| iamfennec | hello any one on ? | 02:37 |
| iamfennec | need some help | 02:58 |
| KM0201 | iamfennec: go ahead and ask | 03:03 |
| iamfennec | ok i'm useing lubuntu 10.04, i installed the unbuntu package managers ect because thats what i know. my update manager says i'm out of space and to use sudo apt-get clean | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | ok.. | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | that doesn't really clean much, other than the cache. | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | if you're really out of space, you really need to fix your partition set up tto be truthful. | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | apt-get clean isn't gonna do "that much" on most PC's | 03:13 |
| iamfennec | well i i thought that lubuntu manages all that | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | all versions of ubuntu keep a cache. | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | you clean it w/ apt-get clean | 03:13 |
| iamfennec | i see but i have 30gigs set aside for lubuntu | 03:14 |
| iamfennec | and i've not filled it up as far as i know | 03:14 |
| iamfennec | so i'm kinda at a loss | 03:14 |
| KM0201 | ok then either 1. you did somethign wrong, or 2. you've got a ton of music/movies/etc on your partition | 03:15 |
| KM0201 | hold on a ec | 03:15 |
| iamfennec | now the update manager seems to be stuck all greyed out and doing nothing | 03:15 |
| iamfennec | ok | 03:15 |
| iamfennec | i have nothing like that at all, is the any way i can see how full the partition is like in windows ? | 03:17 |
| KM0201 | um | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | easiest way, is probably gparted | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:19 |
| iamfennec | ok | 03:20 |
| iamfennec | i really don't know the ubuntu workflow for that stuff. | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | yah | 03:22 |
| iamfennec | or lubuntu either | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | once that installs, open it up by going to menu/system tools/gparted | 03:22 |
| iamfennec | is there a tutor somewhere i can learn this stuff | 03:22 |
| iamfennec | ? | 03:22 |
| iamfennec | k | 03:22 |
| Unit193 | You might actually want to find out it isn't correct | 03:23 |
| KM0201 | http://ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html | 03:24 |
| iamfennec | ok one sec i need to restart i think | 03:24 |
| Unit193 | df -h and sudo fdisk -l (and pastebinit :P) | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | iamfennec: that's one thing that is helpful | 03:24 |
| iamfennec | i'll come right back | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | i can never figure fdisk out, it never prints out my disk right, dunno why | 03:24 |
| Unit193 | Pastebinit | 03:25 |
| Unit193 | :P | 03:25 |
| iamfennec | ok i'm back | 03:27 |
| iamfennec | ok | 03:29 |
| iamfennec | so gparted shows that i have my 2 partitons one for windows and the other lubuntu 24.97gb | 03:30 |
| iamfennec | and it does look full | 03:30 |
| * iamfennec looks | 03:43 | |
| iamfennec | km0201 you there ? | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | so lubuntu is 24.97gigs, and its full | 03:44 |
| iamfennec | yes | 03:45 |
| KM0201 | i'm nt sure how to see what folders are taking up the most space | 03:46 |
| iamfennec | when i started into linux i was useing ubuntu 10.04 then a friend told me about lubuntu so i switched because i was on an older laptop | 03:46 |
| KM0201 | yeah, something isn't right. | 03:47 |
| KM0201 | not sure what, but.. something | 03:47 |
| iamfennec | i stayed with 10.04 thinking it was going to be the same as ubuntu but it looked and acted diferent | 03:47 |
| Unit193 | Type df -h into the terminal to see how much your /home is taking | 03:48 |
| KM0201 | Unit193: for me, that doesn't show anything for just "/home" | 03:49 |
| KM0201 | it just shows /dev/sda3 | 03:49 |
| iamfennec | so i figured out how to install the ubuntu software center and with it also gave me the update manager and snaptic package manager | 03:49 |
| Unit193 | du -h, wrong one :P | 03:49 |
| KM0201 | wow, yeah, thas right. | 03:49 |
| KM0201 | lol | 03:49 |
| Unit193 | !purelxde | iamfennec | 03:49 |
| ubot5 | iamfennec: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 03:49 |
