Comments:
<0> is mplayer good?
<0> my distro didn't come with it, so i'd ***ume the people who make ubuntu don't like mplayer? or it doesn't work right on it?
<1> I only use mplayer
<1> I like being able to ssh to the workstation and control it from the laptop
<0> thanks for not answering with a bot !command :)
<1> automagically: huh?
<0> in another channel someone just typed !codecs and a bot answered... it's answer did not help
<1> ah
<1> I hate those kind of answers :)
<0> you can play video and audio with mplayer? how about things like shoutcast? online radio and video?
<0> i heard about xmmp or something like that.. is it good? mplayer vs xmmp?
<0> ubuntu comes with totem
<2> totem sux
<1> automagically: never tried xmmp.. only xine and some other player.. and mplayer then :)
<2> mplayer rocks
<0> i guess i want something comparable to winamp. does everything.
<2> automagically: beep
<1> xmms?
<2> no, beep
<1> me no like beep
<0> beep beep
<0> :p
<1> beep feels (and works) like an early beta of xmms.. :P
<3> what is the easiest way to burn mp3's to audio CD?
<1> k3b
<2> k3b
<3> is that command line utility?
<1> no, gui
<3> gnome or kde?
<2> kde
<1> kde unfortunately
<3> isn't there anything else?
<1> nero? :)
<2> Zider: unfortunately?
<1> spike: yes
<3> I'm not using kde or gnome.
<1> me neither
<3> k3b is 42 MB with libraries.
<1> doesn't mean it uses 42MB RAM when running tho
<2> Zider: why the unfortunately?
<0> software for kde or gnome doesn't work on the other?
<3> I can't beleive that k3b is the only app that can burn mp3's to audio CD.
<1> spike: eats resources like a bloody cow in a meadow
<3> spike: kde is bloatware
<1> beered: there are nero, xcdroast and probably some others
<3> Zider: is nero free?
<1> beered: nope
<2> beered: lame + cdrecord can as well. since u're so l337 I'm sure u can manage 'em
<1> what's "l33t" about that?
<3> spike: lol. well, kde is nice and cool... its huge though. there is no way to deny that.
<2> beered: there is, having an insight about the code, kde4, gnome, and how other vm/dm works/do
<2> then u can deny that, or rather, stop blindly commenting like that and saying something more meaningful
<3> spike: that is very doubtful.
<2> in primis, it's just lame to say that something doing 1/10 of the things is faster than something doing 10/10
<2> something more meaningful is saying that u dont need 9/10, so FOR YOU it's pointless the speed penalty
<1> doing 1 thing you need and not 9 things you don't need is more interesting imo
<4> Zider: some people want the things 'bloated' desktops do, it seems
<2> that's nothing to do with brainded comment like "it's bloatware"
<3> spike: just relax. we all have our reasons, and if you like KDE that is your choice.
<3> spike: and if you use it and you like it that's even better.
<1> and calling lame+cdrecord "l33t" isn't braindead?
<2> Zider: no, just sarcastic
<3> spike: large binaries aren't IMO the unix way.
<1> riiight
<2> beered: agree
<5> hi, is there an application to share a blackboard where at least two users can see each others drawings, etc. ?
<6> Where can I get mp3 support for gstreamer?
<5> this can be a web application or a flash application too
<6> ???
<2> !!!
<6> :p
<6> do you know?
<2> I know that I dont know
<6> k
<7> I have a windows laptop and would like to remove windows and go with linux. I am somewhat of a linux newbie. What distro would you reccomend?
<2> M_A_K: the one that fits u better. try them all and pick up one
<2> M_A_K: start trying ubuntu/opensuse/fedora
<8> why those?
<2> M_A_K: those should be the one giving u the easiest way into linux
<2> adggg: most known, biggest community, largest amount of available software, large availability of custom tools to do administrative tasks
<7> These will offer the best support for hardware as well?
<2> M_A_K: yes
<7> Ok. Also, is GNOME or KDE better? or others?
<2> google: linux on laptops
<9> [linux] on laptops: http://www.linux-laptop.net/
<0> i really don't like the way video, java, flash, and everything that a person needs isn't included out of the box
<0> why give me a video player but no codecs?
<2> M_A_K: check that link to see if someone already installed linux on the same laptop as yours
<2> automagically: because of lincence issues
<2> licence*
<7> Nope, not my model.
<0> so codecs are illegal on linux?
<2> they are yes, u're taking responsability urself for installing them
<1> illegal to send along on the disk
<2> no distro will ever ship 'em
<1> (in some cases at least)
<7> I have seen many discussions about Ubuntu, I will start with that one.
<2> M_A_K: smartest choice is to d/l the liveCD and try to boot with it
<2> M_A_K: that wont install anything but allow you to run the full distro so u can checkout hw support and whatever
<0> i'm half tempted to make a tutorial for newbies like me. spent 4 hours trying to get java installed. there was an extra step that the official help/faq and other blogs didn't mention.
<7> Hmm... I will try that. Thanks spike.
<0> ubuntu installed on my laptop without any trouble
<2> automagically: what's ur distro and what was ur undocumented problem?
<0> had to add two linex of text to some .list file
<0> lines*
<0> because java.package wouldn't show up in synaptec
<2> sources.list
<0> yeah that
<2> guess how I know
<0> how? :P
<10> how can I prevent hotplug from loading a module, specifically the visor module?
<2> automagically: "If you get an error when installing java-package, you need to enable the multiverse repository (see AddingRepositoriesHowto). "
<0> yeah i enabled it, refreshed, and still wasn't showing up
<2> automagically: write a tutorial on "how to read", that might help more ppl than a tut on installing java
<0> had to add lines from SeveasPackages to .list
<2> j2re1.4, shows up here, with lines mentioned on that link
<0> reading doesn't help if the steps don't work
<0> like 3 people said the same thing... then one mentioned he had the same problem, told me to add those two lines, and it worked
<1> how can I "unblank" a DPMS blanked screen without having physical access to kbd & mouse?
<0> besides, it tells you to enable multiverse.. then you spend fifteen minutes trying to figure out what "multiverse" is...
<2> Zider: startx on :1 ?
<1> wouldn't that just start another X session?
<2> Zider: or easier, xdialog?
<2> Zider: it would, should be enough to wake X up on both displays
<1> hmz..
<2> Zider: or cat /dev/urandom > /dev/mouse? :)
<1> I'll try that when the ws screen has been blanked :P
<1> spike: hrrm.. don't want any random clicks.. :P
<2> ehehe
<1> hm, maybe xset can do it.. *idea*
<2> oh, yeah, good call
<11> what non-X-Email-Client could i use instead on sylpeed-claws-gtk? .. that can handle my ~/Mail structure filled with 2000 Emailmessages. Any hints?
<11> mutt/gnus/... what else?
<2> keck0f: pine
<2> but well, that is
<4> keck0f: or mutt
<11> spike, amphi: i think of moving to gnus. btw is there mailreader-etension for vim too?
<2> keck0f: no, mutt can use vim
<2> eheh, this it crowd show is hilarious :)
<4> spike: yeah, I have mutt spawn vim for mail composition
<12> Is there a line command to enter that will eject a CD?
<13> mrmocha: man -k eject
<12> cool...
<13> use the man luke, use the man ;)
<12> gnubi-wan, you are my only hope
<13> hehe
<2> mrmocha: then u're pretty fscked :P
<12> gee thanks
<12> :P
