I'm a .net programmer, and I'm looking to get more into open source software. I'd be happy to join a project, and hopefully learn something new. Where can I start?
View 1 RepliesI have posted this a couple of places - The Bodhi team and I are looking for some help from someone that knows their way around C and GTK/glib. Firstly - we are interested in having an extension written for the Midori webrowser that would allow it to open apt: protocol links with the command /usr/bin/apturl Second, I am interested in getting this and this added to the file manager PCManFM as features.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a C++ and Java programmer and I'm learning C currently from an ebook. I just switch to Ubuntu from Windows. I used Ubuntu a little but never programmed in Ubuntu before. I am doing an exercise in the book and what it does is gets the keyboard input and then prints it on the screen. It uses a while loop to get the characters until it reaches that EOF but when I run it in the terminal, I can't end the program. Its probably easy to fix but I'm not sure what to do.

I wish to know the best suitable development environment for this purpose? What about eclipse? I will be interacting with git, make and other open source utilities.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI refuse to use .net for any of my apps since I hate using proprietary code that wont work on other platforms without using emulation.
However, I do like how all the hard work is done for you and you can spend more time implementing, then actually coding stuff like socket classes, date/time classes and other wrappers to make the complex C/C++ code easier to use and tie with each other I have a custom library that I've been adding to as I need stuff, but then I got thinking, there must be something out there with everything I need to code applications, that is easy to use and more reliable and efficient then anything I'd ever make.
Does such framework exist?
I'm starting a open source project which involves web based Java, JBoss application server and JBoss Seam framework. I'm a student and I work on the project in my free time for training. Every one who want to take a part in this hobby project in his free time is invited.

Just a heads up. I just found out about a free online book called Producing Open Source Software. It's great.
I just used a trunk checkout and the directions here to make myself an epub version:

EDIT AGAIN: don't download the epub version from here:

If you get it there, then the table of contents doesn't work. Make the epub version yourself, and you have a table of contents.
I would like to ask you something about open-source and linux. Is it possible to make a commercial application for linux and sell it compiling it with linking to open-source libraries without altering them and consequently without allowing download of the source code and without making the application itself free?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering, what would be a good, open-source file format for a beginner in the field, like me, to start editing sound files? This file format would have to be well documented, preferibly open-source, lossless and, most of all, convertible to more popular file formats, such as mp3 or wav maybe. I would like to design my own sound effects through directly editing the binary sequence of a sound file. I imagine this editing would have the purpose of adjusting the voltage variations of the sound device's output in time. It would be perhaps something like a PC-controlled signal generator. I'm thinking I might be able to do this in linux with something like
Code:
$ dd if=mysound.raw of=/dev/audio
But then, which book or resource woule be a good and through explenation of the relationship between the bit sequence in mysound.raw and the signal function generated in the output of, say, my computer's sound card.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can not seem to find a pdf viewer browser plugin other than the actual craprobat plugin from Adobe. The default Ubuntu install comes with a perfectly good open source stand alone pdf viewer, but this means that the browser has to save it to your download directory then run the external viewer, and eventually your download directory is all cluttered up. I would much rather just view the pdf in the browser.Is there no open source browser plugin?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been testing with the ATI Catalyst drivers. I have made a package from the 9.12. I have found that they were not working the way I want, so i tried to switch back via synaptic. I have removed everything which had to do to "fglrx"
now when I restart, here is the message i get
Quote:
UBUNTU is running in low graphic mode The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
For information, it does start in low graphic mode. I have reinstalled the "fglrx" module, but the problem is still the same. If I reinstall the fglrx drivers from synaptic or terminal, I am back with the newer catalyst driver. I cannot switch back to the ubuntu repository one it seem.
I have done the following to try to get the open source back
Quote:
sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
I still have the same problem. Now I do not have any package installed with "fglrx" I have reconfigured xserver-xorg and it will only start in low graphic mode.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read about the open source PIM Chandler and how it's kind of a new twist on software of its kind (although I guess I missed the release by a few years...) and I've been dying to try it out. I've had no success, however. It seems the most recent release is for Jaunty and I'm running Maverick. I guess there are some pretty well entrenched dependency issues. These talk about it: here and here. There doesn't seem to be a solution anywhere.. Does anyone have a potential solution to this? Has anyone even heard of Chandler?
