Comments:
<0> they both do the same thing, really.
<1> carpediem: i wouldn't mind dumping metacity
<2> but they don't create a home folder
<3> Draconicus: sudo adduser :)
<0> i guess adduser automagically makes a home folder
<1> carpediem: how arduous is replacing the gnome wm?
<4> the interwebs tell me to download a different version of mozpluggerrc, and then delete ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat
<5> Alright. I don't really need a home folder, particularly, but I'll do it the graphical way, for the sake of completeness... if that's a word.
<2> wastrel: same....and Fluxbox supports makeing the unfocused windows transparent!
<6> How do I chmod a folder?
<4> and supposedly firefox is supposed to regenerate pluginreg.dat, but it doesn't
<7> va chmod
<2> wastrel: it wasn't too bad, like I said, the lack of xinerama was the only problem.
<6> So, va chmod opt 777 ?
<1> lucky i don't need it :]
<0> uh, no, you need the octal before the path.
<8> i have a computer (which i will call comp1) with two ethernet cards. eth0 is connected to the internet, and eth1 is connected to another computer [which i will call comp2] using a crossover cable (peer-to-peer). in linux, is it possible to provide internet access to comp2 through comp1?
<7> nono, via chmod. 'chmod <permissions> <folder>'
<9> noclip, how about mozilla-mplayer?
<0> right.
<1> <3 mozilla-mplayer
<6> sudo chmod 777 opt ?
<10> move a file?
<2> wastrel: you just install fluxbox, then do this: echo export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/fluxbox >> ~/.gnomerc
<6> sudo chmod 777 /opt/
<11> I've found out my problem with captive...can someone send me the file NTFS.sys? It's an XP driver file.
<6> I am installing FireFox, and I need to Chmod opt.
<1> mlalkaka: absolutely, you'll need to set up comp1 to route internet packets for comp2.... but i don't have any idea how ;]
<10> are there any graphical filemanager so i can move a file as root without terminal
<0> rpz, i'm afraid we can't help you with that, as usage of that file requires a windows licence.
<4> tuxcicles: do i have to install yet another media player then? it'd be nice if there was a way to get embedded streaming video with just totem-xine (apparently other people have gotten it to work...)
<9> anyone here gotten hellanzb to work - it doesn't seem to like python2.3-twisted version and wants an older version of python than ubuntu has i think :o<
<8> wastrel, but will that allow both comp1 and comp2 to access the internet?
<12> Any idea why changing to metacity while in an IceWM session I would get a blank useless blue screen? Did it from System > Window managers > metacity in the menus.
<2> taylor_: sudo nautilus --no-desktop
<6> Can someone help me?
<1> mlalkaka: yes, you'll want to have comp1 running NAT i believe for comp2
<11> eobanb: fairly unfortunate...I have one, but now ive killed my windows install, i cant get it :(
<6> carpediem: I need to chmod: /opt
<6> chmod 777 /opt ?
<2> darthbutcher: you don't want to chmod the entire opt....
<13> crimsun, is there some work around to get xfce4-panel to remain visible and not crash?
<6> Then what do I do?
<2> darthbutcher: no, no, definitely not 777
<6> What would I do?
<0> 777 is generally a bad permission to set permanently.
<2> darthbutcher: chmod a+r /opt/firefox-1.5
<0> especially for a folder in the root directory.
<14> hey all
<14> :)
<6> I haven't made that folder yet.
<8> wastrel, thanks. know anything else? any bits of wisdom about this will be helpful
<6> I need to make the folder.
<2> darthbutcher: you mean to install firefox into opt?
<15> alright gn
<6> I need to make folder: /opt/firefox
<0> mkdir /opt/firefox
<2> darthbutcher: sudo mkdir /opt/firefox
<6> Thanks.
<6> :-D
<9> noclip, mplayer is really nice to use for VOB files though - mplayer is a better player actually as far as rendering video - totem is great for avi's though IMO
<4> tuxcicles: hmm... ok, i'll try it then
<16> hallo
<1> mlalkaka: not really, i haven't done any fancy routing stuff on linux for several years. NAT/connection sharing is what you'll be looking at.
<12> How to make MPLayer fullscreen stretch a small video to fill it?
<2> I find totem-xine works very well for all file types, totem-gstreamer performs like a dog on my machine.
<1> mlalkaka: i bought a linksys, which is sufficient for my needs nowadays
<16> tonyyarusso: echo "xo=xv" >> ~/.mplayer/config
<2> Player1: nice
<6> Thanks.
<6> I just updated it successfully.
<6> :-D
<2> darthbutcher: cool
<12> Player1: Can you explain?
<14> hey all is there a way to findout which app is using a particular port ? when i gave a netstat i saw a lot of non standard ports open and listening
<16> tonyyarusso: run that in a terminal. it will append the text "xo=xv" to the end of the file ~/.mplayer/config
<8> wastrel, i also have a linksys router. but all the wire ports are being used, and i don't have a wireless NIC. besides, i've heard that linux doesn't have much support for wireless NIC's, unfortunately.
<14> i checked in /etc/services but it was not listed there
<12> Player1: Yes, but what does xo=xv mean?
<16> tonyyarusso: chooses video output driver
<12> Player1: Okay.
