[00:02] <helpplz> How do you make a application in lubuntu execute as program, right clicking gives no option...
[00:07] <w30> helpplz, left click on it
[00:08] <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
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <helpplz> chmod cannot access
[00:11] <helpplz> error
[00:12] <w30> What's the location of the file?
[00:13] <helpplz> home
[00:13] <helpplz> paradox
[00:13] <helpplz> downloads
[00:13] <helpplz> minecraft.jar
[00:15] <helpplz> any ideas?
[00:15] <w30> chmod  ugoa+x ~/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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?
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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:~$
[00:22] <helpplz> any ideas?
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <helpplz> this is complicated
[00:24] <helpplz> :/
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <helpplz> trying
[00:26] <helpplz> hold on
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <w30> then go there
[00:29] <w30> cd /home/paradox/Downloads/
[00:29] <helpplz> so  chmod ugo+x and that place right
[00:29] <helpplz> because that doesn't work
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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:~$
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <helpplz> so exactly what do I type
[00:33] <helpplz> to get to downloads
[00:33] <w30> cd /home/paradox/Downloads
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <helpplz> so it's executable now?
[00:38] <helpplz> because now I need to know how to make it open with java
[00:40] <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
[00:42] <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
[00:44] <w30> usually a minecraft .jar file is a part of or a variation of a game that minecraft itself uses
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <w30> I don't game besides solitaire
[00:47] <helpplz> unable to access unit
[02:14] <max1> Hey Everyone
[02:15] <max1> How does Lubuntu Run different from Ubuntu. I understand that is lightweight
[03:40] <jdale> thanks Lubuntu for a great distro
[11:29] <Sidney_> hello, I have a problem with my video-card
[11:29] <Sidney_> colors are in 16bits
[11:30] <Sidney_> i can't watch swf videos
[11:30] <Sidney_> for exemple
[11:30] <Sidney_> thanks
[13:08] <DJS162> Does Lubuntu have netem pre built?
[14:33] <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?
[14:35] <Unit193> You generally don't, you use the software repos.
[14:35] <Unit193> !software
[14:37] <Eyeos> as in software repository?
[14:37] <Unit193> Yep.
[14:39] <Eyeos> thank you
[15:00] <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?
[15:12] <Unit193> iproute: /sbin/tc  and that is installed by default...
[16:31] <IAmNotARobot> how to change keyboard layout??
[16:33] <Unit193> There should be a tool, lxkeymap.
[16:33] <IAmNotARobot> ok
[16:50] <ARM9> any other nice live distros that still fit on a CD? seems to be a rare breed these days
[16:54] <phillw> DSL and puppy should both be CD sized, other than that I only know of lubuntu :)
[16:55] <ARM9> Dsl is pretty dated though init? been meaning to check out puppy
[16:56] <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).
[16:57] <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.)
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <ARM9> instead of just throwing it in the garbage
[19:07] <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.
[19:11] <yggdrasil> ill try the alternative
[20:26] <phillw> yggdrasil: on an old machine, alternate i386 is always a safer bet. Make sure you run the self-check before trying to install!
[21:00] <yggdrasil> phillw: yea that got it dialed in.
[21:00] <yggdrasil> works good
[21:04] <phillw> yggdrasil: it's why we are the only member of the family who still offer an alternate :)
