[00:02] <Hydrozii> what does this mean?
[00:03] <Sysi> something wrong with that line
[00:04] <Hydrozii> want me to paste the whole thing after the update?
[00:04] <Hydrozii> some weird kinda error
[00:04] <Sysi> gksudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:05] <Sysi> remove other partner-lines and replace with that like others
[00:06] <Sysi> or partber seems to be there already, just remove commenting #
[00:07] <Hydrozii> uncomment these?....  # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
[00:07] <Hydrozii> # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
[00:07] <Sysi> take #s off
[00:07] <Hydrozii> yah okay just making sure i had the right lines
[00:08] <Hydrozii> yay installation is working
[00:08] <Hydrozii> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[00:08] <Hydrozii> so in a second ill try the launcher
[00:08] <Hydrozii> java -jar "minecraft.jar" is the command for the launcher right?
[00:09] <Sysi> i think
[00:10] <Hydrozii> how do i press ok in the package configuration in the terminal.....
[00:12] <Sysi> what configuration?
[00:12] <Hydrozii> the licence agreement its showing me in the terminal
[00:12] <Hydrozii> this is new to me
[00:13] <Sysi> y or yes propably
[00:13] <Hydrozii> there is no place i can type...
[00:14] <Sysi> just press enter
[00:15] <Hydrozii> yah thats the first thing i tried
[00:15] <Hydrozii> it has no effect...
[00:15] <FusionX> press down arrow key and then enter.
[00:15] <Hydrozii> nope. :(
[00:15] <FusionX> ...
[00:16] <Hydrozii> ill upload a screenshot... if its possible to upload images to irc
[00:16] <FusionX> try "up" arrow
[00:16] <Hydrozii> up arrow scrolls up in the license agreement.... and down arrow scrolls down
[00:17] <FusionX> see pm
[00:17] <Hydrozii> there is an unmoving <ok> at the bottom which i can not figure out how to select
[00:18] <Sysi> press tab
[00:18] <Hydrozii> tab worked lol
[00:19] <Hydrozii> i should have tried tab
[00:21] <Hydrozii> ok so clicking on the launcher has no effect at all...
[00:22] <FusionX> try that command in terminal
[00:22] <Hydrozii> the command being.... java -jar "a/b/minecraft.jar" ?
[00:23] <FusionX> yes
[00:23] <Hydrozii> ok the output is just >
[00:24] <Hydrozii> >
[00:24] <Hydrozii> what the hec does that mean?
[00:24] <FusionX> java -jar ~/Downloads/minecraft.jar
[00:25] <FusionX> copy paste that
[00:25] <Hydrozii> unable to access jar file
[00:26] <Hydrozii> why cant it access jarfile?
[00:26] <FusionX> cd to downloads direectory and minecraft.jar
[00:26] <FusionX> -_-;
[00:26] <FusionX> java -jar minecraft.jar
[00:27] <Hydrozii> java -jar ~/Downloads/minecraft.jar
[00:27] <Hydrozii> oops
[00:27] <Hydrozii> didnt mean to paste that
[00:27] <Hydrozii> Unable to access jarfile minecraft.jar
[00:27] <FusionX> cd to downloads directory and java -jar minecraft.jar
[00:27] <Hydrozii> i did and thats the output
[00:28] <FusionX> see pm
[00:40] <Hydrozii> so i got minecraft running thanks to FusionX
[00:41] <Hydrozii> my whole problem was that i didn't capitalize Minecraft.jar
[00:45] <Hydrozii> hey guys...
[00:45] <Hydrozii> what folder are the icons in?
[00:46] <Hydrozii> ahh nvrmnd
[01:53] <jinxzs> how to access file shared by windows?
[02:47] <Hydrozii> okay so i just downloaded a patch for fallout 3..... Fallout3_1.7_English_US.exe
[02:47] <Hydrozii> and when i try to run it through wine i get...
[02:47] <Hydrozii> The file '/home/..../wine/dosdevices/c:/Fallout3_1.7_English_US.exe' 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.
[02:48] <Hydrozii> so what should i do?
[03:07] <Hydrozii> also another file that i downloaded won't extract... and the error says... No suitable archive manager found.
[03:09] <Hydrozii> ugh where is fusionX when you need him
[06:49] <FusionX> btw Hydrozii did u get minecraft to run in offline mode?
[07:27] <Aemaeth> I did the lastest update to linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic and then I can no longer get to xubuntu, it loads up a grub gnu bootloader shell thing, I don't know what to do at this point, all i did was update :(
[08:04] <TheSheep> Aemaeth: any messages before loading the shell?
[08:11] <Aemaeth> no :(
[08:12] <Aemaeth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/503732/  this is what i see, i just rebooted after doing the livecd grub fix and same screen
[08:14] <Aemaeth> my solutions looks like is going to be "Never update" and i'm slowly accepting that fact.  but this seems to be the only machine having this problem :(
[08:16] <Aemaeth> maybe when they update the live cd/install cd to the .25 generic pae, it will install like that (i hope) but for now i think i should cut my losses and stick with .21
[08:18] <Aemaeth> seemed to have a problem installing grub to /dev/sda if that helps any, had to install to /dev/sda1, BUT the original install did not have this problem, faulty memory maybe?
