phillwhe did, at least spend sometime on the front line, before some USA magazine broke the embargo on the news.... But, as you say, we digress. My 1st experience of Mac OS was 27 years ago - it was in the print department at the company I worked at - it looked pretty kewl :-)00:04

zkriesse!java00:25
ubot2To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.00:25

phillwtriangles: For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the sun-java6 packages have been dropped from the Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. It is recommended that you use openjdk-6 instead.00:31

trianglesim not mad/upset00:32
trianglesyou're telling me how to install java00:32
triangleslike i couldnt figure that out00:32
phillwtriangles: so, what did you do to install it?00:32
trianglesi need to know if there is a way i can set static java arguments00:32
phillwat least then I know we are on the same system00:32
trianglesi need to know if there is a way i can set static java arguments00:32
=== compiledkernel is now known as Guest65623

trianglesi have java installed00:33
trianglesi need00:33
trianglesto know if there is a way i can set defualt java arguments00:33
phillwtriangles: you are asking of the way java works00:34
phillwhttp://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html00:34
phillwexplains a bit about it.00:34
trianglesoh my god00:34
trianglesI need00:34
trianglesto know if there is a way i can make it whenever java is started00:35
trianglesno matter how00:35
trianglesthat it's ran with a max heap size of 256m00:35
trianglesi dont need a man page00:35
trianglesits not in there00:35
phillwyes, you can start the java engine with a set heap size00:35
trianglesi know how to do that00:35
trianglesi need to know if there is a way i can set static java arguments00:36
trianglesi need to know if there is a way i can set static java arguments00:36
trianglesdo you know what i mean by that?00:36
trianglesthat i dont have to say -Xmx256m every single time. because i'm not running a -jar00:36
trianglesor anything like that where i myself invoke the jvm00:36
* stlsaint hates java! :P00:37
trianglesthere's no reason to hate java.00:37
stlsaintlike hell there isnt!! (well its more personal than anythin) nothing against java itself i guess!00:37
phillwtriangles: you are asking on a ubuntu area about java, Java is cross platform - have a look at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/JVMPerf/00:37
trianglesstlsaint: and what reasons do you have ?00:38
stlsainttriangles: personal/hence personal reasons :D00:38
trianglesfts im going back to centos00:39
phillwor, have a look at http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23%23javascript&net=freenode00:39
phillwevidently it is ##javascript00:40
stlsaintBYE!00:40
trianglesjavascript?00:41
triangleswtf00:41
phillwtriangles: do not call ubuntu areas for cross platform programmes, although, granted, you will get more help here than on other operating systems00:41
triangleswhy would you give me a link about javascript00:41
phillwtriangles: yeah, coz they will be able to point you back to the irc for java00:42
phillwi'll go ask if you want00:42
trianglesno00:42
stlsainttriangles: this is a support channel for ubuntu and or any other flavors of linux. If you need java help it is probably better for you to go to a java room instead of bashing this channel!00:42
trianglesthere's absolutely nothing about java in javascript00:43
trianglesnothing00:43
trianglesdo you not know how javascript got it's name?00:43
zkriessetriangles: I'm going to ask you to either leave or behave00:44
triangleswhat?00:44
triangleswhat have i done?00:44
trianglesnothing.00:44
stlsaintlol behave?00:44
trianglesi  have done nothing wrong zkriesse00:45
zkriesseWell you keep bashing phillw like he doesn't know what he's talking about, you keep swearing, (wtf is indeed swearing) and you are somewhat rude00:45
zkriesseSo at least tone it down just a bit00:45
zkriesseWe're trying to help, thats all00:45
trianglesyes i had to repeat myself literally 30 times00:45
trianglesbefore he got it00:46
tenachtriangles, patience is a good thing.00:46
phillwtriangles: oddly enough, IBM are helping me out here, head over to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_jforums.jspa?cmp=emuk_otdwjafo-20100527&cm=k&csr=google&cr=java_forum&ct=OTDWK010&ck=java_forum&ccy=UK&mkwid=s3I56TUtN_6723239703_4328nk297100:46
zkriessetriangles: No you didn't have to repeat yourself...it wasn't necessary00:46
triangleshe didnt understand what i was saying00:46
trianglesit's okay phillw i am going to install java by myself not through apt00:47
trianglesi just was having a hard time installing resin00:47
trianglesthat's why i tried ubuntu server00:47
trianglesbecause they have .debs00:47
trianglescaucho that is00:47
zkriessetriangles: Regardless if he understood you or not, it doesn't give you the right to be rude to him. Some of the people in here are in their 40's and 50's....just be nice!00:48

