Comments:
<0> Fujitsu: ah, that's what I was trying to get to... thanks
<1> just as a refresher can someone tell me the path to the wine folder? :D
<2> can anyone tell me the symlink to get java working in ububtu6 ... please ?!?
<3> To anyone with any advice: is there a way to safely remove previous images of Ubuntu after and upgrade, or do they depend on one another?
<0> Fujitsu: I knew there was a repo I needed to enable for that
<4> Which reminds me... I need to update that page.
<5> JohnsonE: Eek.
<4> bobertdos, images?
<4> bobertdos, kernels?
<3> Well, yes, kernels
<1> sorry, i'm still horrifyingly new to linux.
<6> anyway to get simple effects such as drop shadows without compiz?
<5> JohnsonE: What functionality do you require?
<4> bobertdos, just remove the linux-image-2.6.15-whatever
<7> nickrud: sorry for taking up ur time on this , and thank you
<0> what media player are you guys using that loads within firefox also?
<4> bobertdos, just don't remove linux-image.2.6.15-23 :)
<4> RamiK***ab, try mplayer-plugin
<1> troy: i just need the path to my drive_c folder
<8> AdmiralCrunch, yes
<9> How many people here are using dapper with multiple distros on the same machine?
<10> mozplugger
<11> johnsone: ~/.wine/drive_c
<12> RamiK***ab: vlc-plugin
<0> ok
<4> JohnsonE, ~/.wine/drive_c
<13> I have a Thinkpad T40. I had a USB keyboard for a while... and ever since using the USB keyboard on the laptop, the keys on my regular keyboard are not mapped correctly in X. How can I fix this? My xorg.conf doesn't look any different!
<1> thanks
<6> chavo, could you tell me what must be done?
<14> winbond, np, I field that type of question here
<5> JohnsonE: But you might want to consider mounting it instead of utilizing Wine and such... what are you running under Wine?
<2> can anyone tell me if I need a symlink to make Java run in ubuntu 6
<0> Fujitsu: thanks
<4> crafteh, have you configured the correct keyboard map in Sytstem->Preferences->Keyboard?
<11> crafteh: you'll need xmodmap
<4> ubotu, tell river about java.
<14> winbond, we do what we can do
<11> or that :-)
<4> river, ubotu will have sent you instructions about Java in Ubuntu 6.06.
<0> cesperanc: is that better than mplayer? I have VLC for windows and I know it supports a wide array of formats
<8> AdmiralCrunch, you have to enable the composite extension in xorg.conf and then run a compositing manager
<5> RamiK***ab: VLC is very powerful. mplayer is great too... different tools really.
<15> hmm, what's the best firewall for linux?
<16> mplayer with good skins is nice.
<13> Fujitsu, yeah its the US one
<7> nickrud: which bittorent client do u use?
<16> mcpowley linux is a firewall. default installations have no open ports.
<5> RamiK***ab: If you need to set up a media jukebox, VLC is the way to go. If you want a simple plays everything but menus thing -- mplayer is great. mplayer is also useful for converting media.
<12> Hi. I'm trying to build firefox 2 with ubuntu to test a localization, but I'm getting an error when compiling the file "libgfx_gtk.a". There are some undefined references to xft... Someone knows how can I solve this?
<5> mcpowley: It comes with iptables... the only firewall.
<14> winbond, I drag a torrent I want to the desktop, and double click it. I have no idea what apps does the download
<13> Fujitsu, is there anyway I can force it to reconfigure/detect the keyboard? It worked before I used the USB one and the xorg.conf looks exactly the same.
<5> thomasM: No open ports does not quite equate to a firewall. You need a packetfilter, and that is what iptables handles.
<0> troy_s: if I install both will it cause conflict within firefox? of course, those are just the plugins so to get the standalones I need to download those separately
<17> mcpowley, also install firestarter for a gui for iptables
<18> hey, if I just restarted my computer and haven't logged in, can i vnc to the machine and login???
<4> crafteh, try in System->Preferences->Keyboard. Check the layout.
<15> oh, I see
<5> RamiK***ab: No. Mplayer has a moz plugin etc.
<16> mcpowley you can use nessus though to see if you have open ports you don't know about though.
<17> MystaMax, try it, probably
<19> how i move a folder from my home directory to apt ??
<5> mcpowley: If you want a gui to access iptables, try firestarter.
<15> also, is there any need for antivirus on linux?
<4> thomasM, nmap is useful for such things./
<15> ill check firestarter out then
<4> SAM_theman, what do you mean?
<0> troy_s: could I install both vlc-plugin and mplayer-plugin to see which I like?
<14> SAM_theman, that is a really wierd question.
<0> troy_s: or just try one at a time
<13> Fujitsu, the layout looks good to me ... "Generic 104-key PC" with "U.S. English" layout
<19> lol
<16> thomasM, but nessus has a sweet gui, dunno if you've heard of such things.
<16> and i just said my own name...
<18> xice, thanks. anyone else have a more solid answer???
<16> :l
<4> crafteh, odd.
