Comments:
<0> how do i run exe or rpm?
<1> tonyyarusso: do you know if one can turn the ISO into something grub-bootable?
<2> xerox: you could try installing smart boot manager on a usb stick, if yr bix can boot from usb, perhaps
<3> andrew_: what are you trying to run? ubuntu likes .deb's :)
<4> Ompaul: No worries Ompaul, I can fill ya in. I'm tryin to install cedega 5.0.1 in Ubuntu 5.04
<1> amphi: I _am_ using ubuntu on an external hd in fact.
<5> andrew_: Those aren't Ubuntu formats. First you see if they're available natively.
<4> Ompaul: Only I don't have a .deb file. :S
<5> xerox: I don't, sorry.
<6> http://live.gnome.org/Luminocity
<7> Does the Ubuntu Install CD have a repair option?
<8> phelan, where did you get it?
<9> naetrick: i think breezy does
<5> andrew_: So what are you trying to run?
<4> My friend gave me a copy.
<8> phelan, okay
<10> anyone have any good video players to watch avi's? I was trying ti use mplayer but the video and sound isn't sync or is that caused from my computer?
<4> Ompaul: My friend gave me a copy.
<11> does anyone know what format of the cedega demo file is?
<9> when you put it in type help or whatever keys it tells you for the help menu
<12> is remote desktop the same in hoary as in breezy?
<7> gnomefreak: v5.10?
<9> naetrick: yes
<10> then when I was trying to use vlc video player it would start then cut out after a few seconds. When I say cut out I'm talking about exit.
<7> thanks
<2> jerryv: badly de-synched? if it's a little off, you can use + and - to mess with A-V sync
<1> amphi: mumble mumble...
<4> Protocol1 I just downloaded it lastnight, it's an sh file. Shell script
<10> amphi Ahhh okay....in mplayer?
<13> phelan: have you tried using "alien" to convert it from a slackware tgz package to a deb? i believe the tgz is a package if it came from Transgaming
<2> jerryv: yeah
<10> amphi I'll give that a try here in a sec hope that works.
<14> Hi. I've such issue: in one directory I have many files ended with exe and dll. With another one there're files witch such names, but ended with ex_ and dl_. I want to copy _just needed_ files from second directory to first, changing it's names. Can anybody help me with this?
<0> ya sorry im trying to install limewire
<11> phelan, how do i go about installing it on ubuntu
<2> jerryv: I quite often find I need -200 ms
<5> !tell andrew_ about limewire
<0> and the linux version is in .rpm format
<4> Protocol1: Workin on that myself. I'll try to help ya when I'm done. ^^
<1> amphi: maybe I could put a CD drive on the USB enclosure?
<15> bbl
<9> !limewire
<16> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
<0> thanks
<2> andrew_: you can use alien to turn an rpm into a moderately crappy deb
<4> dulouz: Ok, hmm, how do i do that? It came with an sh, a cpkg(for the engine), and the tarball, which is the main installer
<2> xerox: yeah, you could try - you'd need to use the bios to boot it, as grub can't boot cds
<9> amphi: im thinking the way ubotu says might be easier and safer than alein
<1> amphi: my bios currently boots the GRUB on the external hd it seems
<0> what is the recomended program to use? is limewire/frostwire good?
<3> ubotu: tell andrew_ about linewire
<3> ubotu: tell andrew_ about limewire
<3> ubotu: tell andrew_ about frostwire
<3> ubotu: tell andrew_ about java
<11> phelan thanks
<2> gnomefreak: probably
<2> xerox: should work then, if you put a cdrom drive in the usb cage
<2> gnomefreak: nor I
<0> oh.. wow..
<0> nm
<3> andrew_: ?
<13> phelan: something like: "sudo alien --to-deb cedega_5.0.1.tgz" if you have a file called cedega_5.0.1.tgz.
<0> ya?
<8> phelan, do this >>sh cegeda_filename<< and see what it gives back
<3> there should be a way to make ubotu take lists so I wouldn't need 3 lines to make him say something
<5> _jason: Agreed.
<9> _jason: ; doesnt work?
<3> gnomefreak: doesn't seem to
<17> !lart topyli ; !info sl
<0> ubotu: tell _jason about firefox; ubuntu; limewire
<4> Ompaul: I used cd to get to the folder the tar is in, than did "sh cedega.slackbuild.sh" and it said no such file
<0> ubotu i dunno what is 'firefox; ubuntu; limewire'
<16> andrew_: what are you talking about?
<8> phelan, download the 14 day trail version
<9> even piping it doesnt work :(
<18> Hi everybody. Would the Mac live CD work on pre-G3 PowerPC processors, or do I really need a newer Mac?
