<0> p*nguin: if only irc really worked that way. syncing multiple servers in the presense of lag, disconnects, one-way connections, etc, is a pain in the neck. :P
<1> RaNdY, maybe it's good. but if i want to add program, ubuntu ask me the root p***word. so what should i answer?
<2> sudo p***wd root
<2> Change your root p***word.
<1> thanks p2nguin.
<3> Slax
<3> is that good for beginners ?
<2> Sure. It's a live CD version based on Slackware.
<1> x_link, yes, i think
<2> I would just install Slackware and be done with it.
<4> yea
<2> Use SLAX for a computer that you are not allowed to install Slackware to the hard drive.
<4> delete everything you have and start fresh, new life, new everything!
<2> Like school.
<4> i would do it at school even
<4> you know i would :/
<2> I would have in HS if I had known about it.
<1> then, why don't use dsl instead? smaller...
<4> why?
<0> heh, I always just brought my laptop and did some ethernet cable swapping when I wanted linuxanywhere. :P
<2> shadowdancer: SLAX is based on Slackware and is user-customizable. You build the Live CD.
<0> I kept a 4' ethernet cable and a rj coupler in my laptop bag.
<4> i need to get a laptop bag
<3> I want to try different distron before i install a full distron. on my hard drive. but i think it's really hard to decide
<0> I need to rebuild the battery for my cf-m31.
<1> p2nguin, i mean for deleting the hardisk.... i think dsl's start-up is still faster than SLAX...
<0> brb
<2> YOu don't install SLAX to hard drive. That's my ppoint.
<2> You use SLAX live, and install Slackware to disk.
<1> oh...sorry. now i understand
<5> I'm stopping by my parents tonight to get my 3rd UPS... 2 of 'em have bad batteries. HOPEFULLY, they both use the same lead-acid batteries... so I can put in a "bulk" order for 'em.
<2> I got a battery for my little UPS from an Amazon.com seller. It was really cheap.
<2> It's a 12.0V 5.0AH battery.
<5> I get my batteries from batteryspace.com ... they have decent batteries for LOTS cheaper than the competition. Got me a LiIon battery for my bike light for half what most other places wanted.
<2> Do they have laptop batteries?
<5> the known battery for the UPS at the condo is a 6V 10AH lead acid... BatterySpace has 12AH batteries. So for less money, I get an upgrade!
<5> p2nguin : Might. I just deal with them for cells and lead acid paperweights. :D
<2> I have one of those paperweights.
<2> Vision CP1250.
<0> simmy: go to costco. $43 for a 85 amp-hour 12v marine deep cycle. use two if you have a 24v ups, like mine. I get 6 hours runtime with both my boxes, stereo, etc, all plugged into the ups and on. :P
<2> I can't bring myself to throw it away. It's so cute.
<6> on ubuntu, I have a folder in /mnt/ that I want to send to desktop or panel, how do I do that ?
<5> randyg : i've got a kid and a cat running around. But for the server in the basement.... just might do that.
<2> phalcon: If you have a folder you are using Windows.
<4> doopie doopie dooo
<0> heh, I've got both batteries in plastic battery boxes, on the bottom shelf of the shelves in the corner of my room... the ups is a big APC one that had external batteries as an option.
<0> they never need water, so the shouldn't be making too much explosive hydrogen gas. :P
<6> p2nguin: whats it called then ?
<1> phalcon, maybe directory
<2> phalcon: Folder is a Windows term representing a directory in the filesystem.
<4> ya momma so stupid that i saw her yelling into an envelope, she said she was tryin to send voicemail
<6> okay, let me rephrase, on ubuntu, I have a directory in /mnt/ that I want to send to desktop or panel, how do I do that ?
<0> simmy: over 2000 watt-hours of energy stored there... and seeing as we get constant, long power outages here, it's useful. heh.
<6> I want to make a shortcut for it on the desktop
<0> I only had to power the boxes down twice this year, once for a 2-day outage, the other for a 6-day outage... I could have left the generator running 24/7 to keep the upses topped up, but it's noisy and expensive to run.
<4> man ln
<2> phalcon: Use the mv command. mv -vv /mnt/directory/to/move /home/useername/Desktop/
<6> thanks
<4> use mv to make a shortcut??
<2> That moved it permanently.
