<0> I can't do in linux, what i need to do with windows. haha
<1> lol
<2> heh
<2> awpti: well, the fact that you never even tried to give anything back ends this imho, you're just here looking for some attention then
<0> god damn.. someone created a directory with no name. it's not even a directory named as a space.
<0> yeah, i'm only looking for attention. *waves* look at me!
<3> What's with the idea that you can *only* use Linux, or *only* use Windows, or *only* use whatever? Your average FOSS parrot thinks you're in league with Satan if you use anything but Linux, no matter what the job is, but isn't the idea to get the job done?
<4> there's your attention.
<1> awpti didn't notice you try jumping up and down
<0> bronaugh, harder!
<4> you like pain eh?!
<0> oh baby, do I ever ;p
<3> So use Windows, use Linux, use whatever, as appropriate to the job.
<2> mwilson: people are too keen to complain but are never prepared to do anything about it.
<2> they expect some omniscient and omnipotent spirit in the sky to listen to their complaints and fix it for them
<0> That's what it comes down to in the end. I use winderz on the desktop, and Linux as a server. I'm in the middle of moving a buncha crap IIS boxen out of this network.
<5> i am so loving linux i got ultima pretty easy to get around only a few things i gotta figger out like how to make certain dvds and vcds and divx movies to play
<5> and how to install certain things to
<4> mplayer
<3> libv: It's not Linux particularly that puts me off, it's the parrots.
<3> libv: I use Linux in spite of them, not because of them.
<6> ok, none of that worked
<0> i really do wish there was an omnipotent spirit in the sky that could fix all the problems of every OS in the world. Imagine the perfect OS? :p
<5> oll try again on the mplayer
<6> windows firewall still wouldn't give access to settings even in safe mode
<3> What's perfect for you is almost certainly not perfect for me.
<6> and booting with ubuntu didn't connect to the internet the same way mine does, so that didn't work either
<6> i am really tired, i'm gonna take a rest for awhile
<5> just disable it and get a 3rd party fire wall windows xp firewall is more of a menace then a help anyways
<6> bbl for further ***istance
<0> Wise-Guy, might i suggest a stick of dynamite and a lighter? :)
<6> yes, but it's not a terrible computer, just terrible windows
<4> mwilson: with the exception of the embedded circle, a system with the kernel architected in a fault-tolerant way, perhaps using managed code for the kernel, would be ideal.
<7> houray, I fixed my nfs problems :)
<0> Alright, little less.. lightsabre. that'll teach it. or a hammer labeled: Computer Use only.
<3> Finally read the man page?
<7> nope, hardcore testing :)
<7> turns out I put two mounts on the same path :P and then brilliantly figured out why it simply did'nt work
<5> mplayer wont work well for me
<4> "well" how?
<5> must be something im not doing right
<5> giving me an error
<7> did you send money to microsoft?
<4> and what's the error?
<7> that usually helps correct unknow problems after multiple genuine ms updates :)
<5> trying again
<5> error opening /initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
<4> so uhh.
<4> what video card do you have, and what video driver are you using?
<4> next, run xvinfo
<4> and xdpyinfo
<4> they should give some info.
<5> i have a 256mb raden saphire pci express
<4> if xvinfo says xv is not available you have a problem.
<5> in terminal knosolde right?
<4> is it an X300? an X700? an X1300? an X1600? what?
<2> amazing how the size of the framebuffer is the first thing mentioned
<4> yes.
<5> just sec ill find the box
<2> guh.
<2> mwilson: fb is simple, X is the evil one
<4> mwilson: it ****s, yeah. but imagine a network framebuffer. transparently use multiple machines as extra displays.
<2> bronaugh: xdm? :p
<4> libv: heh, I don't think xdm can do that.
<4> I'm talking about xinerama over many machines.
<2> oh, err, dmx
<2> sorry
<4> hah
<4> dmx is something I have yet to experiment with.