[08:37] <Aemaeth> onto my 3rd install round!  wish me luck?
[08:38] <Aemaeth> i've learned my lesson, ignore red numbers with exclamation points, they bring trouble
[08:40] <Aemaeth> it says i'm erasing ubuntu, is that what happened?
[10:27] <MidnightCommando> 'sup guys
[10:27] <MidnightCommando> i've got just a little bit of trouble with the xubuntu 10.04 desktop amd64 disc.
[10:27] <MidnightCommando> namely, the damned thing's useless. sha256 checks out, i've tried multiple CDs and at multiple speeds, even a USB stick via unetbootin
[10:28] <MidnightCommando> official ubuntu CDs start just fine
[10:28] <MidnightCommando> as do other livecds i've burned
[10:28] <MidnightCommando> this livecd, however, refuses under any circumstances to boot, inf act my computer acts like it's not even there. has anyone had this problem?
[11:10]  * MidnightCommando for nick in #channel, do poke $nick, done
[13:24] <chomwitt> trying to install 10.04 in a school lab with pentium4s and 200MB i noticed install times over 2hours. The lab has 64Kbs isdn connection so i guess it must bandwidth issue. can i do a cdrom only install?
[13:26] <psycho_oreos> I believe so yes, but you still need to update it
[13:26] <chomwitt> psycho_oreos: i could use apt-cache for the update procude.
[13:27] <MidnightCommando> oooh, activity
[13:27] <psycho_oreos> chomwitt, yeah but I'm not sure whether or not you still need the signing keys or you'll need to manually add your own
[13:28] <psycho_oreos> MidnightCommando, what's your computer spec?
[13:28] <MidnightCommando> i am attempting to run 10.04 amd64 desktop as a livecd ... alas my livecds fail to boot, and making the xubuntu iso into a liveusb also failed. suggestions? i can't believe the release team would put out a broken release, because someone would have noticed... obviously i'm doing something wrong. can has halp?
[13:29] <psycho_oreos> more specifically what is the CPU
[13:29] <MidnightCommando> psycho_oreos: amd athlon64+ x2 ... gigabyte motherboard with latest BIOS flash, pioneer dvr-118 on EIDE, one harddrive (320G) for /, /boot, and swap, one 1.5TB drive for /home, both on internal SATA
[13:30] <MidnightCommando> oh and the MBR of the system drive is trashed so i've been using a boot floppy for a month or three. >_>
[13:30] <chomwitt> psycho_oreos: thanks
[13:30] <MidnightCommando>  (tl;dr no i am not runnning 64-bit code on a 32-bit cpu, if that's what you're thinking)
[13:31] <moetunes> did you do the md5 check on the iso?
[13:31] <MidnightCommando> no. i did sha256
[13:31] <MidnightCommando> which checked out.
[13:31] <moetunes> k
[13:32] <psycho_oreos> MidnightCommando, no, but are you sure that your computer can boot usb? I have amd x2 sitting right next to me with msi mobo and there's no bios updates to make it boot usb
[13:32] <psycho_oreos> why not give the i386 version a try?
[13:32] <MidnightCommando> psycho_oreos: absolutely sure, the BIOS Boot Priority Selection explicitly lists USB devices
[13:32] <MidnightCommando> psycho_oreos: because i need to chroot into a 64-bit environment.
[13:32] <MidnightCommando> i'm pulling a bit of a rescue mission.
[13:33] <MidnightCommando> i'd use the disc i'm on atm (kubuntu 7.10 amd64) for it, but it doesn't have ext4 which is a HUGE problem
[13:38] <MidnightCommando> hrm psycho_oreos is it possible that one of the mirroring sites holds a corrupt verstion of the iso?
[13:38] <MidnightCommando> because i did kind of grab the file from the internode mirror. over ftp.
[13:40] <psycho_oreos> unlikely but possible
[13:42] <MidnightCommando> meh
[13:42] <MidnightCommando> an md5 collision is extremely improbable for mere corruption, and the md5s match up to another server (ftp.ubuntu.com)
[13:43] <MidnightCommando> this is puzzling
[13:44] <moetunes> if the iso checks out it might be a bad burn - tried the cd chesk?
[13:44] <moetunes> or check even?
[13:46] <MidnightCommando> moetunes: cd check would work if i got to ISOLINUX
[13:46] <MidnightCommando> i don't
[13:46] <MidnightCommando> i don't know if it's possible to checksum a cd against a file?
[13:47] <MidnightCommando> (also, the cd burn being at fault is not really likely given the liveUSB attempt failed spectacularly)
[13:48] <moetunes> you don't even get to the cd's menu?
[13:49] <MidnightCommando> moetunes: "computer acts like it's not even there" as i described earlier
[13:49] <MidnightCommando> i still can't think of a better way to put it
[13:49] <MidnightCommando> :(
[13:50] <moetunes> MidnightCommando:  if the cd will work in another comp you might have h/ware issues...
