Zypper is the functionally equivalent to apt-get or aptitude for OpenSUSE. Man page should give you more information how to use it, you can also visit  http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage_1  for additional information. For example, to update your current system with the latest packages open konsole and do: $: su #: zypper refresh #: zypper update To install plain old rpm do: $: su #: zypper install google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm This should install the downloaded stable version of Google Chrome. Of course you can substitute suitable rpm as necessary. To search for a package like libpng , do: $: zypper search libpng ~ts

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.

I have installed Monodevelop using Software Manager in Linux Mint 17. It seems like all went okay but nothing was working. It turns out that missing dependencies was the culprit. To fix it do the following: $: sudo apt-get install mono-complete $: sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp3 Reference(s): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25791149/monodevelop-will-not-start-in-mint-17

In Debian, the user created during installation is not automatically added to the sudoers list. To fix do: Change to root user by typing su in a terminal. As root, do visudo . Search for line root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL . Copy that line (in nano, do Ctrl+K then Ctrl+U to uncut and on more Ctrl+U to duplicate the line). Change that new line to like timus    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL . This adds user timus to the sudoers. Reference(s): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1837295

I just installed latest Debian Sid/Jessie (testing branch-10/25/2014) and selected LXDE as my desktop environment via network install. The problem was that no start menu or status bar was shown. Seems like a bug somewhere in LXDE but as a workaround do: $: cp -rp /etc/xdg/lxpanel/profile/LXDE/* ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/ Reference(s): https://bugs.launchpad.net/raspbian/+bug/1080966

As root user, do: #: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Reference(s): http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-kernel-headers-package/

So I was trying to install Debian Jessie beta 2 (Debian 8) and was not really paying attention what I was doing. It ended up that I don't grub installed.So who do you fix this? As usual in Linux/Debian there so many ways to do this but below are the steps that I have done: Boot the machine using the boot media, I was using debian-jessie-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso and yes I am using VirtualBox. Select Advanced options | Rescue mode. Follow text based wizard, change the values as you see fit. I did English for Select a language . Then United States for Select your location . American English for Configure the keyboard . Used debian in Configure the network - note that this does not have to match to the machine that you want to recover.  Left blank for the domain. Then for Configure the clock I selected Central . In Enter rescue mode , I have selected /dev/sda1 as I only have one SATA HD and I know that the first partition was my root. You probably to make guesses if you wan

PyCharm 3.4 Community is a very fine IDE and I cannot complain. But for some of the stuff that I do I need to use Tfs as source control. I spent quite a few hours searching the web how to enable Tfs integration in PyCharm but I can't find a good documentation that says you can't not use in PyCharm. But IntelliJ IDEA feature comparison matrix shows that Tfs Integration is only available in Ultimate.  So it must be the case that Tfs Integration is only available in Professional version or it just does not work.
