<0> I am actually looking to play non-standard (i.e. Codec-Required) Videos with Totem
<1> CodyDH: check rpm.livna.org
<2> CodyDH, take a look here
<2> Help with Yum -> http://www.fedorafaq.org/#getsoftware > also check out Yumex (GUI to Yum)
<2> CodyDH, at is the only place with the win32 codecs packaged
<2> otherwise go and download them from mplayer
<0> daMaestro: look where?
<2> i posted a lin
<0> oh alright
<2> link*... you need to setup your yum to use non-standard repos
<2> you might read the whole site.
<0> I was trying to keep my repos down to the default, extras, and livna
<2> so then just don't enable the others
<2> that package only has default extras and livna enabled
<2> it just allows you to force the enable for the other repos to get software that you want.
<0> w32codec seems to be on atrpms
<3> hahahaha
<3> mouhez dropped :D
<3> hihiihi :)
<4> CodyDH: doesn't livan package mplayer for fc?
<4> livna even
<2> yeah.. but livna doesn't have the codecs packaged
<0> I believe so, but livna ... yeah :)
<2> use the mplayer from livna
<2> and install the codecs from at
<2> CodyDH, it is all there on that page.
<5> does somebody know tcameron's email or somethin?
<0> not a huge deal, I am just going cold-turkey to Linux and trying to get everything setup as cleanly as possible
<4> gah
<4> i could make a package for the drivers by the time you get this all figured out! heh
<0> Me?
<6> What's the command or tool for renaming a computer?
<7> system-config-network -> DNS ?
<2> hostname
<2> and /etc/sysconfig/network
<2> or something like that
<7> fc5t2 is siiiick
<0> How so?
<7> It's just really polished
<7> and fast
<0> Yeah?
<7> And it's quite nice they've added the mono stuff now
<0> check out the /etc/acpi directory... are there any scripts and stuff in there or the two subfolders?
<7> sample.conf in events...
<7> although i'm not sure the box i'm on is running in acpi mode
<0> Ugh... when will Fedora learn? Ubuntu has configuration files for like 75% of the laptops out there... FC4 doesn't even try
<7> that's not so cool..
<0> not really, when I realize it after I've got my laptop almost 100% switched over from linux and I realize I've only accomplished turning it into a desktop computer
<0> rather, switched over from windows
<7> heh. yeah that would be only _slightly_ annoying.
<7> maybe i'll try the ubuntu flight3 on my buddy's old thinkpad instead of this...
<0> and unfortunately ubuntu sets up acpi completely differently than FC4, so a copy of the acpi directory won't do it either
<8> How do I decompress a *.tar.bz2 package?
<0> bunzip2 filename
<0> then tar xvf filename
<1> tar -xvjf filename
<8> ok
<8> sorry I need to understand what 's the difference between those 2 tar and bz2?
<0> Probably do the same thing
<0> I just do it the hard way, I imagine :)
<9> _stever: use felipec's way
<8> ok
<10> hi! is there a gnome sound recorder app somewhere for me to test my microphone?
<11> how do i get the updates without haveing to anwser yes to all these questions ?
<2> what questions?
<2> are you doing a yum updatE?
<11> no
<2> you could p*** -y to yum 'yum -y update'
<2> but after you get the keys installed and all that... each yum update should only ask you once.. if you would like to continue
<11> when i type that i get this..Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: updates-released
<11> Error importing repomd.xml from updates-released: Error: could not parse file //var/cache/yum/updates-released/repomd.xml
<12> are you running yum as root?
<11> yes
<13> hey guys... fc5 dropped kde from main branch right?
<14> is there any way to upgrade from FC4 to FC5t2 without burning the cds? Perhaps a repository?
<2> no
<2> do a fresh install
<12> airmikey: are you using a mirror list or just one repo? it may be a problem with the repo you are using
<2> lol.. there might be... just do a fresh install
<12> daMaestro: what about pointing yum to the devel repo and doing a yum upgrade? :)
<11> whats the command to get to my repo
<2> i wouldn't do it
<12> airmikey: look at the files in /etc/yum.repos.d
<12> daMaestro: nor would I, but it is a possibility
<2> I just want Xen... but i am going to wait for the full release
<14> what are the issues with an upgrade as opposed to a fresh install?
<11> jeff_s:where would i find some new repos ?
<12> Jahboy: well, there's a long list of things that can go wrong during an upgrade...
<12> airmikey: http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html
<14> btw, did wget work well for fetching the iso's?
<11> thx sir
<12> you're welcome
<11> what about for packages
<11> programs
<15> where does the rhgb get the font size from (just done an install and it's so impossibly tiny I can barely count the words, let alone see any letters)
<12> airmikey: what do you mean?
<11> like if i want to do ..apt-get install
<14> is there any way around actually burning the cds? (IE, boot to the files) At this point I'm just trying to get my way around all the h***le of burning iso's
<16> Jahboy: yes, several
<12> Jahboy: you can do a network install
<12> airmikey: once you have the repos setup, you can just type 'yum install <pkgname>'
<12> fedora-extras includes all sorts of packages
<14> then is there a way to turn the iso's into their respective files without burning the image?
<11> ok but i need to put certain links in my repos wright ?
<12> airmikey: yes and no - it depends on what you want to install and what repos you have enabled already
<11> jeff_s for example i want to install muine
<15> Jahboy: yes, you can mount the isos with -o loop to access the contents
<11> jeff_s and mplayer
<17> yes .. it's such a h***le buring cds
<17> such a pain
<17> if only the world were free of cd burning
<17> we'd all be better off
<12> airmikey: are you running fc4?
<11> yes
<14> still wondering if there's a way to get rid of my preference files (like .gnome) and set yum to do an upgrade?
<17> damn you are a moron
<14> haha
<12> airmikey: I don't know where you can get those - you'll have to look around
<17> "i don't want to burn the cds" .. and "can i erase my /home and do an upgrade?"
<14> yeah
<11> jeff_s what about for ..flash or java
<14> it just seems like it ends up taking forever. I've seen several sites on upgrading Fedora 3 to 4
<14> or FC2 to FC3
<14> just not any for FC4 to FC5t2
<17> that's because you DON'T do that
<12> Jahboy: well it's the same idea, but you need to point yum to the devel repo
<18> daehepod: someone needs to take some chill pills
<17> it's not recommended, supported or suggested
<18> :P
<17> and you obviouskly have no idea what you're doing anyway
<17> a test version is certainly NOT for you
<14> fair enough
<14> but that's why it's my spare compy to crash if I really want to
<14> besides, I can always do a fresh install if it doesn't work out :D
<17> you're just asking for trouble installing fc5t2
<17> it's for people who KNOW what picante sauce should taste like
<18> ..
<18> what should picante sauce taste like
<18> purely out of interest, having never heard of it before
<17> like it's not made in new york city
<18> that doesn't help
<19> daehepod, I managed to break Linux in all sorts of ways. Now I know quite well how to un-break. Why deny someone else of that 'journey' ?
<14> ha, yeah. That's how I figured out Win NT
<14> have a fun day figuring out the drivers for WinNT, mmm... tasty
<19> Jahboy, But that's broken already :/
<18> i was gonna make a joke about windows
<18> but it's winnt
<14> haha
<18> so it's not so fun to make jokes about
