[00:02] How do you make a application in lubuntu execute as program, right clicking gives no option... [00:07] helpplz, left click on it [00:08] helpplz, what program? [00:08] that opens the file? [00:08] it's minecraft [00:08] I have java [00:08] just have to make it excutable as a program [00:08] so I can play it [00:10] open a terminal and issue the command "sudo chmod -R ugoa+x /path/program" [00:10] helpplz, or if just a file leave off the -R [00:11] chmod cannot access [00:11] error [00:12] What's the location of the file? [00:13] home [00:13] paradox [00:13] downloads [00:13] minecraft.jar [00:15] any ideas? [00:15] chmod ugoa+x ~/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar [00:16] says [00:16] helpplz, is it Downloads or downloads [00:16] sec [00:16] Downloads [00:16] doesn't work [00:16] says command not found [00:17] leave off the sudo if you own the file [00:17] k [00:17] I didn't put sudo [00:17] though [00:18] they should've just added the option with a right click [00:18] :/ [00:18] ls -la should list you as the owner and group [00:18] Do I type that in? [00:19] helpplz, if you got it done it will appear green in the terminal [00:19] it didn't work [00:19] keep getting errors [00:19] ls -la is a more informative version of ls or dir [00:20] when I typed in ls -la I just got a lot of information [00:20] what error? [00:20] 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] chmod [00:21] 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] any ideas? [00:23] chmod ugoa+x ~/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar [00:23] chmod: cannot access ‘/home/paradox/paradox/Downloads/minecraft.jar’: No such file or directory paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ [00:23] ugoa+x is not a command, that is instructions for the chmod command [00:24] this is complicated [00:24] :/ [00:25] cd to the folder (directory) of the minecraft.jar and just chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar [00:25] what do you mean? [00:25] not complicated jus exacting [00:26] trying [00:26] hold on [00:27] Error, these no simple way to make file execute as a program? [00:27] cd /home/Downloads/paradox/minecraft.jar (is that where it is?) [00:27] home paradox Downloads minecraft.jar [00:28] then go there [00:29] cd /home/paradox/Downloads/ [00:29] so chmod ugo+x and that place right [00:29] because that doesn't work [00:30] chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar [00:30] then the location of the file after the .jar [00:30] right [00:30] after you get in the Downloads folder [00:31] 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] if you are in the Downloads folder then you can assume chmod knows the file is right there. [00:32] isn't letting me get to the folder [00:32] I typed command as you typed it [00:32] no helpplz , you don't cd into a file only directories [00:33] so exactly what do I type [00:33] to get to downloads [00:33] cd /home/paradox/Downloads [00:34] ok got it [00:34] now what [00:34] capital D or lowercase d ? [00:34] Capital [00:34] chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar [00:35] I'm not sure if it worked [00:35] I got this [00:35] paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~/Downloads$ chmod ugoa+x minecraft.jar paradox@paradox-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~/Downloads$ [00:35] is it green [00:36] in the terminal? [00:36] ls [00:36] yes [00:36] it's green [00:36] that means it worked? [00:36] helpplz, yes ls in the folder gives green listing for minecraft.jar [00:37] so it's executable now? [00:38] because now I need to know how to make it open with java [00:40] I would assume your operating system knows what to execute a .jar file with. [00:40] when I click it it tries to extract it [00:42] use your minecraft executable to execute it maybe [00:42] helpplz, I don't know. [00:42] me either, I give up, thanks though [00:44] usually a minecraft .jar file is a part of or a variation of a game that minecraft itself uses [00:45] like one .jar is smurfs and another is the hulk, stuff like that [00:45] java -jar minecraft.jar see if that works. [00:46] I don't game besides solitaire [00:47] unable to access unit [02:14] Hey Everyone [02:15] How does Lubuntu Run different from Ubuntu. I understand that is lightweight [03:40] thanks Lubuntu for a great distro [11:29] hello, I have a problem with my video-card [11:29] colors are in 16bits [11:30] i can't watch swf videos [11:30] for exemple [11:30] thanks [13:08] Does Lubuntu have netem pre built? === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [14:33] 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] You generally don't, you use the software repos. [14:35] !software [14:35] 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 [14:37] as in software repository? [14:37] Yep. [14:39] thank you [15:00] 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] iproute: /sbin/tc and that is installed by default... === ubott2 is now known as ubottu === ubottu is now known as 17SAC2T0E === 17SAC2T0E is now known as ubottu === ubottu is now known as 17SAC2T0E === 17SAC2T0E is now known as ubottu === ubottu is now known as 17SAC2T0E === 17SAC2T0E is now known as ubottu [16:31] how to change keyboard layout?? [16:33] There should be a tool, lxkeymap. [16:33] ok [16:50] any other nice live distros that still fit on a CD? seems to be a rare breed these days [16:54] DSL and puppy should both be CD sized, other than that I only know of lubuntu :) [16:55] Dsl is pretty dated though init? been meaning to check out puppy [16:56] 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] 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] ARM9: But you actually need CD sized? [17:00] not necessarily [17:00] 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] instead of just throwing it in the garbage [19:07] yo yo, can somone give me a hand [19:07] 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] it flashes on and then back to terminal. [19:07] i tried nomode boot and that didnt work either. [19:11] ill try the alternative [20:26] 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] phillw: yea that got it dialed in. [21:00] works good [21:04] yggdrasil: it's why we are the only member of the family who still offer an alternate :)
