I want to start developing Pidgin plugins under Linux Mint 13.
I've read the official tutorial and at the beginning there's said that I should install the development dependencies for pidgin using the command: apt-get build-dep pidgin
But it ends up with the following error message:
E: Unable to find a source package for pidgin
Do I have to add a special repository? Or how can I make Linux Mint to find this package?
Here is the dump of sources.list:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb apps
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb games
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and add deb-src:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free
And try:
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep pidgin
A quick search at http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php shows that a Pidgin repo exists for both felicia and helena, which is Linux Mint 6 & 8 respecitivly. It is possible the repositories that Mint installed by default did not contain links to those particular repositories.
If you are interested in development for Pidgin I would suggest downloading the files directly from here. This may help you understand the development process not from the perspective of Mint, but from the perspective of distribution independence.

https://apache.org/dist/ignite/deb is down due to the sunset of bintray. I need a deb package of ignite 2.9.0-1 and was hoping there was a mirror somewhere or if there was someway to get the deb off a machine that already has ignite running.
All ignite documentation still points to Bintray
// https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/installation/deb
I tried to use ignite's deb package.sh to build my own deb but I'm a little out of my element there and got the following error: [ERROR] RPM for converting to DEB not found
Hoping someone has a mirror.
Apache moved Ignite's repositories here:
https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/ignite-deb/
https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/ignite-rpm/

When trying to perform a do-release-upgrade to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 I am getting the below error
Checking for a new Ubuntu release

There may be a problem with the network or with the server.
FYI: I already tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-keyring.
Now I'm able to upgrade to ubuntu 20 after replacing below contents in /etc/apt/sources.list

I want to install Gnome web using command line on Ubuntu Deskop 1804. I cannot use software center. Using apt not snap.
Unfortunately Ubuntu software center does not display package names. Only version information.
I tried apt install epiphany, gnome-web-browser without result.
What is the package name of Gnome Web / Epiphany? This seems to be a carefully guarded secret.
The package name is epiphany-browser.

I installed droneapi in the same manner given in the tutorial. However, it's missing all of the important modules that come with MAVProxy, such as console, wx, etc.
Was it supposed to install these modules, or should I move them over from MAVProxy itself instead?
Note: Windows 8 64-bit platform
I apologize that you had to investigate the issue without guidance. Publishing our Windows installer was not well prioritized, and it looks like that choice cost you several hours.
Here is what we will soon to address DroneKit Python installation on Windows:
A dedicated Windows installer generator lives at windows/droneapiWinBuild.bat. This generates a program Output\DroneKitsetup-1.x.x.exe which can be used to install all dependencies.
Yesterday we began testing the installer on Windows on every commit. https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-python/pull/236
We will now publish the binaries generated by that test and document them in the Windows installation process. https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-python/issues/164
Thanks for publishing your solution publicly. Hopefully we can address issues like these before they come up in the future.

So in a rare spark of intuition I discovered the answer. The modules required by Dronekit Python can be installed in the following ways:
Console- type "pip install console" into the WinPython cmd prompt
WX- http://wiki.wxpython.org/How%20to%20install%20wxPython
OpenCV- Download and install OpenCV version 2.4, then copy/paste the file cv2.pyd from OpenCV\build\python\2.7\x64\ to \python-2.7.6.amd64\Lib\site-packages.
At this point it should load all required modules, although it will throw a few exceptions which aren't important.
As always, 3DR documentation is incomplete. One would think that $800 million dollar profits would mean that they could hire more than 5 programmers for their new platform...
I want to install FastStart on my laptop (cloud-in-a-box),
My current operating system is Windows 7
So, I burned the FastSTART on a DVD
It is recommended to install linux before or the DVD wil install both the system Centos and FastSTART?
thank you
The DVD will install both CentOS and Eucalyptus. The installation is quite straightforward, but understand that installing a new Operating System, such as CentOS means that you will lose your Windows 7 installation. Prior to installing, please make backups of everything you may need. Have a look here for the instructions to install Eucalyptus from the faststart iso.
You should also look at the YouTube video that is produced by Eucalyptus.

Basically it will wipe out the existing operating system and data on your machine and put CentOS on it. Don't do this on your main machine. Do it on another machine.