| iamfennec | ok before i do anything can you exsplain what it is i've done? | 03:50 |
| iamfennec | i really don't understand what gnome or kde and all that even is | 03:51 |
| iamfennec | so did i screw everything up by installing what i knew to use ? | 03:52 |
| Unit193 | Blast, that's only for Oneiric, Natty, and Maverick | 03:52 |
| KM0201 | iamfennec: Lxde is the desktop interface that Lubuntu uses (Gnome, is what Ubntu used to youse, KDE is what Kubuntu uses) | 03:52 |
| Unit193 | iamfennec: Did you install lubuntu-deskttop | 03:52 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment | 03:53 |
| KM0201 | i just found about 1gig in my trash can.. but i doubt thats his proble | 03:54 |
| iamfennec | well let me look there | 03:55 |
| iamfennec | where do i find that ? | 03:55 |
| KM0201 | open up your home folder, there's a "trashcan" on the left | 03:55 |
| iamfennec | yeah thats empty | 03:57 |
| iamfennec | hi bioterror | 03:58 |
| iamfennec | yes i installed the desktop version but when i log off the user i can put to into the laptop version | 04:01 |
| KM0201 | no, lubuntu-desktop is a package | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | most of us have "lubuntu desktop" on our laptops | 04:05 |
| iamfennec | where do i check that ? | 04:07 |
| iamfennec | so i'm going to answer yes i installed the desktop package | 04:12 |
| KM0201 | iamfennec: i dunno, but i'm betting somewhere you've got a folder picking up lots of data, do you download a lot of torrents, or stuff like that/ | 04:12 |
| iamfennec | i think i've done 3 torents on this computer | 04:13 |
| iamfennec | should i try the pure ldxe website that was posted ? | 04:15 |
| iamfennec | crap | 04:16 |
| iamfennec | umm do i just need to reinstall everything ? | 04:17 |
| Unit193 | No, it's not for that version of (L)Ubuntu | 04:17 |
| iamfennec | ok | 04:17 |
| iamfennec | question | 04:17 |
| iamfennec | when i run the update manager and it installes a critical update say a system upgrade | 04:19 |
| iamfennec | then when i boot the computer and it asks if i want to run windows or ubuntu verson ___ there are multipal versions | 04:20 |
| Unit193 | Yep, those are different kernel versions in case the new update didn't work | 04:21 |
| iamfennec | so i learned how to clean that up by uninstalling the files with the old versions in the package manager | 04:21 |
| iamfennec | so if i keep up on those am i getting rid of everything that i need to of the old kernel packages? | 04:22 |
| Unit193 | Well, there are images and headers | 04:24 |
| iamfennec | yeah its the headers i've been dealing with | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | Have a read of this and see if you want to try it http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-unused-linux-kernel-headers.html | 04:24 |
| iamfennec | that looks promising | 04:27 |
| Unit193 | Run this in terminal, it will tell you the 20 largest dirs you have du -xk | sort -n | tail -20 | 04:30 |
| iamfennec | ok here is what that link resulted in | 04:31 |

| iamfennec | so i go to the website is told me about ? | 04:38 |
| iamfennec | i'm sorry i feel really stupid with this stuff | 04:38 |
| iamfennec | there we go | 04:39 |
| iamfennec | http://paste.ubuntu.com/720360/ | 04:39 |
| Unit193 | That's fine, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the into in there | 04:39 |
| Unit193 | (It's less spammy and makes it easier to look at) | 04:39 |
| iamfennec | looks like the kids are trying to get my little pony episodes seems to me | 04:40 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, that's rahter large! | 04:41 |
| Unit193 | Try taking that out... | 04:41 |
| iamfennec | so thats it right ? let me delete it and we'll see where we're at | 04:41 |
| === Laibeus_Lord is now known as Laibcoms | ||
| iamfennec | yeah that was it | 04:44 |
| iamfennec | i'm down to 3 gigs used now | 04:45 |
| iamfennec | holy cow all that work for something so simple | 04:45 |
| Unit193 | All fixed | 04:45 |
| iamfennec | lets try that update | 04:47 |
| iamfennec | yeah thats working | 04:48 |
| Unit193 | Yep, might want to talk about that to "the kids" :P | 04:49 |
| iamfennec | hey unit193 do you know what the diference is between 10.04 and 10.10 | 04:49 |
