[00:16] @schedule [03:05] Holy #ubuntu-classroom mailspam [05:13] jrib [05:13] yes [05:13] what is this program you are running? [05:13] its a program called RatioMaster [05:14] Thanks, guys :) [05:14] np tritium [05:14] bob__: okay so you aren't actually programming in mono? [05:14] jrib: no [05:14] okay, well we are going to make a simple program to test mono [05:15] ok [05:15] open a text editor [05:15] done [05:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59656/ [05:15] paste that in your editor [05:16] ok [05:16] done [05:16] save it to your desktop as helloworld.cs [05:17] install the package mono-mcs [05:17] open a terminal [05:17] execute 'cd ~/Desktop' [05:17] execute 'mcs helloworld.cs' [05:18] execute 'mono helloworld.exe' [05:18] the letters hello world come up [05:20] then mono is working [05:21] I just read on the forums that it needs mono 1.2.5 [05:21] how do I get that? [05:23] I do not know of an easy way for you to do that as only 1.2.4 is in Gutsy's repositories. The only way I know of is for you to compile it. Ask in #ubuntu if someone knows of an easier way [05:24] jrib: oh, the whole problem was I wasn't spelling it right in terminal [05:24] hmm? [05:24] but now that i did i still get a massive error [05:25] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59657/ [05:25] jrib ^^ [05:26] probably a version issue as you suggested before [05:26] because in the forum they said to just go to synaptic and it would get me version 1.2.5 [05:26] !info mono [05:27] mono (source: mono): Mono CLI (.NET) runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.4-6ubuntu6.1 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 28 kB [05:27] yep, 1.2.4 [05:28] latest version is 1.9 [05:28] according to mono site [05:29] yes, but ubuntu repositories are frozen each release to ensure a stable environment [05:29] is there a safe way to install a newer version? [05:29] I do not know of an easy way for you to do that as only 1.2.4 is in Gutsy's repositories. The only way I know of is for you to compile it. Ask in #ubuntu if someone knows of an easier way [05:29] ok, thank you so much for your help [05:30] no problem, good luck [05:30] thanks, I don't suppose anyone will answer though [05:31] explain that you have an application that requires a later version of mono than what is in the repositories when you ask your question [05:31] !compile [05:32] if you decide to try to compile it ^ I'll probably be around tomorrow too if you are still stuck [05:32] ubotu: compile [05:32] ubotu: wake up [05:33] there's also ubuntuforums.org and lists.ubuntu.com mailing list [05:33] !support === stefano_ is now known as stefano-gone [21:15] hey anyone know how to take my contacts from my sidekick 3 cellphone? thru usb [21:21] agent-orange: try ##hardware [21:21] cool thanks
