Comments:
<0> hi all. I'm getting a blank screen after the install completes and reboots. any ideas?
<1> i don;t rember installing any sort of extension
<2> yipe: do you have xserver-xorg installed?
<3> freakabcd: Suse probably compiled the extension in for the release.
<4> of course
<4> << using gnome right now
<1> _jason, wht extension would that be?
<1> i can try installing that on my dapper
<5> ok whats the ip for the irc.freenode.net again?
<1> its very very useful
<2> yipe: then why would you want to watch a movie in a terminal?
<4> for fun
<4> and my own education
<2> 140.211.166.4
<6> How would one go about downloading a Perl module on a windows box and moving it over and installing it on one running ubuntu?
<7> HellO!
<1> i don;t need to move mouse and click, or ctrl-pgup/pgdn for many times
<1> just scroll
<5> thanks Rug
<8> freakabcd: well all-in-one gestures gives it to me. But if you search for tab scroll in extensions you can probably find a simpler one
<3> freakabcd: I'd start under the Ts, maybe TabScroll or something like that.
<9> yipe: check out libcaca, mplayer, it's a package in synaptic. then you go... um, I don't remember, google for 'libcaca' or maybe juts caca and mplayer, and you'll find stuff (libcaca also has howtos on it's website)
<10> Are you guys just ignoring me?
<2> yipe: do this then: in term: mplayer /movie/you/want/to/play
<7> How do you set up a link on your desktop to go o a certain program I installed with WINE?
<11> Rug, I don't think that would work, because I should copy it to the disk's boot sector. But i'll ask another wuiestion
<1> ok. from the firefox extensions page?
<11> question*
<6> `Xavier: yes they are :P
<6> I know how you feel :P
<8> freakabcd: yeah
<2> facugaich: Ahh I understand what you are after now...
<4> rug: I tried that, I go half a second of sound and then an error message
<1> yipe, what are you trying to do?
<4> play
<4> :P
<6> `Xavier: just keep asking.
<1> play avi files in ascii?
<6> they'll get to ya
<6> :\
<1> mplayer -vo aa file.avi
<11> Rug, when I say disk I mean floppy disk
<8> yipe: hrmm I never saw your mplayer output did I... I forgot about it. Got a link?
<1> that will play in ascii art mode
<1> but no colours.just greyscale colours
<6> ascii art mode?
<10> can someone read my topic and help me: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156412
<2> facugaich: you want to copy a a floppy?
<4> jason, we already figured that problem out, it was because I was using spaces in the file name
<1> if you want colours, mplayr -vo caca file.avi
<8> yipe: oh
<1> that will be almost exactly the same but with colours
<4> instead\ of\ doing\ this\ stuff
<8> yipe: or just putting quotes
<1> i say almost because to provide better colour info, it chnges some chars sometimes
<6> How would one go about downloading a Perl module on a windows box and moving it over and installing it on one running ubuntu?
<4> putting them around the file name?
<4> oh man that'll be WAY easier!
<10> can someone read my topic and help me: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156412
<8> yipe: 'filename with spaces'
<4> THANK YOU!
<5> Rug, all I wanted was to have my server keep my channel open for use so I wanted to log in with my alternate name from it.
<12> Ah - vlc --help shows a bunch of commands to direct oitput
<11> Rug, I have a floppy with GRUB, the one created by ubuntu's installation, I'd like to duplicate it
<1> blindx, you're doing the wrong method
<13> Is there anyway I can compile a C++ file to a .exe in (k)ubuntu
<6> Which method is that?
<2> facugaich: dd is your answer
<1> perl -MCPAN -e 'install mymodulename'
<3> yipe: You can also use tab to complete.
<1> ofcourse that recommended only when ubuntu doesn;t provide a pkg for that module
<5> `Xavier, change your name so we can type it easier, however you bur it to disk, or ssh into your other box and coppy it to the ubuntu box that way
<2> arrick: geez you like to make my life difficult.
<7> QUESTION: How do you set up a link on your desktop to go o a certain program I installed with WINE?
