| Priem19 | Anyone know a good alternative for google calendar on Android? With cloud. | 21:30 |
| cimbakahn | Anyone around? | 21:31 |
| lightero1l | I'm here. | 21:35 |

| cimbakahn | I have been trying to install this: https://sites.google.com/site/greatlittlebookshelf/ It is a .deb package. | 21:39 |
| lighterowl | okay. the package says it's for trusty, so chances are you're going to miss older versions of some hard dependencies if you're running a newer version. | 21:40 |
| cimbakahn | gdebi reads that i need a dependency. I go get that dependency, and gdebi reads i need even another dependency. | 21:40 |
| lighterowl | yeah, that's usually how it goes. :) | 21:40 |
| cimbakahn | So how many dependencies do i need to get it installed? | 21:41 |
| brainwash | it's not 2014 anymore | 21:41 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: depends on the package, obviously. if you want to force apt to install all dependencies, try doing dpkg -i package.deb && apt install -f | 21:42 |
| lighterowl | but if it's such an old package, this might ... break things. | 21:42 |
| lighterowl | (depending on what the dependencies are) | 21:42 |
| cimbakahn | It is old, but it is very very good. | 21:43 |
| cimbakahn | I had it installed a few years back, and loved it. | 21:43 |
| cimbakahn | It reads that i need this: libpoppler-qt4-4 I try to put it in and gdebi now reads i need this: libpoppler64 | 21:45 |
| brainwash | cimbakahn: probably best to look for an alternative program | 21:50 |
| brainwash | the linked one is dead | 21:50 |
| cimbakahn | You know, I hate to see wonderful programs like this bite the dust! It's just like 'slingscold', I can't get that installed on my computer either. | 21:51 |
| brainwash | the source code is available, so anyone could take it and make it work again | 21:52 |
| cimbakahn | Really!? | 21:53 |
| cimbakahn | I wish i knew how to do it. | 21:53 |
| brainwash | alternatively, you could set up a virtual machine for ubuntu 14.04, and run the program that way | 21:54 |
| cimbakahn | I wonder what happened to Mr. Petrović. | 21:55 |
| cimbakahn | I don't want to do that. I just want to bring the application up to 2020. | 21:57 |
| lighterowl | frankly, it might turn out that it's enough to recompile the source on a new enough system. | 21:58 |
| lighterowl | oh wow, qt4. no thanks. | 22:00 |
| lighterowl | ;) | 22:00 |
| cimbakahn | Well, what happened to all of the dependencies? Are people not keeping those currant anymore? | 22:00 |
| lighterowl | they can't be kept current because newer versions have been released. | 22:01 |
| lighterowl | and if a program is written to use, say, version X.Y.Z, then it might not/will not work with version X+1.Y.Z. | 22:01 |
| cimbakahn | And did they name those versions that same name or something else? | 22:01 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: the problem isn't in the name. the problem is that the application needs to be ported to newer versions of the appropriate libraries. | 22:03 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: if you want, I can take a look at the app and try to port it. | 22:06 |
| cimbakahn | How do i know what those libraries are? | 22:06 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: the application's main dependency is version 4 of the Qt library. this is a library which provides graphical interfaces for C++ applications. the application also uses Poppler (presumably to render PDF content inside it), but the version of Poppler is tied to the version of Qt. | 22:10 |
| lighterowl | while the new Ubuntu repositories do still provide Qt 4, they don't provide Poppler for Qt 4 anymore. | 22:11 |
| cimbakahn | So, it is just going to wind up being another excellent application that bit the dust! | 22:14 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: it isn't that large. might not be that time consuming to port it. I'll see what I can do. | 22:14 |

| cimbakahn | lighterowl, Oh wow! Thank you! | 22:21 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath - I got it to compile, the application runs, but it clearly needs a lot more work... | 22:29 |
| cimbakahn | Awwwww! | 22:30 |
| lighterowl | for example, trying to add any pdfs results in the application saying "you already have this book in your shelf". | 22:31 |
| lighterowl | cimbakahn: I might take this project up, will commit/update stuff here if I decide to do anything further : https://github.com/xavery/greatlittlebookshelf | 22:34 |
| cimbakahn | Ok. | 22:35 |
| cimbakahn | I got to go now. I have this channel saved in Hexchat, and i'll keep an eye on that page you sent me. | 22:48 |
| lighterowl | well, this is going to be fun. 200-column lines and comments in Czech. | 23:04 |
| lighterowl | ;) | 23:04 |
