<raf256[laptop]> or aptitude
<Dagmar> ohgood: Turn the backlight down, then it won't gobble up the battery
<slpyhd> yeah thats the bigegst slurper
<Dagmar> The only problem I have with the Zire31 is that in full sunlight, the display is more or less black
<slpyhd> and scp
<slpyhd> :d
<Dagmar> ...like, "looks broken" black.
<Dagmar> But it was pretty cool for $99
<Kevin`> what's a small device with a long battery life that has wifi, a keyboard, and can run linux?
<slpyhd> Kevin`: zauri
<Dagmar> CERTAINLY a better deal than when I lost my goddamn mind and paid $400 for that red Handspring Edge
<raf256[laptop]> slpyhd: prices?
<slpyhd> any pda is too expensive
<Dagmar> Yay for competition in the PDA market!
<slpyhd> so dont spend mony you cant miss
<Kevin`> slpyhd is that the exact name?
<slpyhd> dunno about current prices
<slpyhd> mine is a zaurus 5500
<slpyhd> but the newer ones are cooler
<slpyhd> made by Sharp
<slpyhd> ipaq runs linux too
<ohgood> Dagmar: i've re-encoded movies for the zire71, but it still can't playback smooth enough to satisfy me. need something with at least a 400Mhz
<slpyhd> now pronbably some HP name
<Kevin`> looks like the keyboard and screen are rather small
<slpyhd> Kevin`: http://handhelds.org/~gpe/gallery/ http://opie.handhelds.org/gallery/
<ohgood> tgwj: suse ?
<I_v0> tgwj why annoying ?
<ohgood> tgwj: or just use 32b ?
<tgwj> I got fed up of compiling AND it crashed a wee bit too often
<redduck666> hey DaBlade
<ohgood> tgwj: use 32bit then ?
<ohgood> tgwj: we all know 64bit is still sketchy
<tgwj> no. where's the fun
<tgwj> ?
<I_v0> tgjw if you want to fully use your 64bit architecture you'll always need to recompile the packages
<ohgood> well, ok
<Bonaparte> In the run menu, I use the following command : su - sudh "firefox"
<Bonaparte> When I check the run with terminal option, Firefox launches, otherwise not
<Bonaparte> Is there a way to run applications as different user without opening the terminal?
<I_v0> tgwj I ment in most cases
<tgwj> I won't always need to recompile...
<tgwj> and - I've never used SUSE...
<ohgood> Bonaparte: you could use Xnest, and login as that user, but it's heavier
<Kevin`> you SHOULD always recompile, ***uming the program is not already 64bit
<tgwj> I'm only completely ruling out *buntu - if it's a 64bit distro the apps will be 64bit
<Bonaparte> ohgood, does it take more memory and CPU resources?
<ohgood> Bonaparte: of course. it's a new X session
<Bonaparte> Any other workaruond is there without installing additional software?
<ohgood> Bonaparte: the whole point of 'su' is what you wish to do, really.
<deb242> how i can fix a ntfs partition under linux ?
<redduck666> deb242, what do you mean by fix?
<ohgood> debbie: fix is relative
<tgwj> you could install (maybe you have it) gksu Bonaparte
<ohgood> debbie: what is broken ?
<deb242> i mean
<deb242> i want to check it like i check ext2
<Bonaparte> tgwj, I'm using Fedora Core 4. gksu is not installed
<deb242> there wasn't some utility called fsck.ntfs or so ?
<tgwj> doesn't fedora have some "run as different user" in the menu ??!!
<ohgood> Bonaparte: try gdmflexiserver, it's heavy, but you may like what it does.
<ohgood> deb242: yes
<tgwj> fedora-crap
<tgwj> =*
<deb242> i don't have it installed on my ubuntu and i cannot figure out what package is it
<ohgood> deb242: try 'ntfsfix' or 'ntfs' searches
<ohgood> with apt, sorry :)
<tgwj> maybe ntfsprogs ?
<deb242> installed and tried ntfsfix
<deb242> but it fails
<deb242> Setting required flags on partition... FAILED
<deb242> Error setting volume flags.
<ohgood> deb242: do you have room to backup the partition, befor doing anythingelse ?
<deb242> already backed up
<ohgood> cool, carryon then :)
<Bonaparte> ohgood, are gdm and gdmflexiserver different packages?
<deb242> i think some clusters are gone :>
<Bonaparte> gdm is installed on my system
<deb242> or some files corrupted, and oh well, just one of the booting files, so i can't boot that damn windows
<ohgood> Bonaparte: i'm not on *deb, so i dunno. in gentoo it's all under gdm.
<ohgood> <afk
<raf256[laptop]> why would one use debian
<raf256[laptop]> when there is gentoo?
<Kevin`> I use debian
<redduck666> pkill fanboy
<redduck666> :P
<raf256[laptop]> why ot upgrade to gentoo today, Kevin`
<raf256[laptop]> why not upgrade to gentoo today, Kevin`
<Skiddles^> I'm boed.
<redduck666> raf256[laptop], couse it doesn`t take the damn enernity to compile things
<Skiddles^> Bored.

<Skiddles^> :o
<deb242> i don't have fsck.ntfs

<ohgood> infoB: that sentance fragmented, try again ?
<infoB> ohgood, i read manual on localhost but i did not find how to setup quality...
<redduck666> infoB: that sentance fragmented, try again ?
<ohgood> sorry, still not working infoB. try a full thought befor typing.
<infoB> ohgood, i read manual on localhost
<infoB> ohgood, but i did not find how to setup quality...
<Kevin`> this should be interesting
<ohgood> well, it seems there is an issue with quality. debugging without more information might prove next to infinite in possibilities, but let's have fun with it. :D
<Kevin`> you try slackware?
<tgwj> yes.
<ohgood> tgwj: er, i thought you said ubuntu ****ed ? :\
<Kevin`> hm, wierd
<nukeu666> i want a fc4 rsync mirror so will this work
<ohgood> tgwj: cockpit error ?
<nukeu666> add "--exclude-from=exc" and exc file will have '1/ 2/ 3/' each on a diff line in it
<tgwj> terminology eror more like...
<peterbrett> infoB: Which manual, and what do you mean by "setup quality"?
<tgwj> well, I like debian a lot more than ubuntu, but being based on debian, ubuntu can be ok to...
<infoB> peterbrett, user manual on localhost:361
<infoB> peterbrett, quality means draft, normal etc
<peterbrett> infoB: Ah! You're talking about CUPS!
<tgwj> anyone know a console-based touch typing tutor ?
<peterbrett> infoB: Haven't a clue, sorry
<tgwj> I know there is one...
<infoB> anyone can help with CUPS?
<tgwj> infoB I ***ume you have had a good look around the CUPS web config front end ?
<infoB> tgwj, let say so...
<ananke> infoB : what's the issue. get to the point
<infoB> ananke, how can i set up quality of print?
<tgwj> where does the idea that this is possible com from ?
<ananke> infoB : change it under the printer configuration in cups. you can do it only if your driver supports it
<tgwj> the manufracturer ? the handbook ? the windows driver ?
