| helpplz | How do you make a application in lubuntu execute as program, right clicking gives no option... | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| w30 | helpplz, left click on it | 00:07 |
| w30 | helpplz, what program? | 00:08 |
| helpplz | that opens the file? | 00:08 |
| helpplz | it's minecraft | 00:08 |
| helpplz | I have java | 00:08 |
| helpplz | just have to make it excutable as a program | 00:08 |
| helpplz | so I can play it | 00:08 |
| w30 | open a terminal and issue the command "sudo chmod -R ugoa+x /path/program" | 00:10 |
| w30 | helpplz, or if just a file leave off the -R | 00:10 |
| helpplz | chmod cannot access | 00:11 |
| helpplz | error | 00:11 |
| w30 | What's the location of the file? | 00:12 |
| helpplz | home | 00:13 |
| helpplz | paradox | 00:13 |
| helpplz | downloads | 00:13 |
| helpplz | minecraft.jar | 00:13 |
| helpplz | any ideas? | 00:15 |
| w30 | chmod ugoa+x ~/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar | 00:15 |
| helpplz | says | 00:16 |
| w30 | helpplz, is it Downloads or downloads | 00:16 |
| helpplz | sec | 00:16 |
| helpplz | Downloads | 00:16 |
| helpplz | doesn't work | 00:16 |
| helpplz | says command not found | 00:16 |
| w30 | leave off the sudo if you own the file | 00:17 |
| helpplz | k | 00:17 |
| helpplz | I didn't put sudo | 00:17 |
| helpplz | though | 00:17 |
| helpplz | they should've just added the option with a right click | 00:18 |
| helpplz | :/ | 00:18 |
| w30 | ls -la should list you as the owner and group | 00:18 |
| helpplz | Do I type that in? | 00:18 |
| w30 | helpplz, if you got it done it will appear green in the terminal | 00:19 |
| helpplz | it didn't work | 00:19 |
| helpplz | keep getting errors | 00:19 |
| w30 | ls -la is a more informative version of ls or dir | 00:19 |
| helpplz | when I typed in ls -la I just got a lot of information | 00:20 |
| w30 | what error? | 00:20 |
| helpplz | I didn't get a error whenI typed in ls -la, but I did with the other commands, it would say that the command wasn't found | 00:20 |
| w30 | chmod | 00:21 |
| helpplz | paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ ugo+x ~/paradox/downloads/minecraft.jar ugo+x: command not found paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ | 00:21 |
| helpplz | any ideas? | 00:22 |
| w30 | chmod ugoa+x ~/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar | 00:23 |
| helpplz | chmod: cannot access ‘/home/paradox/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar’: No such file or directory paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ | 00:23 |
| w30 | ugoa+x is not a command, that is instructions for the chmod command | 00:23 |
| helpplz | this is complicated | 00:24 |
| helpplz | :/ | 00:24 |
| w30 | cd to the folder (directory) of the minecraft.jar and just chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar | 00:25 |
| helpplz | what do you mean? | 00:25 |
| w30 | not complicated jus exacting | 00:25 |
| helpplz | trying | 00:26 |
| helpplz | hold on | 00:26 |
| helpplz | Error, these no simple way to make file execute as a program? | 00:27 |
| w30 | cd /home/Downloads/paradox/minecraft.jar (is that where it is?) | 00:27 |
| helpplz | home paradox Downloads minecraft.jar | 00:27 |
| w30 | then go there | 00:28 |
| w30 | cd /home/paradox/Downloads/ | 00:29 |
| helpplz | so chmod ugo+x and that place right | 00:29 |
| helpplz | because that doesn't work | 00:29 |
| w30 | chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar | 00:30 |
| helpplz | then the location of the file after the .jar | 00:30 |
| helpplz | right | 00:30 |
| w30 | after you get in the Downloads folder | 00:30 |
| helpplz | paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ cd /home/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar bash: cd: /home/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar: Not a directory paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ | 00:31 |
| w30 | if you are in the Downloads folder then you can assume chmod knows the file is right there. | 00:32 |
| helpplz | isn't letting me get to the folder | 00:32 |
| helpplz | I typed command as you typed it | 00:32 |
| w30 | no helpplz , you don't cd into a file only directories | 00:32 |
| helpplz | so exactly what do I type | 00:33 |
| helpplz | to get to downloads | 00:33 |
| w30 | cd /home/paradox/Downloads | 00:33 |
| helpplz | ok got it | 00:34 |
| helpplz | now what | 00:34 |
| w30 | capital D or lowercase d ? | 00:34 |
| helpplz | Capital | 00:34 |
