<0> What media player will play the wmv format?
<1> Mnemonic^: someone just asked about twenty seconds ago
<2> Mnemonic^, mplayer
<1> Mnemonic^: scroll up
<3> psycophobia, most likely gnome depends or used one of those use flags at one time
<4> mplayer and xine both will, as long as the win32codecs USE flag was set at merge time
<0> finfirun, Thanks.
<3> psycophobia, you can try to remerge it later
<2> Mnemonic^, dont forget FieldySnuts hint ;9
<5> i get errors when playing *.wmv's saying there is no demuxer plugin?
<3> psycophobia, for right now you may want to emerge windowmaker (small, lightweight windows manager) to get you through while you don't have gnome
<0> finfirun, What is that?
<6> idiot: nobody's perfect
<3> i have two computers, one laptop, one desktop both running gentoo, both hang after unmounting all filesystems when init 6 ... not an acpi issue ... anyone have this issue before?
<5> i need to play wmv files though =/
<1> Mnemonic^: sorry, thought you were joking since someone had just asked that question :)
<2> Mnemonic^, what is what? i just meant that you have to enable win32codecs USE-flag through compile-time, like FieldySnuts said
<0> Shirakawasuna, hehe ok :)
<4> it's a closed codec, if they don't work, shrug.
<0> finfirun, Ok thanks.. I dident see that
<2> Mnemonic^, np
<7> majortool, I'm on gnome but i did emerge -avtp gnome and got [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.12.2 USE="cdr -accessibility -dvdr -hal" 0 k
<6> idiot: read FieldySnuts message ^ ^ ^
<3> psycophobia, ok hold on let me check up on that
<7> majortool, this allso [ebuild N ] x11-themes/gnome-backgrounds-2.12.3 USE="-debug" 0 kB
<6> idiot: as avi isn't a codec, is only "container" is easy to use it, but wmv not
<3> psycophobia, if you emerge -s gnome ... what version does it say you have installed?
<8> the gentoo logo is kinda weak
<8> so where is the noob guide for this thing
<9> Hi all, downloading gentoo right now as a second distro, which cd's should i be getting?
<3> tendo for gentoo installation?
<4> tendo: the installation handbook at gentoo.org
<8> yeah
<5> i just installed win32codecs =/
<5> do i just run xine normally or does it have to be in the command line
<10> I'd like to "pin" mysql to version 4.1 rather than the v5 I get by default, what's the best way to do that ?
<8> how comes theres so many torrents? which one(s) should i get
<4> idiot: you're still not listening. you have to RE-merge xine or mplayer AFTER having set the win32codecs USE flag for each or both.
<3> tendo ... you bet your *** ... one of the greatest
<11> Theef: minimal, if you have ADSL / Cable
<6> idiot: you need to recompile xine with win32codecs USE flag later
<7> majortool, 2.12.2
<5> oh
<11> Theef: Cable, I see :)
<9> :D
<9> you knew from my ip?
<9> or the provideR?
<11> Theef: yeah, hostname
<3> psycophobia, it'll remove the old version and install the new one
<3> tendo, hold on a moment ... ill get you what you need
<9> _eLMo_ dsl?
<9> : o
<12> markc: put ">dev-db/mysql-4.1.14" in /etc/portage/package.mask to "pin" mysql at 4.1.14
<5> so, use="win32codecs" emerge xine-ui
<10> DrChandra> thank you :)
<4> no... you'll need to learn how to set USE flags properly. on the command line is not the right way. hint: package.use
<4> it's detailed in the portage man page
<11> Theef: yup
<6> idiot: FieldySnuts is talking about your suggestion :-)
<9> er anyway, i've been told by alot of people now that if i want to learn alot about linux etc, that gentoo is a nice start, i just have 2 questions :P
<13> Can someon DCC me a x86 version of libX11.so.6?
<11> Theef: It's true, I started with Gentoo 10 months ago now :p
<3> tendo, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml , http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2 , http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
<12> idiot: Yeah, if you put use flags on the commnad line, their settings fall out when the package gets upgraded. Use the file in /etc/portage to control packages.
<9> #1 I'll be offline during the first 1-2 months of my Linux learning venture, so other than today i will have no internet access
<8> wow thank you
<8> <3
<9> er thats not a question lol ..
