| Hydrozii | hello everyone | 01:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrozii | I just finished installing Xubuntu! | 01:54 |
| charlie-tca | Great! | 01:55 |
| Hydrozii | at first i wasn't sure if i liked xfce as much as gnome | 01:56 |
| Hydrozii | but now that i've customized it a little bit i think i will stay with it | 01:56 |
| charlie-tca | It takes a little getting used to. I think a lot of that is what you are used to. | 01:57 |
| Hydrozii | but is it okay if i ask so noob questions while i'm trying to get used to it? | 01:57 |
| charlie-tca | sure. If anyone here knows the answer, they will give one. | 01:58 |
| Hydrozii | okay, so when i am adding a launcher to the panel for a particular application... how do i know what the command to launch it is? | 01:58 |
| Hydrozii | for chromium it was chromium-browser... but what would it be for xchat? | 01:59 |
| Hydrozii | in ubuntu i would have probably gone to main menu and looked at the properties of the application | 01:59 |
| Venim | i'm trying to patch the fglrx driver as shown here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/642518 | 02:00 |

| Venim | but apt-get source fglrx doesn't come back with anything | 02:01 |
| Hydrozii | yah i figured it out | 02:07 |
| Hydrozii | but seriously how do i figure out what the command is to launch a particular program | 02:28 |

| ebahadir | hi everybody | 12:48 |
| ebahadir | can i ask a question again about my xubuntu installation | 12:49 |
| sgh | hi ebahadir, for sure you can | 12:59 |
| sgh | I'm not sure if I can answer it but if I can't anyone else will | 13:00 |
| sgh | it could just take longer in that case | 13:00 |
| ebahadir | okay. i will format my c drive with a program | 13:01 |
| ebahadir | i will have two partition with name c and d | 13:01 |
| ebahadir | i'll change my file system to ext4, after that i'll open computer with windows | 13:02 |
| ebahadir | in windows, can i setup xubuntu to ext4 partition | 13:02 |
| ebahadir | i have iso file and a flash drive | 13:02 |
| ebahadir | but i my computer cant boot with flash drive | 13:03 |
| sgh | Windows does not support ext4 :/ | 13:05 |
| sgh | you'll need to install Windows first and create the partions you want (C and D) | 13:05 |
| sgh | then you need to install Xubuntu | 13:05 |
| sgh | you can either burn the .iso onto a CD or put it onto the flash drive, but I recommend the first methode if you can't the flash drive | 13:06 |
| sgh | *can't boot the flash drive | 13:06 |
| ebahadir | okay. Thanks for support. | 13:06 |
| ebahadir | i'll try now | 13:07 |
| sgh | no problem | 13:07 |
| coolguy4 | I had xubuntu in a virtualbox... I had to restart X on the host due to running out of memory (Ctrl-Alt-Bksp) during a time in which xubuntu was installing via aptitude.... now when I try to load the xubuntu virtual machine it takes me to the session controller (I forget which one xubuntu uses)... I select my username and type my password. The screen (ie the vbox window) flashes a couple of times, then I'm returned to the session control s | 13:57 |
| coolguy4 | creen. If I try to use a non valid account it says ;Authentication Failure'.... so there's something going on here... X is dying before it loads I think.... is there a way I can boot to a terminal in xubuntu? I can't use ctrl-alt-F1 because it runs on the host machine (though maybe I should check to see if I can force it to be sent to the vbox...) | 13:57 |
| charlie-tca | in virtualbox, normally, rt-ctrl+F1 should switch to a tty | 13:58 |
| coolguy4 | charlie-tca: well, there you go... now how to figure out how to fix things... | 14:04 |
| charlie-tca | check your permissions in /home/USER ; make sure you as the USER own the files | 14:07 |
| charlie-tca | (at least the dot files | 14:08 |
| sagarchalise | Hi My login screen shows the resolution of 800 x 600 while I have my session set up to 1024x768 can anyone tell me how to configure gdm so that it uses the same resolution as my session ? | 15:57 |
| sagarchalise | can anyone tell me how to setup resolution for gdm ? | 18:15 |
| charlie-tca | sagarchalise: this helps - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 18:19 |
| sagarchalise | charlie-tca, its not total resolution problem but rather my login screen has low resolution than my sessions | 18:21 |
| sagarchalise | charlie-tca, my login screen displays in 800x600 | 18:21 |
| charlie-tca | not so much to be done about that. Login is different | 18:22 |
| vic20gmr | all, im trying to figure out why thunar wont let me drag .wad files [for doom] to /usr/share/games/doom | 20:55 |
| vic20gmr | ive tried googling, and ubuntu forums, but no luck so far | 20:55 |
