<0> hey is there a way to just boot ubuntu up as a terminal window ?
<1> Can anyone recommend any good software that will keep a local folder synchronised with a remote folder by FTP? I know of wget that downloads changes, and sitecopy that can upload changes, but I want one that does both. Changes are sometimes made to a remote file, sometimes to a local file.
<2> Anyone here know how to use dpkg-divert well?
<3> Cylindric: unison and rsync
<1> Thanks, farous_away, I'll have a look at those
<4> how do i do a m***ive file copy from one directory to another but only copying specific files in the parent directory and all subfolders of the parent directory?
<3> Cylindric: unision if you want to sync both simulatan. rsync most of one way
<5> Hi all
<6> Can anyone helpme please? I installed the EasyUbuntu and all are working I think, but the firefox plugins aren't working...
<4> does anyone know?
<4> is it even possible?
<7> ??
<7> j2daosh, have you thought about rsync?
<4> ....uh wrong person
<4> i just need to copy a grip of files from one location to another
<2> Is it possible, with dpkg-divert, to make a double-redundant diversion from two packages? For example, diverting package "skype" and it's /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/skype.bin using rename, and package skype-dsp-hijacker's /usr/bin/skype_dsp_hijacker to link /usr/bin/skype to it?



<7> cp from_dir/* to_dir ?
<4> the only problem is i cant figure out how to specify the exact type of file i want moved, where to get them from and where to move them too
<8> what can i change to other then metacity?
<4> ud think
<4> but there is about 400 .dll files i need to move from a parent folder on my desktop to the fake windows system 32 folder
<9> hi
<9> i have a big usb disc here with ubuntu installed on it... bios doesnt boot from usb ... made a floppy with grub.... editing in grub.lst
<9> usb disc is recognised as sda1
<9> in grub.lst i need something like hd0,1
<9> how to discover what sda1 should translated into xx0.0?
<10> Anyone have any luck with Xgl yet under Dapper?
<11> using growisofs, is speed= the variable for what speed to write at?
<12> whats the easiest way to install pine?
<11> cause in the wiki it says speed=2 but my dvd burner and disks can go up to 8 / 12 .. so can I usethose?
<13> danielgravenor: I would expect so; you can probably not specify speed at all, and it will do whatever the hw can
<11> amphi: thanks :) i'll try it out
<10> hey amphi :)
<14> GiGaHuRtZ, probably not - the developers are struggling to get it in...
<13> ah, GiGaHuRtZ ... ;)
<10> Didn't know you dabbled with ubuntu :)
<10> I'm about to try and see if I can get Xgl going under Dapper
<10> Should be a project....
<11> amphi: should i use /dev/whatever or atapi:/dev/whatever ?
<15> errr... help
<13> I don't really, just installed it for a friend who's trying/hoping to defenestrate herself, in the non-medieval sense of the word
<14> GiGaHuRtZ, you'd better wait a few days for an official upload :)
<10> Nah :)
<15> I forgot my p***word already
<10> I like experiments
<15> how do i retrieve it?
<16> I guess i'll have to fysically disconnect the writer :p
<16> can't find it in the bios
<14> meenfreem, boot into rescue mode, reset it with: p***wd username_of_normal_user_here
<10> Seveas, If I can do a complete working LFS install, I think I can get Xgl working :)
<13> danielgravenor: I only use cdrecord; I use -scanbus to find the device, and then put it /etc/default/cdrecord so I never need to worry about it again
<14> GiGaHuRtZ, :)
<15> thanks seveas
<13> GiGaHuRtZ: bah, too easy - get xgl working on the hurd, at least ;)
<16> ompaul: I only find one "CD-ROM" in the bios :s
<10> hurd? cmon now...
<10> heh
<2> Seveas !
<17> Grifken, don't know what to say
<10> It just stinks that all the progress for Xgl is coming from the "Bloated" distros IMO
<2> Seveas: Maybe you could help me. Do you know dpkg-divert at all well? :)
<10> Psi-Jack, still on Gentoo?
<18> GiGaHuRtZ: they are the ones with the money to piss away on such pointless ventures
<14> Psi-Jack, not as well as I'd want to
<19> personally, that whole 3d cube desktopping looks cool and all, but i just know it'll make me dizzy :P
<2> GiGaHuRtZ: It's on my other HDD, but I may be getting away from it.
<10> Ng, yup exactly
<0> how can i configure my internet to work from a terminal window of ubuntu ?
