Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 I made this new thread, because the other one was solved, but if you want to merge it mods, go ahead. 1. I play Minecraft. I'm using Gnome atm. I can't execute it, even when checking that box, with jre7-openjdk. All I can do is type java -jre minecraft.jdk (or something like that, I can't remember at this precise moment) And I don't want terminal up when I'm running this, I remember you can do it with a bash file, but I long forgot how to do this. 2. How can I install qjoypad? I see it is in Arch repositories. But I can't seem to install it. I remember long, long, ago how to do this. But after Orange made me a .deb file, it was simple to install. 3. How can I run yaourt? I read that up on the wiki, but it doesn't seem to want to install. There some other way to get this? As I know a lot of other guys here are using it. More will come, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlang Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 tried to ask in a dedicated arch forum or irc channel? might lead to faster answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 23, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm in no hurry. And I know there are a few Arch members on here, who knows this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplezz Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I made this new thread, because the other one was solved, but if you want to merge it mods, go ahead. 1. I play Minecraft. I'm using Gnome atm. I can't execute it, even when checking that box, with jre7-openjdk. All I can do is type java -jre minecraft.jdk(or something like that, I can't remember at this precise moment)As Haggis said, it's probably in a jar format which means you need to tell java that: $ java -jar minecraft.jar And I don't want terminal up when I'm running this, I remember you can do it with a bash file, but I long forgot how to do this.So you want to be able to make a runnable shortcut. Just make a simple bashscript: #!/bin/bash cd "Insert minecraft directory" java -jar ./minecraft.jar Or something like that. Then add it to your preferred launcher. I'm surprised the installer doesn't do this for you.Note, in a lot of launchers, you can just give it the command directly instead of creating a bashscript. 2. How can I install qjoypad? I see it is in Arch repositories. But I can't seem to install it. I remember long, long, ago how to do this. But after Orange made me a .deb file, it was simple to install.qjoypad is in the AUR. You need something like Yaourt to install it. 3. How can I run yaourt? I read that up on the wiki, but it doesn't seem to want to install. There some other way to get this? As I know a lot of other guys here are using it.Edit /etc/pacman.conf and add this: [archlinuxfr] SigLevel = Never Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch Then run: sudo pacman -Sy yaourt && yaourt -S qjoypad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 23, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, jar, sorry, I just picked that off my head... qjoypad is in the AUR. You need something like Yaourt to install it. Edit /etc/pacman.conf and add this: [archlinuxfr] SigLevel = Never Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch Then run: sudo pacman -Sy yaourt && yaourt -S qjoypad This is one thing that Arch forums NEVER told me... Boo them.. I don't think I have any launchers. You know of any? using gmrun I have qjoypad, but what does this mean? nvm, found out what this is... I can run qjoypad, but i see no gui or icon in top bar/Activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplezz Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't think I have any launchers. You know of any? using gmrun Well most window managers / DE's come with some way to launch programs. Whether it's a menu system, launcher bar, or just a run dialog (alt + f2 on XFCE). That's what I mean when I say launcher. I can run qjoypad, but i see no gui or icon in top bar/Activities.It runs fine on my XFCE. I just installed and ran it, and a gamepad icon appeared in the tray in the top right.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 23, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, in Gnome, I never got an icon... Huh, maybe I should get off Gnome. I always had the most of trouble... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had the most of trouble... :p https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#For_system_tray GNOME comes with a built in system tray, visible when the mouse is hovered over the bottom right corner of the screen. The size of the icons in this tray is set to a fixed value of 24. To change this value, edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/messageTray.js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