<3> tendo, no problem
<11> Theef: that's very unpleasant, since you need to download packages to emerge (install) new programs
<8> ur not such a tool after all
<8> ;)
<9> I wanted to get fluxbox immedietly after install since i won't have anything to work with :D
<9> which comes that question _elmo_ lol
<3> tendo, :)
<9> How would i go about installing fluxbox right off the baT?
<11> Theef: I recommend xfce, not fluxbox, fluxbox is very small, and hard to understand if you are just starting
<14> fluxbox r0x0r
<15> fluxbox does rock.
<11> Theef: although xfce has a crappy filemanager :\
<9> _elmo_ I'm able to use both :D, i spent some time with live cd's etc
<11> Ah, ok, no issue then :)
<16> you are all *boxwhores!
<15> fluxbox also has an awesome file manager
<15> it's called xterm.
<4> indeed on xterm.
<17> <3 KDE
<18> lawl
<9> terminal? lol
<17> Hehe
<11> Theef: well, as soon as Gentoo is running, you can emerge fluxbox :)
<14> aterm lolz.
<15> actually I use rxvt
<3> tendo, typically each mirror has /releases/(arch)/current/installcd/install-(arch)-minimal-2005.1-r1.iso
<19> looks like the short bus just pulled in
<15> but any xterm-equivalent is good
<20> please anyone help, i strived on this system for 3 month, i dont want to lose it
<17> I finally got my KDE at least UP.
<20> those aliases will kill me
<14> Now to try out my modular xorg. *crosses fingers*
<16> "[20:46] <15> actually I use rxvt", and Aterm is also good
<12> Theef: Whiel you have internet access, so a emerge --fetchonly on a bunch of packages you think you might want, and burn CDs of /usr/portage/distfiles to take with you. Then you can emerge things while offline.
<20> please
<20> i am almoast crying
<15> it's been a while since I've tried aterm, eterm, etc
<16> goldfish, running modular X here, without a problem
<21> if I switch hard drives, will a simple `cp -a /* /destination/' be sufficient to transfer everything over?
<15> dracony, well, calm down
<15> dracony, what's the issue?
<9> soOo
<20> i took me almoast a month to get a kernel working on this damned hardware
<9> i don't know which packages i want for sure ..
<11> kelvie_: make sure to keep priviliges
<18> kelvie you'll need to put grub on the other drive
<20> meatmanek: my modprobe doesnt load a lot modules now
<9> besides fluxbox,firefox,aim,xmms = /
<9> gaim*
<21> vainster: yeah.. apart from partitioning stuff, that is; anything else I have to worry about?
<11> Theef: Then you will have to download like 5G of distfiles, to have everything :P
<15> dracony, what's the error?
<21> and does cp copy hidden files?
<20> meatmanek: since i upgraded baselayout
<16> I use: links -driver x
<18> kelvie : dont think so cp should work
<9> lol ic _elmo_
<9> do any useful tools come on the packages CD?
<20> meatmanek: you see i get errors about unresolved symbols
<21> vainster: alright, thanks
<20> meatmanek: but those symbols have aliases
<11> Theef: Don't know, I do want to recommend you the program called 'screen' though :P
<17> dracony: What seems to be the problem guy?
<20> meatmanek: and modprobe stoped using them
<20> meatmanek: for example
<3> dracony, cd /usr/src/linux; make clean; make
<9> is that for takig screenshots?
<3> dracony, had the same issue today with madwifi
<20> meatmanek: i cant load sound because of snd_pcm_new
<22> how can i find out what processes are 'using' a filesystem?
<23> is there any comand line calcluator that suports arguemnt expresions like $calc 3 + 6 / 2
<20> meatmanek: but i have an an alias for that
<15> sevalecan, lsof
<11> Theef: lol, no, with screen you can open a 'screen' (duh), but have multiple terminals in that 1 screen, you can switch between them with a hotkey
<11> Theef: Hard to explain, but it's -very- handy
<9> oh that would be nice
<9> is it like firefox tabs?
<20> meatmanek: i see it with modprobe -c
<12> Sevalecan: lsof, and fuser
<9> essentially same concept?
<11> Theef: yeah, kinda, but for terminals :P
<15> theef, same idea, ish