| vic20gmr | will some one help me? | 20:55 |
| Sysi | alt+f2: gksudo thunar | 20:56 |
| Sysi | check first if you have hidden files in home folder (ctrl h) | 20:56 |
| vic20gmr | i press alt+f2 after it is started? | 20:56 |
| Sysi | if you could put those files there | 20:56 |
| vic20gmr | i gess i have to start from term, thx | 20:58 |
| vic20gmr | that gkthunar solution worked for me btw, thanks again | 21:50 |
| vic20gmr | :) | 21:50 |
| charding | I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now volume buttons on my laptop do not work or show notifications. Know where I can start to look for fix? | 22:15 |
| pfifo | I am trying to write a script that mounts a file, allows a user to perform some actions, then umounts the file. I have a perfectly working copy of it already that calls nautilus to allow the user to do what they want. I tried simply replacing nautilus with thunar, but thunars behavior is to go into the background and then return back to the script (which then unmounts the directory) Is there a way to use thunar in a script so that it waits un | 22:40 |
| pfifo | til the window is closed before returning control to the script? | 22:40 |
| Hydrozii | hello | 23:19 |
| Hydrozii | i recently installed minecraft.jar | 23:20 |
| Hydrozii | and i cant figure out how to mark it as executable in xfce | 23:20 |
| FusionX | nice | 23:20 |
| Hydrozii | it was easy in gnome | 23:20 |
| Hydrozii | any idea how i can mark it as executable? | 23:20 |
| FusionX | Hydrozi use a launcherr | 23:21 |
| FusionX | *launcher | 23:21 |
| Hydrozii | so the command is just minecraft.jar? | 23:21 |
| FusionX | no | 23:21 |
| pfifo | Hydrozii, run 'chmod 0755 minecraft.jar' good luck getting it to run | 23:21 |
| Hydrozii | ill try it right now | 23:21 |
| FusionX | "java -jar "location/of/minecraft.jar" | 23:22 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii: ^ ^ ^ | 23:22 |
| pfifo | how can I keep thunar from return control to the command line until the window is closed | 23:24 |
| Hydrozii | i still cant get it to run | 23:25 |
| pfifo | ok then, that idea is going straight to the recycle bin | 23:25 |
| FusionX | "java -jar "location/of/minecraft.jar" | 23:26 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii: ^ ^ ^ | 23:26 |
| Sysi | you have java installed? | 23:26 |
| Hydrozii | yes | 23:26 |
| Sysi | FusionX: your quotes don't make sense | 23:26 |
| pfifo | what other file managers are available besides thunar and nautilus | 23:26 |
| Sysi | ""s | 23:26 |
| FusionX | oops | 23:27 |
| Sysi | pfifo: how does your scrip look like? (about) | 23:27 |
| FusionX | java -jar "location/of/minecraft.jar" | 23:27 |
| pfifo | Hydrozii, your entire effort is pretty much futile, Ive spent several hours trying to get minecraft running in linux with no success, I reccomment Windows or virtualbox | 23:27 |
| Hydrozii | i had it running perfectly in ubuntu yesterday | 23:28 |
| Sysi | i know several guys playing minecraft on linux | 23:28 |
| FusionX | pfifo: its posssible, i am able to run itt. | 23:28 |
| pfifo | Sysi, mount -o <stuff>; thunar /dir/to/stuff; umount <stuff; | 23:28 |
| FusionX | *it | 23:28 |
| Sysi | pfifo: what if you replace ; with && ? | 23:29 |
| pfifo | Sysi, the umount command gets run prematurely cause thunar exits after being called | 23:29 |
| Hydrozii | in ubuntu there was an option to mark as executable under the properties of minecraft.jar | 23:29 |
| Sysi | pfifo: it shouldn't | 23:29 |
| Hydrozii | in xubuntu there is no option | 23:29 |
| pfifo | Sysi, no, thats just a single line version, there are no ; in my script cause i can use seprate lines | 23:29 |
| Sysi | Hydrozii: you can't right click and "run"? | 23:29 |
| Sysi | Hydrozii: try that commandline method | 23:30 |
| Hydrozii | no i get an error telling me its not marked as executable | 23:30 |
| Hydrozii | ill paste the error | 23:30 |
| Sysi | pfifo: i think you should have &&, it couls make that work | 23:30 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure | 23:30 |
| FusionX | just create a launcher with that command Hydrozii | 23:31 |
| Hydrozii | The file '/home/***/Downloads/Minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. | 23:31 |
| pfifo | ill try, but not right now, my mom is playing farmvill and I cant get on | 23:31 |
| Hydrozii | with the command <java -jer "location/of/minecraft.jar"> | 23:31 |
| FusionX | :/ | 23:31 |
| Sysi | pfifo: no, seems not to work | 23:31 |
| Hydrozii | i tried that command and it doesn't do anything | 23:32 |
| FusionX | *-jar | 23:32 |
| Hydrozii | yah thats what i meant srry | 23:32 |
| Hydrozii | typo | 23:32 |
| Sysi | check path | 23:32 |
