How to install Squeak 5.0 on Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit

Squeak 5.0 stable as of this writing (3/21/2016) only supports 32-bit on Linux. To get this to work on 64-bit install follow the instructions below.
  • Download Squeak 5.0 from http://squeak.org/
  • Extract to location, e.g., ~/apps/
    • Open a console
    • $: cd ~/Downloads
      $: unzip Squeak-5.0-All-in-One.zip -d ~/apps/
      
  • Get 32-bit libraries
    • Use the Squeak built-in script to get most (not all is installed)
    • $: cd ~/apps/Squeak-5.0-All-in-One
      $: Squeak-5.0-All-in-One.app/Contents/LinuxAndWindows/install-libs32
      
  • This will fail with the error message below (at least on Ubuntu 15.10)
    • Fail with the following error message:
      E: Unable to locate package lib32bz2-1.0
      E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lib32bz2-1.0'
      E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic
      E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic
  • Let us fix this by running command below:
    • $: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
      $: sudo apt-get update
      $: sudo apt install lib32z1
      $: sudo apt install libuuid1:i386
      $: sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
      $: sudo apt install libsm6:i386
      

Enjoy~

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8).

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

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.
