<0> whats a good dashboard / widget program
<1> hey i need help with installing java
<2> watcher5: http://autopackage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21
<2> also, check this out: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
<2> should take care of your java / browser related issues
<0> how do i mount an image
<3> mount -o loop /path/to/image /directory/to/mount/to
<3> example: mount -o loop /home/ferro/ubuntu.iso /cdrom
<0> what does loop mean
<3> dilly: 'man mount'
<3> read the manual page, it explains what the loop option is, what a loop device is and how it works
<2> oh man
<2> too early to be awake :(
<3> it's always too early
<0> lol man mount
<0> thanks
<1> i did this one and still got no java working... http://autopackage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21
<2> watcher5: google for easyubuntu
<2> see if it helps you at all
<4> i've just noticed that I don't have mkinitrd for some reason-- its not a path issue, i actually don't have it- can someone tell me where I actually obtain that?
<4> i've tried mkinitramfs -- i sort of thought that it would make a vfs the same way or something, but it didn't work when i tried a kernel boot
<3> you might find 'apt-file' helpful, check it out. In the mean time, initrd-tools contains mkinitrd
<4> thanks ferro
<4> here goes! damn, so exciting... lol :)
<5> Compiz is the most useless crap ever -_-
<5> It's like osX times 200
<5> Though, it's very entertaining for a while
<2> sephy: i think it's quite useful
<2> eg, i can spin to a desktop to take a quick look at something
<2> and then flip back, all in about a minute
<2> a 1/2 second even
<5> Well, then you think one of the functions is usefull, but why not use the one where you change the desktop by moving the mouse to the rim of the screen?
<2> i forget where some of the windows are that i want
<2> at least if i can turn the 'cube' a little i can peek to see if i'm going in the right direction
<2> the transparency is also useful for keeping an eye on a background window while your primary task is a window in the foreground
<2> i do agree that certain features, like the jelly windows feature, are quite useless, but fun anyway :)
<5> What about the animated menus
<5> They drive me crazy
<2> turn them off ^^
<2> there is a compizmanager isn't there
<6> too much is too much
<6> :p
<5> I'm sticking to plain xfce
<7> hi
<2> hubyeetc
<2> xfce4 is the best **** i've seen in years
<1> hey i did what the easyubuntu site said and it still dont work with java
<1> or do i have to restart ubuntu for it to work?
<5> You mean that java doesn't work in firefox, or that java doesn't work in at all?
<1> in firefox
<1> i dont know how to test to see if it works in ubuntu yet
<1> how do i do that?
<2> apt-get install azureus
<2> it's a java application
<2> also, i know that java works since i use it every minute of every day
<5> I feel bad for you
<2> :)
<5> sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin
<1> hmm 1 sec trying the first one then ill try the second one
<5> azereus is a bittorrent client
<5> And it requires java to run
<2> yes
<2> best test to see if java is working correctly or not
<2> which i suspect it IS
<5> But now you'll have to help him with the worst bt-client ever
<1> i found the java thing in the menu and that java thing loads... sun java 5.0 web start
<5> Yes, it'll finish loading in aproximate 5 minutes
<1> hey java works on one of the firefox browser but not the other y?
<5> You have to restart the firefox browser
<5> Like, close it then open it again
<1> it works in... (mozilla web browser) ...but not in... (firefox web browser)
<1> y is that?
<5> Tried closing firefox?
<1> yep
<5> Like, all of them
<1> yep
<5> sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin
<2> ^ do that
<1> but 1 mozilla browser loads java
<5> Umm.... do you have the mozilla browser?
<1> yes
<5> It's like, 3-4 years old
<1> ic
<5> Actually, I don't understand what you mean, so ask clarkee
<1> how much hdd space would i need for a good install of ubuntu to do dvd-burning and things like that
<1> well well at least 1 of the mozilla's is working with java
<5> I'd recommend 3 partitions, one as a swap partition (should be twice the size of your total ram-size), one for the os (5GB mountpoint: /), and one for your files (10-20GB mountpoint: /home)
<5> Explaining stuff in english instead of your native language can be such a bother =\
<1> hmm ill have to do that another day when i learn more about ubuntu
<5> Yup
<1> whats a good dvd burning program that is like (dvd-shrink)?
<2> google
<5> In the meantime, if you want help with ubuntu check this site: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
<5> It's in the topic
<1> ok
<5> Both easy to use and a nice design, it's super-great
<5> kelloggs actually
<5> Kelloggs Frosties, they are GREAT!
