| ShadowZ | i need help regarding ethernet | 11:19 |
| Kiicki | I just installed Lubuntu and I'm using Minecraft as a testing game but for some reason I can't open the game with Java. I installed Java Oracle 8 which haven't had any issues with Ubuntu but I can't seem to find the software when I try to open the game | 13:01 |
| Kiicki | I got Java 6,7 and 8 now and I still don't have the option to open a JAR file with java | 13:47 |
| leszek | Kiicki: just add java -jar manually in open with | 13:51 |
| Kiicki | problem is that it's not there | 13:52 |
| Kiicki | it is there in ubuntu but not in lubuntu for some reason | 13:52 |
| Kiicki | Like I got "Oracle Java 8 Web start" "Oracle Java 8 mission control" "Oracle Java 8 console" "Oracle java 8 visualVM" "Oracle java 8 plugin control panel" "oracle java 8 policy tool" | 13:54 |
| Kiicki | but not the actual Java that I need to open the game | 13:54 |
| Kiicki | non of those worked | 13:54 |
| leszek | Kiicki: not sure I don't install proprietary stuff usually | 13:59 |
| Kiicki | I don't get it though. Lubuntu is based on ubuntu but I never had this problem in ubuntu. It's like I cannot open Jar files in Lubuntu | 14:00 |
| xenial | hi? | 14:19 |
| leszek | Kiicki: I have something like that in my /usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-java.desktop to open jar files with: https://pastebin.com/ERPTL31U | 14:37 |
| leszek | Kiicki: usually this should come with the java package. Though maybe oracle does not ship it and only openjdk does | 14:37 |
| leszek | though it would not explain why it appears on ubuntu but not lubuntu | 14:38 |
| leszek | maybe lubuntu did not refresh the application list (desktop files) | 14:38 |
| leszek | so relogin might fix it. Not sure | 14:38 |
| JeNeSaisQuoi | hello everybody | 14:49 |
| JeNeSaisQuoi | I new with Lubuntu and I would like to install it on an USB key? How to after .iso download ? Merci beaucoup :D | 14:50 |
| === satan is now known as Guest94804 | ||
| Scungielli | how do I make it so that I don't have to enter a password to get back to my desktop after the screen saver comes on? new install of lubuntu here | 17:32 |
| Scungielli | I'm not worried about security, its just a PC connected to my TV | 17:33 |
| Chunkyz | now the RC of ubuntu/lubuntu has been released, have we finally moved over to LXQt? | 19:22 |
| wxl | Chunkyz: no. | 19:22 |
| Chunkyz | wxl, ? | 19:24 |
| wxl | Chunkyz: we have not moved over to LXQt, no. | 19:25 |
| Chunkyz | is that official? | 19:25 |
| wxl | absolutely. for that matter, look at the manifest of the RC and you can see there are no LXQt packages in there. | 19:25 |
| Chunkyz | I would if I knew where to download it... | 19:26 |
| wxl | same place it always is: cdimage.ubuntu.com | 19:26 |
| Chunkyz | I thought we were moving over to LXQt though? what happened? | 19:26 |
| wxl | things take time | 19:27 |
| Chunkyz | "things" it's been forever lol... | 19:27 |
| Chunkyz | I don't see the RC in that link btw | 19:27 |
| wxl | "forever" also hasn't been forever, either. | 19:28 |
| Chunkyz | you're pissing a lot of people off, including myself who's been waiting for it. | 19:28 |
| Unit193 | It hasn't been long at all, they've had a couple releases at most and it seems like the wise move is to wait until it's at least somewhat stable before moving to it. | 19:29 |
| wxl | under daily or daily-live, depending on which version you want: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/ | 19:29 |
| Unit193 | Chunkyz: So then go install it? | 19:29 |
| Chunkyz | wxl, the rc isn't listed there. | 19:29 |
| wxl | *I* am not pissing people off. The process is. I | 19:29 |
