<9> !sources
<10> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
<3> ill use linux 4 nething that isnt Half life 2 games
<3> etc
<3> things like that
<8> seb: For many things, ubuntu will probably work well, you can even run some (not all) windows games and programs if you install wine.
<3> Wine?
<11> is there a tool to run a remote desktop session against a windows XP box?
<3> is that free?
<2> can you enable composite stuff on ubuntu
<12> Yango: VNC what your after?
<8> seb: Yes, I wouldn't try HL2 on it, but it is free. You can install it using a program called synaptic in ubuntu
<4> instabin: yes
<2> make windows transparent , etc
<2> how
<4> can't remember :)
<2> lol
<4> try googling :)
<12> !composite
<10> composite is probably at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20769 -- make sure you read the whole thread.
<4> it helped me
<3> were can i find synaptic?
<2> thankyou
<11> Nameeater don't know... must I install that on the windows box? I'd prefer something that comes natively with windows
<12> yes you will, but its generally pretty small
<13> hi all
<8> seb: synaptic is run from the ubuntu menu when you install ubuntu. I run it from System -> Administration -> synaptic
<13> i am playing with dapper on some boxes
<8> seb: It's one of the tools used to install all programs in ubuntu
<8> seb: another common one is apt-get
<13> 2 of them won't let me ctrl alt f[1-4] :(
<12> !dapper
<10> The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be the "Dapper Drake" release, due april 20, 2006. If you want to use it before then, be warned that it's not yet stable and may break. You get to keep/repair the pieces.
<3> is that built into ubunto as well?
<13> has anyone come across this? or have any ideas on how to fix it ?
<14> codecs!
<8> seb: inded, it is
<8> indeed^
<14> codecs?
<13> Nameeater: i know that ... but that doesn't answer my question :P
<14> does anyone know where to look to install various codecs for vlc?
<3> can i install WINE while using a LIVE CD?
<5> seb32: System menu --> Admin. --> Synpatic
<2> whats the speed on every ones inet connection
<15> I wish people wouldn't use ubotu so much. Blindly, no less.
<8> seb: Afraid not. New programs can not be installed while using a livecd.
<2> I just got 8mg down and 768kb up
<16> ubotu vcd
<10> sandy: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<6> Is Dapper an experimental release?
<8> seb: Well, at least I don't think so.
<16> how to play vcd movies ?
<3> yea it would have surprised me
<16> any idea ?
<15> flyingfox: its' not a release until april
<6> thought Breezy is the latestrelease
<3> well the LIVE CD was just 2 chek 4 compatibility
<8> Hmm...
<3> i thought it made more sens to use a LIVE 1st
<6> does using the dapper sources.list safe?
<13> flyingfox: dapper is dev ... breezy is stable
<14> I have heard that dapper is pretty stable though
<15> flyingfox: no, its unstable
<3> whats the DVD player in ubuntu?
<8> sandy: I'll search synaptic, I'm sure there a decoder for it.
<6> thanks everyone
<13> punkb0y: not today ... 2 NICs is broken
<14> seb32: vlc works well
<2> 5.10 = breezy badger
<5> seb32: Totem is the default one
<15> seb32: by default, totem
<13> consoles are broken
<16> what shud i do in synaptic Dtragcoen
<14> thanks for the info about dapper.
<13> punkb0y: np
<16> Dtragcoen: what shud i do in synaptic
<6> anyway that I could use an open source program that can emulate yahoo messenger (like Gaim) but which has webcam capability
<13> btw it was fine yesterday :(
<8> Actually, sandy it looks like a lot of tools can run it, search for vcd in synaptic. I'd try using xine, or mplayer for it.
<14> meebo.com maybe?
<8> (I mean installing one of those.)
<13> flyingfox: there is one for msn ... amsn iirc
<3> is SUSE any good?
<6> i mean for yahoo mesenger?
<6> as most of my freiends are on yahoo msger
<13> flyingfox: not afaik
<16> Dtragcoen: I have totem movie player will it play ?
<15> seb32: bad place to ask about Suse
<12> seb32: why would you ask here?
<8> seb: I'm not sure if there's a default DVD player in ubuntu, but if you search online there's probably a FAQ on how to install it. I do not know on that.
<3> lol
<13> flyingfox: there is a non free app from yahoo.com
<6> skwashd? thanks
<2> !antivirus
<10> instabin: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<3> yea gd point
<2> do i need antivirus on linux
<3> so what do ppl here use linux for
<3> ?
<8> totem may play it. You may have to install gstreamer extensions or switch to totem-xine though.
<5> instabin: not really
<2> well you dont really need if for windows either
<15> seb32: to chat and answer questions about why I use linux.
<17> seb32 so what do ppl here use linux for
<17> for everything
<6> skwashd> i did an install of yahoo meger but wine could not load it up
<13> seb32: it cleans my house for me, gets me laid and makes sure i have a good time ;)
<5> seb32: everything
<2> is there an anti-virus for linux
<6> skwashd> and the unix version offered by yahoo does not support webcam
<14> clam av
<14> antivir
<13> instabin: clamav
<15> skwashd: what distro are you using!?!
<8> seb: I've heard good things about SuSe's YaST, (like synaptic) but I've not used it in ages. I didn't care much for it at the time.
<2> apt-get?
<18> instabin: wy r u searchig for an antivirus in linux ?
<13> carpediem: ubuntu ... chicks love it :)
<14> I have tried many different distro's but always come back to ubuntu
<2> keep me from getting a vir
<15> skwashd: must be a different version than the one I use.
<18> instabin: r u new to linux ?
<5> instabin: there basically aren't any Linux viruses
<8> instabin: clamav, but you probably won't need it for a desktop computer
<13> carpediem: wait until dapper is stable ... maybe they will keep those features ;)
<19> hi all
<8> instabin: linux anti-virus is mainly to keep from spreading windows virus through networks
<3> What is the biggest compatibilty limitation or UBUNTU?
<20> hi all
<2> oh
<3> of*
<18> Madpilot: i guess there are viruses in linux
<2> last linux i used was redat 6.2