spursncowboysHi everyone, I am trying to configure prey (preyproject.com) and the prey log-in window that comes up, when I run it on my ubuntu os, cuts off the bottom of the window. I cannot tell if there is a submit or cancel button.01:49
spursncowboysWhen I hit tab once and twice they both will close the window.01:49
trianglesprobably should contact them01:49
trianglesi doubt anyone here, including myself has experience with that software01:50
spursncowboysso I cannot resize the window thru ubuntu?01:50
stlsaintwhat software?01:50
spursncowboysstlsaint: prey01:51
trianglesuhmm01:51
stlsaintaye, neverused it01:51
trianglesspursncowboys: is the window showing up in gnome-panel at the bottom of your screen?01:52
triangleswhere your applications are minimized etc01:52
spursncowboystriangles: yeah. Though I'm using the Ubuntu nbr01:53
trianglesah. i don't know 100% about the nbr but you could try right clicking it and there should be an option 'resize'01:53
tenachI have had little luck with resizing games like that.01:55
spursncowboystriangles: yeah that doesn't work. Just minimize, move and always on top are able to work.01:55
packratspeaking of nbr, how do i mount an sd card in 10.04?01:55
trianglesi don't know what else to tell you friend.01:55
spursncowboystriangles: Ok I'll keep trying the tab thing. Thanks anyway.01:55
tenachspursncowboys, is there a file that you could edit the games starting resolution in?01:55
trianglespackrat: the sd card should automatically mount itself01:56
trianglestenach: it is not a game01:56
packratD:01:56
trianglespackrat: are you sure that it's been properlly formatted?01:56
packratwell, i just took some pictures on a camera with the card01:56
spursncowboystenach: its to locate your netbook if it gets stolen01:57
spursncowboysIt worked easy as heck for me with windows.01:57
triangleseverything always is easier in windows01:57
trianglesfor simple gui apps*01:57
phillwtenach: as you stated, if the drive were formatted, it would be of no help. I'm not too sure what level of protection you want?01:57
trianglesspursncowboys: i'd try and contact thm.01:57
tenachphillw, wha?01:58
trianglesare you trying to talk to me phillw01:58
spursncowboystriangles: I will. Yeah I am really missing and looking for a linux replacement to my Search Everything for windows.01:58
triangles'search everything'01:59
triangleswhat is that?01:59
trianglesoh okay01:59
tenachThe Everything Search Engine01:59
tenachin window01:59
tenach*Windows01:59
trianglesoh okay gotcha.02:00
trianglesheh i always used find & grep for search02:00
triangleshttp://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=linux+desktop+search02:01
trianglesi'd start there02:01
duanedesignspursncowboys: there is Tracker02:01
trianglestenach: are you familiar with the terminal?02:01
tenachtriangles, yes.02:02
trianglescould you please pastebin the output of 'fdisk -l'02:02
tenachHaving a near-instant index of files is, as far as I know, not that easy/possible to do if you're on an ext2/3/4 filesystem.02:02
triangleswell02:02
phillwif you want to make google work for you, instead of the usual 25,455,999 results, then go learn http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=13686102:02
trianglesif the program itself indexes the files, it can be instant02:03
phillwit will help you get you get your google-fu black-belt :-)02:03
tenachThat would not work for me, as there's a lot of files that move around and that index would be out of date.  I don't really have a lot of need for something like that so I haven't really looked much more into it.02:04
tenachAlso, I was noting that because of how the search everything engine works.02:04
spursncowboysduanedesign: oh ok, I'll try it. thnx02:05
duanedesignspursncowboys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9536393&postcount=202:05
trianglestenach: that's how it works on all filesystems my friend02:05
trianglesthere's no instant index02:05
tenachtriangles, that is not true.02:05
tenachI didn't say instant, i said near-instant02:06
trianglesare you talking about just your home dir02:06
trianglesor the whole /02:06
tenach"Search everything", to me, means everything from /02:06
trianglesthen no02:06
trianglesyou're not going to get an instant index02:06
trianglesit'd probably be faster on ext* then ntfs or whatever02:07
tenachntfs is faster with that then ext* is02:07
trianglesbut not instant02:07
tenachI'm not talking instant, triangles02:07
tenachnear-instant is not the same as intsant.02:07
tenach*instant.02:07
trianglesnear instant for me is less then 5 seconds02:07
trianglesi will brb02:08
packratso... yeah.  SD card not automatically mounting in UNR.  thoughts?02:13
stlsaintpackrat: mount it manually02:14
packratfor that matter, how do i make sure the install actually has the drivers for the card reader02:14
stlsaintpackrat: in your terminal enter: mount02:15
packratderp02:15
phillwpackrat: always use the liveCD mode to check how your system gets on with your hardware02:15
phillwthat will let you know of any items that need checking up on, such as certain WiFi devices etc.02:16
packratwell, i forgot about the hotswap card reader02:16
packratanyways, running mount in terminal returns results that are fairly greek to me02:17
stlsaintdo you see the reader?02:18
packratwhat am i looking for02:18
phillwpackrat: take a read of dmesg before you attempt to use it, then make a note of new messages that appear after your using it - the new messages are the ones that matter.02:19
stlsaintphillw: you can take this one! :D02:19
phillwstlsaint: it just lets us know the device is actually seen by the system02:20
packratyeah im not memorizing all that text.  terminal wont even scroll up far enough to encompass all of it02:20
stlsaintpackrat: no need to memorize anything, just look for something like /dev/sdb02:20
stlsaintor /dev/sdc02:20
packratin dmesg?02:21
stlsaintpackrat: no, using the mount command02:21
packratoh02:21
packratgot /dev/sda5 but thats there whether the card is present or not02:22
phillwpackrat: what do you get if you type in mount in the the terminal?02:23

