| holstein | freakingmartin: so, you have a jar file that you want to run with java? not open? | 01:02 |
| freakingmartin | yes that's exactly what I meant | 01:02 |
| holstein | should be java -jar filename.jar | 01:02 |
| holstein | from a terminal | 01:03 |
| freakingmartin | I don't want to do it from terminal | 01:03 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: ok | 01:06 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: i only know how to do it from the terminal.. you can create a launcher for it to start i you lke | 01:06 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: i'll let you wait on another volunteer.. cheers | 01:06 |
| freakingmartin | cheers | 01:06 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: here is *exactly* your query, and *exactly* my answer | 01:07 |
| holstein | http://www.overclock.net/t/904687/how-to-run-jar-files-on-ubuntu | 01:07 |
| freakingmartin | lol that page only answered how to install java, which i already have | 01:08 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: java -jar FILE.jar ,friend | 01:08 |
| holstein | as i suggested | 01:09 |
| freakingmartin | i got it... | 01:09 |
| freakingmartin | thanks | 01:09 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: post 3 is where it is suggested, after the "install java" suggestion. and post 4 is the "thanks" answer | 01:09 |
| holstein | !volunteers | freakingmartin | 01:09 |
| ubottu | freakingmartin: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 01:09 |
| holstein | though, i have an answer | 01:09 |
| freakingmartin | You're the expert. | 01:10 |
| holstein | i never said that | 01:10 |
| freakingmartin | I never said you did. | 01:10 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: cool.. enjoy, friend! | 01:10 |
| freakingmartin | how do i make a desktop configuration file open minecraft.jar? | 01:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Set the shortcut to execute it using Java (you DO have OpenJDK or Oracle Java, right?) | 01:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | As in set the command [ java -jar /path/to/jar/file.jar ] | 01:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Other than that, set it up like an ordinary .desktop file. | 01:37 |
| freakingmartin | I have OpenJDK but when I try to choose an application to run my short cut using OpenJDK, OpenJDK 7 is not listen in installed application. Maybe i can use a custom command line? | 01:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: One second... | 01:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: OK, given that OpenJDK is set as your JRE (through either update-alternatives in a terminal, or through a MIME type editor) OpenJDK should interpret the [ java -jar ] command as the execution of a JAR file. | 01:40 |
| freakingmartin | what is my best option | 01:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You know how to create a .desktop file, right? | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (If not, I can show you) | 01:41 |
| freakingmartin | I dont think so | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 1: Open up a text editor (Leafpad in Lubuntu, I think) | 01:41 |
| freakingmartin | done | 01:42 |
| freakingmartin | Next step? | 01:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 2: Gimme a second... :) | 01:42 |
| freakingmartin | lol okay :) | 01:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 2B: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5882747/ <<< Copy the template I wrote up into your file | 01:44 |
| freakingmartin | Done | 01:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 3: Set your Name and GenericName to Minecraft (or whatever) | 01:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (by typing it after the = sign) | 01:45 |
| freakingmartin | do i put a space after the = sign? | 01:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | No | 01:46 |
| freakingmartin | ok | 01:46 |
| freakingmartin | done | 01:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 4: Set your Exec to "java -jar /path/to/your/jar/file.jar" (without the quotes, substituting in for the actual path to the .jar file) | 01:47 |
| freakingmartin | done | 01:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 5 (optional): Set a comment for your .desktop file (it will appear in a tool tip on mouse over) | 01:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | If you don't wish to add a comment, delete the line. | 01:49 |
| freakingmartin | i added a comment | 01:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 6: We don't need to specify a filetype, so delete the "Type=" line. | 01:50 |
| freakingmartin | removed | 01:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 7 (optional): Set Terminal to true if you want to see debugging output for running the desktop command. Otherwise, leave it false. | 01:51 |
| freakingmartin | ok\ | 01:52 |
| freakingmartin | ok | 01:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 8: Set the path of the icon you want displayed on the appropriate line, unless you're fine with seeing the generic "file" icon. | 01:53 |
| freakingmartin | done | 01:54 |
| freakingmartin | i set a png | 01:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | A portable net graphic should be fine :) | 01:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step 9: Set StartupNotify to true if you want to see a notification that your program started; if not, delete that line or set it to flase. | 01:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *false even | 01:55 |
| freakingmartin | line deleted | 01:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now save your file in ~/Desktop/ as <whatever>.desktop | 01:56 |
| freakingmartin | done | 01:57 |
| freakingmartin | i see my shortcut | 01:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now close the Leafpad window and double-click your now shortcut. | 01:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | s/now/new | 01:58 |
| freakingmartin | nothing happen | 01:58 |
