Comments:
<0> Although I think mIRC removed it from under File.
<1> Stormx2, say, your command is "~/bin/cat", and you can do "cat foo", now you want to run for all files in a folder?
<2> thoreauputic: I think thats broken because of spaces... hmmmm
<2> dli: Yes.
<3> Stormx2: spaces are a pain - there are scripts for replacing spaces with underscores, for example
<2> There was some way with exec {} or something I was told ages ago but forgot to write it down
<1> Calgar, I blame ubuntu, what's wrong with calling it, "Synaptic/Package manager" :(
<3> Stormx2: you can also do it with sed, but don't ask me for a sed command :)
<4> dil: its a differnt program all together......
<1> Stormx2, find /whatever/path -type f -exec cat {} \;
<2> Thats it.
<4> dil: oh, a right click and close fixed it *shrugs*
<2> Cheers
<5> so like.. are there actual help docs for ubuntu?
<5> ..
<5> 'cause i mean, i can't seem to find any relevant or useful info off the sites.
<5> and firefox is crashed and won't open now..
<6> eristikophiles: lots
<5> and uh.. yeah.. i think i should reboot. only, i wanna save my settings.
<7> eristikophiles: what settings?
<5> so i have a usb flash drive but i can't tell how to save settings.. and now i can't even look at help sites
<8> hi
<5> popey- like, the fact that i made changes to prefs in xchat, for example.
<7> eristikophiles: is this the live cd?
<5> yeah
<7> eristikophiles: is the usb flash device mounted
<5> ayup
<8> which one I should downloads http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php ??
<7> eristikophiles: you could copy your compe directory to it
<7> eristikophiles: sorry, your home
<6> eristikophiles: save the ~/.xchat2 folder to a USb thumb drive next time you restart put the folder back in the /home/username/ directory
<5> that makes sense.
<9> hm
<6> eristikophiles: then run xchat
<5> i guess i was expecting a livecd to have a gui app that automagically sets it up based on a prefs file which may be saved to usb flash or somesuch.
<8> which one should I download http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php ??
<6> eristikophiles: even smarter create a script that saves all the ~/./folders to the thumb drive
<10> sorry to disturb. but how do you install an app into ubuntu using the tarball?
<11> someone knows where i can pyjamas to sleep whith linux pinguim ?
<7> kieran: which app?
<6> kieran: whats the tarbal name
<10> firefox
<5> grr. i think i broke the home dir or something
<7> kieran: firefox 1.5 on breezy?
<6> kieran: dont have to install that just unpack it
<1> kieran, first, why tarball?
<7> !ff1.5
<12> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
<6> kieran: ok open a terminal
<7> linux_galore: hang on
<7> linux_galore: he's better off reading that url
<13> #1 file people forget to save before reformatting is...
<6> popey: my way is simple and short
<7> Bilford: ~/goat-porn/ ?
<6> popey: only 2 steps
<13> lol
<13> no, I think it's bookmarks.html
<7> linux_galore: doesn't matter, there's an official way
<7> Bilford: oh yeah, that too
<6> popey: unless you have audited every line the official way is stupid
<13> and IRC logs
<7> linux_galore: in your opinion
<13> GMail eliminates the need for saving confusing mail databases
<6> popey: if I havent got a proof of audit I just do it un userspace
<6> in*
<6> popey: and the laugh is it works fine
<7> linux_galore: what is that supposed to mean?
<6> popey: basically the whole thing doesnt leave /home
<7> this isn't for you, it's for kieran
<7> and it's generally better to get people to read the docus if they're available
<7> increase their understdnaing
<6> popey: this is also very easy to do
<7> rather than just bark commands at them
<6> popey: he can click on the folder an unpack it
<10> the readme just referred me to their website
<7> linux_galore: *I* know, you don't need to tell me
<4> this is odd, i seem to have to nslookup the ubuntu servers before installing applications or updating, otherwise it tries to resolve them as 1.0.0.0, can somone help me please?
<7> kieran, read the link below
<7> !ff1.5
<12> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
<6> popey: once it unpacked just add a link via the file manager and thats it
<7> linux_galore: *I* *know*
<7> jeez
<10> thanks
<14> calgar: are you running any proxy servers like squid?
