Comment on A step back from the open source by Stefano Forenza

Hey Z,

Clip Ninja comes from my experiments with Linux accessibility. Sadly, the accessibility infrastructure of Linux, at the time, was freezing X very often, so I abandoned the project.

It could be a mistake on my part, I don’t know, since the documentation was pretty lacking, but my guess is that the infrastructure itself was just bugged.

I’d say the chances of me doing a port are very few. I’m sorry about that.

As an application author, you shouldn’t be worried about one particular distro including your work. If the program is useful to people, eventually someone will take the time to package your application for Ubuntu (and Redhat, and Debian, and SUSE, and the various BSDs and …).

Just focus on making a great program. If Ubuntu doesn’t decide to package it, it’s their loss.

Hello,

when trying to install rapache I got the following error:

“You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
write to Launchpad or access private data. See “bzr help launchpad-login”.”

This error occurs when I want to run the command: bzr branch lp:rapache

does anyone know what to do? I’m really a newbie using linux.

Firstly, absolutely great news that rapache is back. I have been looking for such a GUI for a while.

On another note, when you do -
sudo apt-get install python-glade2 python-gnome2-extras python-gksu2 , you’d get the following -
Package python-gnome2-extras is not available, but is referred to by another package…..the following packages replace it:
python-gtkspell python-gksu2 python-gda python-eggtrayicon

you’ll have to do -
sudo apt-get install python-gtkspell python-gksu2 python-gda python-eggtrayicon

Thanks for this great software

Rakesh

Hi, just a quick note for 11.10 users.

You should install the python-gnome2 package instead of the python-gnome2-extras. With that, here are the lines again:

sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-openssl python-lxml
sudo apt-get install python-glade2 python-gnome2 python-gksu2
sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-gtksourceview2 gksu bzr
bzr branch lp:rapache

Cheers!

Comment on Facebook shuts down EventPress development. by Rob Lazzurs

This is a great thing. It shows exactly why software should be open source, to allow development to continue even when someone like an employer decides that a single developer can no longer work on a project. Any company or individual that needs this software can either develop or fund continued development on this software as long as they still require it.

In closing, thanks Facebook for yet again showing why software should be Free

Comment on Compiz is getting rapidly sick of Gnome by T Cole

R. Cole. I recommend then looking more into source distros so you can build up your computer to your needs… eg. Arch linux is a very nice bridge between source/binary.

But needs studying the archwiki when you are shot. Although if you wish for solutions out of the box, try the newest mint version perhaps?