| freakingmartin | teamviewer maybe? | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Nothing happened? Hmm... Try executing your .jar in a terminal: [ java -jar /path/to/your/jar/file.jar ] and pastebin whatever errors it comes up with. | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !pastebinit | 02:00 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 02:00 |
| freakingmartin | bash: [: -jar: binary operator expected | 02:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You may wish to check this article out too: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/easily-install-minecraft-in-ubuntu-via.html | 02:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | However, I dunno whether or not it will re-download the whole thing - you do run that risk. | 02:03 |
| freakingmartin | I can run minecraft jar by itself but i cant get it to open with a shortcut | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | How do you run the jar by itself usually? | 02:04 |
| freakingmartin | if i run it through terminal [ java -jar /home/martin/KeiNettLauncher.jar ] it will work... if i open jar with OpenJDK it will work | 02:05 |
| freakingmartin | I can't get my shortcut to run the jar | 02:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: Try re-opening the .desktop file and replacing "java" with "/usr/bin/java" | 02:06 |
| freakingmartin | so it should look like this right? Exec=/usr/bin/java -jar /home/martin/KeiNettLauncher.jar | 02:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yes | 02:08 |
| freakingmartin | done | 02:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now give it another shot | 02:08 |
| freakingmartin | still doesnt work. when i double click nothing happens, when i right click and open nothing happens also | 02:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hmm... the other thing I can think of is running [ chmod +x ~/Desktop/<desktopfile>.desktop ] in a terminal and trying again. | 02:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (That would give it executable permissions) | 02:10 |
| freakingmartin | i run it like this chmod +x ~/Desktop/<Minecraft>.desktop | 02:12 |
| freakingmartin | this is what it gave me bash: Minecraft: No such file or directory | 02:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: Leave out the < > (unless they're actually in the filename) :) | 02:13 |
| freakingmartin | lol ok | 02:13 |
| freakingmartin | i got this : chmod: cannot access ‘/home/martin/Desktop/Minecraft.desktop’: No such file or directory | 02:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: You *did* put it in your Desktop folder, right? | 02:15 |
| freakingmartin | yes | 02:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And it's called Minecraft.desktop (capital M and all, right)? | 02:16 |
| freakingmartin | Yes | 02:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Run [ ls ~/Desktop/ ] | 02:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (Anything in [ ] means it goes in terminal) | 02:17 |
| freakingmartin | Hold up let me check if it has .desktop | 02:17 |
| freakingmartin | now let me run [ ls ~/Desktop/ ] | 02:18 |
| freakingmartin | this is what i got "KeiNett Launcher Minecraft 1.6.1 Launcher (Mac OS X & Linux).zip | 02:19 |
| freakingmartin | Minecraft 1.6.1 Launcher.jar MInecraft.desktop | 02:19 |
| freakingmartin | " | 02:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | So it's there, but the computer is having nothing to do with it. | 02:22 |
| holstein | why not launch it from the terminal? thats what you downloaded | 02:22 |
| freakingmartin | I like to have a shortcut with a stylish icon on my desktop (like windows) | 02:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: Just for a frame of reference, pastebin the content of the .desktop file we created | 02:24 |
| freakingmartin | syntax Plain text? | 02:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah | 02:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | We don't have any HTML content we need to parse, I don't think :) | 02:26 |
| freakingmartin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5882819/ | 02:26 |
| holstein | you could use a more "windows-like" desktop environment.. that allows for making launchers more simply | 02:26 |
| freakingmartin | desktop environment | 02:27 |
| freakingmartin | i corrected every thing and now when i run "chmod +x ~/Desktop/<desktopfile>.desktop" nothing happens nether | 02:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | holstein: I thought LXDE *was* a more "Windows-like DE" | 02:29 |
| holstein | nothing in LXDE promises, "make whatever launchers you want with the click of a button" | 02:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | holstein: I beg to differ, isn't there a "Create Launcher" option in the LXDE right-click menu? | 02:30 |
| freakingmartin | i see | 02:30 |
| holstein | SonikkuAmerica: thats what freakingmartin wants | 02:30 |
| holstein | a launcher to click on for the application to start | 02:31 |
| holstein | with a pretty icon | 02:31 |
| holstein | just like in windows | 02:31 |
| freakingmartin | :3 | 02:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | holstein: There *is* alacarte, but I dunno what it depends on. | 02:31 |
| holstein | thats what i thought.. right click, create a launcher | 02:32 |
| holstein | but, i suggested that last time freakingmartin was here | 02:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One still has to point it to the right place and all | 02:32 |
| holstein | you can say "run in terminal | 02:32 |
| holstein | and run the same command | 02:32 |
| freakingmartin | i can say that | 02:33 |
| holstein | i think its a checkbox | 02:33 |
| holstein | you use java -jar filename.jar and "run in terminal" | 02:34 |
| freakingmartin | k did that | 02:36 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: enjoy! | 02:36 |
| freakingmartin | never said it worked | 02:36 |
| freakingmartin | lol | 02:36 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: ok.. just share any relevant information | 02:37 |
| freakingmartin | Ok after all this chatting, my body is tired. | 02:37 |
| freakingmartin | I shall sleep Zzzz | 02:37 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: if you use the *exact* command that works in the terminal, and launch it in the terminal from the shortcut, it should work | 02:38 |
