Like the idea and still learning Linux, could you post the install procedure for Linux.

I'm still a newbie at packaging, but my initial attempts are here: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~stat...

Anyone is welcome to jump in and help get this to the point that we can put a package in a PPA for testing. Once we get to that stage, then we can put the package through MOTU revu and try and get it into the Ubuntu Universe repo.

To add to the last comment, you could ask getdeb.net to make a .deb. They even make ones for Second Life, so I'm sure they won't mind.

Vadi replied on May 30, 2008 16:22 to the idea "What about supporting Linux?" in RescueTime:

Could a .deb for Ubuntu be made please?

Angus, I want to chime in here and say we really appreciate all of the work you've done with creating and maintaining the Linux uploader. It is very encouraging to us to see individuals being passionate enough about this type of thing to go out of their way to get it done.

Elliot, I know you spoke with Tony yesterday - but feel free to ping me with any technical questions. I will try to keep you informed of any major feature or changes that may impact your efforts, and look forward to working with you.

Thanks guys!

I know I could probably install Ubuntu on here, I just feel no need to. I'll probably get the new OS itch in six months and install GNU or something, who knows.
I've changed the project maintainer to you. My latest bzr branch changes over to YAML instead of XML for the uploaded data, which needs to be done soonish. Best of luck to you.

Hi Angus,
I run Ubuntu on my Macbook, it works great and I can either boot directly into it or start it inside VMWare Fusion. Anyway, thanks for all the work you put into this! I'd be happy to take over maintaining the project for you, my launchpad profile is https://launchpad.net/~statik/

Angus replied on May 12, 2008 04:07 to the idea "What about supporting Linux?" in RescueTime:

Well, I've got some bad news; my new Macbook arrived last week, and after several days with it I've had no urge to install Ubuntu on it. So, I'm going to be abandoning this project. If there is anyone who is interested in taking over, respond here and I'll see about moving the stuff on Launchpad over to you. I'm going to be on vacation and offline for the next few days, but please respond if you are interested.
Thanks a bunch to all the people who contributed code or time, and also to everyone who's found the project useful in some way.

Thanks. I'll do.

I've tried with SO Kubuntu 7.10 and I find several problems.
1. It doesn't load $http_proxy
2. Every time y run rescuetime_linux_uploader the file preferences is overwrite with the default values.
3. What about a kde control panel?. When I run rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_controller:
File "/usr/bin/rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_controller", line 8, in <module>
load_entry_point('RescueTimeUploader==80', 'console_scripts', 'rescuetime_linux_uploader_gnome_panel_controller')()
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/RescueTimeUploader/entrypoints.py", line 9, in gnome_panel_controller
File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/RescueTimeUploader/gnomepanel.py", line 11, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gnomeapplet

Thanks.</module></module>

My experimental branch is pushed to launchpad with working support for whitelists on linux with firefox (not yet hooked up to epiphany and konqueror), and has been proposed for merging into the main branch.
Try it out if you like: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~stat...

I've just about gotten web site whitelists working on the linux uploader, will upload a new branch to launchpad soon for possible merging.

Hey everyone. I've got a basic uploader written in Python that I've been using for the past few weeks. I haven't ever gotten around to testing it on different systems (I'm using Ubuntu 7.10), but it's available at https://launchpad.net/rescuetime-linu... for anyone who's interested in trying it out.

I've been meaning to post it here, but I wanted to wait until I at least tried it on KDE/etc. I've never managed to get around to it though, so I guess I'll go ahead and post it here. Anyways, please try it out and submit any problems you have.

My brother is a doctor in mathematics and opened the secret and wonderful word of Linux for me. This has been a well kept geek secret, I guess you guys where secretly laughing at the rest of us who have been struggling with Windows badware. I am madly in love with my Linux pc and now I struggle to join the geek community. I've upgraded to gutsy and learned to type sudo! Now I will throw out all windows - and convert the rest of our computers to Linux. I am just ahead of the crowds - because - Rescue Guys team - they will follow shortly! Just look at the new mini-pc with Linux preinstalled. I am so happy that the Linux community are working on this application, and I will love to use it.

Thank you!

Angus replied on March 11, 2008 18:01 to the idea "What about supporting Linux?" in RescueTime:

Alright, I'll look into it. I've gotten the "none" application before, but not for several hours at a time. Thanks.

Also, if you could report bugs to the launchpad project instead of here, it would help me manage the bug's lifecycle better and avoid bothering the RescueTime guys.
