<0> quacker : gnome uses now metacity
<1> cotfis, ubuntu is a 'pig' with either, but surprisingly quick compared to before
<1> need 256 MB just to do a regular install of Breezy now...
<2> quacker what is the newest version of kubuntu
<1> the gap between Gnome and Kubuntu really closed witht the last stable
<1> Dapper
<2> where kan i get it
<3> on the other side people buy computers where the graphics card has 256MB ram already
<1> now it's time to say RTF*M
<1> (*Funky)
<1> uhhh... ubuntu.com
<3> not ubuntulinux.{com,org,net}?
<0> ... or distrowatch.org
<1> Dapper is supposed to freeze ('go stable' -- hah!) sometime next month
<3> quacker, yeah. papa boss said he wants more testing
<3> it took me years to discover that the ubuntu founder is this crazy space traveller
<2> quacker why dapper drake isent stable?
<1> cotfis -- whatever: they registered a bazillion domains to make it easy -- if you're worried about spoofed sites, then use HTTPS and check that the signer is canonical.com which is in turn signed by an e-trust co
<3> quacker, i use Debian Sid, thank you :-p
<1> c13, because it's still 'in development'.
<2> quacker what is the difference?
<1> cotfis, like o/s like user -- hah!
<3> :-p
<1> c13, it's not like cotrfis -- that's what
<2> haha no really
<1> Devbeloment is what the little coder gnomes do when they make software.
<3> c13, stable = release; testing = beta software (there can be bugs); unstable = alpha software (untested)
<3> thats a raw scheme
<2> quacker you got dapper?
<1> until they declare something 'stable' their little fingers are still tapping keys, and hunting for exterminating pests.
<1> yes
<2> quacker you help the developpement or just testing?
<3> they are testing quacker!
<1> (PS: "Sid is always unstable" <-- Debian's codename for development)
<3> quacker, no, no. Sid is never finished. i am like a work in progress - always learning, always enhancing personality :D
<1> c13, I I wouldn't say that I help much. I just whine and bitch in the freenode IRC channels and in bug reports. Occasionally, I advocate a workaround to other masochistic devel branch lusers like myself until the codemonkeys get around to picking the right banana, thus making said workaround solutions wholely unnecessary.
<0> Ah, quacker , so you`re a freenode joiner too ? :)
<1> cotfis, I'm ahead of you there, bleeding-edge unstable-boy (girl)-- /ACTION goes for antoher Guinness
<3> quacker, you are nohooot. come with me to gimp.net and see many ubuntu maintainers whine after the debian maintainers cause they are waiting for upstream packages :D
<1> c_wolf, I never joined (successfully). After the registration bot borked p***words for a few favorite nicknames (making them unregisterable by ordinary means), I gave up on 'joining'.
<2> quacker what big bugs are in dapper? that are not in breezy
<3> and i dont need 3 different package pools also :-p
<0> `nite guys, gotta go
<3> nite c_wolf :)
<1> cotfis, read enough of that on launchpad and ubun-forums
<3> quacker, its sad. isnt it?
<1> c13 -- ummm, it tends to break after dist-up[grades
<3> quacker, in the long run i fear that ubuntu will slowly use its advantages
<3> (if they dont change that)
<3> use=lose
<1> you fear they w... ah so
<3> man i talk crappy today
<4> Does anyone know of a way in which I can have mplayer play a movie on my linux box while running it through a ssh session from my windows laptop?
<1> due me quack crappy too
<4> I used to know years ago but have since forgotten
<4> Don't laugh at me ;)
<5> harpoontang, perhaps it would be easier to use SMB
<1> You could do that YEARS AGO... ?!?
<5> or NTP
<6> I need some help with my MBR can some1 help me
<3> quacker, i would export the filesystem where the movie is on to the other box and play it there
<3> quacker, sorry. i meant harpoontang
<4> yeah I figured it out once but, never used it since and have forgotten.
<1> adikt, I'll just bet he wants to do it over the Inet from work
<5> s/ntp/nfs
<4> quacker - I think you guys don't understand what I'm wanting.
<1> ^Twiztid^, if you're editing it by hand, I doubt it. Many people here could advise re: grub/lilo/elilo/mbr
<3> harpoontang, i think you dont understand how much traffic such a movie requires
<4> My linux box is hooked to my tv. I want to ssh into the linux box from my laptop (on the couch) and run mplayer on the linux box so that it displays on the tv.
<1> You want to stream content from a 'server' over an encrypted session to your laptop.