| FusionX | it does work if u havve java installed. | 23:33 |
| Sysi | propably /home/user/something | 23:33 |
| Hydrozii | it doesnt give me an error or anything | 23:33 |
| pfifo | Sysi, I was thinking it wouldn't thunar exits immedatly and runs the unmount, it needs to stay in the foreground | 23:33 |
| FusionX | *have | 23:33 |
| Hydrozii | yah im pretty sure i got the path right | 23:33 |
| Sysi | pfifo: sleep or something to the script? | 23:33 |
| Hydrozii | OpenJDK java 6 Runtime | 23:33 |
| Sysi | (i'm not very familiar with bash actually | 23:33 |
| Hydrozii | i have that installed | 23:33 |
| Sysi | if it doesn't say anything it should work | 23:34 |
| Hydrozii | no i click on the launcher and nothing at all happens | 23:34 |
| pfifo | No that wont work, im mounting an SD card here and the length of time that the contents need to be displayed could vary | 23:34 |
| Hydrozii | weird | 23:34 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii: cd to tthe directory where u have minecraft.jar and run "java -jar minecraft.jar" | 23:34 |
| Sysi | Hydrozii: it doesn't print anything on cli either? | 23:35 |
| Hydrozii | alright ill cd | 23:35 |
| Sysi | chmod a+x maybe worth a try | 23:35 |
| FusionX | yeah | 23:36 |
| Hydrozii | chmod a+x? | 23:36 |
| FusionX | yees | 23:36 |
| Hydrozii | as the command? | 23:36 |
| Hydrozii | cd doesnt work either btw | 23:36 |
| pfifo | FusionX, you should make a minecraft .deb if you got it working | 23:37 |
| Sysi | Hydrozii: "doesn't work"? | 23:37 |
| FusionX | im on XP currently | 23:37 |
| FusionX | later maybe | 23:37 |
| Hydrozii | yes i changed the directory to downloads.. where i downloaded it... and then changed the command to java -jar minecraft.jar | 23:38 |
| Hydrozii | also i tried the command java -jar "minecraft.jar" | 23:38 |
| FusionX | restart ur computer and try and run the command again | 23:39 |
| Hydrozii | alright i guess thats always an option | 23:39 |
| Hydrozii | brb | 23:39 |
| Hydrozii | no change | 23:41 |
| FusionX | when did u install java? | 23:42 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii | 23:43 |
| Hydrozii | like an hour ago | 23:44 |
| Sysi | what java do you exactly have? | 23:44 |
| Sysi | from default repositories? | 23:44 |
| FusionX | can u play minecraft online Hydrozii? | 23:44 |
| Hydrozii | no i cant | 23:45 |
| FusionX | IIF U KEEP GETTING A BLANK SCREEN ONLINE< U HAVE THE WRONG JAVA INSTALLED> | 23:45 |
| FusionX | oops | 23:46 |
| pfifo | wrong java> | 23:46 |
| Hydrozii | OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime | 23:46 |
| Hydrozii | thats the one i have now | 23:46 |
| Sysi | you need sun/oracle one | 23:46 |
| Hydrozii | i downloaded from the default repositories i believe | 23:46 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii did u use 'install missing plugins' in firefox? | 23:47 |
| Hydrozii | i use chromium | 23:47 |
| Hydrozii | so no...? | 23:48 |
| Sysi | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Sun%20Java%20moved%20to%20the%20Partner%20repository | 23:48 |
| Sysi | you maybe should remove the other java | 23:48 |
| FusionX | Hydrozii how did u install java? | 23:48 |
| Hydrozii | ubuntu software center | 23:48 |
| Sysi | FusionX: he said from default repo, so it's wrong one | 23:49 |
| Hydrozii | oh | 23:49 |
| FusionX | yeah | 23:49 |
| Hydrozii | okay so how do i download it from the default repo | 23:49 |
| Hydrozii | ? | 23:49 |
| Sysi | check url i gave | 23:49 |
| Hydrozii | alright | 23:49 |
| Sysi | and as said you maybe should remove the other java | 23:49 |
| Hydrozii | so after adding the new repository and removeing old java | 23:52 |
| Hydrozii | i should just search for the sun java in the ubuntu software center? | 23:52 |
| FusionX | remove the other java and then follow those commands https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Sun%20Java%20moved%20to%20the%20Partner%20repository | 23:53 |
| Sysi | after updating "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" should work | 23:53 |
| FusionX | minecraft should work after that | 23:55 |
| FusionX | with the command | 23:55 |
| Hydrozii | ugh... well i thought i added the repository | 23:56 |
| Hydrozii | apt-get install isnt working right | 23:57 |
| Hydrozii | is there some way to specify the repository ? | 23:57 |
| Sysi | you did apt-get update? | 23:57 |
| Hydrozii | yes | 23:57 |
| Sysi | does it list that partner repository? | 23:57 |
| Sysi | i'm not exaxtly sure about package name | 23:58 |
| Hydrozii | what is the partner repository called? | 23:58 |
| Sysi | partner | 23:58 |
| Hydrozii | no i guess not | 23:59 |
| Hydrozii | ill try the apt-add-repository again | 23:59 |
