[15:05] <QuarxSiO2> me too :p
[21:30] <Priem19> Anyone know a good alternative for google calendar on Android? With cloud.
[21:31] <cimbakahn> Anyone around?
[21:35] <lightero1l> I'm here.
[21:39] <cimbakahn> I have been trying to install this:  https://sites.google.com/site/greatlittlebookshelf/  It is a .deb package.
[21:40] <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. :)
[21:41] <cimbakahn> So how many dependencies do i need to get it installed?
[21:41] <brainwash> it's not 2014 anymore
[21:42] <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)
[21:43] <cimbakahn> It is old, but it is very very good.
[21:43] <cimbakahn> I had it installed a few years back, and loved it.
[21:45] <cimbakahn> It reads that i need this:  libpoppler-qt4-4  I try to put it in and gdebi now reads i need this: libpoppler64
[21:50] <brainwash> cimbakahn: probably best to look for an alternative program
[21:50] <brainwash> the linked one is dead
[21:51] <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.
[21:52] <brainwash> the source code is available, so anyone could take it and make it work again
[21:53] <cimbakahn> Really!?
[21:53] <cimbakahn> I wish i knew how to do it.
[21:54] <brainwash> alternatively, you could set up a virtual machine for ubuntu 14.04, and run the program that way
[21:55] <cimbakahn> I wonder what happened to Mr. Petrović.
[21:57] <cimbakahn> I don't want to do that.  I just want to bring the application up to 2020.
[21:58] <lighterowl> frankly, it might turn out that it's enough to recompile the source on a new enough system.
[22:00] <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?
[22:01] <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?
[22:03] <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.
[22:06] <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?
[22:10] <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.
[22:11] <lighterowl> while the new Ubuntu repositories do still provide Qt 4, they don't provide Poppler for Qt 4 anymore.
[22:14] <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.
[22:21] <cimbakahn> lighterowl, Oh wow!  Thank you!
[22:29] <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...
[22:30] <cimbakahn> Awwwww!
[22:31] <lighterowl> for example, trying to add any pdfs results in the application saying "you already have this book in your shelf".
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <cimbakahn> Ok.
[22:48] <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.
[23:04] <lighterowl> well, this is going to be fun. 200-column lines and comments in Czech.
[23:04] <lighterowl> ;)