| holstein | otherwise, share errors | 02:38 |
| holstein | or, we'll see you when you wake | 02:38 |
| freakingmartin | hold up whats the command for terminal | 02:38 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: the one that you used, that works | 02:38 |
| freakingmartin | i forgot what it waws | 02:38 |
| freakingmartin | was | 02:38 |
| holstein | java -jar filename.jar ...replacing filename with the one you have | 02:38 |
| holstein | /path/to/application.jar | 02:39 |
| holstein | java -jar /home/freakingmartin/minecraft.jar or whatever | 02:39 |
| freakingmartin | k do i check Execute in terminal emulatr | 02:40 |
| freakingmartin | emulator | 02:41 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: thats what i would do, then it will run the *exact* command that you just ran, and tested, in the terminal.. by running it, again, in a terminal.. which just worked | 02:41 |
| freakingmartin | it works in terminal, but it doesnt work when i double click on the shortcut | 02:42 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: sure.. just share how it "doesnt work" | 02:42 |
| holstein | and, double check the command you gave the shortcut | 02:42 |
| freakingmartin | i triple checked | 02:42 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: ok | 02:42 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: so, whats the error? | 02:42 |
| freakingmartin | there is no error it just does not run anything | 02:43 |
| freakingmartin | lol | 02:43 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: lol? | 02:43 |
| freakingmartin | i hate shortcuts | 02:43 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: whast funny? | 02:43 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: i dont use them | 02:43 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: paste the command here | 02:44 |
| freakingmartin | java -jar /home/martin/KeiNettLauncher.jar | 02:44 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: make a new shortcut | 02:44 |
| freakingmartin | again? | 02:44 |
| holstein | yes | 02:44 |
| holstein | if that doesnt work, then i have no idea | 02:44 |
| freakingmartin | I have an idea.. get a new computer | 02:45 |
| holstein | or, just lanuch from the terminal | 02:45 |
| freakingmartin | i think i'm done with shortcuts | 02:45 |
| holstein | thats what you downloaded | 02:45 |
| holstein | an application to launch from the terminal | 02:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | freakingmartin: One of the reasons why I only test Lubuntu and don't use it full-time :) | 02:46 |
| freakingmartin | :-* | 02:46 |
| holstein | LXDE is minimal | 02:46 |
| freakingmartin | But lubuntu is sooo fast and it runs great | 02:46 |
| freakingmartin | on my computer | 02:46 |
| holstein | its not really made for adding a lot to it like that.. though, i have added those shortcuts to XFCE no problem | 02:46 |
| holstein | freakingmartin: i personally dont see how this negates the experience you are having | 02:47 |
| holstein | its still fast | 02:47 |
| freakingmartin | may you teamviewer and remotely help me please | 02:47 |
| holstein | who is you? | 02:47 |
| holstein | this is not that kind of support | 02:47 |
| freakingmartin | any one that can help me | 02:47 |
| holstein | i would ask the maintainer of that pacakage how you are supposed to launch it | 02:48 |
| freakingmartin | i thought you were my friend :( lol jk | 02:48 |
| anne | hello, can someone help me with watchdog? I set the ping at 8.8.8.8, but watchdog reboot my sys at startup. I use a wifi key and It needs more than a minute to log in to the net | 03:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anne: How are you able to connect to the Internet if you're stuck in a bootloop? | 03:15 |
| anne | now? another pc :) on lubuntu? rewriting the distro from the beginning | 03:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anne: I would've said pastebin your [ dmesg ] output, but if you're reinstalling that's out the windows. | 03:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *only 1 window | 03:25 |
| anne | also I cant pastebin nothing, the sistem keep rebooting at startup... no time to do anything. | 03:29 |
| anne | it's something like this | 03:29 |
| anne | http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=20149 | 03:29 |
| anne | I tried adding watchdog last week, but something is broken in watchdog (On the PI only) where ping doesn't work, so you end up with a constant reboot because watchdog starts up at boot time. If you want to experiment with watchdog first edit Code: Select all sudo nano /etc/default/watchdog and tell watchdog not to start at boot. I haven't tried watchdog with the latest firmware, so not sure if the issue has been fixed, but doubt | 03:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anne: You may wish to check the bash script written out the comment by sdjf | 03:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Good evening, jono, my good sir. | 04:04 |
| jono | hi SonikkuAmerica | 04:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What brings you to our neck of the woods? | 04:06 |
| anne | mumble, 'll try thank you | 04:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That's probably a stupid question, you being the head of Ubuntu Community and all. :) I'd stay and chat more but here in the USA it's waxin' midnight (on the East Coast) So I must say goodbye! | 04:08 |

| superman_ | is there an estimate on how many people are currently using Lubuntu? | 05:01 |
| James0r | just installed Lubuntu 13.04 and liking it. i'm a new linux user and i found it pretty easy to use so far. it's simple but fast and that's what i was going for. | 06:08 |
| James0r | one thing i noticed though is that during the installation process i thought it mentioned that XChat was pre-installed but i couldn't find it once i got it going | 06:09 |
| James0r | just as easy to download via apt-get but just something i noticed | 06:10 |
| Unit193 | Nope, xchat isn't pre-installed with the system. | 06:11 |
| superman_ | hello, i'm a noob and never used Sylpheed before, can someone help me set up an account on it? thanks | 06:59 |