<5> thanks Xaviers
<14> make a shortcut to a command Cloud_tm
<15> ok now what are you talking about, arrick
<16> Das|Busy: http://rooster.stanford.edu/~ben/linux/crosshowto.php
<8> Cloud_tm: right click > create launcher, use the command you would use from a terminal
<4> okay, gonna log back out to terminal mode and try that
<9> yipe: um, ctrl-alt f1
<5> Xaviers, sorry the help was meant for blindx
<15> oh
<9> (is it ctrl-alt? I can never remember, I'm not ever at the box)
<11> Rug, dd seems pretty complicated. Isn't there a way to create a GRUB floppy (I've already done that with some command) and to configure it to behave like the one created by the install?
<5> hey Rug the way to chang channels on here is to ctrl x
<2> arrick: you are making my ears bleed
<9> arrick: no, that's the way to change servers.
<2> facugaich: not that I know of. But I don't know much
<0> I'm getting a blank screen after the install completes and reboots. any ideas?
<15> can someone read my topic and help me: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156412
<13> NickGarvey: Yes, but when I use a program to compile the cpp file I get a .o, not a .exe. Or will the program let you complie to either?
<11> Rug, it's ok, I'll keep looking. Thank you very much.
<4> that was the single most bizarre thing I've ever seen
<5> ok, nothing else works to change it, so i guess i will just leave it on the one FlannelKing Rug. np there
<5> thats why I have two computers
<9> yipe: you don't have to log out to get to a terminal.
<9> arrick: get a real terminal ;)
<17> How can I install Ubuntu from a USB key (i.e., no CD drive)?
<4> I used "mplayer -vo caca 'file name' to play a video in terminal mode, and it played the video as colored letters scrolling real fast past my screen
<5> FlannelKing, so your telling me the ubuntu default server terminal ****s?
<7> ANOTHER ONE: Does anyone know the command to open up a file with wine? I.e. one I can use with Create Launcher...
<4> and you do if you DON'T want it to spawn a GUI window
<8> Cloud_tm: wine file.exe
<18> Cloud_tm: wine filename.exe
<11> adamh: Try googling, I'm pretty sure I've seen an article about it somewhere
<5> Cloud_tm, /wine filename.exe
<15> can someone read my topic and help me: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156412
<4> that was very very interesting
<4> I'm gonna keep that little trick in my back pocket
<6> When you type "su" it prompts you for the root p***word, right?
<8> blindx: yes
<9> arrick: um, sure? I guess. I've never used it. If it doesn't let you do escape codes, it's rather... pointless.
<2> Xaviers: remove any USB devices and reboot
<5> haha
<15> I have no usb devices hooked up
<6> _jason: any clue why it would tell me I have the wrong p***word?
<2> Xaviers: specifically USB drives
<6> (***uming I'm using the correct one)
<9> yipe: that's correct. Make sure you don't resize the terminal after you've started the movie,
<8> blindx: because the root account is locked by default
<5> well it will do the trick for what I want so I will leave it there
<8> ubotu: tell blindx about root
<4> I have no idea what that means
<15> I have n o usb devices connected to my computer
<4> I'm completely leaving X to access the terminal mode
<4> because if I do it within X it just spawns another window
<2> hmm, perhaps an unsupported SCSI controller
<4> fun fun
<9> oh. fair enough (caca gets dimensions at the beginning, and not after)
<4> oh okay
<9> yipe: you also know you don't have to leave to do it, you can just log in on a tty
<18> Xaviers: linux is seeing usb devices plugged into the computer and tring to do a scsi emulation on them as a disk drive
<19> does anyone know how to byp*** a powerbook's internal LCD at boot and use an external display?
<2> blackeyes: you can configure that in the BIOS
<15> Are you calling me a liar?
<19> my ext LCD is hooked up, and flickers some text briefly at boot, but then goes away
<2> I think
<7> Q: Where can i manually navigate to find the fake "C;" drive?
<9> Cloud_tm: is this in wine?
<2> Xaviers: you need to chill we are trying to help you
<18> Xaviers: I am just point out what the kernel message says
<19> Rug: how would I do that?
<20> can you force e2fsck to run on the next reboot?
<7> FlannelKing: Yes
<0> I'm getting a blank screen after the install completes and reboots. any ideas?
<2> Xaviers: does that PC have a SCSI card in it?
<19> whyvas: are you talking to me?
<20> or is there a way to e2fsck or something similar when the partition is mounted?
<4> FlannelKing: if I use, say "Konsole" or something and use the cli from there, won't it just pop up new windows in X if I tell it to open a program, like mplayer or gedit?
