<0> Hello, anyone can help me saying how to run vmware like a user?
<1> whoah
<1> help you say something?
<2> toxic_, if you're doing system logging and whatnot, there's more elegent solutions to it. look up /dev/console in various manpages
<2> toxic_, also you might be interested in the program root-tail
<3> okay, gentoo is installing
<4> mngrif, Yeah that's probably a good idea. I'm already using root-tail, haha. I needed some way of creating a terminal displaying some contents after triggering and all. I'll find another way to do it though
<3> yay :)
<5> Alright, BOTH RTCW: ET and nexuiz crash my system HARD or kill X; both complain: couldn't exec config.cfg \n couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
<6> hey what is a light but usable web browser (gui)
<7> jtramp, opera ?
<8> jtramp: opera
<2> toxic_, scripting will probably be your only way. there's also some program that comes with X by default that will show a dialog with whatever on/in it... can't remember the name, it might be a part of the athena widgetset though
<6> doesn
<6> doesn't opera cost?
<2> jtramp, elinks -g
<8> no
<8> its free
<2> it's crude, but works
<5> jtramp: No, but I've heard there are security issues with it. It'll also double as IE on linux.
<2> galeon is lighter than firefox, but it still has gecko on the back end
<2> and has gnome dependancies
<4> mngrif, One of my problems would be solved if root-tail could display items matching a string, unfortunately I found no way to do that. I guess it's scripting after all
<2> toxic_, grep, perhaps?
<9> heh
<4> mngrif, grep works fine with tail, but as root-tail runs as a daemon grep is lost along the way
<10> dillo is lighter than air :P
<2> root-tail - | grep whatever
<2> sonyman, yes, thankyou, i was trying to remember that one
<11> gah
<11> apparently I no longer have ethernet
<4> mngrif, Tried that, without the hyphen though
<2> toxic_, - = standard in
<11> since I last booted this box, it has decided that the ethernet won't work ever
<2> or standard out
<2> depends on the context
<4> toxic_, yeah I know
<2> n17ikh|Lappy, so how are you online now? carrier pigeon?
<11> no, laptop
<10> ROFL
<11> the remote fileserver is the one that uses carrier pigeon
<10> mngrif: no, he's speaking binary through the cat5
<2> sonyman, oh now that's some skillz y0
<10> 1337
<2> n17ikh|Lappy, so run a laplink or null modem link between the two. not fast, but it works.
<2> n17ikh|Lappy, if firewire is an option...
<4> mngrif, btw that doesn't work either, root-tail still parses all text without taking care of the grep
<11> haha
<11> this is an embedded pentium 2 app
<2> toxic_, hrm. interesting
<11> no such thing as expansion cards or fancy serial ports
<4> mngrif, indeed
<11> i'm lucky it has ATA
<12> Hey guys, I've always used gstreamer, though because gstreamer 0.10 is a little crackhole about playing MP3's I've recently tried Xine, it looks more configurable and works better for me, any opinions on this?
<2> lol, crackhole!
<13> hey all, any idea how to boot from a usb cdrom in gentoo? having some issues :) bootup says it can't find the cdrom
<2> Introvert, use xmms.
<7> Introvert, I kickbanned gstreamer becaused it didn't work reliably ... don't know about newer versions
<1> mpd++
<12> bonsaikitten_, The newer versions work worst!
<2> lucificifus, sounds more like a BIOS issue
<12> bonsaikitten_, I think I'm going to get rid of that silly gstreamer use flag and add a xine use flag ;]
<4> mngrif, that's one of the reasons I wanted eterm, to have it transparent and run tail -f ... | grep mask. Oh well :P
<7> Introvert, good idea ...
<2> Introvert, also add an xmms flag :)
<14> brianw: hmm I am too dumb for wpa_supplicant...
<13> mngrif, ok, I'll check my bios, but my cd should be autodetected?
<14> why the heck can't iwconfig key blah not simply work?
<0> Hello, anyone can help me saying how to run vmware like a user?
<12> mngrif, Psht, amaroK please.
<2> lucificifus, that's up to your BIOS... the drive has to support booting from it as does the BIOS.
<2> Introvert, blasphemer!