| iamfennec | lol | 04:50 |
| Unit193 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Announcement/MaverickMeerkat | 04:51 |
| iamfennec | i heard that 11.04 was no good, thats why i've not upgraded | 04:51 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | iamfennec: 6 month | 04:51 |
| Unit193 | The current release is 11.10 :P (That's 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10) | 04:52 |
| iamfennec | tho now there up too 11.10 right | 04:52 |
| iamfennec | whats 6 months ? | 04:52 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | diference :) | 04:52 |
| iamfennec | oh no new interface or whatnot ? | 04:53 |
| iamfennec | johndoe what do you use ? | 04:53 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | 10.04 | 04:53 |
| iamfennec | unit193 what do you use ? | 04:54 |
| Unit193 | 11.10, but the upgrade didn't go the best (that's on one computer) | 04:54 |
| iamfennec | and what do you think of the 11 series lubuntu ? | 04:58 |
| iamfennec | thanks for that link btw | 04:58 |
| Unit193 | I'm more using it via terminal/ssh, but it's fine. The upgrade from 11.04 just wasn't the best :/ | 05:00 |
| iamfennec | did you do a fresh install at that point ? | 05:02 |
| Unit193 | Nope, it's working | 05:02 |
| iamfennec | maybe i'm missing it but what i miss in a os is the help info thats built into it | 05:03 |
| iamfennec | i can't seem to find it anywhere | 05:03 |
| iamfennec | and searching for files is really difficult too | 05:03 |
| iamfennec | course i'm use to the windows interfacing not through a terminal | 05:04 |
| Unit193 | Whaqt are you looking to find info on? man cat will tell you info on the cat command | 05:09 |
| iamfennec | well nothing off the top of my head its just when i get lost or need to look for the lubuntu equilvent of some windows funtion thats where i get lost | 05:11 |
| iamfennec | like umm | 05:11 |
| iamfennec | syschk and defrag | 05:11 |
| iamfennec | i'm not sure lubuntu needs that kind of looking after but thats one thing that i've wondered if i need to be doing to keep the computer running good | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | There is the wiki pages and Lubuntu FAQ | 05:14 |
| Ned1 | hi | 05:23 |
| wxl | howdee folks | 05:35 |
| jgratero | is there any way to list one's audio devices, inputs, mics with ls? | 13:57 |
| brother- | jgratero: not really. lspci lsusb and the /dev and /sys is of interest | 14:04 |
| jgratero | Thanks! | 14:06 |
| brother- | jgratero: there are some system diagnostics/information applications out there that does it. not sure about command line things though | 14:06 |
| jgratero | yeah, I was looking some command to print the inputs/outputs and sound devices as a list, thought the ls was the option to go | 14:08 |
| jgratero | I'm having a problem with my mic, the headphones work | 14:08 |
| jgratero | but the mic doesn't get any sound at all | 14:09 |
| jgratero | I've tested the headset in a Xubuntu Machine at home, and at two Vistas I have at the office | 14:09 |
| jgratero | it works | 14:09 |
| jgratero | so the problem is the configuration of this machine... I'm tinkering with alsamixer, no success until now | 14:10 |
| jgratero | I'm upgrading the distribution we use in our office, so, I'll wait until then to see if there is any change on the subject | 14:12 |
| lollz | hi guys! do you happen to know how to change the login screen avatar/pic on the latest lubuntu? | 14:42 |
| fitus | hello everyone | 15:12 |
| fitus | I am having trouble with the new lubuntu version, every time a restart my box my sound is gone and so is my vol icon from the panel, any why in how to fix it ? | 15:14 |
| wxl | mourning kids | 15:53 |
| Ascavasaion | Hello, I have an old system, AMD Duron 1300MHz, 380 odd megs of ram. What webserver can I set up for use here at home? Apache will not slow it down? Should I use another lighter weight webserver? | 16:59 |
| wxl | Ascavasaion: the two that come to mind are nginx and lighttpd | 17:02 |
| Ascavasaion | Thank you wxl | 17:03 |
| wxl | i personally haven't used them much but certainly not with lubuntu but they have a reputation for low resource usage | 17:03 |
| wxl | both are in the ubuntu repos | 17:03 |
