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