Ubuntu 8.10 crashed - How resume updates via Ubuntu 10.04?
resander:
My Ubuntu 8.10 got corrupted and I had to recover by installing the brand new Ubuntu 10.04.
The updates via Ubuntu 8.10 worked extremely well, but I have not managed to get a fresh codeblocks via the Ubuntu 10.04 update manager.
I added this to the etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://apt.jenslody.de/ any main
deb-src http://apt.jenslody.de/ any main
deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ lenny-wx main
and executed this from the command line:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jens-lody-debian-keyring
wget -q http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
and then invoked the Update Manager from the GUI menu. I also tried sudo apt-get update from the command line. They both responded that the system is uptodate.
How can I get the latest codeblocks binary to arrive via the Ubuntu 10.04 update manager?
Jenna:
Even if it's not the cause for your problems: my packages do not work with the wxwidgets-packages shipped with ubuntu 9.10 and most likely aslo not wit the ones shipped with 10.04, because of incompatible changes in ubuntu's wxwidgets libs.
You can try pasgui's repo: http://lgp203.free.fr/spip/spip.php?article1 .

Thank you Jens,
As far as I can see and understand Ubuntu 10.04 is not supported in pasgui's repository.
I also tried to get codeblocks from the Synaptic in 10.04 (it refers to codeblocks 8.02 which I think is quite old). I can get the splash screen to appear, but then it just exits.
I have been using codeblocks for nearly two years and I need it now.
What can I do to get it running on 10.04? If it comes to a crunch I could even recompile it from source (which I have never done before), but is that going to work?
If not, what other options do I have to get codeblocks back?

I don't know if a build from sources will work, but you can use this page to help you : http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux
I am not skilled in compilation, but this page makes the operation really easy, and I succeed in compiling C::B for Fedora.
Another option should be a virtual machine, but it's a lot of work to use an IDE...

I think you are not right. See here: http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu/ .

Compiling C::B is quite simple, but VM's are not really hard to setup (depends on the OS, of course).
I have actually 9 linux VM's, one not fully working bsd VM and three windows VM's on my external hdd.
All can be run easily with a simple starting-script on my laptop (debian unstable 64 bit) with kvm, and they all are fast enough to compile C::B and work with it (we have much slower pc's to run the webinterfaces of our controllers at work) .
But I suggest to have a look at pasgui's repo first and if that does not fit your needs try to self-compile C::B.
A VM is only needed if nothing else works (or for testing purposes as I have it here).
