holsteinmewt: what are you running? ubuntu 12.04? unity? what launcher? is it one you made? if so , how did you make it? and if not, where did it come from?16:40
mewtive slowly realized that i made the .desktop file executable holstein, in an effort to get it to run16:41
mewtwhen i double clicked it nothing happened16:42
holsteinmewt: i would check the command in the terminal.. see that the command to run the application works, and is correct16:44
mewtthe script works fine alone16:44
holsteinwhat script?16:45
mewtit's just that the launcher does nothing, even if connected to the script16:45
mewthttp://pastebin.com/UdDwRAVg16:45
holsteinmewt: if it works in the terminal, you could just run it as a terminal application16:48
holsteini have not made a java shortcut like that16:48
mewtah, im trying to make a nice little desktop icon for my little brother16:49
holsteinmewt: you are using unity? i assuming you have tried using the GUI ?16:50
mewtah no im not16:50

rfernandesmy laptop does not come back from suspend mode16:51
holsteinrfernandes: i would just not suspend it personally... i dont think its worth the hassle assuming the sleep works16:52
holsteinretruning from suspend and a cold boot are similar in time in my experiences16:52
holsteinrfernandes: you can try different kernels, and file bugs.. trying the mainline kernels can be helpful16:53
holsteinmewt: cool.. i didnt notice you were cross posting.. ill let recon_lap help you in #xubuntu16:54
rfernandesholstein: have you got the same bug?16:54
mewtis cross posting a faux pas16:54
holsteinrfernandes: i have seen that before, on several machines.. i consider it more of an incompatibility than a bug, but you test, and report, and that can help16:55
rfernandesholstein: ok. thanks!16:55
holsteinmewt: its pretty loose in the ubuntu support channels.. we're here to help, though you dont typically want to tie up to channgle if you can help it16:55
mewti see16:56
holsteinrfernandes: sometimes i just take the hard drives out and test with live CD's, so forcing the power off wont "hurt".. but you cant really do that with suspend, since is needs the swap space16:56
rfernandesholstein: i do believe it is some kind of incompatibility; i shall report it, anyway16:59
