Computers in Thournbourgh
Hey,
Sorry but i cant spell the name of the building correctly.
I have had a few of the computers in the lab where either the screen was black, or it displayed a blue background like it normally does before going to into the login page.
I checked all the cables and everything was on and connected for the computer who displayed the black screen, and for the others, i tried pushing numerous amounts of time and nothing happened.
Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix that?
Also, when i use the text editor Kate for a program, and my program is correct and there are no visible errors, when i compile it, i am informed about an error of a new line or something. The program still runs fine but why does it do that?
Also, when wil the next installfest take place. i know alot of people who missed it and want to have linux installed on their laptops.
Thanks for all your help.

I'm not sure what the first
I'm not sure what the first problem you're talking about is, but I can answer your second and third question.
First, C likes to have a newline at the end of a file. It's part of the standard (ANSI? Some kind of standard) to have a newline at the bottom of the file. All you have to do is press "enter" at the last line of the file. So lets take a look at this:
int main() {
}/*This is where you'd press enter, if this was the end of your file*/
A second installfest is easy to do, but it has to be approved 2 weeks before it happens for SRM reasons...we'll certainly consider having a second one if there's enough interest. I'll make a post for people who are interested in having a second installfest to post in...tell anyone you know who wants a second installfest to post in it so we can see if there's enough people who want it!
