[10:17] <cydd_> hi
[10:33] <darkxst> cydd_, hi
[10:33] <darkxst> !ask
[10:35] <cydd_> need help with permissions trying to execute file but no option to
[10:36] <darkxst> cydd_, what file?
[10:36] <cydd_> a jar file
[10:36] <darkxst> chmod +x <file> ?
[10:36]  * darkxst runs from java!
[10:39] <cydd_> in properties under permissions tab excute  file option not there ?
[10:40] <darkxst> cydd_, use the terminal
[10:41] <cydd_> ok
[10:51] <cydd_> ok how?
[10:53] <darkxst> cydd_, <darkxst> chmod +x <file> ?
[11:12] <cydd_> keeps saying no such file or directory
[11:14] <mgedmin> making a jar file executable won't help anything (I just tried)
[11:14] <mgedmin> you need to run it with 'java -jar ...'
[11:29] <JockeTF> I can run executable jar files with Nautilus just fine.
[11:29] <JockeTF> cydd_: If it says "no such file or directory" for chmod you need to switch directory to where the jar file is located.
[11:30] <cydd_> ok
[11:30] <JockeTF> Then run the command again. :)
[11:32] <JockeTF> cydd_: Running "java -jar myfile.jar" should also work when you've changed directory.
[11:35] <JockeTF> But after running chmod you may be able to run it by double clicking on it or right clicking and "open with (-->) Java Runtime".
[11:36] <mgedmin> oh, interesting!  I didn't know that nautilus checks for the execute bit before launching jars with the jre
[11:36] <mgedmin> (I tried ./foo.jar from shell and got an error, even after enabling the execute bit)
[11:38] <JockeTF> mgedmin: Yeah, you get a little dialog if it's not +x.
[16:20] <octoquad> darkxst, I haven't forgotten about the evolution task, will look at it as soon as I can.
[16:20]  * octoquad is like HexChat better than XChat
[16:20] <octoquad> *liking tsk tsk
