[01:52] <Hydrozii> hello everyone
[01:54] <Hydrozii> I just finished installing Xubuntu!
[01:55] <charlie-tca> Great!
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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?
[01:58] <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?
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <Venim> i'm trying to patch the fglrx driver as shown here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/642518
[02:01] <Venim> but apt-get source fglrx doesn't come back with anything
[02:07] <Hydrozii> yah i figured it out
[02:28] <Hydrozii> but seriously how do i figure out what the command is to launch a particular program
[02:47] <tikiking1> how do I setup Ubuntu one?
[02:48] <tikiking1> hello
[02:48] <tikiking1> ?
[02:48] <tikiking1>  anyone there
[02:48] <tikiking1> ?
[02:49] <tikiking1> 'm not a spambot, so stop blocking me
[02:49] <tikiking1> 5
[02:49] <tikiking1> how do i setup Ubuntu One?
[02:51] <tikiking1> how do i setup ubuntu one?
[02:52] <tikiking1> anyone there?
[02:55] <tikiking1> bye
[03:22] <charlie-tca> Hydrozii: I look in /usr/share/applications for the menu name, then right-click on it, left-click on Open With... and choose mousepad
[03:24] <charlie-tca> Hydrozii: Thanks for being patient. I was taking care of a baby :-)
[12:48] <ebahadir> hi everybody
[12:49] <ebahadir> can i ask a question again about my xubuntu installation
[12:59] <sgh> hi ebahadir, for sure you can
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <ebahadir> okay. i will format my c drive with a program
[13:01] <ebahadir> i will have two partition with name c and d
[13:02] <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
[13:03] <ebahadir> but i my computer cant boot with flash drive
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <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.
[13:07] <ebahadir> i'll try now
[13:07] <sgh> no problem
[13:57] <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...)
[13:58] <charlie-tca> in virtualbox, normally, rt-ctrl+F1 should switch to a tty
[14:04] <coolguy4> charlie-tca: well, there you go... now how to figure out how to fix things...
[14:07] <charlie-tca> check your permissions in /home/USER ; make sure you as the USER own the files
[14:08] <charlie-tca> (at least the dot files
[15:57] <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 ?
[18:15] <sagarchalise> can anyone tell me how to setup resolution for gdm ?
[18:19] <charlie-tca> sagarchalise: this helps - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <charlie-tca> not so much to be done about that. Login is different
[20:55] <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?
[20:56] <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
[20:58] <vic20gmr> i gess i have to start from term, thx
[21:50] <vic20gmr> that gkthunar solution worked for me btw, thanks again
[21:50] <vic20gmr> :)
[22:15] <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?
[22:40] <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?
[23:19] <Hydrozii> hello
[23:20] <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?
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <FusionX> "java -jar "location/of/minecraft.jar"
[23:22] <FusionX> Hydrozii: ^ ^ ^
[23:24] <pfifo> how can I keep thunar from return control to the command line until the window is closed
[23:25] <Hydrozii> i still cant get it to run
[23:25] <pfifo> ok then, that idea is going straight to the recycle bin
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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"?
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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"
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <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"
[23:39] <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
[23:41] <Hydrozii> no change
[23:42] <FusionX> when did u install java?
[23:43] <FusionX> Hydrozii
[23:44] <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?
[23:45] <Hydrozii> no i cant
[23:45] <FusionX> IIF U KEEP GETTING A BLANK SCREEN ONLINE< U HAVE THE WRONG JAVA INSTALLED>
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <FusionX> Hydrozii did u use 'install missing plugins' in firefox?
[23:47] <Hydrozii> i use chromium
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <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
[23:52] <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?
[23:53] <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
[23:55] <FusionX> minecraft should work after that
[23:55] <FusionX> with the command
[23:56] <Hydrozii> ugh... well i thought i added the repository
[23:57] <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?
[23:58] <Sysi> i'm not exaxtly sure about package name
[23:58] <Hydrozii>  what is the partner repository called?
[23:58] <Sysi> partner
[23:59] <Hydrozii> no i guess not
[23:59] <Hydrozii> ill try the apt-add-repository again
