franktmorganHi!  Can someone help me get Java working on my "Raring Ringtail" system?02:04
franktmorganI've posted my concern at the bottom of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2161996 , but I still haven't gotten a response yet.02:06
franktmorganAnybody?  =)02:07
LuvLinuxOScan anyone point me in the right direction to finding a solution for large icons on the program menu?02:07
LuvLinuxOSthanks02:07
LuvLinuxOSfranktmorgan: what jdk are you trying to install ? open or oracle?02:08
franktmorganI started out with OpenJDK, but I'm not sure anymore that it's reliable.  Just tonight I thought I'd go with Oracle, but if I can get OpenJDK working, I'd settle for that.02:09
Captain_PhilMy Menu://applications/ window never loads, just says it is loading and never finishes02:09
Captain_PhilAnyone have any idea what that is about?02:09
franktmorganI dunno.02:10
LuvLinuxOSlook here franktmorgan: http://thismagpie.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-eclipse-juno-42-on-lubuntu.html02:11
franktmorganThanks.02:11
LuvLinuxOSyou welcome02:11
LuvLinuxOSyou will have to purge the open jdk though02:12
franktmorganAlready did that.  Went to Synaptic and completely removed all eight of my OpenJDK packages.02:13
franktmorganSo, Eclipse Juno 4.2 will enable me to use Java online?  I was having problems with that.02:14

amcsi_workhi11:26
amcsi_workwhy is it that Lubuntu is one of the lowest PC requirement Ubuntu-bases distros, but Windows 98 still has a lower requirement by far? (16MB of RAM)11:30
amcsi_worknow really11:32
tsimpsonand MS DOS is has even lower requirements, doesn't even require a 32bit processor12:31
tsimpsonbut, is it actually useful today?12:31
amcsi_worktsimpson, no, but Windows 98 is12:32
waykool99i just heard in Ubuntu IRC,  Lubuntu might be a good replacement for U Studio v10.04.3 LTS 64 bit?12:32
tsimpsonamcsi_work: really? you can install modern web browsers and office suites on it?12:33
amcsi_workI mean, it has a full gui and everything12:33
waykool99i'm an internet DJ -and- do tons of intense audio production w/Recording studio stuff12:33
amcsi_worktsimpson, that may not have been the case since about 3 years ago.12:34
tsimpsonamcsi_work: the base OS doesn't need many resources, what people actually use their systems for does12:34
waykool99like idjc.sourceforge.net,  spend about 30 hours a week in Audacity, Sound Converter, Ardour gtk etc etc w/Gnome 2.12:35
waykool99might Lubuntu be a good alternative? (since my ubuntu studio v10.04.3 LTS 64 bit started a hairline crack, unrepairable)12:36
waykool99*DVD r12:36
amcsi_worktsimpson, I've compared win98 and Damn Small Linux on the same P3 800MHz computer before and browsing the internet was still a lot faster on Windows 98. I just don't get it how Windows 98 is faster even though it can seemingly do more than Damn Small Linux does.12:37
amcsi_workI do know for a fact though that Win98 is very buggy. Would thta be the sole trade-off?12:37
tsimpsonit's probably faster because the browser is so dumb12:37
waykool99have DSL CD R's. i love it, but studio programs wont work in it :(12:37
amcsi_worktsimpson, no. I was using the latest Opera at that time while DSL was using an old Firefox 212:38
tsimpsonI've no idea then, I haven't used '98 in over a decade12:39
waykool99i've tried Desktop, Kubuntu. DSL, xyzUbuntu bla bla.  none compares to Studio12:39
waykool99wish Knoppix v7.0 worked. but Klaus Knopper doesn't recommend installing it12:39
amcsi_work:/12:40
waykool99i'd kill for a download ISO of studio v10.04.3 LTS 64 bit  :(12:41
waykool99its about 1.7 GB ISO12:41
waykool99my DVD-R started with a small crack. in a couple weeks, crack spread to the outer edge12:43
waykool99tried "dvdisaster" for 2 hours. couldn't recover the DVD12:44
user8930What's wrong with the desktop in 13.04?  It won't allow me to drag icons to the desktop from /usr/share/applications.15:14
user8930I should be able to drag n drop .desktop files but it's refusing.15:14
user8930why do they keep botching the desktop...why?15:15
user8930I can only drag a maximum of 12 icons then it refuses any more.15:21
user8930i'll logout and see if it refreshes the desktop.  brb15:22
user8930Re-arranging the desktop icons seems to have fixed the problem15:29
user8930Still a bug though, when you drag a bunch of icons onto the desktop it suddenly refuses to accept more until you re-arrange the desktop.  Now i'm getting "flying" desktop icons, a ghost icon moves across the screen15:32
user8930Drag 20 or 30 icons onto the desktop and see what i mean15:33
user8930happy bug fixing15:35