<3> aha. now the question looks different.
<4> Quacker - now
<4> Quacker - no
<1> okay, explain then?
<6> actuially i was duel booting Mandrake and Win ME with Lilo and i formated my Fat32 and it reset the MBR and i cant boot into linux and i can't find my linux installation cd how can i boot into linux?
<4> ^Twiztid^ - google linux rescue CD
<1> ^Twiztid^, oh, that's simple. Just run grub from a rescue CD or reinstall Linux
<4> quacker - I want to ssh into my linux box and play a movie on my linux box while controlling it from my windows laptop
<1> harpoontang, using XDMCP ?
<6> quacker i dont have my installation cd
<4> ^Twiztid^ - google linux rescue CD
<1> ^Twiztid^, just about any live CD with grub on it will work
<6> i need to be able to do it on a floppy disk instead of a cd
<6> my burner is ****ed up
<4> quacker - I don't remember doing it with XDMCP - it was some options you set in the xserver config files and then ran some options with mplayer.....I just can't remember.
<1> If you don't have one, download one from one of the sites youfind... ah so
<4> ^Twiztid^ - google linux rescue boot disk
<1> harpoontang, are you sure you wnat to do this security-wise -- hohohoh-hahahaha...
<6> harpoontang im not blind u have said that like 3 times
<1> harpoontang, he did say his burner was (*#^$ed
<4> ^Twiztid^ im not blind u have asked that like 3 times
<4> quacker thats why I changed it to boot disk instead of cd
<1> He'll need to copy an ISO to a partition and chroot or something (or just use a boot floppy and grub off of a floppy)
<4> quacker - security has nothing to do with it. ssh is just easier since noone sets up telnet any more.
<1> thankfully, many distro include the isofs module at runtime, or even witht he kernel nopw
<1> harpoontang, I don't mess with that stuff -- I've only read about it, since I have kvms
<1> the most I do is VNC -- setting up an x-term server is beyond my scope
<1> harpoontang, do you wnat to playback on the 'local' console and NOT over the wire. I.e. mplayer runs on your local linux box, not on your 'remote' laptop?
<1> Then the issue is one of calling X processes from a shell which is not aware of, or not allowed to talk to the X-server. To enable this you DISABLE some security.
<4> quacker that is correct
<3> dzzzzz... germany lost 1 hour just now :(
<7> harpoontang: i can run mplayer from the console to X by using the "-display :0.0" flag
<2> whats the best distro out?
<7> heh
<3> i talked my soul out the last days about "whats the best distro". until i fixed some website up where i can point people to i refuse to say anything about that :)
<8> c13: BiasedLinux, of course.
<2> yeah or whats the best OS
<2> windows xp ?
<9> rumour has it, windows xp is microsoft's replacement for win2000&ME. Which you have to 'rent'! XP=experience?? rotfl!, or see factiod windowsxp, or at http://q3test.2y.net/~moyix/images/xp_fascist.jpg, or not on topic here
<2> windows vista
<8> yes, yes, that one.
<8> definitely.
<2> how to get it ;)
<10> i need help ?
<9> indeed, codemasterx
<3> LadyByte, hug
<8> c13: wait outside, we'll let you know.
<2> mysql****er did you try it yet
<10> can someone help with a Navyn OS related problem ?
<10> anyone ?
<11> hello?
<9> HI, sandip!
<11> hello?
<9> HI, sandip!
<12> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7481791789247956765
<13> LadyByte, jpeg2png
<1> My other braincell is back~
<1> joy!
<13> dang
<1> (oh, now he's gone again and I won't be able to both type and read at the same time)
<13> :D
<13> how can i convert a jpeg to png?
<13> i found a linux chick and i want her to be in my grub splashimage
<13> LadyByte, convert jpeg to png
<13> LadyByte, google convert jpeg to png
<9> google can't find convert jpeg to png
<1> neuron, can you /msg the bot?
<8> neuron: imagemagick.
<1> also, there are Debian packaged apps that convert nearly anything to jpeg and png (including *.raw files)
<1> apt-cache search (and front ends like Synaptic) are your friend
<8> quacker: imagemagick, most likely.
<14> Hi.
<13> mysql****er: fortunaly i have imagemagick installed
<15> neuron watch your language
<13> i`m using the mogrify vommand :D
<1> I found so many that I can't name jsut one -- except dcraw (which plugged into gphoto to get 'decrypt' proprietary RAW fromat images from an Olympus digicam)
