<0> Coma: nfi, I was merely voicing general interest
<1> where is the beer cheapest?
<0> in `teh CZeSk'!
<0> I can't imagine the netherlands being overly expensive. I could be wrong though.
<0> afterall, they have oranje boom.
<0> "I'll have a POS beer-emulation thank yop"
<2> Must be your liver running dry
<3> too much blood in his alcohol system
<0> hm. perhaps I should do a "fatality" on my laphroaig collection this weekend.
<2> There's something I'll be suffering from shortly.
<1> ok I am now annoyed enough to buy a new apple power lead
<1> bbl
<0> Stegul: haaaa-haaaa.
<2> Hmm, time for a sip of coffee, I'd say.
<1> excellent
<1> now I have another one to destroy by sitting the laptop on my crossed legs
<2> How the hell do you destroy a powerbrick like that?
<1> it's the adapter plug thingie
<1> the thing that plugs into the powerbook
<1> it doesn't like being balanced on my knee :P
<4> "how many powerbooks does it take to sterilize one's self"
<1> it isn't anywhere near my balls, Fiver
<2> Not exactly what it's made for
<2> Fiver: You have them confused with a macbook (pro) :P
<4> haha
<2> There's no way to a get a G4 that htp
<4> Stegul: ah, of course not.. that would defeat the purpose of watching your pr0n ;b
<1> indeed
<5> hello! im on suse linux 9.2 ... what do i need to playback mp4, please?
<4> a better distro? ;b
<5> lol ...
<4> mplayer or amarok will do it, iirc
<5> i made mp4 with nero .. but they dont play ... in amarok ...
<2> You'll probably need a plugin for that to work
<5> oh well ... im "new" to linux ... i do stuff and once it works i never touch it again. i did a reinstall of ssue 9.2 because i got a 300 gig HDD and befoer mp4 was working tho even on a idle system it was always showing 0.5 load, but on the new install it doesn't work and a idle system shows correct 0.00 load ... i must have bent the old version somehow and i cant remeber how i done it ...
<5> :P
<5> some thing with "xine" i think it was ...
<0> sl0wlan: so, you're saying that the old system, that was "working" showed an incorrect load of 0.05?
<5> i think amarok and mplayer are just "frontend" ... like a skin or such .. but i think i neede a codec of some sort for the "backend" even tho i dont know what that would be ...
<5> yes ...
<0> wrong.
<5> yes tommi
<0> if it said it had a load of 0.05, it had a load of 0.05
<5> i used binary packets from packetman webiste maybe i installed something "bad" ...
<0> what the hell is packetman?
<5> what i tell u ...
<5> err ... it is a webiste that has pre-compiled binarys to install via Yast ...
<0> no matter what, it's likely that you need to install proprietary codec packages to get things to work.
<5> mp4 is properietary?
<0> I honstly don't know, as I havn't been spending too much time with video codecs the last couple of years. find out, I'm sure it's a FAQ
<5> well the linux server is right to the LCD which has a vga in, so i want the server to playback the mp4 so i can watch on 40' lcd ...
<5> : /
<0> and that has... what to do with codecs?
<5> i cant play mp4 on linux ... so no otput to tv ...
<2> just install xine/vlc/whatever with the proper codecs and be done with it.
<5> so many dependencies : ?
<0> so get a distribution that: a) doesn't **** arse. 2) doesn't lick microsofts nads. 3) handles dependencies in a sane manner.
<5> hey ... suse 9.2 is pre-microsoft ..errr ... sel out
<0> [1] and [2] are not as important as [3]
<2> It could also be considered ancient :P
<5> it got 2.6 kernel tho ...
<0> Coma: not important :P
<5> i think i will try with xine ... rah ...
<2> sl0wlan: So? 2.6 got relesed in 2004 :P
<2> released even
<5> is good kernel ...
<0> I 4 TEH mpl4Jarh!
<0> doesn't debian/stable have 2.6 nowadays?
<5> anyway i let it auto-update kernel and stuff .. so should be latest ...
