<confluency> Which one is that? The stable or the beta? <confluency> Which package did you install? <magespawn> i think the beta. hold on brb. <confluency> Anyway, ask your question. I haven't used it in a long time but I may remember something. <magespawn> Build ID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.10 <confluency> Uh... how did you install it? <confluency> Ohhhhh, I see where you said trunk. :P <confluency> Built from source? <magespawn> i think so <confluency> What do you mean you think so? ;) <magespawn> i cannot remember <magespawn> i keep getting this error message when i try to put in an image frame <magespawn> Your Render Frame configuration seems to be invalid. Please check the settings in the External Tools section of the Preferences dialog. <confluency> What does dpkg -l | grep scribus say? <magespawn> ii scribus 707.728.7583.dfsg~svn20081228-2ubuntu2 Open Source Desktop Page Layout <magespawn> ii scribus-trunk 1.5.0svn201012022356-12~lucid1 Open Source Desktop Page Layout - developmen <confluency> Do you have some kind of special repository enabled? <magespawn> again not sure. how do i check? <confluency> Also, before you do anything else, try upgrading the package to make sure you have the latest version. But that looks pretty new. <confluency> ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ <confluency> and cat /etc/apt/sources.list <tumbleweed> confluency: I'm guessing scribus daily builds: https://code.launchpad.net/~scribus/+archive/ppa/+packages <tumbleweed> (but without an apt source, or it would be up to date) <magespawn> http://codepad.org/CLu21yTz <confluency> Yar, I just found that. <confluency> It looks like there's a newer package. From January. <magespawn> http://codepad.org/D3PmVtFk <confluency> magespawn: OK, it's fine. You have the scribus PPA enabled. <confluency> So upgrade first and see if it still happens. <confluency> If it still happens, I suggest asking in #scribus. <magespawn> it was working. okay brb <magespawn> i did it from within scribus go this back :No updates are available for your version of Scribus 1.5.0.svn <magespawn> - Scribus 707.728.7583 is the latest stable release. <magespawn> - We have stabilised 1.3.3.x for those wishing to use some new features of the 1.3.x series but need more stability. <magespawn> - Scribus 1.3.8 was released 22 July 2010 <magespawn> Finished <tumbleweed> magespawn: this is ubuntu, update it with your package manager <magespawn> okay. how? <magespawn> the ubuntu software center? <tumbleweed> I don't know what tool you normally use, but "aptitude update" followed by "aptitude install scribus-trunk" (or just "aptitude full-upgrade") should do the trick <magespawn> okay brb <magespawn> thanks for the help <tumbleweed> np, was the issue you were having fixed in the newer build? <magespawn> no . but i do not need the render frames anyway. i thought i was using image frames. it looks like you have to set up the renders frames using something like latex which i do not need at the moment. <magespawn> so a bit of a non issue at the moment really. <Kilos> Maaz, coffee on * Maaz flips the salt-timer <Maaz> Coffee's ready for Kilos! <Kilos> Maaz, ty <Maaz> You're Welcome I'm sure <nuvolari> mÃ´re oom Kilos <nuvolari> ek meen mirrag :P <Kilos> dag nuvolari gaan dit goed daar <nuvolari> aan die gang oom <Kilos> mooi <nuvolari> en met oom? <Kilos> goed dankie <Kilos> this looks like a good start to the year. no one needing help here or on the lists. only magespawn and I <Kilos> hehe <Kilos> and inetpro that needs to wear a face mask at home <Kilos> eeeeew <Kilos> Maaz, whats for supper <Maaz> Steak , egg and chips.

anyone have same prob? <dwidge> ot, i'm still wondering when, if at all, the synaptic/apt/yum (is it yum?) guys are gonna implement diff downloads for package updates. anyone heard anything about this? it would use up so much less cap. but i bet ms would never do it for windows, you know them.. <drubin> dwidge: yum already can do stuff like that. but it makes merging them together so much harder <Morganvd> dwidge: what machine you trying to install on <dwidge> it was a celeron desktop with an ati 9500 card <dwidge> when i took the card out it worked <dwidge> can't remember exact details of what happened, long time ago,