<5> mcpowley: All computers are subject to exploitations. Whether or not you require a virus checker is up to you. A virus checker is far down the food chain of computer security however.
<7> nickrud: do u know how to install a app thats .rpm and its dependencies?
<4> crafteh, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal.
<5> winbond: alien the rpm
<4> winbond, use alien./
<4> ubotu, tell winbond about alien
<20> troy_s: what's farther up the food chain?
<13> Fujitsu, ok
<14> winbond, no, I went to debian for dependency resolution. What app?
<4> Oh.
<4> Dependencies as well.
<15> troy: I see, are there any recommendation you would have for a linux newbie to install for security essentials?
<4> Won't happen...
<5> drumline_: Education. Knowledge. By the time you have a virus on your box, and you are requiring a checker to protect you, you are in some serious trouble.
<4> mcpowley, nothing, if you don't install any services. Antivirus is right down the bottom of the list.
<20> troy_s: got it.. agreed. :)
<5> mcpowley: Learn how the system works. As a general rule of thumb: Any running process is subject to exploitation.
<20> troy_s: by the time you got the virus, you've already failed some serious rudimentary tests...
<21> I got a new startup/shutdown screen from www.gnome-look.org and i'm not sure where to install it... I have a .cfg file and a grpahic
<22> in Kubuntu - what's the hotkeys for swtiching between terminals/shells in Konsole ?
<14> winbond, Fujitsu basically said it all about rpms & dependencies in ubuntu
<0> ok I'm gonna play around with some things, thanks for the help guys
<5> mcpowley: If that process opens external ports, especially on a LAN or the net, then you have a theoretical hole to remote attack.
<0> I'll be back later, once I update xchat :)
<20> Hitachi makes a cheapy SATA II NCQ drive... Yee Haw!
<4> RPM is a silly format, especially if you want to use it with a Debian-derivation.
<4> See you, RamiK***ab.
<7> nickrud: i wanted to install the original bittrrent from bittorrent.com
<23> What should I install on drapper to make my browsing experiance similar to windows, there is so much that does not work. Is there an install package that would bring things up to snuff?
<5> drumline_: Exactly.
<16> RPM is weak sauce.
<0> Fujitsu: later man, again, I appreciate it
<4> winbond, why?
<4> winbond, there is a package for it.
<5> bootlick: Learn what you need. Add only what you need.
<4> RamiK***ab, no problem.
<24> i have an old laptop thats running xubuntu (its the bait machine to keep roommates from asking to use mine for email), and it only has a 1.5G hard drive which is full. /usr/share is taking about a third of the drive, and about another third is in /var/. anything i can safely rm for starters?
<0> troy_s: thanks!
<16> bootlick... similar to windows.. firefox runs on windows you know.
<5> bootlick: Educate yourself in the process.
<5> RamiK***ab: Glad I could help.
<24> and what does ubuntu genereally put in usr/share?
<20> mcpowley: don't ever use a Peer to Peer network. :)
<14> winbond, I have no real interest in figuring out how bittorent works in ubuntu, cus it just does
<5> gnat_x: It used to be a dir for files that one could share across platforms.
<7> Fujitsu: yes , but its old version, ...i want to install it because i dont really like ktorrent and want to try different apps
<23> thomasM yes, and in firefox for windows, i can watch a swf clip with sound, linux, no deal
<4> gnat_x, /var/cache/apt/archives is safe to delete.
<23> Does anyone have sound for this?
<4> winbond, what is the current official version?
<5> bootlick: Now you are into specifics.
<25> Alrighty... I got a question (warning!! newbie alert). I have been trying to install/boot dapper on my old presario 1200 laptop, it goes through the process normally untill it reaches "Configuring X..." when it will go to a black screen (with a blinking cursor) access the CD for a couple of minutes and then stop. (sorry for the lengthy discourse..)
<1> all that work and FL Studio won't even work with wine.
<23> http://dojo.fi/~rancid/loituma__.swf - running linux
<20> bootlick: I have sound for SWF files...
<15> troy_s: Are there any websites that have some explanation of the basics of linux...or a book I could purchase?
<5> bootlick: SWF is Flash, so you will need to add flash from the repos if you are on 32 bit.
<7> Fujitsu: 4.4.0
<15> drumline_:That includes bittorent and frostwire?
<26> google has ooooodles of linux tutorial links.
<23> I have flash running, I can see the animation, but no sound
<5> mcpowley: I _strongly_ encourage you to purchase "How Linux Works" from no starch press.
<27> hello, i've 100gb hd but when it's mounted only 50gb is seen, anyone knows why? thanks
<19> http://pastebin.com/703752
<14> tldp.org, again: tldp.org
<20> mcpowley: any peer to peer... that does include bittorent... I dunno what frostwire is...
<19> what the hell that means???
<5> bootlick: Ok, the sound is a specific to one of the flash installs. Did you install "Flash nonfree from the repos?
<23> no, i dont belive so,
<23> i will do that
<20> mcpowley: the issue is that it's a means for unchecked communication to travel back to your box through your firewall...
<4> bootlick, a number of people are having this problem.
