Install MonoDevelop Addins on Ubuntu

I installed MonoDevelop from Add/Remove... which did not install all addins I wanted.
Basically I was searching how to install NUnit addin for MonoDevelop. There's a FAQ entry on how to enable it, but it is not very useful, though I did the last bit, creating symbolic link.

Anyway, here's how to install it on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install monodevelop-nunit

If you just type

sudo apt-get install monodevelop-

and press Tab key twice it will list you all available addins. One very useful is monodevelop-versioncontrol,

MySQL custom data folder in Linux

This info relates to Arch Linux and configuration of MySQL to use custom data folder. I followed instructions to install MySQL on ArchWiki. It worked like a charm, everything was working perfectly, until I tried to change data folder. Now, probably important thing to say is that I setup rc.conf to automatically start mysqld daemon. Google did not help this time :( since whatever I tried did not work. Even MySQL official documentation was of no help. Setting datadir in my.cnf did not help. But finally I found solution, and it was super easy:

Edit file: /etc/conf.d/mysqld
And enter your data folder there (/data/mysql in my case):
MYSQLD_ROOT="/data/mysql"

After that it worked. I don't know if this is Arch Linux specific, but I hope this will help someone not to loose as much time I did figuring out.

JumpStart - 0.5a5.1 released

New version of JumpStart is ready on AMO. Please report encountered issues here, and post your questions at extension's group page.

Here's a short summary of changes:

New locales (contribution by Babelzilla.org community): hu-HU, pl-PL, he-IL, de-DE, fr, pt-BR
which with existing locales: en-US, sr-RS, ko-KR brings the number of supported locales to 9.

Fixed ordering of locales - it now properly displays en-US if a locale is missing (Firefox 3.5 specific)
Fixed refreshing tabs in background tabs (Firefox 3.5 specific, in Firefox 3.0 still refreshes only thumb from the active tab)
Properties of thumbnails are made permanent now - not being flushed with history. This can be turned off through about:config
Preferences and Bookmarks pages have improved appearance - contributions by Leszek(teo)Życzkowski


Guys from Babelzilla are awesome, provided 7 translations in a week (despite my screw-up in which all translations got lost and Chinese yet to be recovered). Thanks to erglo, Goofy, SiiiE, Cashman, teo, Ghelman, tawcw, markh, for contribution and help!

JumpStart - 0.5a5 released

Finally official new version. It took some time to do lots of internal changes to the extension, so from the outside it may not look that much different, but insides changed completely. This will allow us to roll out fixes and new versions much faster - at least monthly as opposed to bi-yearly.

Firstly thanks to Chris and Forrest. Forrest submitted Korean translation and more importantly made me fix localization support for the extension. Recently Chris joined to help with development and contributed with fixing almost all UI to XUL which improved layout and performance, and he will be contributing more in the future hopefully making JumpStart much prettier.
And thanks to everyone else joining in discussions and reporting bugs.

Some activities and plans:
I have submitted JumpStart for translation on Babelzilla, please go there and login or register if you wish to help and translate it to your language.
Please submit all bugs found on extension's project page. I'll be submitting all bugs I find there too.
There are also plans to move JumpStart related content to a separate site, I'll let you know as soon as I do that.

At the end some release notes for version 0.5a5:

Notable known issues:

• Clicking tags on bookmarks page performs very slowly on Firefox 3.5. It seems that it is a Firefox issue with particular search I'm using, the issue is being investigated at the moment
  

Notable Changes:

• turned off auto refresh by default
• refreshing thumbs on page view rather then automatically
• fixed issue on some Windows XP systems caused by latest system patches
• using Firefox's places database to store thumbnails so better conforming to privacy and history setup - when you clear your history your thumbs are gone too
• improved layout by almost exclusively using XUL
• fixed history issues that were causing TabView to be shown in the list of closed pages on Firefox 3.5
• support for MidBrowser
• basic support for Fennec

JumpStart - prerelease

I have prepared a pre-release of the JumpStart. To install it you have to download it and then drop it from the saved location onto Firefox. New release will be on AMO probably some time during this weekend. There are still some tests to be done but the version is pretty solid.

Some notable fixes/features include:
- turned off auto refresh by default
- refreshing thumbs on page view rather then automatically
- fixed code that was causing issues on some Windows XP systems after latest security patches
- using Firefox's places database to store thumbnails so better conforming to privacy and history setup - when you clear your history your thumbs are gone too
- handling of cases when there is no history data available - default page layout is shown instead of empty page
- updating the list of thumbs while you browse when there is no data in history available yet - e.g. new profile, clean install (still experimental)
- improved layout by almost exclusively using XUL
- fixed bookmarks page on Firefox 3.5
- fixed history issues that were causing TabView to be shown in the list of closed pages on Firefox 3.5
- support for MidBrowser
- basic support for Fennec
