[03:23] Anyone manage to get a solid media key configuration application working on Lubuntu? === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsServer [08:36] hello, I need a bit of help installing a program from a tar.gz file [08:37] is there anybody here who can walk me through the process? [08:37] what program it is? [08:37] desura beta for linux [08:37] it's just a single file called desura inside the tar.gz file [08:37] I'm not entirely sure what to do to get it to do something and install [08:38] what happens if you unpack it and run it? [08:38] i get a popup asking me if i want to run it in terminal or just run it [08:38] if i click either option, nothing happens [08:38] well, nothing visual anyway [08:38] hmmm, interesting [08:38] and no terminal opens either just to clarify [08:39] have you given chmod +x? [08:39] how do I do that? [08:39] sudo chmod +x binary [08:39] right click on the file... [08:40] 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] when you say chmod, do you mean that thing where you turn it into an exe? [08:40] yes, basicly [08:40] because it already is in the executable mode [08:40] as in, I can double click on it [08:40] if i go to properties, it says its an executable [08:41] so that's sorted [08:41] if you run it in terminal: ./binary in the folder containing it, does it prompt anything? [08:41] or sh binary [08:41] I will do so now [08:41] sh binary gives [08:42] robert@robert-F3JR:~/Downloads$ sh desura [08:42] desura: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") [08:42] syntax error [08:42] perhaps I extracted it from the tar.gz incorrectly? [08:42] hardly [08:43] ok [08:44] I'm sure it would be a generic style install [08:44] I just don't know how to do that [08:44] because I wasn't told that there is any specific way of installing, rather I was told simply to install it [08:44] Green: my next suggestion would be asking Desura's support forums (: [08:45] mmm, I don't think that's the issue, I'm just inexperienced with linux, and it still confuses me [08:46] Green: to me it looks like the executable you're trying to run is possibly broken in the first place [08:46] oh well, that's beta software [08:47] well [08:47] that's the consistency of linux for you [08:47] now it's running [08:47] i double clicked it a third time and it worked executing regularly [08:47] awww [08:47] :D [08:49] and it crashed [08:49] that's betas for you [09:30] 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. [10:33] ]:-> [10:45] quiet today eh [13:39] BjornW: which version of Lubuntu are you using? [13:48] 11.04 [13:50] You should be able to edit /etc/default/keyboard under XKBLAYOUT [13:51] Unit193: thanks. Any idea where I can find the right string for XKBVARIANT? [13:52] Its' noting by defualt [13:52] Still is noting for me [13:54] I think mine is euro according to this http://dreamlinuxforums.org/index.php?topic=3305.0;wap2 [13:57] BjornW: under Preferences, do you not have Lxkeymap? [13:58] phillw: I do have it, but it will only set it for the current session === zmijunkie_ is now known as zmijunkie === AmberJ_ is now known as AmberJ [15:58] BjornW: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455877 (#4 specially) [16:07] hi [17:08] bodhi_zazen: hello bodhi :) [19:17] philipballew, hey, I finally made it to irc :P [19:19] philipballew, sorry, I didn't notice the username :( [19:19] I'm looking for phillw [19:19] amjjawad, its all good. I think He appears to be offline. He should be on soon then [19:19] you new to irc? [19:20] very new [19:20] first time in my entire life [19:20] I have joined LXDE and Lubuntu Team two weeks ago but never logged in to irc [19:21] nice! how long have you been a ubuntu user? [19:22] I joined UF in Oct 2009 [19:22] but I started to be a Linux User in Sept 2010 [19:22] since then, I can't live one day without it [19:22] I have the same username on UF [19:23] Nice! so you like lubuntu then? [19:23] a lot [19:23] what about it do you like about it compared to other ui's? [19:24] you mean over variants? [19:25] sure? [19:25] or just what you like in general [19:26] 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] for the last 4 weeks, I'm all into LXDE. Never used XFCE and KDE and don't like them [19:27] 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] lots of people are switching to other gui's after the gnome 3 release. Linus switched to xfce [19:28] Linus himself? I see [19:28] IMHO, GNOME3 and Unity is just like Win7 (not sure what they call it) desktop [19:28] feel like copy-paste [19:29] Yes, many are switching to LXDE too. [19:31] Well the ideas begind lxde are different then gnome3 or the unity project. [19:31] indeed [19:32] nothing better than turning a dead machine to a flying one :) [19:33] if you run lxde on a comp with a fast processor and lots of ram it loads instantly [19:34] check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/album.php?albumid=2136&pictureid=7114 [19:34] LXDE gave new life to that antique machine [19:36] Lubuntu needs a ppc port [19:37] ? [19:49] reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC [20:07] amjjawad: phillw has returned, you may see him now :p [20:07] Thanks :) [20:07] Just wanted to say hi to him :) [20:07] phillw, Hello Phill :) [20:08] hiyas amjjawad :) [20:08] Hey, I'm finally here :D [20:09] brother helped me because as you know, I have never used irc at all [20:10] amjjawad: it's not that hard :P [20:12] well, for you but for someone who had never used it ... it is :D [20:12] anyway, I'm here and was talking to philipballew [20:13] it was a nice start [20:14] amjjawad: For the normal user, its just a box you type into [20:14] Nothing too complicated :) [20:15] Yes, I figured that out :D [20:16] 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] I'm starting to see his point now [20:16] :) [20:16] You meet all the cool, guys on IRC [20:16] I'm not sure if you guys know me but I'm kind of active on UF with the same name [20:16] ;) [20:17] amjjawad: ensure you get #lubuntu-offtopic bookmarked, that is where we just chat about things and life in general :) [20:18] Oh great :) [20:18] that explains why this channel is queit :D [20:19] amjjawad: I'll send an invite :) [20:21] WOW, a busy channel ... [20:56] HI all. I have a simple question. [20:57] I've been updating an oneiric beta 1 install regularly. Would there be much pointfresh installing beta 2? [20:57] I think probably from a functional perspective , not iso testing [20:58] if you see what I mean.... [21:11] 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] excellent! Thanks Phill [21:12] I'm really enjoying beta1 & LSC [21:41] ttfn
