Thanks a lot. I will process with github

Hi and welcome to devnet, How is that question related to Qt ?

Cool! And welcome to the Qt forum! :-)

Thanks tekojo. Just putting a case forward to travel from Australia so the bigger the event the better :)

@JKSH No problem; glad to contribute, albeit on such a tiny scale.

@ealione said: I agree, he was quite dedicated. I remember receiving notifications, and I'd be happy believing that someone had replied to my post, only to see his usual message. At some point even I was tempted to talk to him/her. Ha ha... I share this because he replied to several of my questions and like you I was like .... yeah I got a reply!!! only to find out (in his/her opinion) how many Bazillions of dollars Qt was making and stealing from everyone. I have to admit I read his/her first post to one of my questions fully and was trying to figure out what had set him/her off. At some point he/she moved from the dollars to like world hunger or something and was kind of inferring that Qt was responsible for that! As far as reasoning with him, I used to dabble in Ham radio many years ago and we all learned that the best thing to do when a jammer came on the freq was to ignore him/her. The more attention you give them, the more it fuels there need to be destructive.

KDE is massive indeed, but it is also a set of very many, very separate sub-projects that are quite independent from one another. So you can find something interesting in there for you. but how did you find this? Just general assembled knowledge, over the years. I am following a number of mailing lists and blog aggregators (KDE planet, Qt planet, and others). You can search through inqlude, qt-apps, SourceForge, GitHub,

@tekojo Thanks for all you do. I will let you know if it starts to happen. So far it has not and I hope it doesn't. As I mentioned this place has been one of the most helpful places I've visited in a very long time. I'd like to see it stay that way! Some really great people here and it actually makes learning Qt fun!

Thanks for so many nice thoughts on this. The thing is, when I first started, my idea of a programmer was rather vague, basically I thought of it as someone who is "signed up" for one specific language and is then able to "speak" that language, in regards to the specific task of course. What I've learned now is, that programming is all about the general skill of porblem-solving. that's basically it right? Of course there is general knowledge like RAM-handling, functions, objects etc. But once you got the idea, you can learn pretty much anything if you like. I do understand that I'm not bound to C++ at all. First I started to study physics actually, which is pretty much problem-solving too. Now I ended up doing the same with just a bit less maths :) @SysTech I am not afraid of other languages at all, I am more frightened when it comes to C++ itself with no Garbage-Handling etc. But I do see the advantage of mostly faster running apps, once proper programmed @Chris-Kawa Yes, I get the idea. I think even for hiring companys it is not that easy to do a proper judgement of the skills of some applicants @musimbate Yeah I am currently experiencing exactly that phenomenon. I thought I would spend the most time with actual programming. Fact is, I am slowly getting more and more knowledge about font-metrics, electronic/physics stuff (like the heating up of LEDs) and other things. Currently I am in a kind of apprenticeship. I guess I am just a bit scared to be "stamped" as C++ Developer, cause other things like webdevelopment interest me too..

ty, I have downgraded some packages (libglapi-mesa f.e.) and reinstalled some others. nopw everything is fine!

@harveyab you probably ran into the limitation for posting too often. There is a limitation that users with less than 2 reputation have to wait a certain time before they can post again (anti-spam measure). I think the edit works with the same counter. Purge will remove the topic, if you are the original poster. Delete will only delete that post (can cause some weird looking threads if the original topic post is deleted)

Hi, ou can but IMO is not so user-friendly. Steps are: Make a standard search Once you got the result you can click open the advanced options panel "Search/Find" to specify details

@Chris-Kawa Thanks. That's about what I figured.

I learned a lot about Qt by running the examples, taking out whatever I needed an plug it into my own code. Then I would read up on the docs what exactly those classes and methods did. In some cases (much later) I would step through the source code and see what they really did in rare corner cases. If I had a specific question, and couldn't research it, I would post in the forums - and would get answers more often than not. I fail to see the problem. There's a lot of material to learn from.
