experiencing a slow gdb in ubuntu 10.4 lucid lynx?

well... i was , too. and if you heavily require debugging tools this can really get on your nerves. after updating to lynx i immediatly noticed the slower debugger. but google popped up no results on how to solve this, or even if other people are noticing this.... so after playing around with it i finally solved the problem brute force: i downloaded latest gdb (7.1) from http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/download/ and compiled it myself. if you are a former windows user or unexperienced with that, dont let self-compiling scare you away: compiling it for yourself is simpler than you may think: download the .tar (with the browser of your choice), unzip it (easiest is with nautilus), go to commandline and type: ./configure after its done, do: make after THAT is done you will have a gdb executable in the "gdb" folder!

status report

nothing much to say actually. i am only making an entry because i am sittig alone in my hotel room up here near oslo. really nice architecture, but apart from that i havent seen much. unfortunately also not many legendary norwegian women :) only other things i could notice apart from that was that after 20 pm you dont get any alcohol in the super market. ah yes, and its very expensive. good thing is most of my food and drinks are provided by the parnters of my company. i am only glad i could arrive here by plane now that they stopped their stupid no-fly-in-europe policy. would have taken me ages and many changes of means of transport to get here via train. well thats it with this useless post best bytes

How to set up ASP.NET with Mono on your fresh Karmic Koala Ubuntu installation

Yup, I admit it. I am a die hard .NET fan.  And I am very exited about the mono project.

You will still need to understand ASP.NET, you will still need to take care about specific porting problems of your application, but this can be understood as a general Getting Started: I reproduced these steps on a clean Karmic Koala installation, so it might be different with other versions of Ubuntu. _________________________________________________ Step By Step Guide to setting up ASP.NET on your Ubuntu Karmic Koala with Apache Komplettes aufsetzen von Mono und ASP.NET auf Ubuntu (Karmic) Useful sites that you might need sooner or later: http://mono-project.com/AutoHosting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mo...

Back in the world

Yesterday evening i came back from my holidays. The transit from Fiji home took about 48 hours, with too many hours waiting on the airports Auckland, L.A. and Heathrow.... so i was quite exhausted when we finally arrived. Now I am fighting with my jetlag and tomorrow... well tomorrow work starts again. Hope everything at work worked while i was gone :) my holiday were 3 weeks in New Zealand where me and my friends traveled the northern island and then 1 week in Fiji for relaxing. New Zealand is an awesome country i can highly recommend to pay a visit to. its the first country i've visited so far where i would want to live. i cant say the same about fiji.... but it was ok for a one week holiday there. maybe i'll write some more about my holidays at some later point. we will see.

The next best thing to Agent Racksack for Linux

like i already once posted, i would love to have agent ransack running natively under linux on my ubuntu. i then settled for regexxer, but down the line i didnt like it. i even eventually started to code one myself. but then i found two quite decent search tools. my favorite one is kfind. seems that program is the closest you can get to agent ransack. at least it fullfills nearly every of my wishes in a search tool, so thats how i search now. a more native-gnome approach would be the program gnome-find. though i think kfind is faster to use.

Qt Creator Tipps

I really dig Qt Creator (though my first euphoric stance has already relativated itself a little). but because the IDE still is somewhat of an underdog, help in the net is somewhat rare. therefore i decided to give a short summary about how one can setup some important settings for custom makefile projects . (they also might come in handy for all other people using the IDE). all my descriptions are based on my qt creator IDE version 1.2.1 used under ubuntu 9.04. i am pretty sure some posted points will save people out there some time. *) getting your source files into your project your project will contain a .files file. open it up and put inside all additional files you want to have. example : your project is located in /home/f/sources/testApp/ and you want to have a file included in /home/f/sources/CommonSourcecode/foo.cpp Then add ./CommonSourcecode/foo.cpp to .files and create a symbolic link in /home/f/sources/testApp/ pointing to /home/f/sources/CommonSourcecode/ done! *) setti...
