<0> sorry ... don't understand ...
<0> i have been playing with linux for .... about 4 hours now
<0> google hates me right now lolol
<1> Ripcord: instead of loggin on normally, click on something that says "session"
<1> ans chose xfce
<0> so i need to reboot ? I am in the console currently
<2> Ripcord: try startx
<0> that doesn't work
<0> tried it
<2> why?
<0> i dunno
<0> maybe i also need to install x?
<2> errors, man. we need the errors
<0> well tell me how I am supposed to start xfce
<0> then i can give you an error?
<2> startx usually works. if it doesn't, what does it barf at you?
<3> barf... lol
<0> ahh that explains my error ... no command ... so i need to install x
<2> rredd4: yes. that is short for barfolomew
<0> apt-get install x-window-system ? then xfce should work ?
<0> 'should' being operative word
<3> what is xfce?
<4> xfce4
<5> whats xfce?
<0> http://www.xfce.org/index.php
<3> tanks!
<0> javol
<5> can't someone just say what xfce? we all can't click on stuff and go look
<0> it is a different version of desktop like kde or gnome
<0> it was recommended to me earlier
<5> oh.
<6> xfce = pleasant, fast desktop, too.
<3> a friend told me to type 'ls' so that i can see how much hard drive usage there is. What is the correct command please?
<5> rredd: df
<3> ty
<5> np
<0> i am getting an option ... do I pick xserver-xfree86 or xserver-xorg
<5> rredd: man df for options.
<0> prolly depends on GPU ?
<3> k!
<7> Ripcord: If you have the option, pick xserver-xorg
<0> k
<5> xorg
<0> roger
<3> lo: thanks, its hard to know which command to type when you don't know commands, yet.
<3> i got books tho...
<0> i don't know why it took me so long to play with linux... it's great for geeks :)
<0> from what I have seen
<5> its good for some things
<8> if only foobar ...
<8> worked on nix :|
<0> ya everything has it's place...
<7> What's so great about foobar anyway?
<7> aiui it's overrated, like mirc
<7> I like the artsy-ness of it
<7> er... ECHAN
<8> there isn't anything artsy about it :O
<7> Yeah, that was for somewhere else
<7> But the overrated comment and foobar question were in the right place
<8> in fact, its probably underrated if anything
<8> hmmm
<7> foobar? Why?
<9> ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
<7> What does it have that amarok and quodlibet don't?
<0> woot! i am messing around in xfce now
<3> cdrecord is in my /usr/bin I can't find it in the menus. Shouldn't it be in the multimedia menu?
<9> To solve the current problem type modprobe snd_seq
<9> :)
<9> JACK: unable to mlock() port buffers: Operation not permitted
<9> any ideas?
<7> ugh... foobar can look like anything? Didn't we already learn what a mistake that was with xmms?
<7> And winamp, for that matter, which was far worse
<9> Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
<9> Warning: no locale found: /usr/share/locale/qjackctl_en_US.qm
<10> good evening peoples...
<11> Where in kde can you make dhcp and dns settings? You can do it in gnome.
<10> I need some odd help.. I need to get debian working with no cdrom nor fdd...
<12> that's why gnome is better
<11> bucky: I guess.
<13> uh... with /usr/bin/sensible-editor ?
<12> zebalin7, edit /etc/network/interfaces
<14> hi can someone help me with soundcard? modules are loaded but in xmms i get Couldn't open audio.
<12> zebalin7, http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-net-high
<14> if i start alsamixer i see this error message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
<10> I have the debian core loaded... but need the network drivers going... any help?
<12> Pyrolithic, does your eth0 shows up in ifconfig
<14> :-/
<15> siimo: apt-get install alsa-base
<16> Hey
<14> do i need that with 2.6 kernel
<16> im useing Xchat2 on Debian stable, it wont let me connect SSL to my server,anyone know hwy?
<11> bucky: thanks for the link. I forgot all about the debian book.... thinking kde had a front-end like gnome did.
<15> siimo: yep
<14> slummer, thanks it works not :)
<14> now
<14> not not
<17> yo
<14> i have this weird bug where no matter what openoffice shortcut i click (writer calc etc ) i get an empty openoffice window
<1> siimo: apt-get reportbug
<18> is it possible to setuid to a UID that doesn't exist on the system?
<1> err
<17> cool (#debian-amd64)!
<1> apt-get install reportbug
<14> ok..
<0> how do you get apt to tell you which version of a program it is going to install ?
<14> Ripcord, well you can apt-get show <program>
<0> ahh
<0> thanks
<14> i mean apt-cache
<0> gotcha
<14> do something like: apt-cache show mozilla | grep Version to see just version as come of the packages have too much info
<0> k
<14> Ripcord_L, ah dont log in as root
<0> whups
<0> that is me ...
<0> just installed some stuff
<9> hhow do I change my apt-get sources.list to unstable?
<0> So if I want to install something when logged in as a different user ... i use sudo /
<0> ?
<19> dna_: /msg dpkg sid faq
<0> just curious but what can happen in irc if you are logged on as root ?
<20> any m4 gurus around?
<17> Ripcord, http://www.debian.org/security/2003/dsa-306
<0> k
<21> Hello, anyone here?
<0> yes
<17> !ne1
<22> There is no such nick ne1. If you can't be bothered to type 'anyone' we can't be bothered to help you. IRC shorthand for "I don't have two braincells to rub together" (circa EFnet #amiga mid-90s)
<17> oops
<21> I just did a install of the netinstall
<21> And apt isn't working i think i messed up the /etc/apt/sources.list file
<17> looks like #debian-amd64 got hit by the avian flu...
<21> anyone show me thiers?
<1> dsl580: #flood
<13> dsl580: give us the full output as well as your sources.list
<1> dsl580: in #flood
<5> ahh ivtv rocks
<0> i was using apt-spy earlier ... i really liked it
<5> :D
<23> I have a script with the shebang line '#! /bin/sh' when i execute this with ./configure I get the error command "-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" can anyone tell me why?
<21> deb ftp://ftp.debian.org sarge main
<5> off to get a burger
<5> bbl
<21> X_x something wrong in there?
