<0> but how do i know
<0> i can't seem to find it
<1> Punk1, yeah you may have to scroll up hold shft and hit page up
<0> i'm used to windows
<0> so this is all confusing
<0> and when i try to open a .mov or .avi by right clicking
<0> no option pops up for mplayer
<0> just totem
<1> Punk1, no I hear ya, mplayer isn't actually called mplayer on fedora's menu I would go into #fedora and ask them what it is called.
<1> Punk1, if you click on applicatioins>multimedia>its under there as movie player or somehting.
<0> it's weird
<0> i have all the same stuff as before i installed it
<0> unless it installed hidden somewhere
<2> lemme look
<1> Punk1, open a terminal and type in mplayer
<0> command not found
<2> it's mplayer
<2> I think gmplayer is the command
<2> no, it isnt
<2> the GUI mplayer, I mean
<0> command not found
<2> I don't think it's installed
<2> You can search for it
<2> go to root
<2> and do find / -name mplayer
<2> that is, type "find / -name mplayer" as root
<2> without the quotation marks
<2> Punk?
<0> /usr/share/mplayer
<0> it gave me that
<2> ok
<2> type /usr/share/mplayer
<2> as normal user
<2> did it work?
<0> says its a directory
<2> hmm
<0> and nothing seems to be in it
<2> If that's all it returned, then I don't think you have mplayer installed
<2> So using yum doesn't work?
<2> Why don't you try installing again, and pasting the results in pastebin.com?
<0> Installed: mplayer.x86_64 0:1.0-0.lvn.0.33.pre7try2.4
<0> Dependency Installed: mplayer-fonts.noarch 0:1.1-0.lvn.3.4
<0> Complete!
<2> wtf
<2> Do you have a 64 bit machine?
<0> awesome
<0> it is installed now
<0> and working
<2> cool
<0> thanks a lot fot the help
<2> no problem
<2> Didnt do much though
<0> sure you did
<0> now how would i get codec packs?
<0> prob too much to ask
<0> lol
<0> sorry
<0> now that mplayer is installed
<0> how do i find out where it is
<0> when i right click to open the video i don't get mplayer as an option
<0> does yum just randomly install it somewhere
<1> Punk1, no it doesn't randomly install. you can go to / and do a whereis mplayer to find out where its installed. Punk1 you need to read some tutorials.
<0> yes i do
<0> :)
<1> Punk1, like fedorafaq.org
<1> Punk1, it will help you get multimedia set up etc.... and explain stuff along the way.
<0> k
<0> thank you
<3> can u tell me solution for this http://pastebin.com/579324 ?
<4> install the cup***t module for python
<4> it seems to be part of hplip
<3> Triskelios: how do I install modules in python?
<4> it'll have instructions
<4> in this particular case it's bundled with the other stuff
<3> o-0
<3> aha
<5> At least there is no overflow here!
<5> :)
<5> Any AOL users here?
<5> I need a few tips on setting up their USB adsl modem
<5> Does it show up as a eth device or a USB device?
<6> Tizer: open up the purse strings a bit, get a router to manage your internet connection.
<6> heh, i made 20bucks off my router purchase :)
<5> does anyone use a USB modem?
<4> the latter will always be true, the former depends on what type of modem you have --> [19:08:48] <5> Does it show up as a eth device or a USB device?
<5> Windows thinks of it as an eth type...
<5> I installed debian Sarge earlier on, the PC having an unconnected network facility and a connected external USB modem
<5> I'll have to get the model of the modem. I wonder if AOL publish it on their website?
<7> grrr cant setup xorgconfig
<4> Tizer: well, whatever it reports itself to be will probably be useful
<5> I suspect it is the BT broadband Voyager 50 modem
<5> The other thing that wories me about it is the connection. You need to login to the modem like an old dial-up
<5> A cross between eth0 and PPP
<4> yes, it's PPP just the same
<4> PPPoATM or PPPoE
<5> I saw a PPPoE utility there, never used it
<5> Can anyone tell me what version of PPPoE is used by Sarge?
<5> (if anyone is running it...) :)
<4> "version"?
<4> PPPoE is just a standard
<5> I've found a howto that covers version 0.03
<4> it ships with the rp-pppoe stuff but should be easy to configure. your problem is mostly getting drivers for your modem
<5> I'm suprised how old the howtos are on ADSL and PPP
<4> you mostly don't need them these days
<5> I'll have to be brave and treat it as an eth0 device with a login, which is basically what it is.
<8> hey
<8> i'm installing ddclient on my debian box - it's asking me to Enter the Interface used for dynamic DNS Service.. What is this?
<4> jbrimble: in most cases that means the network interface that connects you to the internet
<4> jbrimble: since you want to update the DNS record for its address
<8> Triskelios, so do i specify an IP?
<4> jbrimble: no, the interface. the point of dyndns is that the IP address on the interface changes
<0> hello all
<0> i'm back
<8> hmm.. i'm not sure i follow :( Do i put the name of my ISP there?
<0> i am getting better
<0> although i want to update my firefox now
<0> i'm having trouble doing this
<1> Punk1, yum update firefox?
<0> No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
<0> but it def needs to be updated
<4> jbrimble: no, you have a network device (like an ethernet card) that has a name. /sbin/ifconfig will list these
<0> i downloaded the .tar from mozilla
<0> i extracted it
<0> but now i'm lost
<0> there is no confugre file
<0> no make file
<2> its a binary
<0> thanks for help
<8> anyone here had experience with MySQL and VB.NET05 ?
<9> can i use windows xp default CD burning feature to create bootable CD's of these linux distro's i DL'ed? and if not whats the easiest (minimally intrusive) program to do it with
<4> jbrimble: the latter is way OT
<8> sorry
<8> I typed in the wrong channel
<7> whats the console command to see if opengl is currently enabled
<4> I think you mean hardware acceleration for GL
<4> because GL will still work in software
<7> yes, that, sorry :)
<4> glxinfo | grep rendering
<7> ty
<7> direct rendering: No
<7> aww
<4> read your X server log to see why
<7> eh, need drivers probably

<10> hello, i am brand new to linux, and i know my way around a windows machine pretty good.. but all this talk of repositories, packages, ect is getting me confused!! Can someone link me to a good beginners guide?
<7> heh.
<7> Rolly: google.com offers alot of beginners guides :>
<11> RollyW: distro?
<10> ubuntu
<4> their web site should have fairly good documentation
<11> RollyW: so it should be pretty set up already. just run synaptic and search for the stuff you want.
