Comments:

<0> i tend to use vlc
<1> one of very few
<2> i've got it nicely built on my gentoo box tho where i actually care about it
<1> MPlayer dev-CVS-060201-17:55-3.3 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
<3> i have to do everything from source... (LFS)
<2> heh jeez
<3> runs better that way anyways... :)
<4> hehheheh >:)
<4> KMLDonkey rulez
<1> the tarball is like 9 months old
<3> although i'm doing an Sourcemage system right now...
<3> so i can cast spells.... hehehe
<5> messed up installation of mplayer ..does anyone knows where to change the path of codecs directory
<2> aalib with mplayer tho.. hehe.. the Matrix never looked so good.
<2> its a ./configure option if you're building from source, try ./configure --help, else.. mplayer.conf as GiGaHuRtZ suggested
<3> nah its not there.... that i can see



<3> from reading the docs
<6> ok now that I've downloaded firefox and untar it into a directory
<3> ahhh
<6> how do I make it run when I simply type 'firefox' at the shell?
<3> i figured it out :)
<7> I have a big problem guys :(
<8> How can I allow users to log into ftp but not into ssh?
<3> /usr/local/lib/codecs the codecs have to be there BEFORE you compile
<7> I can't get lilo to boot me into my windows operating system (and I'm definitely not fluent enough in linux to use it as my base system yet)
<2> iciclebox: the command 'firefox' needs to be in your path
<2> try
<3> according to the docs...
<2> copy the tarball somewhere.. say /usr/local/firefox
<2> then do cd /usr/local/bin
<2> ln -s ../firefox/firefox .
<2> then you can just type 'firefox'
<3> linuxda.... i was wrong :/
<2> s'cool
<3> you were right
<3> hehe
<7> Would anyone mind helping me to configure the bootloader (or tell me how to get the old ntloader back for a while)
<2> i just remember tearing out my hair for a while on that exact same issue. I was really hoping they had fixed it by now : )
<5> GiGaHuRtZ, heh, i have a running copy of mplayer...installed with installing the OS
<5> now where the hell recompilation came in again
<2> birdfish, try adding this to lilo
<3> servercrash, so whats your prob?
<3> it wont play movies?
<2> other=/dev/hda1
<2> label="Windows"
<2> add that at the end
<5> prob is that mplayer is looking for codecs at wrong location :(
<2> tho
<7> linuxda: my windows os is on a sata hdd
<5> need to configure that some way
<2> oh
<2> hm
<3> just copy em here: usr/local/lib/codecs
<2> sda1 ?
<7> I have other = /dev/sda1
<3> unless your distro changed the path before hand......
<7> Which is what lilo said would boot windows.
<7> But when I select that from the menu, it just pauses and says loading windows
<7> :/
<2> hm strange
<7> Does the "table" entry mean anything?
<7> I notice in my lilo.conf that there isn't one for the linux bootable
<3> other=/dev/sda1, not other = /dev/sda1 (notice the spaces...)
<7> GiGaHuRtZ: what about the table parameter?
<3> no clue, i dont use lilo anymore...
<2> what table do you mean?
<7> other=/dev/sda1
<7> label = WindowsXP
<3> birdfish, are you using SATA?
<7> table = /dev/sda
<7> GiGaHuRtZ: yes
<3> ok...
<3> if you cd /dev how many sda partitions do you have?
<3> aka sdax (1,2,5)
<2> [that may show more than he has]
<3> true
<7> sda and sda1



<3> is linux on the same drive?
<7> no
<7> linux is on /dev/hda
<3> hmmm
<9> What's the command that changes a file that's a carriage-return-separated list into space-separated output?
<2> birdfish: what does your boot= say
<7> in lilo?
<2> yea
<3> the table should be /dev/sda
<3> because sda is the drive
<7> boot = /dev/sda
<3> stop putting the space!
<7> lilo put the spaces there
<3> its making me think you have it all fubar
<3> the spaces shouldnt be there...
<10> the spaces don't matter
<3> sure?
<10> yes
<3> alright then
<2> something you could try tho it probably won't help, you can change boot=/dev/hda and then set the BIOS to boot not from the sata drive but from the regular ATA drive.
<7> linuxda: I would, but I can't. My mobo doesn't allow.
<2> i c
<2> btw if you want to totally restore the original windows bootloader, you can get a windows boot floppy and do
<2> fdisk /mbr
<3> other = /dev/sda1 label = windows
<3> table = /dev/sda
<7> should map-drive = 0x80 be commented out?
<3> actually he can use an windows xp boot cd
<3> i mean
<3> install cd
<3> and use the recovery console
<7> GiGaHurtz: I already tried that.
<2> o true
<3> and type fixbot
<7> Lilo still remains :(
<7> fixbot :o
<7> I didn't try that
<7> I used fixmbr
<3> footboot*
<3> ahh
<2> if lilo is still there, its probably fixing the mbr for the wrong drive
<3> fixboot*
<3> sounds like you have the bios setup wrong
<2> e.g. not the sata one
<3> if windows is on sata
<7> Alright, let me go try this lilo config once more than then use the fixboot command if that doesn't work
<3> then that should be the first boot drive
<7> Windows is the first boot drive
<7> I installed lilo to it's mbr
<7> Because I coudln't boot linux any other way
<3> wait...
<3> hold hold
<3> what sata controller do you have?
<7> Uhm
<3> is it a amd64 computer?
<7> Yes
<3> ahh
<3> no wonder...
<7> uh oh
<7> Please tell me I don't have to format :/
<2> that sounded so ominous
<3> windows install disk wont pick up your sata drive unless you load the drivers
<3> during the install
<3> hit f6 i think it is...
<7> okay
<7> Cool
<7> Back in a few to let you know how it went
<7> Thanks everyone!
<3> you need the disk
<3> for your drivers
<3> that came with your mobo
<7> OKay
<3> an floppy disk
<7> so nvidia disk and floppy disk