<2> moves
<4> isnt a shortcut a symlink?
<2> Yes.
<0> how come people in cities get so freak out when the power is out for an hour, where around here it goes out for 6 days and no one really seems to care? :P
<6> no, I just want a shortcut
<4> then thats what he wants
<4> ln -s /source /destination
<2> ln -s /mnt/dir/to/link /home/username/Desktop/linkname
<6> thank you :)
<2> I can't keep up with the requests. I'm forwarding an Eterm over the internet and it's slow.
<4> heh
<0> remote X? umm... open a terminal locally, and ssh? :P
<2> I probably should.
<4> Sean Paul isnt that easy to understand
<4> Wilbur Valdarama (sp) has this show on MTV called Yo Momma.. its ****ed up
<4> wow Wilmer Valderrama
<4> he's gonna play Ponch on Chips (2008)
<0> and if I did have one, I wouldn't watch crap like that. :P
<4> haha
<5> wi hip_hop^girlj
<5> oops.
<2> Get a capture card and tvtime.
<0> penguin: neither of those is aired in this country.
<4> im watching G4
<2> You can't get a capture card in your country?
<4> i miss ZDTV
<0> a capture card will not help make shows appear that are not available in the country you're in. :P
<2> I didn't ask about any shows.
<2> You said you have no TV. I said get a capture card and tvtime.
<0> why would I want a capture card if not to watch the shows I want to watch? If none of the shows I want to watch are available on TV here, then a capture card will do little good. :P
<2> Now it's clear why you have no TV.
<4> heh
<2> Import it.
<2> I used to.
<4> there are many cool shows on television
<7> oh, its that tv guy
<7> :D
<0> p*nguin: that's what I want to do. find someone back in blighty that has a capture card. :P
<2> I imported TV from Canada.
<1> guys, i want to ask another problem. i have installed suse 10 in my laptop. everything is going well until i want to ping my PC: 'ping 192.168.1.2', then the response is network host unreachable. i check with 'ifconfig', there are no ip address report, but it is UP. what happened? i configured it to automatically get ip address from my ASUS WL-500g DHCP
<4> p2nguin: heh :D
<2> shadowdancer: Sounds like it didn't get a valid IP address.
<0> I used to work installing directv systems... 400 channels AND NOTHING ON. it's sad.
<4> there is always something on, just maybe not apealing to yourself
<1> p2nguin, i have tried to give ip-address manually, but still cannot reach my PC. i have re-installed it, and the problem still occured.
<4> hahaha
<4> n00bi3zl0s3rz
<0> so, no one here in blighty has a capture card to send me the latest scrapheap? :P
<8> try to ping 127.0.0.1
<4> randyg: like right now there is 30 Minute Meals with Rachel Rae
<4> she's so ****ing hot
<2> shadowdancer: It's important to set the IP address and a route out.
<1> c0y0te, it replayed successfully
<1> p2nguin, what is a route out?
<4> route add default gw ip device
<2> man route
<4> heya :)
<0> interex: umm, "hot" people doesn't make up for an uninteresting show.
<5> don't wave at us! Get outta here, ya bum!
<4> lol
<9> Heh.
<8> ifconfig shows your 192.168 IP address?
<5> welcome, back, jb!
<1> oh...yes. maybe it is routing to the modem. i will try it. thanks a lot! i'm trying it now. bubye!
<9> I need to write the DRM doc for gplv3 tonight.
<2> c0y0te: No, it shows the informatin about your interfaces.
<8>
<8> good joke
<2> Holy crap, this is neat. I took a picture of my tv window and then looked at the picture. It's just a blue box. If I move the blue box over my tv window I can see the video.
<0> welcome to the world of overlays. :P
<0> now use the color of the box in gimp to draw an image, and you will see TV wherever you draw.
<2> I guess I never had that happen with xawtv because I used grabdisplay instead of overlay.
<10> wtf
<10> Ubuntuforums is forcing registration?
<5> yeah.... that's ubuntu... all screwed up. :D
<5> jblack : that quote's for you! :)
<11> heh
<9> I'm a team player sort. When I worked for canonical, I shouted "Go Ubuntu" along with the rest of the company.
<10> Go Ubuntu!
<9> Now that I'm working for myself, I'm shouting "Go Debian!"
<5> go debian!
