06:58.07 arsh is terminal prompt is same as command prompt ?
06:59.27 arsh ??
07:01.04 kaine119 command prompt refers to windows, i think, while terminal prompt refers to linux/osx
07:01.28 kaine119 for the most part they're the same, but in the windows command prompt it's dir instead of ls to list files in current directory
07:08.36 arsh i am using windows and when i am writing command starting with $ or % .it shows it as a invalid error
07:10.15 kaine119 the guide's showing something like "$ ls"?
07:10.31 kaine119 the "$" is the prompt, something like the "> " on command prompt
07:10.34 kaine119 just ignore that part
07:10.44 *** join/#brlcad Apra_ (75d63253@gateway/web/freenode/ip.117.214.50.83)
07:11.15 arsh this message comes - Error: Usage: % Description: Escape to an interactive shell. Note - This only works in a command window associated with a tty (i.e. the window used to start MGED in classic mode).
07:12.37 arsh ??
07:13.50 kaine119 i think you can ignore the $ or %
07:13.57 kaine119 usually there's no need to start a command with a symbol
07:14.17 arsh ok
07:15.27 arsh and where i can find GUI pull down menum?
07:17.38 arsh then also its not working
07:18.26 kaine119 not sure what you mean, could you clarify?
07:19.34 arsh suppose if i wanted to run linux in oracle which file of linux should i download ?
07:20.06 kaine119 if you're just starting with linux you'd probably want a virtual machine, or vm
07:20.34 kaine119 download something like VirtualBox, then look for a disk image for ubuntu or some other linux distribution
07:22.12 kaine119 try follow this guide: http://askubuntu.com/a/153098
07:49.37 arsh how can i save my shape made in MGED ?

19:15.09 nmz787 Apra_: sounds like you have hardware issues with your computer... or the Linux distro you tried using doesn' include the correct video drivers.
19:15.35 nmz787 Apra_: does your machine have two video cards? one built-in to the motherboard, and another separate graphics card, etc?
19:16.15 Apra no just one, thats the built in one
19:16.19 nmz787 Apra_: sometimes linux will get confused as to which to use, so it can help to go into the BIOS and disable one
19:16.23 nmz787 hmm
19:16.31 nmz787 the built-in usually have better driver support too
19:17.45 Apra ohk, btw i am trying in with a vb....so do i need to extend my video memory?
19:18.44 nmz787 vb means virtualbox?
19:18.56 Apra yeah
19:19.30 nmz787 if you can't even boot, then yeah sounds like you have some setup issues with the VM
19:20.04 nmz787 is there a reason you aren't compiling on your native system?
19:21.10 Apra ah...no space to install visual studio
19:26.13 Apra btw, i am using windows 7 32 bit
19:32.03 nmz787 ah, I see
19:36.02 Apra I am using another os which displays "Something wicked happened resolving..." when I tried installing cmake
19:37.40 nmz787 i'd just use ubuntu, then all you should have to do is "apt-get install build-essential"
19:37.45 nmz787 (or any debian based distro)
19:37.55 nmz787 which I think backtrack is
19:38.24 Apra Yeah it is
19:38.44 nmz787 i.e. 16.04.1 (LTS)
19:38.51 nmz787 is the ubuntu the latest?
19:38.58 nmz787 sorry, those msgs are out of order
19:39.09 Apra no problem
19:39.21 nmz787 i'd try the LTS version, as they are supposed to be more stable
19:39.26 Apra Yeah
19:39.39 nmz787 oh, I guess you're Chinese?
19:39.45 nmz787 is that why you wanted Kylin?
19:40.35 Apra nope, I am not chinese...I asked my friend to download, idk how but he got the kylin version for me
19:40.48 nmz787 oh
19:40.57 nmz787 then I'd not use that
19:41.03 Apra anyways I guess just the alphabets are different
19:41.19 nmz787 who knows...
19:41.36 Apra Developers :P
19:41.43 Apra anyways you are right
19:42.23 *** join/#brlcad ickby (~stefan@p4FD3C9CE.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
19:42.33 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 69288 brlcad/trunk/misc/tools/dom2dox/CMakeLists.txt: fix dom2dox cmake vars
19:45.11 Apra So, I guess there is three paths for me, either download the latest Ubuntu/Mint, or free some space from Windows or the last option use BRL-CAD for virtual machines?
19:46.31 Apra *three options
19:48.04 Apra What do you say?
20:03.42 *** join/#brlcad Caterpillar2 (~caterpill@unaffiliated/caterpillar)
20:12.35 nmz787 Apra: you could also dual-boot your machine, if you have enough free space
20:15.55 Apra I tried dual-booting but got into Grub error...I tried reinstalling Ubuntu...but somehow my windows got corrupted.
20:19.49 nmz787 windows should always be installed first
20:20.08 nmz787 then when you install linux, GRUB will find the bootloader and set up the loader list of OS options
20:20.51 nmz787 I've never installed Linux on the Windows partition though, I've always used dedicated partitions, which probably leads to less potential for error
20:21.10 nmz787 (since Linux doesn't really have an official NTFS filesystem driver, and it sometimes makes mistakes)
20:21.36 Apra After reinstalling windows I didn't try to install it....ohh
20:41.41 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 69289 (brlcad/branches/brep-debug/BUGS brlcad/branches/brep-debug/CHANGES and 55 others): sync r69207 through r69288 changes from trunk
20:57.03 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 69290 (svn:mergeinfo ## -1,5 +1,5 ## and 7 others): mark sync revision as mergedProperty Changed:----------------brlcad/trunk/brlcad/trunk/NEWSbrlcad/trunk/src/libged/polyclip.cpp
21:55.52 nmz787 huh, so commmits show up here... but not bug reports
21:56.29 Apra what is commits?
22:02.12 nmz787 like the message earlier: 12:57 < Notify> BRL-CAD:n_reed * 69290 (svn:mergeinfo ## -1,5 +1,5 ## and 7 others): mark sync revision as mergedProperty
22:02.41 nmz787 the SVN server must have a commit-hook enabled that starts an IRC bot to post a message like that
22:03.06 nmz787 but there is no IRC bot setup for when bugs are reported (because I just added a new bug report)
22:05.58 Apra ohh