| wxl | Ascavasaion: you my wee little 1.5ghz 1280mb ram powerbook seem like a supercomputer.. and i complain about youtube and such ;) | 17:07 |
| Ascavasaion | I have other computers, but I set this old one up to lave running for downloads etc. | 17:07 |
| Ascavasaion | lave=leave | 17:08 |
| * wxl still can't wait to build up a super mini-itx server/nas | 17:10 | |
| wxl | Ascavasaion: thttpd is one other possibility but i've no experience with that at ALL | 17:11 |
| wxl | can't necessarily "recommend" it | 17:11 |
| Ascavasaion | Thank you. Think I will stick with Apache. I have about 5% experience with it hehe The others I have 0% :) | 17:13 |
| wxl | in terms of size alone lighttpd > nginx-full > nginx-light > thttpd | 17:13 |
| wxl | there's a lot of support for apache | 17:13 |
| wxl | however i'd say that's also true of nginx | 17:14 |
| * wxl is getting excited about thttpd | 17:14 | |
| wxl | about equal in speed as other common webservers, faster under extreme load | 17:15 |
| wxl | ipv6 ready | 17:15 |
| wxl | security | 17:15 |
| wxl | wow max users 1000+ | 17:16 |
| wxl | (not like i neeed that) | 17:16 |
| wxl | http://acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html | 17:18 |
| Ascavasaion | If I want to access a webserver on a PC on a network that is behind a router... how do I force the router to route the info to the specific PC that has the webserver running on it. | 17:26 |
| Ascavasaion | Do I use that Port forwarding? | 17:26 |
| wxl | you need to tweak port forwarding on your router | 17:27 |
| Ascavasaion | Thank you, thought so :) | 17:27 |
| wxl | np | 17:27 |
| Ascavasaion | This port forwarding has me buggered hehehe | 18:02 |
| wxl | check out portforward.com if you haven't already | 18:04 |
| wxl | it makes it pretty plain and simple | 18:04 |
| Ascavasaion | I gopt it working. My settings were correct. I just had to access it from an external connection and not internally. I used my cellphone and it worked like a charm :) | 18:14 |
| wxl | sweet | 18:15 |
| wxl | yeah should have told you that | 18:15 |
| wxl | usually one figures it out on their own :D | 18:15 |
| wxl | my cellphone is my best friend when it comes to networking troubleshooting | 18:15 |
| wxl | especially considering i can use the shell | 18:15 |
| wxl | i can vnc, vpn, ssh, you name it | 18:16 |
| Ascavasaion | I have a Blackberry. any free app you can sugest for telnetting, SSHing into the PC remotely from the cell? | 18:19 |
| wxl | they're out there but i don't think they're free | 18:19 |
| wxl | i briefly had a blackberry | 18:19 |
| wxl | hated it | 18:19 |
| Ascavasaion | I hate it as well hehe | 18:19 |
| Ascavasaion | I miss my old Nokia E63. | 18:20 |
| wxl | heh | 18:20 |
| wxl | i have a palm pre | 18:20 |
| wxl | supposedly i can run i think debian lxde off of it | 18:20 |
| wxl | so i'm gonna do that once i get a new phone | 18:20 |
| wxl | i'm going andrioid | 18:20 |
| wxl | s/ri/r/ | 18:20 |
| Ascavasaion | Aaaah, nice. | 18:20 |
| wxl | unless my wife makes me get an iphone which i really don't want | 18:22 |
| wxl | it's just the same as i think an ipad is great for her, but i don't want one at all | 18:22 |
| Ascavasaion | My friend gave me a Chinese knock-off of an iPhone hehehe What a piece of junk. | 18:33 |
| wxl | hahahah | 18:33 |
| Ascavasaion | Looks nice, runs simple things nicely, but that is where it ends. | 18:34 |
| wxl | right and that's the joy of the imachine: does easy things well | 18:35 |
| wxl | which for like 90% of the general public is perfect | 18:35 |
| Ascavasaion | hehehe | 18:35 |
| wxl | these commercials where you speak into the phone are kind of stupid. "i'm locked out of my house, please help me." give me a break. look it up, dumb ass. ;) | 18:35 |
| Ascavasaion | Just being able to get onto IRC has been a saving grace for me at times when troubleshooting people's Internet troubles. | 18:36 |

| Kutakizukari | Upgraded to Lubuntu 11.10 from 11.04, now the chromium browser will freezes and uses all CPU. How can I fix? | 21:03 |
| xsaidx | Kutakizukari: you can report a bug tho and wait if any dev will fix it | 21:09 |
| Kutakizukari | xsaidx, Okay | 21:11 |
| xsaidx | ;] | 21:11 |
| wxl | explain how you upgraded too Kutakizukari | 21:11 |
| Kutakizukari | wxl, will do | 21:12 |
| wxl | how DID you upgrade? | 21:12 |
