Why are you not upgrading? This may be at the root of all your problems

Also, you may want to change your sources.list file to include restricted universe and multiverse (you have to get rid of the # in front of the lines starting with deb, this can only be done as root) followed by a sudo apt-get update followed by a sudo apt-get upgrade.

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Mmm why am I not upgrading? I haven't a clue?

If I run adept manager I thought that installed the packages and made them reay to use?

If I ran it as sudo adept-get I also presumed that takes care of everything?

I will change the sources as suggested but how do I MAKE it update/upgrade?

Thanks for your help...

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

To update following a change of repositories or a reboot:

sudo apt-get update

To upgrade:

sudo apt-get upgrade

You may have to do it twice or throw a

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

in between for all the repositories to work together well and give a nice clean upgrade.

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

getting rather down now

I changed the sources list as suggested

I performed sudo apt-get dist-upgrade which ran for some time...

The I purged/removed projectcenter.app and tried sudo apt-get install projectcenter.app which churned away saying it was installing.

Back to square one! both projectcenter and projectcenter.app return command not found.

removed/purged again and installed again via adept manager and it says all install.

same ole same ole.....command not found!

am I the only one experiencing this? If so as a noob pray tell what am doing wrong?

Thanks

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Assuming you find the answer in their forum, and you get it all working, please consider posting a HOWTO on what to do to get it all working.

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

I certainly will, that forum is a bit of an odd one tho!

But I shall continue to plod on....

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

so far the only file I could delete is the .deb one as all the others report the file does not exist!

if I do ls -l they are not there!

If I do locate projectcenter.app the paths get listed!!!

I must say coming from windoze and vs.net I am finding this all rather frustrating fight the system all the way just to get the ide to work even before I can start to learn obj-c!

yoinks surely it should be easier than this?

Fresh install of Kubuntu
Install the required apps via adept manager
informed all installed
but can get the thing to run!

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

The command locate calls on the database you create when you do sudo updatedb. So any changes since the last update will not be reflected when using locate. Otherwise a fine tool, though!

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

so just so I know...

when installing an app and to ensure al the required programs are installed should I use sudo apt-get install of adept manager?

I have been using adept manager under the impression it ensured all other required components would be installed.

I went to the ProjectCenter site and downloaded the intsall file and could not get it to install?

I extracted it which defaulted to my home folder and followed the instructs to make install but all I get is errors?

I have now used adept manager to remove projectcenter, gnustep and gorm so nothing is installed.

can anyone talk me thru the steps I need to do to get this sorted....beg beg grovel grovel?

Re: Trying to start ProjectCenter

adept is a front end to apt. I prefer apt 'cos it is quicker, nothing wrong with adept though...

As for downloading single deb packages, that is a different issue. It is always preferable to get something from the repos as either adept or apt make sure all dependencies are met and automatic updates are also handled.

Anyway, now you can try a

sudo apt-get install projectcenter.app

How knows, it might actually work
