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.

Thanks for the info. Have you reported the missing RPM dependency as an opensuse bug?

It is still a thing. However I got this error when trying to install it on Ubuntu.
Unable to locate package libgnomeui

@Ishan, what version of Ubuntu are you using? The latest versions should have this fixed (15.04 and 15.10 should be OK).

I am using Ubuntu Gnome 15.04. libgnomeui is not available via apt-get instead libgnomeui-0 is available and installing that doesn't solves the issue. I had to install gnome-sharp2 to finally solve the problem.

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

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