After watching that, and you're not laughing, rolling on the floor, or heading to the bathroom - you need help.

with dual boot, I have arch linux alaready running

does anybody have some experience with this

@Trufa when you install windows, it will overwrite the bootloader program

so, you need to have an ubuntu cd or a usb disk handy

1) install windows, making sure you don't overwrite the ubuntu partition obviously ;-)

and then 2) boot from the ubuntu disk, select "repair a broken system" (or something similar) and run the "update-grub" command

I haven't installed windows for many years, but this should work

@StefanoPalazzo awww

thank you very much

hope I'm right (:

probably :)

I now need to download an whole os

to install another os

how very windowsy

@Trufa if nothing has changed since I last checked, the ubuntu disk will ask you to select a repair option. I'm thinking you should have to select "drop to a root shell" (or similar). Maybe it even has an option like "repair bootloader"

@StefanoPalazzo Just in case, I have arch linux installed

3:56 AM

this is the official documentation: help.ubuntu.com/community/…

even so I should do it with ubuntu?

looks outdated :-(

@Trufa yeah, ubuntu will just detect all your operating systems

ohh

that sounds good!

omigosh @StefanoPalazzo check this out :D: youtube.com/watch?v=0bRlh5KO0VQ&feature=related

urgh,

4:01 AM

I was reading through documentation
and I found this

> youll have to make a boot flopy so ye can boot linux up on the hard drive

morning sickness @RolandTaylor (never mind, the english language has bitten me again... I don't have morning sickness, this video just makes me sick and it happens to be morning here)

that sounds outdated...

hehe

that was outdated even when the first version of ubuntu was released

@RolandTaylor that creeps the hell out of me

okay I'll go out for some breakfast now. see you later o/

4:06 AM

@StefanoPalazzo hehe

that's odd

same here O.o

I don't feels so good right now :s

and it's morning

maybe we're both pregnant

@Trufa good luck with the windows thing, pop in here if something goes wrong

laters (:

@StefanoPalazzo thank you very much for the help!!

I hope everything goes smothly

otherwise

I'll post a question

travels to the future to ask his wife if he is pregnant

@StefanoPalazzo: I assume you noticed something new in the preferences dialog in JS Studio :)

@GeorgeEdison ono I didn't upgrade yet, let me do that now

No problem.

oi cool :D

I took your advice.

...and now the Windows (and Ubuntu) builds have a nice icon set.

@GeorgeEdison a small thing, I'm not quite sure about this:

should you apply changes to the preferences when the user hits the "X" on the preferences window?

5:47 AM

They're actually instantly applied.

But I bet you only see the icons change when you close it...

...that's because the main window only updates (repaints) itself after the dialog is dismissed.

oh right, that makes sense

Rest assured that the actual change takes place right away.

one more thing, even smaller: the Preferences are called "Options" in the main menu. Should be consistent. Also, the Preferences button should be in the "Edit" menu on Linux ("Tools" on Windows, I think)

imgur is down :\

Right.

anyway, you know in gedit there's a dropdown on the Open toolbutton, showing the five most recently opened files

I use that all the time, it would be a nice feature to have in jss as well

@GeorgeEdison while I'm at it, I have a couple of suggestions built up: 1) search/replace should treat \n, \t, and so on like newlines and tabs, and \\n as "\n". I often replace ", \n" with ",\n" and things like this.

2) an option to (subtly) highlight the current line would be nice

3) fullscreen mode please!

that's all I can think of for now