<4> supposedly it works; though a friend of mine tried and had trouble.
<4> could be he's just not that good.
<2> never tried it myself either, but then, there's so much one can be trying with X
<4> yeah.
<5> cant remember what ver it is
<5> i got the drivers disk looking it to see what one it is i know to see it
<2> ^THE_HAMMER^: doesn't matter, run xvinfo anyway
<2> ^THE_HAMMER^: you probably will know wether you installed ATIs own driver or wether you are using ati
<5> why does linux lock the darn disk drives
<2> (the latter being the kludge that is the X ati driver)
<2> ^THE_HAMMER^: you did, or your system did it for you
<5> no adapters present
<2> well, there you go
<5> im trying to pull a cd ouyt and its not letting me
<2> because it's mounted
<5> not lertting me close mplayer also
<5> and theres no darn vid in so dunno why it wont close
<5> ahhh lol nm i see why
<5> i had that error open
<5> says i dont have any adapter present for vid
<5> gonna look at disk on wifes pc asnd ill tell u what it is
<5> now it wont l;et me explore
<5> on her machine heh trying other rom
<5> i think its 5500 or some **** like that i forget
<4> you haven't answered the "what ATI chip" question.
<8> Fiver,
<2> bronaugh: nor the driver thing
<2> bronaugh: but he's going to look at the "driver cd" for that information
<4> uhh. yeah.
<5> i cant find it
<5> i been searching and searching
<5> i know its 256mb sahpire raden pci express
<5> i cant recall anything else about it off hand
<4> libv: checked out synergy2?
<8> hi Gaia^
<4> looks like .. interesting, software :)
<9> b0o
<4> yo Gaia^
<9> bronaugh watchas
<4> listening to music.
<5> dam this is driving me nuts i cant find the stupid box for my vid card and cant find what ver of vid card i got and i got the cd in wifes machine
<9> bronaugh i sure is :)
<10> Person with the lame nick with the ^^'s in them that make it hard to do nick completion: lspci -v
<5> i got an idea ill brb guys gonna shut down and look right on the vid card in machine and look up the info and tell ya upon return
<2> fb size came first again
<2> reality: still doesn't answer the driver question which is much more important
<2> bronaugh: i have no idea what synergy2 is
<4> basically allows you to use keyboard and mouse on one machine to control multiple machines
<10> libv: Looked to me like he was asking what card he had
<10> Not that any amount of help will actually save that guy
<2> reality: yeah, not too focussed.
<2> but the fb thing is so typical.
<2> when people talk about notebooks, do they mention the size of the panel, or the resolution?
<10> Panel size
<2> same thing here. people care about the length of their organ more than anything else.
<10> I need a 9 inch XGA LCD
<10> For cheap
<5> ok i got the info from the card itself radeon x550 advantage 256mb
<11> My wurlitzer is 4 feet high.
<2> ah, xga, that i love
<2> that's covering up the real resolution
<2> "i dunno, it's SWXABCZGA"
<5> is there a command to auto install it?
<2> reality: even electronics stores carry those or smaller
<2> ^THE_HAMMER^: it's called X -configure usually
<10> libv: I want it ready to go with connections for VGA/DVI though
<2> DVI?
<2> nu-uh
<10> Why not?
<12> because I don't like you
<2> more often than not you'll get s-video, if you go for the slightly more expensive ones you get vga
<10> Ugh. Having s-video kind of defeats the purpose
<2> i don't know why not
<2> yeah, i know
<10> It's for the home projector project
<2> but it's like high-end CRTs, which still are being sold, still not coming with DVI-D
<2> yes, bandwidth, but we have dual-link for that
<10> Right now it's got a 15 incher in there but I want to decrease the size so I can put it into a smaller box
<5> ok anyone help me with getting my vid card going properly?now that i know the info ?
<2> reality: directly connected (aka TTL) or LVDS are your best options then
