of Ubuntu are you running?

Braiam

@Andrewyou sure you want something that uses GTK2?

Andrew

@Braiam I want a global menu for mate

Seth

@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)

Andrew

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

I 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?

pacificfils

04:13

@ThomasW. take a look

Thomas W.

at?

pacificfils

it exists

Seth

and he's using backtrack..

pacificfils

?

Thomas W.

@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

Seth

04:17

nah no point.

Avinash Raj

04:40

@minerz029 i think that command also works for ubuntu 12.04

minerz029

@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.

Avinash Raj

@minerz029 i gathered it from askubuntu.com/a/65987/202806

minerz029

I'm sure it was Ctrl+Super+D in 12.10...

Avinash Raj

04:57

which one is dupe askubuntu.com/questions/128657/… or askubuntu.com/questions/308937/…

because i have to put a close vote on askubuntu.com/questions/399274/…

minerz029

@AvinashRaj IMO, this one is the better duplicate: askubuntu.com/questions/308937/…

it has pictures

Avinash Raj

in this askubuntu.com/questions/128657/… does the error occurs while installing lubuntu on virtualbox or not

fossfreedom

@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/…

minerz029

@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

Utkarsh

Utkarsh

@ThomasW. i see this error now! help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas W.

how'd you install vbox

Utkarsh

06:08

@ThomasW. by downlading from website

Thomas W.

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

Utkarsh

@ThomasW. will it work then?

Thomas W.

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

Utkarsh

@ThomasW. okay

Thomas W.

unless you're using something other than Ubuntu

Utkarsh

06:09

@ThomasW. using lubuntu

Thomas W.

that's still technically in the Ubuntu family

if you had said Mint i'd kick you to U&L

Utkarsh

@ThomasW. okay so i will post a question

@ThomasW. no I HATE MINT

Thomas W.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME

blade19899

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!

Utkarsh

programmers.stackexchange.com/';

security.stackexchange.com`

fossfreedom

11:17

@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

so, 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?

lubuntu

Braiam

13:12

@fossfreedom you really want "Tips:" in the UI? tooltips/information icons usually works better UX wise

fossfreedom

13:23

@Braiam the context is the following picture...

Braiam

mm...

fossfreedom

open to suggestions

vasa1

@Braiam why did you ask that? AFAIK, Firefox, Google Chrome (and Chromium), LibreOffice, and Geany still use GTK2.

Alvar

Hello!

Braiam

@vasa1 they should totally drop that!!

Alvar

13:32

@Rinzwind I didn't see that message ;)

fossfreedom

@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.

Braiam

yeah, I'm reading the bug report in chromium

through Fx is more advanced (they can almost build against gtk3)

blade19899

13:44

@fossfreedom, thanks

Whoever said: HEY! lets write our applications using .net cause its stable and fast. Should be nuked from orbit! Orbit!!!

Q: INSTALL WINDOWS XP MODIFIED ISO FROM GRUB AS I DO NOT HAVE CD DRIVE

There is a modified Windows xp ISO with me and i am not having CD drive. I want to directly install it from GRUB. Also, I have tried booting it from USB but Windows XP cannot be installed through USB. Please tell me how to do it.

14:28

Utkarsh

fossfreedom

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.

Alvar

14:33

@Utkarsh -(1/0)

Utkarsh

@Oli i have seen but i see a few results but they are just....

@Alvar thanks

Alvar

@Utkarsh writing in caps wont solve your problem, it will just make people ignore you.

Utkarsh

@Alvar oh sorry ;P

Alvar

writing in caps is the same as shouting...

Utkarsh

okay

Jeremy

14:40

It's actually more annoying than shouting.

Alvar

it's the same really...

Utkarsh

@Jeremy can i copy your Profile Pic?

Jeremy

Why?

It's my signature

Okay :P I made it in Adobe Illustrator

@Alvar wanna go for 7000

?

Jeremy

Your question is 30 minutes old... give it some time.

Alvar

@Utkarsh nope going for 10k :P

@Utkarsh give it a day or two before complaining it's dead..

Utkarsh

@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 :(

Alvar

14:52

is that in your question?

Utkarsh

yes

Alvar

then calm down and go do something else, an answer will come..

Utkarsh

yea, okay bye,
