[09:49] <Jigar_> hi guys
[10:05] <boingboing> hi jigar
[13:04] <yeehi> Hello - I want to know about updating a laptop hard drive to SSD
[13:05] <yeehi> I currently have a SATA HDD - I want to know if I can upgrade it to a SATA III SSD...
[13:05] <yeehi> How do i find out if my laptop can handle that?
[13:06] <yeehi> Hello nothingspecial :)
[13:06] <nothingspecial> hello yeehi
[13:06] <yeehi> Good to see you nothing special :)
[13:07] <yeehi> You know everything!
[13:07] <nothingspecial> you too yeehi
[13:07] <yeehi> so, how do I find out about upgrading my drive?
[13:07] <nothingspecial> I suppose you need to go to the manufactures website
[13:07] <yeehi> I did that already - and also phoned their technical support - it wasn't inspiring
[13:07] <yeehi> or helpful really
[13:08] <yeehi> May I send you a link?
[13:08] <nothingspecial> Then I'm not sure, unless you can find a page somewhere describing someone doing it
[16:00] <mewt> when i ty to run a desktop launcher i get "[Desktop: command not found". I'm sure my problem is simple, but google isnt helping :( anyone know the answer?
[16:40] <holstein> mewt: 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?
[16:41] <mewt> ive slowly realized that i made the .desktop file executable holstein, in an effort to get it to run
[16:42] <mewt> when i double clicked it nothing happened
[16:44] <holstein> mewt: i would check the command in the terminal.. see that the command to run the application works, and is correct
[16:44] <mewt> the script works fine alone
[16:45] <holstein> what script?
[16:45] <mewt> it's just that the launcher does nothing, even if connected to the script
[16:45] <mewt> http://pastebin.com/UdDwRAVg
[16:48] <holstein> mewt: if it works in the terminal, you could just run it as a terminal application
[16:48] <holstein> i have not made a java shortcut like that
[16:49] <mewt> ah, im trying to make a nice little desktop icon for my little brother
[16:50] <holstein> mewt: you are using unity? i assuming you have tried using the GUI ?
[16:50] <mewt> ah no im not
[16:51] <mewt> but xubuntu is hitting a wall it seems
[16:51] <mewt> #xubuntu
[16:51] <rfernandes> my laptop does not come back from suspend mode
[16:52] <holstein> rfernandes: i would just not suspend it personally... i dont think its worth the hassle assuming the sleep works
[16:52] <holstein> retruning from suspend and a cold boot are similar in time in my experiences
[16:53] <holstein> rfernandes: you can try different kernels, and file bugs.. trying the mainline kernels can be helpful
[16:54] <holstein> mewt: cool.. i didnt notice you were cross posting.. ill let recon_lap help you in #xubuntu
[16:54] <rfernandes> holstein: have you got the same bug?
[16:54] <mewt> is cross posting a faux pas
[16:55] <holstein> rfernandes: 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 help
[16:55] <rfernandes> holstein: ok. thanks!
[16:55] <holstein> mewt: 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 it
[16:56] <mewt> i see
[16:56] <holstein> rfernandes: 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 space
[16:59] <rfernandes> holstein: i do believe it is some kind of incompatibility; i shall report it, anyway
