CCT: now hosted at garron.us; v0.9.3 out

I'd just like to bump this thread to remind people how awesome CCT is once you manage to get the stackmat timer working with it.

I know a lot of people have problems getting the stackmat to work properly with CCT, I did too, but Chris B. helped me out with it today and it's great to be able to save times without ever having to touch the computer.

If you haven't tried to do this yet, give it a shot, it's well worth it! :)
 
Bumping again for a q.
Can someone instruct me / is it possible to have the scrambles show while in fullscreen? If I would want to use it all time fullscreen, it seems futile to jump between these 2 screens to see the scramble.

how can I get this working with ubuntu?

You need to have Java Runtime Environment installed. To achieve this, you can type sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre in your terminal, or find that package with Synaptic.

After that, you right-click CalCubeTimer.jar and select "Open with Sun Java 6 Runtime".

To make this default behavior, right-click the .jar file and select "Properties" where you specify under "Open with" the program you want to use with .jar files. The default is Archive Manager, but you'd rather open the files with Sun Java 6 Runtime. After that, you can simply double-click the .jar file.

hmmm.. I tried the "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" on my terminal, but here's what I get

Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This my mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is available from another source
E: package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate

Seems like Ubuntu has dropped Sun's Java packages from their repositories on 10.04 version. You can try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre which is an open source version of the JRE. My experience with OpenJDK is quite bad though, so if that doesn't work, you can also add another repository by: add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" after which you should be able to install as in my previous post.

EDIT: oh, I forgot to mention it's a good idea to write sudo apt-get update before making install commands.

since I'm a linux nub, I don't know a lot about how linux works. I kind of get the sudo thingy, but I don't understand how to add repositories. A little help? (BTW, thank you so much)

also, CCT was blocked on openJDK. is there anyway it can be unblocked?

That add-apt-repository command didn't work? Well, I'm not running the latest version of Ubuntu, so I'm not sure if they have made any major changes, but usually your repositories are listed in a /etc/apt/sources.list which you can open in a text editor by for example sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add that deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner there. After that run sudo apt-get update. I think all this can by done from Synaptic Package Manager as well (try that if you haven't already, that's where you can install most of the software). Also Google is your best friend when you are running Linux. :P

Edit: no idea what that blocking means :/

thanks a bunch. switching from windows (where everything is so simple) to linux is so frustrating. Thanks again!

After a while you won't miss Windows anymore. :) The reason why I say all these cryptic commands is just that it's easier to give a command on a forum than explain how you do something with graphical user interface. It might make Linux seem more complicated than it actually is. Usually you do pretty much anything related to installing or removing programs through Synaptic instead of those apt-get commands. But think how this would go in Windows, you want to find a program that does a specific task, so search something in Google and then you have to find the one program that is good, preferably free, doesn't have spyware or other malware and after all that you have to manually search Google later to install the updates :confused:. In Ubuntu you have a list of good tested programs (repositories) so you can just pick one that does that task (search in Synaptic). You can be sure it doesn't have any malware and it is kept up-to-date automatically by your system. :)

I want a downloadable timer, so I'm still keeping CCT on hand (even after TNT is done)
Click to expand...

TNT is downloadable..
(Although not easy to use that way at the moment.)

Just curious, why do you want it to be downloadable? Do you just want it to be to be available offline? Something like qqtimer.net/offline.html would work almost as well for that purpose.

Offline is exactly the reason. Since I don't actually don't live In Winnipeg, my Internet is kind of sketchy (Makes it hard to be a nerd :P). It keeps cutting out. I need something that can average my times with, offline. I tried the offline qqTimer before, and I just don't like it. This one I REALLY like, so I wanted to download it.
