Trouble with Whatpulse in Ubuntu.

[Giraffe]

I tried to run Whatpulse and got this error.

But when I went to try to download it, it looks like I already have it.


I don't know how to use Linux that well. Can you please explain what I am doing wrong?

Er... I figured out the solution to my problem on my own. However, due to the way this page became formatted due to the large pictures I cannot edit it.

I thought if I deleted the pictures breaking the links I could then edit/delete this post as to not waste peoples' time, but I didn't log in before I uploaded them so I cannot do that.

Also my click on my track pad wont count.

Guess I am a failure all around.

Everything you need is in de kb:

- http://whatpulse.org/kb/content/7/15/en/...ation.html
- http://whatpulse.org/kb/content/7/34/en/...linux.html

The installation guides notes openssl-devel, not just openssl, that's why you're getting that error.

Alright, I got it all working on my Ubuntu machine. Thank you.

However, I just put linux on my Chromebook so I could use Whatpulse on it. On Ubuntu I would just use the software centre to install those libraries. Since this version doesn't seem to have such a feature I need to learn how to do it with the Terminal, something I should probably know anyway.

I tried typing in 'sudo apt-get install libQtCore' but it says the file isn't found. I assume that there is some obvious grammar issue here, but I don't know it.

Chromebook isn't currently supported (I don't have one), the client will not run on it (cpu architecture).

Eh, it took a bit of work but I got Whatpulse working on my Chromebook.

It counts my keys and downloads, but not my trackpad yet. I can probably get the trackpad working too, but I'm burnt out.

Took me like 8 hours to get it working. Bleh, I need to learn computers better. -_-

Edit: Oddly, the trackpad is counted in the Chromebook environment but not in the Linux one. No idea why yet. I might just call it good enough and not mess with it any further. ^_^

Could you kindly explain how you got it working? I have been trying for quite a while.

[Giraffe]

I don't remember it enough to say it step-by-step since I was drunk when I did it.

First I enabled developer mode, then used a program called Crouton to install Linux, then I did something in the terminal, then everything was good.

[smitmartijn]

Which Chromebook do you have? Don't suppose it's a standard ARM CPU type, right? Or is there an i386 emulator on there, that could explain the client being able to run?

[London_Ash]

Yeh that's true. He might have the pixel or something.
