| Green | hello, I need a bit of help installing a program from a tar.gz file | 08:36 |
| Green | is there anybody here who can walk me through the process? | 08:37 |
| Tm_T | what program it is? | 08:37 |
| Green | desura beta for linux | 08:37 |
| Green | it's just a single file called desura inside the tar.gz file | 08:37 |
| Green | I'm not entirely sure what to do to get it to do something and install | 08:37 |
| Tm_T | what happens if you unpack it and run it? | 08:38 |
| Green | i get a popup asking me if i want to run it in terminal or just run it | 08:38 |
| Green | if i click either option, nothing happens | 08:38 |
| Green | well, nothing visual anyway | 08:38 |
| Tm_T | hmmm, interesting | 08:38 |
| Green | and no terminal opens either just to clarify | 08:38 |
| bioterror | have you given chmod +x? | 08:39 |
| Green | how do I do that? | 08:39 |
| bioterror | sudo chmod +x binary | 08:39 |
| Tm_T | right click on the file... | 08:39 |
| Tm_T | bioterror: if he's double clicking, he's on a file manager, so if you know how to do it in there, please tell (: | 08:40 |
| Green | when you say chmod, do you mean that thing where you turn it into an exe? | 08:40 |
| Tm_T | yes, basicly | 08:40 |
| Green | because it already is in the executable mode | 08:40 |
| Green | as in, I can double click on it | 08:40 |
| Green | if i go to properties, it says its an executable | 08:40 |
| Tm_T | so that's sorted | 08:41 |
| bioterror | if you run it in terminal: ./binary in the folder containing it, does it prompt anything? | 08:41 |
| bioterror | or sh binary | 08:41 |
| Green | I will do so now | 08:41 |
| Green | sh binary gives | 08:41 |
| Green | robert@robert-F3JR:~/Downloads$ sh desura | 08:42 |
| Green | desura: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") | 08:42 |
| Green | syntax error | 08:42 |
| Green | perhaps I extracted it from the tar.gz incorrectly? | 08:42 |
| bioterror | hardly | 08:42 |
| Green | ok | 08:43 |
| Green | I'm sure it would be a generic style install | 08:44 |
| Green | I just don't know how to do that | 08:44 |
| Green | because I wasn't told that there is any specific way of installing, rather I was told simply to install it | 08:44 |
| Tm_T | Green: my next suggestion would be asking Desura's support forums (: | 08:44 |
| Green | mmm, I don't think that's the issue, I'm just inexperienced with linux, and it still confuses me | 08:45 |
| Tm_T | Green: to me it looks like the executable you're trying to run is possibly broken in the first place | 08:46 |
| bioterror | oh well, that's beta software | 08:46 |
| Green | well | 08:47 |
| Green | that's the consistency of linux for you | 08:47 |
| Green | now it's running | 08:47 |
| Green | i double clicked it a third time and it worked executing regularly | 08:47 |
| Tm_T | awww | 08:47 |
| bioterror | :D | 08:47 |
| Green | and it crashed | 08:49 |
| Green | that's betas for you | 08:49 |
| BjornW | Can someone tell me how I can change the default keymap? Each time I start up my machine I have to change it by hand which is annoying. | 09:30 |
| papa | ]:-> | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | quiet today eh | 10:45 |
| phillw | BjornW: which version of Lubuntu are you using? | 13:39 |
| BjornW | 11.04 | 13:48 |
| Unit193 | You should be able to edit /etc/default/keyboard under XKBLAYOUT | 13:50 |
| BjornW | Unit193: thanks. Any idea where I can find the right string for XKBVARIANT? | 13:51 |
| Unit193 | Its' noting by defualt | 13:52 |
| Unit193 | Still is noting for me | 13:52 |
| BjornW | I think mine is euro according to this http://dreamlinuxforums.org/index.php?topic=3305.0;wap2 | 13:54 |
| phillw | BjornW: under Preferences, do you not have Lxkeymap? | 13:57 |
| BjornW | phillw: I do have it, but it will only set it for the current session | 13:58 |

| aqualuk | hi | 16:07 |
| amjjawad | bodhi_zazen: hello bodhi :) | 17:08 |
| amjjawad | philipballew, hey, I finally made it to irc :P | 19:17 |
| amjjawad | philipballew, sorry, I didn't notice the username :( | 19:19 |
| amjjawad | I'm looking for phillw | 19:19 |
| philipballew | amjjawad, its all good. I think He appears to be offline. He should be on soon then | 19:19 |
| philipballew | you new to irc? | 19:19 |
| amjjawad | very new | 19:20 |
| amjjawad | first time in my entire life | 19:20 |