* triangles hated nbr02:43
trianglesi don't know what else to tell you02:43
phillwnetbookrat: do you have a standard 10.04 boot disk kicking around?02:43
netbookratno.02:43
trianglesphillw: don't have him do that. it's not going to help02:43
netbookrati could dl and make a bootable usb02:44
netbookratbut what are the chances its just missing a driver02:44
trianglesask on the fourms netbookrat02:44
trianglesthat's what i'm thinking02:44
collinpnetbookrat: You're having issues with a card reader?02:44
phillwtriangles: oh, and you know? why does 3G devices not work on some variants, but on 'main'?....02:44
netbookrati am collinp!02:44
triangleshellow?02:44
collinptriangles.02:44
trianglesoh well that's a gay nick02:45
collinpThat's rather offensive.02:45
triangleswhat happened to hellow?02:45
phillwthe requiremement here is to find if it is problem with ubuntu, or a problem with the variant.02:45
collinpphillw: It's possible - however, unlikely.02:46
netbookratwell, i got a inkling of a possible solution from some forum posts that it might be identified if i reboot with the card in02:46
phillwthat is the only way a bug can be filed or a solution02:46
netbookratso gonna try that02:46
packratman, and all i wanted to do was just make a craigslist post02:47
triangles<phillw> triangles: oh, and you know? why does 3G devices not work on some variants, but on 'main'?....02:47
triangleswhat?02:48
triangleswhat is the 'main'?02:48
collinpA standard installation of Ubuntu, I would guess.02:48
packrathah, it did work02:48
trianglesah02:48
trianglesso collinp02:49
triangleshow still play ogame?02:49
packratrebooting is a pretty lame workaround though02:49
phillwtriangles: main is bog standard ubuntu, as soon as you use another flavour and there is a bug, especially when they sya it was working previously, you should check.02:49
collinpDo I know you?02:49
trianglesnawhh02:49
packratso i take it f-spot doesnt even resize images02:53
Raidsongi shall miss triangles03:01
Raidsongthey are my favorite shape of all03:01
phillwpackrat: no, it just a photo displayer, my views on ceasing GIMP are mine, i just install it03:01
phillwyou can use imagemagick to just resize images, from the command line03:02

Darkness_DesHey, I've got a quick question about my plan of partitioning.06:53
Darkness_DesI plan to shrink Win7 to half of the drive, then make a 20 GB / partition, a 60 GB /usr partition, a 75 GB /home partition, and then a 5 GB swap area.06:55
Darkness_DesIs that a decent size? Or is the / partition too small?06:55