| wxl | from within 11.04 with update manager? | 21:13 |
| wxl | oh and make sure to include your version of chromium | 21:13 |
| Kutakizukari | update manager | 21:15 |
| Kutakizukari | running apport now | 21:15 |
| wxl | 14.0.835.202~r103287-0ubuntu1? | 21:16 |
| Kutakizukari | wxl, how do I tell which chromium version because I don't remember? | 21:16 |
| wxl | Kutakizukari: sudo apt-cache policy chromium-browser | 21:17 |
| wxl | better yet | 21:17 |
| wxl | Kutakizukari: sudo apt-cache policy chromium-browser | grep -i installed | 21:17 |
| Kutakizukari | 14.0.835.202~r103287-0ubuntu1 | 21:18 |
| wxl | so that's good | 21:18 |
| wxl | mine runs pretty peachy keen except when loading | 21:18 |
| wxl | admittedly i have my processor throttled (virtual machine) and i have very low memory | 21:19 |
| Kutakizukari | It freezes as soon as it starts and when I ctrl-alt-delete there are two processes of chromium browser | 21:19 |
| wxl | however i can leave it loading and it doesn't use cpu | 21:19 |
| wxl | s/loading/running | 21:20 |
| Kutakizukari | when I kill the one that using all the CPU it takes out both of them | 21:20 |
| wxl | every process, tab, plugin, etc. in chrome is a separate process | 21:21 |
| wxl | hah i have four instances right now | 21:21 |
| wxl | and i'm just on a blank new tab | 21:21 |
| Kutakizukari | Apport is saying http://pastebin.com/7iPysuUQ | 21:22 |
| Kutakizukari | I have quit a few plugins | 21:22 |
| wxl | quite you mean? | 21:23 |
| wxl | it seems screen capture is your problem | 21:23 |
| Kutakizukari | yes quite a few | 21:23 |
| Kutakizukari | delete it? | 21:23 |
| Kutakizukari | the screen_capture.so? | 21:24 |
| wxl | hold | 21:25 |
| wxl | $ chromium-browser --incognito | 21:25 |
| wxl | that should go into "safe mode" | 21:25 |
| wxl | from there you can disable screen capture | 21:26 |
| wxl | welcome to the wonderful world of plugins by the way | 21:26 |
| Kutakizukari | wxl, running chromium-browser --incognito freezes still and returns this http://pastebin.com/5467nuaL in the terminal. | 21:32 |
| Kutakizukari | though task manager shows chromium browser using 0% | 21:32 |
| wxl | that's weird about the permissions | 21:34 |
| wxl | if you running it as sudo does that help? | 21:34 |
| Kutakizukari | let me try | 21:34 |
| Kutakizukari | Chromium can not be run as root. | 21:36 |
| wxl | ok so that's out | 21:36 |
| wxl | Kutakizukari: sudo apt-cache policy libcanberra0 | 21:41 |
| wxl | ah, it's probably not that actually | 21:43 |
| wxl | sounds like there's a bug that's fixed in v15 chromium | 21:43 |
| wxl | if you add proposed to your repos you can get it | 21:43 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/881607 | 21:43 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 881607 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu Oneiric) "ERROR:nss_util.cc(397)] Error initializing NSS without a persistent database: libsoftokn3.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied" [Medium,In progress] | 21:43 |
| wxl | there's also a hack: | 21:44 |
| wxl | https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91962#c31 | 21:44 |
| wxl | actually i failed to do my daily check on what's new and lo and behold, there's v15 chromium | 21:51 |
| wxl | (out of proposed) | 21:51 |
| wxl | Kutakizukari: you can add proposed in software sources on the updates tab | 21:52 |
| Kutakizukari | check the pre-released or unsupported? | 21:59 |
| wxl | it's testing for -updates | 22:01 |
| wxl | oh wait you're asking me a practical not a philosophical question | 22:01 |
| wxl | pre-released is what you want | 22:02 |
| wxl | (see proposed in parentheses?) | 22:02 |
| draioch | when installing deb package cant get past admin rights password, as dont remember making one using lubuntu 11.04 could anyone help pls | 22:09 |
| wxl | it's you draioch | 22:09 |
| draioch | hi wxl | 22:10 |
| wxl | no i mean your user is the admin | 22:10 |
| draioch | yea i tried me username pass | 22:10 |
| draioch | screen just flashes thats it | 22:11 |
| wxl | do you have the same problem trying to load synaptic? | 22:11 |
| draioch | think i did yea that why not installed | 22:12 |
| wxl | gdebi would be doing the same thing synaptic does when asking for authentication | 22:13 |
