  Selecting the Best Download Server in Synaptic Package Manager
Posted by: dayooper - 06-05-2014, 09:58 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

In the Help Manual under "Software Updates" subheading "Your Software Updates Country Location", it recommends to pick a download server with the word "ubuntu" in the name. I did so. However, when I hit the button "select best server", it gives me "mirror.hmc.edu". Which one is the best (safest and fastest) download server?

  Using Java to run software
Posted by: Colin23erk - 06-05-2014, 09:13 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (11)

Hi
    Has anyone tried to to get a .jar file to run in Java .   
    OpenJDK 7 Runtime Environment is already loaded in Lite 2.

When I right click on the jar.jar file from a storage clipboard program called "KeepBoard" I get the option to open with "openJkd java 7 runtime"
When I click on it nothing appears to happen .

It also has a "start.sh" file which does not work for me

I have downloaded it to win 7 and it runs OK from the "start.sh" file

  Wanting to Import to Anki Program
Posted by: SweetAction22 - 06-05-2014, 06:38 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Anki is a flashcard application.  It also has shared cards via the internet.  I follow the download instructions on the manual to get them, and it does not work.  It says to double click once the download is complete and it will instantly go into the anki program. It doesn't do this.  There is however an import button on the program that opens the download folder but when i select the file to download it says its unable to read file... the file is .apkg and it says it must be encoded into UTF-8.
What am i doing wrong?

  Address bar bug in FF29
Posted by: mirco67 - 06-05-2014, 06:30 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I can see that URLs are "hidden" in the Firefox29's address bar, just like in Ubuntu 14.04's case. If you have this problem, go  here and install FX Chrome theme and you'll see your address bar again.

How do I shut this off and just automatically goto my desktop when I boot?

Thanks

  Problem with Cron
Posted by: rmcellig - 06-05-2014, 03:15 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

I'm still trying to nail down the problem and hopefully someone can help me.

When I run my code from the terminal, it works. When it is run from Cron, there is no recording. The file is created but when I open it, nothing. No sound, and the file size stays at 44k. When I run from the terminal, I can see the file size increasing when I look at it from a thunar window.

Any idea what is going on and what I should do?

This is the code I am using:

Code:
arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/chuo-radio-shows/testaudioJUN0514.wav

I also enclosed my sysinfo if this helps.

  Launcher icons
Posted by: robert - 06-05-2014, 02:34 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I've worked out how to setup a launcher on the desktop and how to assign an icon to it.
Question I'd like to ask is where are the icon folders and can I add some of my own and in what format if I can.
Thanks
