alvasrawutherI have a problem with installing Jaikoz. Any help please?13:08
IAmNotThatGuyalvasrawuther: Hi. Could you please explain the issue?13:11
alvasrawutherI actually install it fully by through the terminal after downloading the package from the website with the instructions provided there and it does get installed but while searching for it its nowhere to be seen13:11
alvasrawuthernot in the start menu, can't get it through the launcher either13:12
IAmNotThatGuyyou mean you got soem error like cound not find the package ?13:12
alvasrawuthernope13:12
alvasrawutherit doesn't show up in the launcher to start it13:12
IAmNotThatGuySo, the installation is successful?13:12
alvasrawutheryup13:12
alvasrawutherand a folder is formed too13:12
alvasrawutherbut how do i open it?13:12
alvasrawutherstart the app?13:12
geirhaCheck the desktop13:13
alvasrawuthernot there13:13
alvasrawutherIn windows, there is an executable file to open an app, what is it in linux?13:13
alvasrawutherwhat extension?13:13
IAmNotThatGuyalvasrawuther: I think yours is similar to http://www.jthink.net/jaikozforum/posts/list/19.page13:15
IAmNotThatGuyoh! wait. I am looking at a way old link :[13:16
alvasrawutherI have this version of java13:16
alvasrawutherjava version "1.6.0_22"13:16
alvasrawutherOpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.4) (6b22-1.10.4-0ubuntu1~11.04.1)13:16
alvasrawutherOpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)13:16
alvasrawutherThere is a folder formed named Jaikoz after the installation with many files and some folders related to Jaikoz but how do I start the app?13:17
IAmNotThatGuyI believe the last comment will be the reason. You should run it first as root I believe13:17
alvasrawutherto start playing with it?13:17
alvasrawutherthe installation as root?13:17
IAmNotThatGuykindly read the last comment in the link I provided13:18
alvasrawutherok thanks a lot let me look at it13:18
alvasrawutherhow do i run it as root first time?13:19
alvasrawutheris it sudo -s and start the app?13:19
alvasrawutherwhat is the file from which to start jaikoz?13:20
IAmNotThatGuy"sudo su" and then "./Jaikoz.bin" I think13:22
alvasrawutherso almost all the app executables in linux end with .bin?13:23
bioterrorno13:27
alvasrawutherthen?13:27
bioterrorsometimes if the case is uncertain, it will be added to the end of the file name like you have now13:27
bioterrorbut mostly binaries are in /bin;/usr/bin;/usr/local/bin13:28
alvasrawutherso all apps can be opened from their respective binary files after installation?13:29
geirhaExtensions on executables is a bad habit that commercial software developers seem to love.13:30
alvasrawutherso how do i understand how to execute an app?13:31
alvasrawutheralso i can't find jaikoz.bin anywhere?13:32
alvasrawutherhow do i execute the app now?13:32
alvasrawutherhelp please13:32
alvasrawuther:)13:32
geirhaDepends on where it was installed13:32
alvasrawutheri installed it in /usr/local/jaikoz13:33
alvasrawutherin the file system13:33
geirhaOk, then list the files in that directory with the ls command.   ls /usr/local/jaikoz13:35
alvasrawutherok...just a sec13:35

geirhaOuch, in the future, don't paste multiple lines in the channel, use a pastebin plese.13:37
alvasrawutheroh sorry13:37
alvasrawutherneed i do that now?13:38
geirhaLooks like jaikoz.sh is the command you're supposed to run, so try   /usr/local/jaikoz/jaikoz.sh13:38
geirhaNo, you've already pasted it now. Just use a pastebin next time you need to paste something long.13:39
alvasrawutherit started up but there isn't a shortcut formed anywhere?13:41
alvasrawutherand i'll try to keep things clean next time13:41
alvasrawutherthanks13:41
alvasrawuther:)13:41
alvasrawuthershortcut?13:42
geirhaWell, you could just make one yourself.13:43
alvasrawutherhow?13:44
alvasrawutherfor jaikoz.sh?13:44
geirhaRight-click on desktop and choose create launcher.  Type in    /usr/local/jaikoz/jaikoz.sh   as the command.13:44
alvasrawutheroh thanks a lot!13:44
alvasrawutherbtw are all ubuntu apps installed via the terminal?13:44
geirhaYou can probably use the jaikoz.gif as the icon for the launcher.13:45
alvasrawutherthanks again!13:45
geirhaalvasrawuther: No, you generally install software via the software center.13:45
alvasrawutherand for the others?13:45
alvasrawutherTHE TERMINAL. Right?13:45
geirhaalvasrawuther: The software you've install appears to be very amateurish packaged.13:45
alvasrawutheryeah, actually it was first made for windows and then for linux13:47
alvasrawutherSo is it that the programs which are packaged the well do not need to be run by the terminal?13:47
alvasrawutherthey install when you double click on them?13:48
geirhaYeah, the way it is packaged looks very "windowsy", they don't appear to know linux well. So that's why it's cumbersome to install in Ubuntu.13:48
alvasrawutherYAY!13:48
alvasrawutherso that means i won't have too many problems with Ubuntu software now13:48
alvasrawutheror any problems at all!13:48
alvasrawutherthanks a lot!13:48
geirhaalvasrawuther: For software in general, just open the software center, search for what you want and click install.13:48
alvasrawutherthanks geirha and everyone else who helped me get through this!13:49
alvasrawuthercya!13:49