[13:51] <MidnightCommando> precluded again by the liveUSB booting as far as the unetbootin loader and then failing
[13:52] <MidnightCommando> and the fact that other CDs boot without issue
[13:53] <moetunes> ofc - I should pay more attention
[13:53] <MidnightCommando> oh and by the way
[13:53] <MidnightCommando> i don't know if i'm showing any attitude atm, i find it difficult to discern at the best of times :P but if so, i do apologise.
[13:54] <moetunes> it's all fine :]
[13:54] <moetunes> I'm watching a movie here atm so my attention is split
[13:59] <MidnightCommando> i think i'm going to attempt another boot run in case it's just One Of Those Gremlins
[13:59] <MidnightCommando> at this point i don't want to download another livecd
[13:59] <moetunes> good luck :]
[13:59] <MidnightCommando> so, thanks everyone, i'll brb - just need to detach and reboot.
[14:09] <MidnightCommando> wish i could say i had better luck
[14:10] <moetunes> bummer
[14:11] <MidnightCommando> now have to wait an hour for off-peak so i can go grab an iso of linux-mint-xfce or something
[14:11] <MidnightCommando> i'm starting to suspect xubuntu jsut doesn't like me as much as it used to
[14:12] <MidnightCommando> (i had 7.10 when i was doing my first gentoo install a while back, it was /flawless/ on this hardware)
[14:13] <MidnightCommando> thanks kindly for all your help, guys! much appreciated :)
[14:13]  * MidnightCommando exit stage left
[16:43] <wbadger> hi, when I close a terminal window (or type exit) the program gets stuck. If I try to kill it it just gets defunct but the process never dies. does anyone know what could cause this? btw I have several more issues but I don't know if they are connected.
, the terminal window itself gets stuck?
[17:05] <wbadger> yes
[17:05] <wbadger> I then get the message "This window might be busy and is not responding.Do you want to terminate the application?"
[17:10] <eeffoc> Hmm, I haven't seen that one -- I'll have to search around a bit. Have you checked the ubuntu forum site yet?
[17:13] <wbadger> eeffoc, sorry, I didn't. I'll try that
[17:13] <eeffoc> I wish I was more help! Sorry >_< Does the message allow you to select 'yes' or 'no', thus terminating the terminal successfully, or does it still hang?
[17:15] <eeffoc> It isn't a full screen terminal, is it?
[17:16] <wbadger> the message does allow me that, and it isn't full screen. And thank you
[17:19] <TheSheep> wbadger: you could try using strace to see what the program is doing
[17:20] <wbadger> TheSheep, I tried. I saw nothing special, it ended with "exit_group(127)                         = ?"
[17:21] <chomwitt> i installed 10.04 in a virtual machine with no network atall and i see that it has the same packages. So why in the installation a slow connection can make the installation so slow?
[17:22] <TheSheep> chomwitt: maybe it checks for updates?
[17:26] <charlie-tca> A slow connection means it will still download some of the packages. No connection means it will not even attempt the downloads
[17:26] <chomwitt> TheSheep: is there a debug way to see what installer is doing?
[17:27] <TheSheep> chomwitt: there is the install log
[17:29] <chomwitt> i installed over 10 pc last week in two school labs in greece. except for the installation delay in the slow internet case i also noted that the first time i boot the system is very slow.. when i reboot its ok!. It sounds strange, but the same happend now in my virtual xubuntu!!
[17:30] <chomwitt> nevertheless in the one lab everything is ok now. Xubuntu saw ok an old msi p4 mobo , sound ok ,microphone ok,web cam ok ,scanner ok! So a great thanks to xubuntu and foss!
[17:31] <chomwitt> TheSheep: i'll try to find the install log. thanks!
[17:31] <charlie-tca> chomwitt: /var/log/installer
[17:47] <eeffoc> Anyone know how to make the panel STAY? I can use ALT
[17:47] <eeffoc> errr. ALT + F2 and run XFCE4-Panel
[19:48] <hagg> hello, i just tried to install qtcreator on a fresh install of xubuntu lucid lynx. qtdesigner works, qtdemos works, but qtcreator takes one whole cpu-core for ~1min, a window pops up and closes immediatly. no error messages.
[19:49] <hagg> any idea what might cause this?
[19:50] <hagg> i tested it on my "default" xubuntu system, same behaviour
[20:16] <Sysi> hagg: start it in terminal and see if it gives error messages
[20:17] <hagg> no error messages, tried it already in a terminal
[20:17] <hagg> window opens, closes immediatly, and the shell-prompt shows (process exited, i guess)
[20:18] <Sysi> does it have -v or something verbose?
[20:20] <hagg> no, just a parameter for version according to manpage and --help output
[20:21] <hagg> wait a moment, i am going to strace it
[20:25] <hagg> http://codepad.org/oATSUYqK  <- latest 42 lines of strace output
[20:26] <Sysi> you should propably file a bug
