<2> sovieticool: yep

<8> sufa, nope - i find them all stupid and useless. :P

<5> hahaha
<5> ok
<2> CD_Zzzzzz: $EDITOR is an 'environmental variable' -- ignore that for now
<4> and how i make vlc to play movie whit subtitle ?
<2> CD_Zzzzzz: use gedit or some other editor you like
<5> ive used flux for the longest time now, with debian, and i wanted to give ubuntu a try
<5> and i want to get the "full experience"
<5> desklets and all :-P
<9> waste-of-memory is my favorit
<3> sufa if you use ubuntu you will hardly need gdesklets. but you can check them all
<7> naa no app installed on this laptop tried gedit nano and all - sudo $gedit /etc/apt/source.list
<7> i have to install an editor 1st

<2> nickrud: meant for someone else?
<1> has anyone done that? use icons for loading ubuntu at the welcome screen
<7> got nano to work without the $
<6> Xenguy, my favorite gdesklet

<7> ty brb
<10> oye 195 million powerball jackpot
<2> nickrud: ahh
<5> kmon, DeskPong looks awesome
<5> :-P
<10> just think of all the broken windows machines that kind of money can buy
<11> hi
<2> nickrud: everyone at work is using 'widgets' on d0ze - I just ignore it all ;-)
<10> wtf are widgets anyways
<11> just wondering why cant rename things im getting errors like bareword"xorg" not allowed while "strict stubs"
<9> win desklets
<8> Widgets - the term YahooWhatever uses for its desktop-applets
<2> mavric2001: like gdesklets or whatever, but only run on d0ze and mac
<8> Widgets, Gdesklets, epplets, ect...
<10> kinda like the gnome bar aps?
<11> in trying to do a ,,,, rename xorg.conf.yanc42 xorg.conf
<8> "Stupidletts"
<10> suchas weather report etc
<2> hehe
<6> mavric2001, things that sit on your desktop, showing current info, like weather, time, disk usage, whether or not your tea is done ...
<8> mavric2001, those are more of a 'dock applets'
<8> :P
<5> wait they have widgetts for windows?!
<9> damian_, sudo cp
<8> sufa, yahoo bought out some little company that has a tool that does it.
<10> i like the weather and sticky notes
<10> thats all i use
<8> OS-X/apples latest has a similer feature now I belive
<11> what does rename do then i inda found out it wasnt the command i thaught it would be
<10> sticky notes are great for remembering certain commands
<8> Theres dock apps that do the same things :P
<12> it works
<12> thanks everyone
<8> damian_, for renaming a lot of files.
<10> chmod commands go on them first thing lol
<9> http://people.debian.org/~debacle/refcard/refcard-en-a4.pdf its easy as sticky notes
<11> ok
<11> well thanks guys
<10> its nice that gnome and kde will be cross compatible, bout time
<13> hi. i'm installing ubuntu-server, but after partitioning the installer won't install the base system (yes i ***igned a partition as /)
<14> anyone use Zapping?
<6> mon, did you check your iso burn yet?
<15> Hmm. I have a small problem here. I run Breezy amd64. I was going to look for updates today in the packet manager that is located under "programs" in the top menu, but suddenly it's gone. I could use synapsis, but I liked the one that was there. Does anyone know I can get it back?
<13> nickrud: hmmm good one..
<16> Toma-, better to say I am doing X with Y and it appears to break Z can anyone help polls are not for here
<15> *how I can get it back.
<13> nickrud: burned at 8 speed though, md5sum checked. don't think that's it
<10> aciid are you talking about synaptic?
<6> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto <-- mon
<0> can any1 help me with gtkwifi? of give me a better laternative to set up my wifi card?
<14> ok.
<10> i think theres a ubuntuamd64 channel
<15> Mavric2001: Synaptic works fine, but there was another packet manager under the programs menu that I used. Where you can choose cathegory and download games and such
<14> Im using Zapping and is says "DMA not possible on screen 0.
<14> Setup failed." in the terminal and i cant use overlay mode. and one got any clues?
<17> Hello, I recently changed the hostname on my server, however now I cannot sudo into it because it's saying it cannot resolve the name, which it should be able to. How can I get back into root!?
<14> damn it. sorry
<18> GTX, ssh ipaddy
<10> aciid im not sure, check to see if there is a amd64 channel for ubuntu
<19> GTX: reboot in grub recovery mode and modify /etc/hosts to match /etc/hostname accordingly
<17> IdleOne, explain? I havnt set a root p***word.
<17> _jason, I cannot do that it's a server.
<6> GTX, you need to boot back into recovery mode, and make sure that /etc/hostname & /etc/hosts (first line) have the same hostname referenced
<9> man resolv.conf ?
<12> last question regarding thunderbird... is it possible to remove messages if there are duplicates ( I forward all my work email to gmail)
<19> GTX: so you mean you don't have physical access
<17> rambo3, how would you edit resolv.conf if you cant log into root. THINK!
<17> indeed _jason
<19> GTX: I think you are in trouble
<17> :\
<19> GTX: sometimes you can edit even with taht error, does 'sudo nano /etc/hosts' not work?
<1> can someone point me to a how-to to enable a icon-based login screen for ubuntu so my kids dont have to use a p***word
<17> _jason, correct
<14> !kdm
<20> Toma-: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<1> i think they call it family style but i cannot find it anywhere
<14> grr
<21> TF4: good question, i know of a way you can choose the user, but i think p***word is required
<3> toma what are you looking for there is no how to for kdm
<14> farous: it was for TF4
<1> hmm
<3> TF4: have you searched the forums
<1> i made a default p***word but maybe i can just p*** it through 'on click'?
<1> yeah been trying to find a relevent search kw
<9> GTX, your problem not mine to think anyway
<1> ive tried all the windows kw's i know like login or welcome screen
<19> GTX: you are basically talking about circumventing the use of permissions in linux, if you find out how to do it, report it as a bug immediately
<1> my kids are 3, they cannot type thier names lol
<3> how about giving a really easy p***ward like 123
<21> TF4: ahh i see, how about automatic logon?
<1> well the other option is just to login with some sort of default p***word
<1> yeah thats what i was thinking
<1> make a default user that logs in after x seconds
<21> TF4: i use that so tha i can vnc into the my linux box, and don't have to bother with ssh
<1> and put thier noggin and disney icons o nthe desktop
<1> k im going to try that thx for the help!
<22> Dr_Willis: sorry was away: anything compatible with mencoder would be ok
<21> TF4: i f you leave the seconds blank the defualt seconds is 5
<23> Hi people
<22> Dr_Willis: I found kmenc15 but it doesn't open mpeg files which really ****s
<21> TF4: you are welcome
