<0> farous: Yes, but people don't like change. Also, I've made a kind of bet with my friend that we can make Linux look like Windows.. Then, with it, replace the Windows installation of one of those users who only play simple games and check email, etc, and they won't know the difference.
<1> is it possible to open a filebrowser thats in admin?
<2> yes
<1> with out having to type p***word
<3> karmaba slows my machine with 512 MB ram
<1> how can it be done?
<1> to make it easier for me to move stuff
<4> Draconicus, been done
<5> primoturbo, or there is a "edit file as root" nautilus script somewhere
<2> primoturbo: gksudo <filebrowser>
<0> powindah: Not properly.
<4> Draconicus, yes properly.
<0> powindah: If you're referring to Linspire, I would have to disagree.
<6> hello everyone
<7> powindah: just give him the link :)
<8> primoturbo, install midnight commander and run it as root



<9> primoturbo: secutity mechanisms in linux exist for a reason.... a wise man once said 'if you don't learn unix (linux), you have to reinvent it, but worse'. This is the lesson M$ is learning at the moment
<1> what do I put in the <filebrowser> part
<10> primoturbo: I'm curious as to what exactly it is you have to move so often as root?
<1> Skins for apps
<1> editing system files
<4> Draconicus, it wasnt with linspire, bunch of usability consultants did some testing(germans) from memory - and no, ppl couldnt tell they were using linux
<10> primoturbo: you ca put all those skins in your home directory
<1> not for all apps
<10> primoturbo: name one
<1> doom3
<4> Draconicus, well over a year ago now - included email, web, calculator, word processing
<10> primoturbo: ok, name one I use :P
<1> I have no idea what u use
<4> Draconicus, google for it
<1> but I play around with quake/doom mods
<1> and I constantly move files around
<1> like skins and packs
<1> paks*
<1> and it's annoying to have to move a lot of stuff
<1> like 50 files
<1> and having to go into sudo all the time
<0> powindah: Give me the link. I'm not going to spend time searching to prove your claim.
<4> using enter for punctuation is even more annoying
<1> I just want to open a seperate filebrowser in root/sudo
<10> primoturbo: just gksudo nautilus then, but it really seems like those apps should provide a way for you to use $HOME
<1> they are games
<4> Draconicus, and I dont overly care whether you believe me - you're the one with a bet with your mates, I'm just letting you know its been done
<1> no they don't they access pak files from their directory
<4> what do I care if you waste your time doing it all over again
<10> primoturbo: no you misunderstood, I'm criticizing the apps for forcing you to do that
<11> primoturbo: it is pretty certain that modpacks can be installed somewhere in $HOME. did you look for .doom3 for example?
<12> primoturbo, gksu nautilus
<0> powindah: It's not a real bet. It's just a joke my friend and I made. I want to act upon it. I don't have time to search. If you don't have the link, I'm not going to stop, and will probably waste a valuable part of my life.
<1> no I'm pretty sure u can't have paks in .doom3
<13> what about using fakeroot instead? Not sure if doom3 would work with that though
<1> configuration files I think you can
<1> I did that I get
<1> gksudo nautilus
<4> Draconicus, ok
<1> (nautilus:9553): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
<1> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
<10> !enter
<14> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
<1> but it launched is that just a warning?
<10> primoturbo: yeah
<15> powindah: when you make a claim, it's on you to back it up, not the guy who disagrees with you.
<0> powindah: Just kidding. I'll google it. :)
<12> primoturbo, gksu nautilus
<16> #ubuntu-de
<17> trappist: otherwise known as "burden of proof"
<4> trappist, my claim was I remember reading something about it over a year ago
<15> powindah: so you have no experience with it, but you ***ert that it was done properly and the average user wouldn't be able to tell the difference
<1> alright thanks
<4> if I knew it was going to turn into the spanish inquisition I wouldnt have said anything :)
<18> ok, I need some help, I'm gettin an error every time I try to install Ubuntu. It's sayin somethin about my ide drivers or somethin and the install stops at that point. any help?
<1> okay I just deleted a very imporant file with root and I cant get it back
<1> what do I do now?
<9> LOOOL
<17> realize why you shouldn't be root all the time?
<4> trappist, I read it - but no, I didnt commit the entire report to memory, along with a link and have it timestamped in my memory; no
<15> just to put in my $0.02, I've seen some pretty decent reproductions, enough to make a windows user feel comfortable, but I've never seen anything that would fool anybody



<1> is there a restore to last point in time function?
<18> hehe yeah root is not good. :p
<10> primoturbo: it's gone, that's why it's not recommended to do that stuff as root...
<0> powindah: Have you heard of xpde?
<9> primoturbo: read the last couple of minutes in the chat log!
<1> I'll just go back in time
<15> Draconicus: xpde is what I was just referring to
<1> whats the command?
<19> anyone know how to mess around with the tab height of a theme?
<17> you can't just go back in time. time is linear.
<0> trappist: Oh. Didn't see that.
<4> trappist, do doubt you're quite sure your mother gave birth to you - I'm guessing the ammount of explicit detail you can recall is rather slim, and hardly reduces the credibility that your mother did in fact give birth to you
<1> lol j/k anyways thanks
<9> primoturbo: Now you know, why it is abad idea to run as root.... got me?
<18> so, any help? why is my install stoppin or is there a way around the ide drivier thingy..
<15> powindah: I'm just getting onto you for making an ***ertion then telling anyone who doubts that ***ertion to do the research to validate it.
<1> yeah I know it's a bad idea
<1> I think I need to learn terminal
<20> _jason, u got that tutorial for devilspie?
<20> the link
<1> how can I move 20 files with the same first part of name at the same time?
<18> primoturbo yeah, knowin the commands helps. :p
<1> sudo mv
<4> trappist, I offered it under the pretense that he was prepared to undertake the entire study himself personally
<15> primoturbo: mv thesecharacters* /some/place
<17> sudo mv firstpart*
<1> k
<17> now I'm sure there's a guide on these commands...
<10> ubotu: devilspie is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98071
<14> _jason: okay
<10> ed1t: ^
<1> is sudo mv /some/place/sdfsaf* /some/other/place/
<1> possible?
<21> hi everyone. I'm quite new
<18> _antix of corse there is, just look up Linux commands in Wiki..
<18> :)
<15> primoturbo: yes
<21> I wanna get glade 2.10 and not 2.12 how to do that?
<17> CaBlGuY: I know. it was a subtle hint.
<18> :p
<1> alright then
<4> transgress, which had he not been exagerating, would have saved him real time - although all of this is moot
<10> ubotu: tell primoturbo about cli
<17> i.e., stop asking everything that pops into your head and look it up
<4> trappist, rather ;)
<22> i'm using xdcmp over ssh
<22> now, can i forward sound too?
<4> since he wasnt serious and it has no bearing on ubuntu either
<19> anyone know how I can mess around with .gtkr?
<18> _antix any idea about why my install would stop?
<17> CaBlGuY: apparently because of an IDE problem :)
<17> you might want to write down what it says next time
<18> _antix very good, now.. can ya help me get past that part..
<18> :p
<17> nope
<18> fine
