<0> mastershake: What did you install?
<1> wine a new menu updater thing, and a text editor
<1> i can find the wine folder, but i dont know how to run it
<2> Got Ubuntu 6.06 installed and running
<1> im retarded on this OS
<0> You can use the whereis command to find binaries, sources, and man pages which are installed in your path.
<0> whereis wine
<3> or locate
<0> Teach him how to update the slocate database before you tell him to use locate.
<0> Since he just installed it it's not likely to be in the database.
<3> updatedb
<3> should be automatic
<0> How would it be automatic?
<3> mine is
<3> it automatically update x minutes
<2> You guys talking about me with my new ubuntu, or someone else?
<0> Mine automatically updates one time per day. That is default on this distribution.
<1> talking about me
<2> ok
<0> Anyway, `whereis' is a nice tool to find binaries, sources, and man pages installed into your system.
<0> mastershake: If wine is in your path you should be able to use it like this: wine ~/fake-c/Program\ Files/Company/program.exe
<0> That would run the program.exe with wine.
<4> Hmmm
<1> and i would run whereis from the terminal?
<0> Yes.
<1> ah ha! im learning
<1> woot my new turbo ninja 5000 cell phone gps keyboard thing just came
<0> It's only going to show you the path that wine is installed. You still have to run it yourself.
<1> would i use the full path to the prgram or just cd till i get to the folder?
<0> Neither.
<0> If it is in your path, just call it by name.
<1> i dont understand would it have been installed to a specific place?
<0> By being in "your path" I mean in a directory which is defined under the $PATH environment variable.
<5> "which wine" will show you whether or not wine is in your path. if it's not, you'll have to find it. If it IS in the $PATH, then you're all set.
<5> anyway..... boss just left. THat's my queue to head outta here. :)
<1> thats way over my head at this point, i remember from college a million years ago a little of what your saying but i have been using widnows for so long i have foroggoten mroe than i eve knew
<6> simmy: hi/bye
<0> When you install programs from packages, the package should conform to the FHS and be installed into specific locations on your system.
<0> More times that not, the packages will place the programs into the right places and they will be in your $PATH so that you just open a terminal and type the name of it. You rarely ever need to cd to other directories for anything. I never leave my homedir.
<0> If I wanted to edit a /etc/fstab I would never cd /etc and then edit fstab... I would simply use "vim /etc/fstab" while I am in my homedir.
<1> so say i got the firefox.tae.gz and unzipped it, would it go to the correct place?
<6> mastershake: define "correct place"
<0> First off, you don't unzip a tar.gz. You unzip a .zip.
<7> why would you need to do that? Don't most distributions already have a package?
<6> also, you would probably use tar with the z flag instead of unzip
<6> tar zxf firefox.tae.gz -C /path/to/where/you/want/it
<0> And simply gunzipping and untarring a file does not place it in the right place. You have to tell it where to go like Isaac-Lew pointed out.
<8> Isaac-Lew: Hey there. Shame we didn't hook up.
<8> So, what did the doctor say?
<6> jblack: it looks like the insomnia was casuing the stomach problems, not the other way around
<8> that's a new one to me
<6> yeah, when I don't get enough sleep, I get sick
<6> (like this past weekend)
<8> That, I've noticed in the past.
<6> the sleep medicine seems to work, I actually got a full 8 hours last night
<6> I don't think I've done that in years
<8> wow.
<0> What kind of meds did you get?
<8> btw, your old boss never called. I guess he found someone else.
<6> the generic equivalent of Restoril
<6> they're all in a meeting that's been going on since 4 pm ET
<1> ok ive downloaded firefox in tar.gz how would i ummm... un-tar it to the correct place?
<0> mastershake: You'll probably have to become root in order to write it to the right location. Once you are root, you can tar zxvf firefox*.tar.gz -C /usr/local/lib/
<1> kk brb
<9> Hi all
<0> mastershake: That will put it in /usr/local/lib/firefox. Then you'll need to link it to a location in your path by doing this: ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox
<9> Isaac-Lew: did your results come yet ?
<0> mastershake: I'm presuming you have a tarball of a precompiled firefox distribution. If you have one that needs compiled the way I described is not the way to handle that.
<4> Temazepam is great stuff, Isaac-Lew
<4> The problem is, you'll quickly build a tolerance to it.
<6> Al-Ashtar: yes, it looks like insomnia was casuing the abdominal problems
<6> DrDoug: 'k - I may switch to something else if that happens
<4> Well, expect it to happen quickly
<9> so you need more sleep
<4> Temazepam generally only works well if you only need to use it 1-2 times a week

<10> but i`m lookin for those file
<10> and i just wanna change my windows media sound

<0> Linux is a kernel, not a media center.
<7> "linux sound"?
<10> =.=~
<10> p3nguin : Linux desktop
<10> also gives some sound wav
<10> for startup or reboot
<0> Once you ask something that makes sense to me maybe I can help you.
<10> uwm ..
<10> p3nguin : what`s your operating system ?
<10> may i know ?
<0> Slackware Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows XP.
<11> Ryo_SakazakI, are you using gnome or kde?
<10> i`m using windows
<10> :D~
<10> p3nguin : i mean
<0> There's nothing I can do about that.
<10> your operating system
<0> If you need Windows help, I suggest going to #windows95.
<10> not ur server operating system
<10> hey
<11> that ends the help from me ...
<10> i ask about linux ..
<10> not about windows right ?
<0> I already answered about my operating system.
<10> and if you are using KDE linux
<0> KDE is not Linux.
<10> i think you can help me
<10> yea
<0> Yeah, it's not.
<10> KDE is desktop for linux or bsd
<10> ~.~
<0> What does that have to do with Windows?
<10> rrr