<8> phelan, that looks like it was made for slackware not ubuntu
<10> amphi Hmmm I tried that it made it a little better but it's about 1 second off.
<19> When I start some programs, I get two instances. One of them works, but the other just sits there, doing nothing. Any idea of what makes this happen?
<5> !oldworld
<16> somebody said oldworld was to install on an old world powermac, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/OldWorldMacs
<3> ghb: what programs?
<0> wow, i like how it just told me .deb is not supported...
<5> oemg: Maybe that will offer some clue?
<19> _jason: So far firefox and xfe
<18> Oldworld?
<20> can someone help me with sound problem?
<4> Ompaul: I have the trial version as well, which is just a 20-someodd mb sh file
<9> andrew_: depending on the .deb
<3> andrew_: generally things are installed through synaptic, .deb's for ubuntu work as well
<8> phelan, so sh that >> sh long-file-name <<
<17> phelan: install the trial, and if you like it, buy it
<7> How do I repair Ubuntu with the CD? I'm having some troubles right now (Ubuntu let me uninstall X, because it wouldn't load it anymore after I updated it... now it won't let me reinstall it) and I'd like to just repair
<7> I didn't see it anywhere on the installation CD
<18> I guess that you require to do strange things before Ubuntu Live will boot on a pre-G3.
<10> anyone have any more pointers for mplayer for video/audio sync? I'm getting like a 1 sec delay on video after audio? I did the + and - in mplayer but it made a little difference not a fix it.
<8> naetrick, >>>> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop <<< will sort that
<21> can you put kde desktop on ubontu i know there is kubuntu but i was just wondering
<7> ompaul: Thanks :)
<5> AntMaz: Sure. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or just sudo apt-get install kde, depending on whether you want everything that comes with Kubuntu or just adding on KDE.
<7> ompaul: But it says it depends on X, and when I try to apt-get x11-common, I get errors
<8> AntMaz, yes _but_ it will not be optimised for the solution and will need all sorts of bits a pieces which are not in the base KDE to be ubuntu
<4> Ompaul: Brings back the error that no such file exists
<22> naetrick wouldn't it be the package xserver-xorg?
<4> Ompaul: Used cd to get to the directory I just put the sh in and everything. :S:(
<23> Hey someone knows how to use Gtkpod to put songs on an ipod? The interface is so crappy, i can't seem to figure it out.
<21> can i find that at the ubuntu site
<7> Profichilla: It depends on x11-common
<8> phelan, ehh do this >>sh ./failname<<
<5> AntMaz: Find what?
<24> lol
<17> the transgaming web page ****s by the way. i can't even find the game database easily
<24> mm
<22> naetrick I see.
<22> So memory failed me. :(
<9> grrrrrrrrr @ build-dep
<7> dpkg: error processing .../x11-common-6.9.0... (--unpack); trying to overwrite '/etc/X11/rgb/txt' which is also in package xrgb; dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (broken pipe): e: subprocess dpkg returned error code 1
<25> how do I configure gnome to play an mp3 whenever my mouse is over the file in a browser?
<4> Ompaul same error
<7> how might I fix this?
<26> !kde
<16> rumour has it, kde is A powerful, free desktop environment for UNIX. IRC: #kubuntu #kde ; install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
<8> naetrick, sudo apt-get install foo <<should install all the bits foo needs
<21> im a not even a weekinto using linux so i dont know much about it i got mepis on my other pc and that has kde and i like it better than gnome
<7> ompaul: Read the error I'm getting in my last post :)
<8> phelan, now you have me confused let me thing
<21> i hate micrososft with a p***ion
<17> ooh! they clame that worms armageddon works!
<4> Ompaul: Heh, np. Sorry. :S
<7> AntMaz: Same
<27> how do I get VLC to play full-screen?
<7> topyli: Unfortunately, it does not :(
<2> AntMaz: careful, Ballmer might throw another chair
<17> naetrick: no?
<17> :(
<8> phelan, think
<28> how can i find out about my cpu from the command line?
<29> AntMaz: welcome to the club and you can pay your club dues at the desk :)
<26> If I use Ubuntu, is i tpossible for me to install KDE without installing Kubuntu?
<5> AntMaz: So you probably want soley KDE then, and would rather just lose Gnome and use it instead, but have a default install done. Correct so far?
<7> For me, at least. You may have different results
<7> I tried contacting the guy who got it working (and posted the screenshot), but he never responded
<30> darthbutcher, yes, it is
<27> Stork: cat /proc/cpuinfo
<13> Stork: cat /proc/cpuinfo
<25> stork: type top?
<7> It loads for me, but crashes when I open up the weapons menu
<21> yea
<26> pm: How?