| w30 | chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar | 00:34 |
| helpplz | I'm not sure if it worked | 00:35 |
| helpplz | I got this | 00:35 |
| helpplz | paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~/Downloads$ chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~/Downloads$ | 00:35 |
| w30 | is it green | 00:35 |
| helpplz | in the terminal? | 00:36 |
| w30 | ls | 00:36 |
| helpplz | yes | 00:36 |
| helpplz | it's green | 00:36 |
| helpplz | that means it worked? | 00:36 |
| w30 | helpplz, yes ls in the folder gives green listing for minecraft.jar | 00:36 |
| helpplz | so it's executable now? | 00:37 |
| helpplz | because now I need to know how to make it open with java | 00:38 |
| w30 | I would assume your operating system knows what to execute a .jar file with. | 00:40 |
| helpplz | when I click it it tries to extract it | 00:40 |
| w30 | use your minecraft executable to execute it maybe | 00:42 |
| w30 | helpplz, I don't know. | 00:42 |
| helpplz | me either, I give up, thanks though | 00:42 |
| w30 | usually a minecraft .jar file is a part of or a variation of a game that minecraft itself uses | 00:44 |
| w30 | like one .jar is smurfs and another is the hulk, stuff like that | 00:45 |
| Unit193 | java -jar minecraft.jar see if that works. | 00:45 |
| w30 | I don't game besides solitaire | 00:46 |
| helpplz | unable to access unit | 00:47 |
| max1 | Hey Everyone | 02:14 |
| max1 | How does Lubuntu Run different from Ubuntu. I understand that is lightweight | 02:15 |
| jdale | thanks Lubuntu for a great distro | 03:40 |
| Sidney_ | hello, I have a problem with my video-card | 11:29 |
| Sidney_ | colors are in 16bits | 11:29 |
| Sidney_ | i can't watch swf videos | 11:30 |
| Sidney_ | for exemple | 11:30 |
| Sidney_ | thanks | 11:30 |
| DJS162 | Does Lubuntu have netem pre built? | 13:08 |

| Eyeos | I've got a quick and fairly stupid question, I'm new to linux and for the most part I'm used to using windows installers for installing applications but I know it's not the case for lubuntu. So my question is what is the easiest way to install .rpm and .tar.gz files, and also how do I get them to show up in the start menu? | 14:33 |
| Unit193 | You generally don't, you use the software repos. | 14:35 |
| Unit193 | !software | 14:35 |
| ubottu | A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 14:35 |
| Eyeos | as in software repository? | 14:37 |
| Unit193 | Yep. | 14:37 |
| Eyeos | thank you | 14:39 |
| DJS162 | Since it's been a while since I've asked and there's more people now, I was wondering if Lubuntu had NetEm built in? | 15:00 |
| Unit193 | iproute: /sbin/tc and that is installed by default... | 15:12 |

| IAmNotARobot | how to change keyboard layout?? | 16:31 |
| Unit193 | There should be a tool, lxkeymap. | 16:33 |
| IAmNotARobot | ok | 16:33 |
| ARM9 | any other nice live distros that still fit on a CD? seems to be a rare breed these days | 16:50 |
| phillw | DSL and puppy should both be CD sized, other than that I only know of lubuntu :) | 16:54 |
| ARM9 | Dsl is pretty dated though init? been meaning to check out puppy | 16:55 |
| phillw | ARM9: have a look at the list at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers#LXDE_elsewhere As they are based on lxde, there is a chance some of them are CD sized (LXLE I know is not). | 16:56 |
| Unit193 | SliTaz and AntiX are the lightweight ones I like, much more so the latter. (That is, if you want live, Debian is nice as well and I find siduction isn't bad in theory.) | 16:57 |
| Unit193 | ARM9: But you actually need CD sized? | 17:00 |
| ARM9 | not necessarily | 17:00 |
| ARM9 | but the thing is I found an old CD spindle at the bottom of a drawer and thought I might as well use it for something | 17:00 |
| ARM9 | instead of just throwing it in the garbage | 17:01 |
| yggdrasil | yo yo, can somone give me a hand | 19:07 |
| yggdrasil | i have an old sony and when i boot off the live cd the x server jsut seems to have a hard time. | 19:07 |
| yggdrasil | it flashes on and then back to terminal. | 19:07 |
| yggdrasil | i tried nomode boot and that didnt work either. | 19:07 |
| yggdrasil | ill try the alternative | 19:11 |
| phillw | yggdrasil: on an old machine, alternate i386 is always a safer bet. Make sure you run the self-check before trying to install! | 20:26 |
| yggdrasil | phillw: yea that got it dialed in. | 21:00 |
| yggdrasil | works good | 21:00 |
| phillw | yggdrasil: it's why we are the only member of the family who still offer an alternate :) | 21:04 |