<5> lol
<2> tommi: Not per default, but yes
<0> Coma: my point exactly :P
<2> lol
<0> Coma: if debian/stable has 2.6, having 2.6 is not a selling point in terms of being "cutting edge"
<2> Unless it's shipping with a git kernel
<5> what is git?
<0> newest kernel-fad.
<5> wat it do?
<2> The version control system used by most of the kernel developers (or atleast torvalds)
<5> tommi i get RPMs from site like this ... : http://packman.links2linux.de/
<5> oh, yes i remeber .. before was properietary "bitkeeper" ...
<0> sl0wlan: so, it's not official resources you're running from?
<0> Coma: oh, speaking of ancient. is "corellinux" considered that? :P
<5> hmmm? no ... i'm complete n00b to self compiling ... tho it wouldb e safer i think then getting binaries ...
<2> tommi: Under that moniker, yes. They sold out to xandros ages ago.
<0> sl0wlan: SuSE has official repositories. or atleast I'd guess so. if not, they **** more than previously imagined.
<0> Coma: good thing it's dpkg backend then.
<2> tommi: I'd still wipe it clean :P
<5> what u sing bistro i mean
<0> Coma: first thing I did when I was asked to `fix it' was to yoink debian stable into repositories and do a dist-upgrade :P
<2> tommi: And it survived?
<0> sl0wlan: it looks like a bistro, but handles like a steakhouse.
<0> Coma: yup, still running off debian/stable :)
<0> Coma: couple of years ago too.
<5> i think mines a sandwich bar ...
<2> Gotta love apt and friends
<0> Coma: but the issue/motd still says corellinux ;)
<5> oh well ... i need to go eat
<5> bb
<5> checkout www.roseonlinegame.com :P
<2> games r teh ****!
<0> yurk! 4 teh n00bz0r
<6> hey how can I execute a command on server startup but not have it run as root
<2> Use su
<6> NOT have it run as root ;)
<2> I got that the first time around. Like I said, su
<7> Read the su man page, then Use su
<2> NAME
<2> su - change user ID or become super-user
<6> oh ok
<6> sorry :)
<8> gotta run, see the doc .. bbl
<6> so thing is if I put this in my init file it still needs a p***word to run as a particular user right?
<2> Nope, since it's running as root.
<6> ok
<6> sweet :)
<6> so is /etc/init.d where I would put the command
<2> That'd be a good place to consider.
<6> ok so I made a new file, chmodded to 0755 like the rest of them, put #!/bin/sh at the beginning then put my command that should work right? if its in /etc/init.d
<2> Depends on what you mean with "work". If you want it to work along with the rest of sysv init, it won't.
<0> you'll need to fiddle it into place in the rc.d structure
<6> ok so I should put it in rc.d instead of init.d ?
<0> no.
<2> Nope, only symlinks go into the rc?.d dirs
<0> init.d is where the scripts are located. you symlink to it on the misc runlevels you want to start/stop it in.
<2> Maybe you'd been better off using something like rc.local instead
<0> hopefully using a tool like update-rc.d
<6> ok, so if its in init.d it won't be automatically executed until I put a symlink into one of the rc.x directories?
<2> two|face: Not just that, to make it work properly, it has to be an init script, honouring commands like start and stop
<6> heh, well is there a place I can just put a simple command? :)
<2> Take a look at anything else you find in /etc/init.d/, it'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
<2> two|face: That'd be rc.local then
<6> yep I looked at some of them
<6> ok
<6> that works for me
<0> which might be /etc/rc.local ;0
<0> ARGH! BEERTIME
<2> Atleast, most distros provide something like /etc/rc.local, from where misc. commands can be run.
<2> For some, it's easier to use rc.local than having to construct an init script :P
<6> so do I need to use the ampersand to tell it to go into background mode or is it not necessary
<2> Though if it also relies on proper shutdown and all, I'd go with an init script, too.
<9> 1) find a short /etc/init.d script which has the basic start/stop structure. 2) replace with your command. 3) use chkconfig if you have it to set up symlinks.
<0> Girr: I take it you're not a firm believer of PV and `teh slackw0re'?
<2> two|face: Which distro are you using?
<2> tommi: Where does teh slackware keep its initscripts? =)