| wxl | if you can load synaptic, then you should have no problem using the same credentials with gdebi | 22:13 |
| wxl | or any other thing that uses sudo or gksudo | 22:13 |
| wxl | unless something else is to blame | 22:14 |
| draioch | ok maybe i should just do a fresh install of latest lubuntu | 22:14 |
| draioch | took me a long time tho the last time done a minimal install as using old p4 pc | 22:15 |
| wxl | so yes or no: can you (right now) load synaptic? | 22:15 |
| draioch | wait sorry | 22:15 |
| draioch | installing now | 22:16 |
| wxl | installing? so you didn't have it? | 22:17 |
| wxl | how are you installing it, apt-get? | 22:17 |
| draioch | yea | 22:17 |
| draioch | its asking for admin pass | 22:17 |
| wxl | sudo apt-get, right? | 22:17 |
| draioch | yea | 22:17 |
| wxl | and did you succeed in giving sudo your password? | 22:17 |
| draioch | no cant get past it | 22:18 |
| draioch | it wont take any of the 2 usernames i would have used | 22:18 |
| wxl | sudo doesn't need a username | 22:18 |
| wxl | it's like this: | 22:18 |
| wxl | $ sudo command | 22:18 |
| wxl | password: | 22:18 |
| wxl | not: | 22:18 |
| wxl | $ sudo command | 22:18 |
| wxl | user: | 22:18 |
| wxl | password: | 22:18 |
| draioch | yea i got past sudo and "[sudo] password for rabc: " and everything was ok then the admin passoword thing comes up | 22:20 |
| wxl | that's bizarre | 22:23 |
| wxl | try doing sudo ls | 22:24 |
| wxl | you can do any command as sudo | 22:24 |
| KM0201 | if he's accidentally removed himself from sudo groups, he might need to boot recovery to fix this. | 22:24 |
| draioch | sudo ls works | 22:25 |
| draioch | maybe a reinstall would be easier was gonna do latest lubuntu minimal install anyways, any good links wiki on that | 22:26 |
| draioch | it took me a couple of days the last time, did it get any easier the minimal install since the last lubuntu 11.04 | 22:27 |
| wxl | try this one: | 22:30 |
| wxl | cat /etc/sudoers | grep ALL | 22:30 |
| wxl | aw hell nevermind | 22:31 |
| wxl | you have to be root :/ | 22:31 |
| wxl | i betcha that's it tho | 22:32 |
| draioch | no worries but i really appreciate u trying wxl think ill just reinstall sometime | 22:33 |
| wxl | KM0201's solution is a goood one draioch | 22:36 |
| wxl | and one you can probably do with your existing install | 22:36 |
| wxl | although i can symphathize with the ned to want to fix an install | 22:36 |
| draioch | yea ill look into that wxl and thx again | 22:37 |
| wxl | np | 22:38 |
| goliat | Hello. I have a question about getting JDK 7. I have found openjdk-7-jdk in the package manager but is it any diffrent from downloading the real jdk 7 from oracle.com? | 22:46 |
| brother- | goliat: yes. | 22:49 |
| wxl | hahahahah | 22:50 |
| wxl | somehow i suspect that's not the whole question | 22:50 |
| goliat | wxl: Well a followup would be what would be the best to get. openjkd7 or jdk7? | 22:51 |
| wxl | what are you using it for goliat ? | 22:52 |
| wxl | (don't say java) | 22:52 |
| goliat | i would use it for programming, with eclipse probably | 22:52 |
| wxl | ahhh | 22:52 |
| wxl | from what i understand you need to go through some machinations to get eclipse to work with openjdk | 22:53 |
| wxl | that may be outdated information | 22:53 |
| wxl | if it were me (i prefer open/free) i'd go for openjdk and if it doesn't work, use the real one | 22:54 |
| wxl | in fact you can install both even and use the java command to change versions | 22:54 |
| wxl | so conceptually you could have openjdk be the default and have a script for eclipse that changes version, loads eclipse, and changes version back upon exit | 22:55 |
| wxl | but that may be more b.s. than you want to do ;) | 22:55 |
| goliat | actually i think that i can install jdk7 and select it in eclipse. I wouldn't need to bother changing either. | 22:56 |
| wxl | aw there you go didn't know that was an option | 22:56 |
| wxl | with that in mind, i would definitely install both | 22:56 |
| goliat | Yeah :) | 22:56 |
| goliat | Can always uninstall them :P | 22:57 |
| wxl | make jk7 your default, but when you're programming ensure compatibility with openjdk7 | 22:57 |
| wxl | yeps | 22:57 |
| wxl | (your users will thank you) | 22:57 |
| goliat | thanks for the help wxl :) | 22:58 |
| wxl | no prob man | 22:58 |