<1> mlalkaka: i'm on with my laptop wireless right now :] it depends on your hardware
<17> heya all, compiling some stuff with g++ on ubuntu, and I get weird symbols like this. Any idea why? something with the character encoding? and any suggestions as to what to do, so I can read my error messages? bool
<16> tonyyarusso: man mplayer
<4> tuxcicles: so after installing mozilla-mplayer (which installs mplayer-386 and xmms), is there anything else i need to do to get embedded video to work?
<2> disasm: bet the guys in #gentoo can tell you, they look at compiler output all day long. ;)
<1> they don't pay attention to it
<8> wastrel, oh. what's your hardware? works perfectly? maybe i'll get it
<17> carpediem: i just switched back from gentoo, and never had weird encoding like that with gentoo ;-)
<18> okay, i need some help on a fresh install of dapper. on firstboot, eth0 has no ip and i've got no mouse... what should i do? (these problems occur in breezy as well)
<19> in terms of security, linux beats windows handsdown?
<1> mlalkaka: it's the built-in that came with my thinkpad
<2> disasm: (me too)
<1> Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
<8> wastrel, oh nvm.
<5> Madraykin: Most definitely.
<8> wastrel, but it's good to hear that you're having success with linux on laptops.
<1> mlalkaka: i do have a pcmcia wireless nic that's supported also
<12> mlalkaka: Intel Pro Wireless 2915 (abg) works perfectly for me (built-in on a ThinkPad as well)
<2> disasm: wonder why that is, because I always used gnome-terminal in gentoo too
<12> mlalkaka: Even did my last installation over wireless.
<20> tonyyarusso: I don't know why people complain about Linux + laptops/wireless
<20> never had any problems with either
<20> ran Red Hat 9 desktop on an ancient laptop for awhile
<20> it never bothered me
<1> wireless can be difficult to get working
<20> wireless on my desktop didn't go badly either...had a belkin with Ralink chipset
<2> with laptops, there
<12> adriyel: I've had some weirdness with power management, but there's a very non-zero chance that's my own darn fault.
<17> carpediem: good idea, just tried in gnome and it looks fine so must be something finicky with aterm...
<20> tonyyarusso: powerd?
<21> luisito, hola :D
<2> with laptops, there's two points of failure, PCMCIA and the Wifi card, so more problems
<8> tonyyarusso, this is good to hear; my brother may be getting a laptop soon. maybe linux will be on it.
<5> carpediem & disasm: Ah! You are also ex-gentoo-users who possibly ran Debian prior to that? :D
<12> adriyel: Suspend/Hibernate don't go through.
<17> Draconicus: yeah ;-)
<2> disasm: ohh, aterm. yeah, who knows.
<1> Draconicus: heh that describes me
<1> debian->gentoo->ubuntu
<12> mlalkaka: Hopefully!
<5> It's funny how things turn out, isn't it? :P
<4> hmmm... the ubuntu wiki just says to install mozilla-mplayer, with no further instructions
<1> some other distros before debian too
<4> but that doesn't do it for me
<7> !info mozilla-mplayer
<22> mozilla-mplayer: (MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla), section multiverse/misc, is optional. Version: 3.05-1ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 366 kB, Installed size: 1340 kB
<2> Draconicus: I switched from Windows to Gentoo two and half years ago, Ubuntu about 3-4 months ago.
<17> Draconicus: gentoo was too unstable for amd64, ubuntu is just right ;-)
<20> tonyyarusso: that ****s :(
<23> Hello
<4> cafuego: i just installed it, but i still get a page full of "missing plugin" puzzle pieces here: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rdalhoff/embedvideo.html
<2> disasm: really!? I was considering buying a 64, and thought I might need to go back to Gentoo to compile my own stuff, since not everything is in the 64 repos.
<12> adriyel: Yep. Planning to do a reinstall for Dapper, for various reasons, so if it's my fault that should fix it. (Only saving /home and /multimedia, separate partitions.)
<17> carpediem: every other thing i wanted to install i had to echo to /etc/portage/package.keywords and have the stuff I emerged broke
<5> Me+Debian: "Ah! Everything's broken! It's ALL broken! AHHH!" Me+Gentoo: "Yay! Source flavor! It's working! ...I think..." Me+Ubuntu: "Hmmm... Binaries install quickly... nothing's broken! I can still build from source! Hoorah!"
<24> hello, I was doing a apt-get when it printed an error "Segmentation faulty tree..... 50%" or something.. what is going wrong?
<2> disasm: yeah, I was doing alot of that too. I was breaking my system alot, and spending much time fixing it....which is why I switched. Are you running Ubuntu as 32 or 64?
<7> Draconicus: If debian was moe broken than Ubuntu, how did you manage to get it to that stage?
<7> s/Ubuntu?Gentoo/
<4> part #ubuntu later... =
<17> carpediem: 64 bit
<25> I messed up setting up mysql, and misstyped my root p***word for it, how can I recover
<5> cafuego: I accidentally mixed in SID packages back when Sarge was testing... :P
<25> I have no data stored in it yet
<2> disasm: and you aren't bothered by the lack of packages?
<18> hey all, when i dhclient eth0, i get "No DHCPOFFERS received" ... what gives?
<20> carpediem: now hold on here. 64-bit ain't bad. punk. >:(
<1> bzbb: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql
<5> cafuego: I only realized I had done so after I was on the cushion of Gentoo.
