Comments:
<0> games work pretty good in linux via cedega
<1> nobody has an DELL OPTIPLEX GX1??
<2> philc: you'll need to load mpg codecs, and avi codecs. Avi comes with w32codecs, and mpg shouldn't be too hard to get either. But I've no experience with either, so I can't tell you specifics. Someone probably can though.
<3> FlannelKing: There's a girl upstairs, broke MSN --> Gaim, broke IE --> Firefox, broke MS Office --> OpenOffice, broke lots of stuff --> Is probably going to consult with her mom about installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot.
<0> and a bunch of games have native linux versions
<0> Nosgoth, not me, I built my system :)
<4> The performance on high end games is not there yet though
<3> Games are less of an issue for my contacts, since they're mainly students and family, and not into that.
<5> Toma-: Thanks, that might save me some day when I'm forced to use Windows...
<0> works really well with the games i've played on it
<4> PC games are starting to get boring and repetitive...
<2> tonyyarusso: yeah, the funny thing is, for MOST people, linux would work fine. checking email and the like. Although I haven't had any experience with mail clients. And have heard some of htem have problems (or maybe it's that there are no good user friendly ones), but yeah. For most people, linux suffices.
<6> anyonew know how i can see what's wrong with my audio?
<4> saw Doom 3 on cedega, not very good fps
<0> doom 3 has a linux version though
<4> yea fair enough, that was a little while back for me
<3> FlannelKing: Thunderbird rocks, fyi. If they have an already Linux-using friend do the install process, and deal with things like !RestrictedFormats, then yeah, it would be perfectly functional and usable for the majority of users.
<1> Let me put it in other words, Somebody has a cs4236 integrated audio card????
<2> tonyyarusso: yeah, I haven't had time to install it on my windows box and try it out. soon though.. whenever I have down time that I can stand to do without checking my mail constantly.
<4> btw, does anyone know of a good NES emulator on linux, preferably opengl? :-)
<3> FlannelKing: Hehe. Yeah, I talked my dad into trying it, just for kicks. He got back to me, and was really pleased about being able to detach attachments from messages.
<6> anyone know how i can see what's wrong with my audio?
<3> How best to blank screen & turn off backlight on a laptop without closing the lid? (ie, a command)
<4> thunderbird is the best for average traffic mail usage, people that get insane amounts of mail tend to not like it
<3> WIndows_****s_it: Do you know why?
<4> I'm not sure, I can just deduce that it's the features, they tend to like outlook 2003
<7> yeah t-bird doesn't manage large amounts of messages easily
<3> WIndows_****s_it: Hmm. If we knew which features that would help give direction.
<2> one thing Ive heard about tbird, is you can only use one outgoing mailserver
<3> wastrel: Do you have some further input?
<7> what's the question?
<3> FlannelKing: That much seems to be true.
<8> anyone know why ndiswrapper wouldnt be making a wlan0 for me? ive got the right drivers install, -l shows them, -m has been run and still i have no wlan0
<2> and, 'large amounts', is that total? like, archives? or just a lot of traffic?
<3> wastrel: What features does it need to manage large amounts do you think?
<2> first, define 'largeamounts'? throughput? storage?
<9> I've installed Apache2, but can't create new folders or files in /var/www... Please help me
<4> like 400 emails per day large, but still, who gets that much mail? service departments? ebay power sellers?
<2> yeah, tonyyarusso that's one thing keeping mehesitant. since, I need to be able to use mutliple servers.
<5> Does evolution work on Windows?
<7> i'm just talking about user interface. selecting and managing messages in the UI
<10> has anyone here tried Enlightenment?
<7> tends to be clunky
<3> FlannelKing: I wonder if 1.5 fixes that.... Might have to check release notes.
<2> eh, I can deal with that.
<2> tonyyarusso: no, I checked recently. Long after 1.5 was out.
<11> s_spiff: a bit old school now I think
<3> FlannelKing: Nuts. Soon I hope then.
<2> tonyyarusso: in my mind, that's shortsighted of Mozilla.
<12> Hello all
<3> FlannelKing: Did you tell them that?
<11> s_spiff: I could be wrong, but I think there is 'better eye candy' nowadays
<9> I've installed Apache2, but can't create new folders or files in /var/www... Please help me
<2> tonyyarusso: no, I haven't had time to do anything. I wen't over there the other day, didn't have much activity.
<7> i set up an imap server locally so i can switch clients easily. i use mutt mostly and t-bird when i want gui stuff. evo seems to have improved a lot since i last tried it. there's also balsa and sylpheed which i haven't used for a while.
<3> FlannelKing: Yeah, the channels are a bit slow. I was thinking e-mail it.
<11> Paedrigh: use sudo, and set permissions as necessary
<2> tonyyarusso: where email it though?
<11> Paedrigh: er, with chmod
<13> Does anybody know how I can make a PXE boot floppy?
<3> FlannelKing: Dunno. I have some time; I'll look around. If I find something, I'll send off a message for you.
<2> wastrel: yeah, that's what I want to do. except I have no idea how, or the specifics of imap. Any good links?
<11> wastrel: sylpheed is really light/fast/lean
<2> tonyyarusso: eh, I cna look too. No use wasting your time. help some people with ubuntu ;)
<9> Xenguy: thank you, but I'm not very good with commands. Is tthere now graphical way? :?
<3> FlannelKing: When I can... (Limit to what I know.)
<11> Paedrigh: nautilus I suppose...