| wxl | "rc" is a misused term | 19:30 |
| wxl | you'll find nothing there that is called rc | 19:30 |
| Chunkyz | not according to ubuntu's site... | 19:30 |
| wxl | what it means is a daily image that is locked in time | 19:30 |
| wxl | i'm sorry that ubuntu's site doesn't make the whole milestone process clear | 19:30 |
| Chunkyz | lol | 19:30 |
| Chunkyz | are you a dev for lubuntu wxl ? | 19:31 |
| wxl | where do you see this on ubuntu's site? | 19:31 |
| wxl | i am a contributor to the lubuntu project. anyone can be *hint hint ahem* | 19:32 |
| Chunkyz | I see. | 19:32 |
| wxl | i don't see anywhere on the ubuntu site showing a discussion of rc images at all | 19:32 |
| Chunkyz | so your word is not officially true so I'll stick around :) | 19:32 |
| wxl | i'm listed under the team here if that's what you mean by not official http://lubuntu.me/about/ | 19:33 |
| Unit193 | Dude, you can see it's not there now, there's no chance they'll test with LXDE all cycle then on the last day switch to LXQt with zero testing. The release team wouldn't even allow that... | 19:34 |
| Chunkyz | your name is? | 19:34 |
| wxl | try searching for wxl | 19:34 |
| Chunkyz | Unit193, yeah it's just I hate waiting and really wanted LXQt :( sorry if I sound rude wxl. | 19:35 |
| wxl | you can install it | 19:35 |
| Chunkyz | that's /not/ the same lol | 19:35 |
| wxl | unfortunately the ubuntu packages aren't exactly fixed yet | 19:35 |
| wxl | among other reasons because of problems with debian | 19:35 |
| wxl | which happened because of other problems | 19:35 |
| wxl | i know it seems like we can just push a button and all is done, but it doesn't work like that | 19:36 |
| xangua | Chunkyz: there's an lxqt meta | 19:36 |
| Chunkyz | I guess I'll have to wait then. | 19:36 |
| wxl | we've all been trying very hard to at least get SOMETHING out, but because of stuff beyond our control, we have been unable to | 19:36 |
| xangua | It's pretty simple | 19:36 |
| wxl | xangua: it's messed up, too, but ok. | 19:36 |
| xangua | There are some distros that offer a default lxqt desktop if you wanna try | 19:37 |
| Chunkyz | I'd rather wait for an official release, the longer we wait the better it might be, true? | 19:37 |
| wxl | um, not necessarily | 19:37 |
| wxl | but patience is a virtue, so if you get that one figured it, *YOU* will be better XD | 19:38 |
| Chunkyz | xangua, yeah but not as good as ubuntu/lubuntu - if you're on about arch etc, no thanks. | 19:38 |
| wxl | the main force behind lxqt has a distro based around it | 19:38 |
| Chunkyz | got a link wxl ? | 19:39 |
| xangua | Manjaro and gecko Linux for example | 19:39 |
| Chunkyz | both suck compred to ubuntu/lubuntu imo :) | 19:39 |
| wxl | https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=siduction | 19:40 |
| wxl | it's based on debian unstable, so similar to ubuntu | 19:40 |
| wxl | (not in terms of community, though, which is what *I* think makes *buntu superior) | 19:40 |
| Chunkyz | wxl, cheers and yeah I agree. | 19:41 |
| wxl | there's also been some further discussion about lxqt and lubuntu. it's unclear as to whether or not we'll completely dump lxde and switch to lxqt or maybe offer both as an option. dunno yet. too soon to tell. there's lots of app decisions we'll have to make on lxqt. | 19:42 |
| Chunkyz | thanks for the info about siduction, never even heard of it. grabbing the .iso now (: | 19:49 |
| tsimonq2 | I wish some people would read my blog... | 21:29 |
| tsimonq2 | https://www.tsimonq2.net/blog/2017/03/24/ | 21:30 |
| tsimonq2 | Explains a lot ^ | 21:30 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh, did I mention we tweeted about it, too? :P | 21:32 |