<10> I hope to learn from how they are doing it and be able to apply it to other distros
<2> Seveas: Heh. I'm trying to do some nice trickery with the skype packages and dsp hijacker and rename skype to skype.bin and symlink the hijacker to skype.
<20> the cedega is avaliable for amd64 systems?
<10> Psi-Jack, didn't you try to get Xgl going?
<2> Seveas: I just don't know how to do a double-redundant divert like that, IF it can even be done.
<15> seems that i forgot my username LOL
<18> there's a forum post about getting Xgl if you really care that much
<14> Psi-Jack, alias skype=hijacker, in the hijcaker use the complete path :)
<21> where can i get the win32 codecs ?



<15> any tricks to see which users there are?
<16> :)
<21> i need the deocders to play a movie
<21> why
<10> Ng, nah I'm good working on it by myself
<21> and where can i get thekm
<13> meenfreem: cat /etc/p***wd
<21> *them
<22> adam: refer to the wiki on ubuntus home page...look for restricted formats
<2> Seveas: Hmm,. That's one way... But that's not the greatest way. It would be much better to use divert methods, as that would work at the package-level.
<21> what?
<2> GiGaHuRtZ: No, I don't.
<14> !w32codecs
<13> meenfreem: or even cat /etc/p***wd | cut -d: -f1
<23> w32codecs is, like, totally, a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
<0> how can i configure my internet to work from a terminal window of ubuntu ?
<10> Psi-Jack, oh I thought thats what you were messing with Xorg7 for on Gentoo :)
<2> `underOATH: Great way to get help., Flood. GET LOST.
<24> Is it possible to use networkmanager without a dhcp server. It won't remember my dns :(
<0> lol when i ask no one helps me
<22> adem, go to the wiki on ubuntu.com and refer to restricted formats
<2> `underOATH: So you become rude, obnoxious, and make people angry with you? Great idea! GET LOST!
<21> english?
<13> `underOATH: your question is too vague
<0> ....
<13> `underOATH: your question is too vague
<22> Adem:just go to ubuntu.com and click on the wiki tab
<15> thanks amphi :D
<14> adem, look at the w32codecs thing ubotu just gave :)
<3> !tell `underOATH about wifi
<22> w32codecs allow you to listen to proprietary formats...
<25> which connection `underOATH
<13> meenfreem: the second reduces the clutter somewhat
<0> wifi..?
<15> seems like i can fix X server but i can forget my new log in :D
<25> modem, isdn, dsl?
<25> or via a router
<0> it's an ethernet conection to cable internet
<19> meenfreem, man of many talents, arent you ;)
<3> `underOATH: ifconfig
<15> elkbuntu, man with short term memory more likely
<25> what dou you get if you type ifconfig ?
<2> Seveas: The only problem I'm having, is I can get one divert working. like renaming skype to skype.bin, but then when I try to divert the hijacker, it says it clashes with skype.
<13> `underOATH: sudo dhclient eth0 or whatever the interface is should do
<0> lemme try that amphi
<19> meenfreem, ;) i'd trust valuable databases with you anyday, i know you'd never get into them :P
<14> Psi-Jack, that's already way over my head, sorry
<13> `underOATH: that's all I have to do with the revolting motorola cable modem here
<3> `underOATH: you should look at the wiki netowrk config is the first on the list ;)
<0> alright lemme plug it in and try it :P
<2> Seveas: Hehehe. Alright. Maybe if I just made a manual symlink for skype to the hijacker, and kept the local divert going for skype to skype.bin, it'd work.. Hmmmmmmm..
<13> `underOATH: how many ethernet interfaces do you have?
<0> i donno ?
<25> ifconfig would show
<19> bedtime... have fun folks
<3> `underOATH: by the way eth0 should work out of the box
<15> elkbuntu, and now for the wireless network :D
<0> well it doesn't work farous_away :/
<21> now i get this error
<21> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
<21> E: Unable to lock the list directory
<19> meenfreem, do you remember who your provider is ;)
<2> Seveas: That skype package on your repo, did you bundle it, or is it Skype's own bundle?
<3> `underOATH: do you have gnome you can use the gnome applet network to config it
<13> `underOATH: sudo ifconfig -a would show all interfaces
<0> alright
<21> now i get this error
<26> i've never been able to get the skype package from apt or the debian download on their site to work, i have to resort to their compiled statick binary from the skype site Seveas Psi-Jack
<27> #ubuntu-es
<21> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
<3> other than tha in a window type man ifconfig to see how it work
<27> #ubuntu-es