<2> tonyyarusso: laugh
<7> FlannelKing: i just searched the ubuntu forums - chose dovecot as the server, have used courier-imapd in the past - both setup pretty easily. i have fetchmail->procmail->maildir, then dovecot reads the maildir for me.
<6> anyone know how i can see what's wrong with my audio?
<2> wastrel: yeah, alright. so, how does it all work?the IMAP server checks your external accounts? or what? (mail newbie here, or at least, technical aspects)
<12> how to use broken filter
<12> ?
<2> shukhrat: what's a broken filter?
<3> How to play an audio file as if it were going through the microphone? For instance, say I want to play something on my computer for someone I'm talking to with Skype, and want to do it directly rather than just hoping my built-in mic picks up the speakers decently?
<11> Paedrigh: but really, for stuff like this, you'll do yourself a favour to learn the commands :-)
<5> mikebot: I don't... but what's wrong with it?
<0> hm, getting all sorts of compile errors when i'm trying to compile this, http://www.metatheme.org/
<9> Xenguy: Teach me master, and I shall remember...
<7> FlannelKing: fetchmail is a pop client that pulls mail from my accounts, feeds it to procmail which filters out spam & delivers everything to maildirs in my home directory. dovecot is configured to read those maildirs, and i set up my clients to talk to dovecot as the imap server
<11> Paedrigh: hah :-)
<2> linuxboy: I imagine you can find some sort of image on the web, then you just dd it over.
<0> i tried to apt-get it, it said it was referred to by another package, but not actually in any of my repositories
<6> shreevatsa, i don't know--it worked (both xmms and totem) until last night when i tried to use easy ubuntu
<12> FlanneKing when i install upgrades Ubuntu say me that i have one broken pakage and offer use broken filter
<6> shreevatsa, now i don't hear anything, with the ovlume up, it plugged in, &c.
<11> Paedrigh: ls -ld /var/www
<13> FlannelKing: been there, done that
<9> so, do I write sudo ls -ld /var/www ?
<11> Paedrigh: sudo can never hurt
<3> Xenguy: I doubt that...
<5> mikebot: what do you see? What errors does it give? (I don't know anything much, really; but still could be of help?)
<3> Xenguy: In general I mean. ls is pretty harmless.
<11> tonyyarusso: point taken; in this case, context
<6> shreevatsa, i was getting an error with xmms, but now i'm just getting no volume
<7> well i have made excellent progress with pymol this evening.
<2> ah, wastrel, so basically I just send it to the imap server after Ive downloaded? alright.
<11> Paedrigh: tonyyarusso is right; sudo should only be used when necessary; try first without
<5> mikebot: Try playing a file with mplayer at the command prompt, and see what happens?
<9> Oh, I was a bit too fast
<2> wastrel: does it work the same way for sending? or do you just send it, then send it to imap as well?
<11> Paedrigh: no worries
<7> FlannelKing: you're not really sending it to the imap server. the imap server is reading the directory where your mail is delivered to.
<6> shreevatsa, how do i do that?
<12> my Ubuntu haven't cirillic charset how to install new charset's ?
<9> it says [drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-03-10 12:26 /var/www]
<14> hi ubuntu live is a gas
<7> FlannelKing: for sending it depends... heh mail is complicated. either tell your clients to use your ISP's mail server, or setup a local mail server and have your clients use that.
<5> mikebot: start the terminal, and type "mplayer <path to file>/<name of file>"... that is, if mplayer is installed :)
<11> Paedrigh: OK, so you need 'sudo' to create subdirectories under /var/www
<15> hi
<16> mail
<11> Paedrigh: is that what you want to do?
<5> mikebot: what is "easy ubuntu", btw?
<9> affirmative
<17> !easyubuntu
<18> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
<6> shreevatsa, some program that is supposed to be useful for new ubuntu users, getting things like sound drivers and nvidia, etc.
<11> Paedrigh: so, mkdir somedirectorythingie
<19> ctc
<19> helo
<16> hi..
<6> !paste
<18> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
<14> hi jhane
<19> helo
<11> Paedrigh: if you want a regular user to be able to put files in that area, then you can change group permissions or some such
<19> asl plz
<20> do i have to get cedega to play warcraft3 and doom3?
<19> noh
<14> I'm using ubuntu live on a friends lapop. bueatiful.
<9> Xenguy: what chmod would you reccomend to set to be able to do so?
<6> shreevatsa, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9993
<21> hi all !
<11> Paedrigh: chgrp yourmainuser /var/www
<7> FlannelKing: oh, do you mean for saving copies of sent messages? the client talks to the imap server, which writes a copy to your sent box
<22> i was installing ubuntu 5.10, it completed installing and told me to remove CD, then the system restarted. after restarting (and booting) it was again installing something and some error was caused that said some packages are not installed. the system started in console mode. how can i switch to gnome or even know that it is installed properly?
<21> my agp controller is not detected on my new motherboard ; i'm lost ; anyone may help me ?
<23> tai
<16> mindkill: X
<2> wastrel: yeah, saving copies of sent messages.
<22> root@futurex:~# X
<11> Paedrigh: then: chmod -R g+s /var/www
<22> root@futurex:~#
<11> Paedrigh: then see what ls -ld /var/www says again
<20> so wine can run doom3 and warcraft3?
<5> mikebot: I'm sorry; I don't see anything amiss there... sorry I couldn't help
<6> shreevatsa, that's okay..thanks anyway
<12> my Ubuntu haven't cirillic charset how to install new charset's ?
