<6> Marcus, I couldnt get it to work so I abandonned and I installed mplayer
<16> how do you lewix
<20> dr_willis: it didn't seem to work. /dev/floppy isn't a directory. and when i tried /media/floppy and /media/floppy0, the .img file was 0 bytes.

<21> jorvis: for some reason www. in front of the url makes it not load, just type art.gnome.org
<16> i want to be able to watch dvd
<6> marcus: how do I what?
<16> install mplayer
<14> Marcus: use ogle
<16> where can i get it?
<17> LeoStewart: yuo mean an iso?
<15> LeoStewart, /media/anything is NOT what you want - you want the actual device for the floppy
<18> jorvis_ try method 1 in this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074&highlight=nvidia+breezy
<6> marcus: apt-get install mplayer
<14> though I haven't got dvd playback to work well yet (just installed today)
<15> LeoStewart, look for like /dev/fd*
<16> i cant use apt-get
<16> i already tried install it
<16> but it gives me "cant find packages"
<22> use adpt
<22> Adpt
<16> or couldnt stat source package
<20> dr_willis will do. thanks.
<22> Marcus: open up adept or synaptic
<21> jorvis_, did it work?
<18> marcus, have you added extra repositories yet?
<23> how does one mount an ext3 partition as read/write for all users?
<16> the multiverse universe?
<16> i think so
<14> Harold_P: did what work?
<18> ok good
<16> im not sure though
<18> synaptic is your best place to get started
<21> jorvis_ art.gnome.org
<14> ah, yes
<16> do i need an internet conenction to install packages?
<16> cause i dont have a modem for this laptop yet
<18> yes marcus
<17> /dev/fd0 ususally to /mnt/floppy or ubuntu /media/somehting
<18> but you can download them, but to do so you need to know the dependancys
<16> i have a dsl external modem that connects by ethernet or usb
<17> I can't believe people still use 3.5 inch
<16> but im not sure if i can get it working for ubuntu
<22> i do! how else can i transfer data?
<18> ok marcus http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ has all the files stored
<11> ryanr: by adding "users" and "rw"into the /etc/fstab line
<18> you can transfer them on a pendrive or a cd, but its a real h***le
<16> which one do i get
<9> argh - nothing works
<23> mutante: thats what i thought, and tried..but I still get permission denied...
<18> marcus remind me what you wanted to get working again pls
<20> Dr_Willis: worked like a charm, thanks mate! :)
