Installing Bugzilla in Ubuntu 7.04

By
Bugzilla is server software designed to help you manage software development. I though that installing this software in Ubuntu 7.04 is as easy is launching Synaptic Manager and install Bugzilla. But it turns out that there are few quirks here and there. Or shall we say installation is not really straight forward. I got it to start working by getting some information in Ubuntu forums, specifically this post. Since my main goal of installing this software is to try out the Task Based perspective of Eclipse, Mylyn, but it turns out that Task Repositories does not like http://localhost/cgi-bin/bugzilla/editparams.cgi, so I am pretty much stuck. After poking around, I got it working by modifying /etc/apache/httpd.conf, adding the following lines: 
#: nano -w /etc/apache/httpd.conf

#<-- lots of lines before this of course
  Alias /bugs/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla/

  
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
     DirectoryIndex index.cgi
     AllowOverride Limit

All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

By
Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message. References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.