| amjjawad | I have joined LXDE and Lubuntu Team two weeks ago but never logged in to irc | 19:20 |
| philipballew | nice! how long have you been a ubuntu user? | 19:21 |
| amjjawad | I joined UF in Oct 2009 | 19:22 |
| amjjawad | but I started to be a Linux User in Sept 2010 | 19:22 |
| amjjawad | since then, I can't live one day without it | 19:22 |
| amjjawad | I have the same username on UF | 19:22 |
| philipballew | Nice! so you like lubuntu then? | 19:23 |
| amjjawad | a lot | 19:23 |
| philipballew | what about it do you like about it compared to other ui's? | 19:23 |
| amjjawad | you mean over variants? | 19:24 |
| philipballew | sure? | 19:25 |
| philipballew | or just what you like in general | 19:25 |
| amjjawad | I love LXDE and GNOME 2.x but since the last is no longer supported and I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity, I thought to go for LXDE | 19:26 |
| amjjawad | for the last 4 weeks, I'm all into LXDE. Never used XFCE and KDE and don't like them | 19:26 |
| amjjawad | My PC is very much able to run Unity 3D but I'm using Lubuntu 11.04 and so much happy with it | 19:27 |
| philipballew | lots of people are switching to other gui's after the gnome 3 release. Linus switched to xfce | 19:27 |
| amjjawad | Linus himself? I see | 19:28 |
| amjjawad | IMHO, GNOME3 and Unity is just like Win7 (not sure what they call it) desktop | 19:28 |
| amjjawad | feel like copy-paste | 19:28 |
| amjjawad | Yes, many are switching to LXDE too. | 19:29 |
| philipballew | Well the ideas begind lxde are different then gnome3 or the unity project. | 19:31 |
| amjjawad | indeed | 19:31 |
| amjjawad | nothing better than turning a dead machine to a flying one :) | 19:32 |
| philipballew | if you run lxde on a comp with a fast processor and lots of ram it loads instantly | 19:33 |
| amjjawad | check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/album.php?albumid=2136&pictureid=7114 | 19:34 |
| amjjawad | LXDE gave new life to that antique machine | 19:34 |
| philipballew | Lubuntu needs a ppc port | 19:36 |
| amjjawad | ? | 19:37 |
| amjjawad | reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC | 19:49 |
| MichealH | amjjawad: phillw has returned, you may see him now :p | 20:07 |
| amjjawad | Thanks :) | 20:07 |
| amjjawad | Just wanted to say hi to him :) | 20:07 |
| amjjawad | phillw, Hello Phill :) | 20:07 |
| phillw | hiyas amjjawad :) | 20:08 |
| amjjawad | Hey, I'm finally here :D | 20:08 |
| amjjawad | brother helped me because as you know, I have never used irc at all | 20:09 |
| phillw | amjjawad: it's not that hard :P | 20:10 |
| amjjawad | well, for you but for someone who had never used it ... it is :D | 20:12 |
| amjjawad | anyway, I'm here and was talking to philipballew | 20:12 |
| amjjawad | it was a nice start | 20:13 |
| MichealH | amjjawad: For the normal user, its just a box you type into | 20:14 |
| MichealH | Nothing too complicated :) | 20:14 |
| amjjawad | Yes, I figured that out :D | 20:15 |
| amjjawad | I told Phill, I prefer Forum and other ways to communicate but he said irc is important to meet up with other ppl and get to know them closely | 20:16 |
| amjjawad | I'm starting to see his point now | 20:16 |
| amjjawad | :) | 20:16 |
| MichealH | You meet all the cool, guys on IRC | 20:16 |
| amjjawad | I'm not sure if you guys know me but I'm kind of active on UF with the same name | 20:16 |
| MichealH | ;) | 20:16 |
| phillw | amjjawad: ensure you get #lubuntu-offtopic bookmarked, that is where we just chat about things and life in general :) | 20:17 |
| amjjawad | Oh great :) | 20:18 |
| amjjawad | that explains why this channel is queit :D | 20:18 |
| phillw | amjjawad: I'll send an invite :) | 20:19 |
| amjjawad | WOW, a busy channel ... | 20:21 |
| pip__ | HI all. I have a simple question. | 20:56 |
| pip__ | I've been updating an oneiric beta 1 install regularly. Would there be much pointfresh installing beta 2? | 20:57 |
| pip__ | I think probably from a functional perspective , not iso testing | 20:57 |
| pip__ | if you see what I mean.... | 20:58 |
| phillw | pip__: From a functional point of view, the answer is no :) Provided you do not run odd patches, you can go all the way from alpha1 to final release by just updating :) | 21:11 |
| pip__ | excellent! Thanks Phill | 21:11 |
| pip__ | I'm really enjoying beta1 & LSC | 21:12 |
| pip__ | ttfn | 21:41 |