<13> mngrif, but the gentoo disc loads, and starts loading modules
<1> Success: let me help: you say it like this: how to run vmware like a user.
<13> mngrif, so I was wondering if I can do something in gentoo
<0> brian, yes
<2> lucificifus, if you have the skill and ability, most USB cd rom drives are just a standard IDE drive, so you can pull it out and throw it on the IDE bus
<11> yay! NOW it works
<2> lucificifus, ahhh, you didnt' say that.
<15> hello
<13> mngrif, ah k :D
<16> HI
<15> is there an x86 Universal cd?
<12> I just wish I could get amarok systray working with engage on e17 :(
<15> i dont see one on gentoo.org
<2> lucificifus, no clue then, sorry
<4> mngrif: btw, thx for the feedback
<13> mngrif, ok
<2> toxic_, no problem
<12> fiendskull9, They removed it, use the live/minimal disk.
<15> Introvert, ok, well, i think i might be a little too noobish for minimal
<15> Introvert, doesnt it take like 3 hours to install?
<2> fiendskull9, it's easier, IMO
<16> Who'S know what is the MIKROTIK ?
<13> anyone know how to boot off an external CDROM? gentoo loads, but then cannot find the cdrom after keymap selection :)
<15> mngrif, same question i asked Introvert
<1> fiendskull9: the only difference is that the minimal does not have the stage3's and portage snapshots on the cd...
<12> fiendskull9, Switch virtual terminals use alt+right, or alt+f(num) , type in links gentoo.org and browse over to the docs
<15> ok
<12> Gentoo was the first OS I ever really used
<15> ok
<12> I mean, Linux OS
<2> fiendskull9, install time is all about your own computer's speed. for me, it's a week or so until i'm fully going. mind you I'm on a P2-400
<11> blargh
<15> ah
<15> p4, 1 gig of ram.
<11> I tried installing vanilla debian
<11> didn't get anywhere
<11> I can only use gentoo effectively, apparently
<10> n17ikh|Lappy: you've got problems then ;-)
<2> fiendskull9, yeah, took me a whole day on a p4-2.4 to get EVERYTHING how I wanted it
<1> hello arbiter_dev
<15> mngrif, im talkin booted to x, how long?
<11> none of the conf files are where I wanted them to be, stuff like that
<2> n17ikh|Lappy, debian is a foreign language to me nowadays
<11> there's no freakin make menuconfig
<17> howdy brianw you flirt
<11> or make, for that mattery
<15> In truth
<18> i still like debian
<1> :blush:
<18> but gentoo is so much more
<15> im just looking for a good linux os to try out XGL/compiz on
<11> indeed
<10> I find debian to be extraordinarily easy for me to use. Gentoo is just updated much more frequently (I was using debian testing)
<18> but what i'd really like is a how to on installed DB2 on gentoo right about now!
<2> fiendskull9, just to get X? yeah, you're looking at 3-4 hours
<15> ok
<15> well
<19> back in the olde days, when everything was 16 colour and it was all hills, i used to be able to set a different desktop background for each virtual desktop in gnome... i cant find it any more, did they remove that feature?
<20> SimAtWork, DB2?
<15> could anyone reccomend a good OS for me to try, i really really really enjoy debian based systems
<18> richiefrich: yes, IBM DB2
<21> fiendskull9: why not just use the XGL livecd, i think it was Kororaa
<2> LaptopBrain, gnome's dumbing down is why i'm using KDE now
<1> fiendskull9: debian
<20> SimAtWork, ok i see
<18> richiefrich: i got it installed but it won't start. it keeps saying a problem with shared memory.
<10> fiendskull9: then why not try debian?
<2> fiendskull9, gentoo.
<18> fiendskull9: good and easy = kubuntu
<1> eww
<22> topic please gents
<22> this is a gentoo channel
<18> fiendskull9: and it's debian based.
<15> sonyman and brianw i tried debian.
<20> SimAtWork, throw it out buy a new one :) LOL
<2> fiendskull9, try asking in #debian
<23> SimAtWork: ubuntu is not good :p
<18> richiefrich: db2?
<23> SimAtWork: but easy yes
