<0> awol, basically it's not the matter of using linux programs i need to adjust to, it's knowing how to work the scripting and os eh?
<1> Clocker: well there are 20,000+ packages available via a simple button click... but nothing's perfect...
<1> knowing how it all thinks helps....
<1> i been using linux for a dozen years or so now... and i never got distracted by bad M$ windows habits....
<0> that's moreso the os isnt it?
<0> arent knowing the programs the same in both windows and linux?
<2> Hey guys i have this .avi file when i click it the file opens with the default movie player which really ****s. Is there anyway to have it setup so it opens with my other players like VLC and MP? Instead of clicking open with each time i want to run it in VLC?
<1> well i dont care what linux i'm using... they all run the same kernel....
<1> but each distro has it's own quirks
<0> what is the quirk of ubuntu?
<1> _DiG|LT1_: look in your desktop and/or file manager's preferences dialogues
<2> k
<1> Clocker: various little things... like it doesn't ship with madwifi-tools package altho it contain a modern madwifi driver
<0> ah
<1> it doesn't always config every vid card properly especially on some laptops
<0> ah
<1> just little stuff... that only a linux guru would know...
<0> oic
<2> Couldnt find anything that tells me much about making this other app the default player
<1> well i dont use a file manager... i dont "point & click" on prograns to execute them... except from menus and buttons
<2> point and click is fun
<1> point & click == asking for trouble
<2> only ran into this one issue here which isnt a big one
<2> so no trouble really
<0> awol, you can watch videos from command line?
<2> hehe
<1> as a matter of fact ya can
<0> lol
<1> gstreamer plugins let ya watch movies in full color with only ascii
<1> remarkably good and watchable reproduction too
<1> i saw it demonstrated at the linuxconf.au-2004
<1> i dont bother tho...
<0> so you have to watch videos in gui pretty much?
<1> i do work on fvwm-themes window manager configuration tool.... so i just run a few xterms
<1> i have a 3840x1200 desktop.....
<1> so i watch movies on one monitor while i work on the other
<0> awol, what irc client should i use?
<0> and is it simple to install? :)
<2> im using xchat it kind of ****s tho when it comes to features
<3> Clocker if you like mirc look, xchat
<0> how or where can i get that?
<0> i'm new to linux
<1> i use the same client i started out with a dozen years ago... command line...
<1> Clocker: menus --> System -> Administration -> Synaptic
<1> Clocker: synaptic is your main package management tool.... go into the repositories and enable Universe and Mulitvierse as well
<0> hrm, i think linux just crashed
<0> i cant click on any of the windows
<0> none of my menu buttons work
<0> and none of the windows work for the tasks i opened
<1> ctrl_alt_backspace to restart X
<0> ok
<0> oo
<0> now they're completely gone
<1> actually... it only restarts X because it kills it... and gdm is respawed so ya end up back at the gui login
<0> i lost my gui completely now
<4> does anyone want to play trivia?
<0> it just shows a background
<4> i got it running in #nea
<4> if theres any takers
<0> how can i reset my computer now?
<1> Clocker: it just shows a background?
<1> what ya mean?
<0> yes, just the default pinkish background
<0> the menu bar at the top is now missing
<1> it should kill X and respawn the gui gdm login prompt
<0> and the bottom one is gone too
<0> when i logged back in
<0> it says the control whatever is still loaded
<1> well gnome has certainly died
<0> ok, i'll do a full restart i guess
<1> unless you report "precisely" and "accurately" what error messages ya getting i cant help you
<0> thats ok, i'll do an actual restart
<1> there are logs ya can check too
<0> oh
<1> like /var/log/Xorg.0.log and others
<1> reboot is a wincrap philosophy
<1> i dont tolerate it
<1> the ONLY time you ever really need to reboot is when you install a new kernel
<0> lol
<1> otherwise linux can run continuously for months... if not years
<0> providing that the hardware doesnt glitch eh?
<1> yeah... my server's hd had a fit 3 weeks ago... i need to replace it......
<2> my xbox was up for a little over a year running gentoox
<2> took it down like a month ago
<0> where could i find xchat in the snaptic package manager?
<0> what heading would it be?
<2> just do a search for xchat
<0> on google?
<2> click search and input xchat it will locate it
<2> no in SPM
<2> click the search button at the top
<0> i typed in xchat
<2> it will find xchat and you mark it for install and press apply
<0> it says 0 packages listed
<1> he hasn't enabled the repo's like i told him
<0> how do i do that?
<1> he doesn't pay attention
<2> Oh
<0> i do pay attention :(
<1> it's a friggin gui... look thru the menus
<0> i'm just playing around with this so i dont always see what you type
<0> lol