<7> no probs kieran
<4> BlueEagle: uh, im behind a router, if that counts? otherwise, no
<14> calgar: what is your nameserver set to in /etc/resolv.conf ?
<6> popey: you have to be totally nuts that howto is bazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
<6> popey: no one tells a newbie to do all that
<6> popey: and why should they for gods sake they just want a browser to work
<15> give man a fish and he eats today, teach him to catch hes own fish and he has food for rest of hes life
<7> linux_galore: the browser does work
<6> popey: its nuts
<7> so are you going to be here 24x7 when kieran needs help? no.
<7> so we show him the site, so he knows where it is and what it has to offer
<6> popey: I compile the browser too but I would never tell a new user to do that they will go OK thanks for the help and do nothing, then a few weeks later there running windows
<4> BlueEagle: nameserver 192.168.1.1
<7> you're not going to convert me linux_galore, so I'd quit
<14> calgar: ...and that would be the IP to your router?
<4> BlueEagle: yeah
<6> popey: who cares about you your committing suicide at the communities expense
<14> linux_galore: If you think installing software in linux is hard, please make a better installer.
<6> BlueEagle: thats not an installer that a howto on compiling firefox
<7> committing suicide, linux_galore you don't know me, you don't know what I do for the community, don't talk to me like that, please.
<14> linux_galore: Then please make a installer that will install firefox on breezy.
<1> linux_galore, ubuntu is a binary based distro
<16> personally; I think what makes Ubuntu good is apt. telling people to go to some website, download a file, and install it is the windows way of doing things..
<6> BlueEagle: why? you dont have to, just download the official tarbal unpack it with a single click then add 1 link
<13> apt-get
<7> linux_galore: and when there's an incompatibility with ubuntu?
<7> linux_galore: or when they lose their plug-ins
<7> linux_galore: or their bookmarks?
<17> bit off topic but i have a question
<7> we'll send them to you
<6> BlueEagle: beats the hell out of the diarrhea in that firefox howto I just read
<17> anyone here have any experience rescueing data of a damaged drive?
<4> BlueEagle: so, its a problem with my router? any idea how to fix it?
<7> callie: much as it pains me to say it, spinrite.. http://www.grc.com/
<1> callie, how damaged?
<17> dli, that im not sure of yet
<16> hardware damage or filesystem damage?
<14> calgar: Does this happen with every server or just a few?
<6> popey: Ive done the same deal on multiple distro's across the whole office, every machine works not one single problem with that two step method
<18> I don't have sound in my headset now :S How can I check if its a hardware or software problem??
<1> callie, how critical is the data? if you lose it, you be shot?
<7> linux_galore: so?
<7> linux_galore: give up
<4> BlueEagle: just the ubuntu servers...... all the internet servers (google ect) work fine
<6> popey: your nuts
<7> it's "you are" or "you're" not "your nuts" thanks
<14> calgar: Well then I'm stumped.
<16> take the holy war to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
<7> sure
<17> dli, its mostly personal data and media files so it wouldnt be the end of the world but its stuff i've spent a long time collecting
<3> !ff1.5
<12> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
<6> popey: go and actually try getting windows users to use Linux, I have people who find even windows hard as hell using Linux, but I would never ever dream of getting anyone to do that howto
<17> dli, connecting the drive before boot causes a grub error
<7> linux_galore: you can stop now
<4> callie: if its hardware damaged, then you are going to have to pay a company alot of money
<19> does anyone know hot to configure GAIM so that instead of showing my groups, it shows just who is offline adn online
<1> callie, you may try a usb enclosure
<7> needlez: yeah, i think you can do that
<3> linux_galore: popey /join #ubuntu-offtopic
<20> callie: where was the data?
<16> first step in data recovery; don't do ANYTHING to the drive other that try to read from it..
<19> popey, do you know how>?
<6> popey: Im keeping that howto, Im actually going to use that as a "this is why Linux is stupid" and you comments in my next lecture on OSS and what needs to change
<20> callie: cd/ harddisk...?
