| uniq | any spelling mistakes in /etc/fstab? | 12:04 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | no not that i know of | 12:05 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | this is the first hard drive i ever partitiond in linux | 12:05 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | so i may be doing something wrong | 12:05 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i tryed using qtparted and makeing the changes in fstab | 12:06 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i must not be knowledgable enough to do it | 12:06 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i can tell you what i did from the start if you want | 12:07 |
| uniq | please do. | 12:08 |
| uniq | i'm a little busy with a meeting right now.. i'll try to answer you. but i might be a little slow. | 12:08 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | the hard drive was orginaly in a windows machene with an ntfs partition | 12:08 |

| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i thought i made the nessisary changes to fstab to allow the drive to be used | 12:09 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | but i either get a root error telling me that only root can mount the drive | 12:09 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | or that the drive dosen't exist or that access denied thing | 12:10 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | depending on what i do | 12:10 |

| Zhukov | cable all fine, gnome all fine | 01:32 |

| godsmoke | Zhukov: you have to TELL it to grab an ip | 01:32 |

| Zhukov | godsmoke: i know | 01:33 |
| Zhukov | all set up | 01:33 |
| godsmoke | KDE/Gnome should have nothing to do with this whatsoever | 01:33 |

| Zhukov | scotdb: no | 01:39 |
| Zhukov | i use it every time :D router here | 01:39 |
| godsmoke | that's a nonsense solution | 01:39 |
| Zhukov | godsmoke: the only one with some routers | 01:40 |
| godsmoke | no ... | 01:40 |
| godsmoke | your computer has 100% control over its acceptance of dns servers | 01:40 |
| Zhukov | scotdb: if you need to change the dns for a specific network, just sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf and let the network do the rest :D | 01:40 |
| Zhukov | godsmoke: some routers have conflicts with 2.6 kernels | 01:41 |
| godsmoke | that doesn't make any sense | 01:41 |
| godsmoke | the kernel doesn't control the file | 01:41 |
| Zhukov | they lock, for example 192.168.1.1 as the DNS server (router ip) and they cant go on. They just sit there and only after a wile they resolv it | 01:41 |
| godsmoke | that's a dhcp process | 01:42 |

| uniq | should work. | 02:22 |
| uniq | works for me, and i presume most others. | 02:22 |
| uniq | if it didn't help you can safely remove kdebase-dev then :) | 02:23 |
| mcquaid | now i actually used the meta pkg kde-core instead of kubuntu desktop to save some space | 02:23 |
| mcquaid | already did ;0 | 02:23 |
| mcquaid | i wonder if kde-core misses something that khotkeys needs? | 02:23 |
| mcquaid | i woudln't think so tough | 02:24 |

| seth_k | I'm not even seeing webcams as a supported feature of gyach. Does it even let you use them? | 03:19 |
| l1nux_friend | so ? | 03:20 |
| l1nux_friend | what program can i use | 03:20 |
| seth_k | there is very little webcam support on Linux right now | 03:20 |
| l1nux_friend | oke | 03:20 |
| seth_k | Gaim-vv is the closest we have to usable support | 03:20 |
| seth_k | but 1.2.0 is not very new | 03:20 |
| seth_k | Kopete is also starting to have rudimentary support | 03:21 |
| seth_k | and there will be good support in KDE 3.5 | 03:21 |
| seth_k | but right now, maybe something like GnomeMeeting? | 03:21 |
| l1nux_friend | but my web cam logitech,, can they support my cam | 03:22 |

| l1nux_friend | oke | 03:24 |
| seth_k | but tbh if you're a new Linux user, I'd advise to switch back into windows when you want to use webcam, and spend time learning about the other features of Linux for now | 03:24 |
| seth_k | Hardware support is getting better, but it is not there yet | 03:24 |
| l1nux_friend | oke i just compile that file | 03:25 |
| l1nux_friend | noo.... i hate windows | 03:25 |

| dlr_ | i think so also | 05:16 |
| seth_k | even though I think KDE is probably more bloaty when using the definition of bloat | 05:16 |
| seth_k | e.g., memory and drive usage | 05:16 |
| seth_k | gnome is just so slowwww | 05:16 |
| dlr_ | luna is the most bloated :) | 05:16 |
| monchy | and all the bloody programs it installs that you never use | 05:17 |

| jfields | is there a way to change the way the permissions are set up by default in kubuntu/ubuntu to how they are set up in other distro's | 06:26 |
| jfields | more linux like... instead of being so open | 06:26 |
| seth_k | give an example? Everything is really quite locked-down | 06:26 |
| jfields | well.... i dont like sudo | 06:26 |
| seth_k | ah | 06:26 |
| seth_k | you want a root account | 06:26 |
| seth_k | imo that is LESS locked down, but here's how | 06:27 |
| jfields | yes | 06:27 |
| seth_k | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo | 06:27 |
| seth_k | down at the bottom | 06:27 |
| seth_k | sudo passwd root | 06:27 |
| jfields | then i can su to root? | 06:28 |
| seth_k | that's correct | 06:28 |
| jfields | for things like compiling and synaptic | 06:28 |
| jfields | thanks alot seth_k | 06:28 |
| jfields | i appreciate it | 06:28 |
| seth_k | not a problem, that's what we're here for :) | 06:28 |
| seth_k | I'm glad I could help you | 06:28 |
| jfields | also... i was wondering ..... how goes the repository stability... as far as both package compatability and non breakage as well as server availability | 06:29 |
| seth_k | for Hoary? | 06:29 |
| jfields | because right now i'm on kanotix... and the kanotix server is down... | 06:30 |
| jfields | is that 5.0? | 06:30 |
| jfields | if so then yess | 06:30 |

| jfields | i'm looking for something stable that i can depend on.... like right now i'm trying to compile something that requires a library i cant get to because the server is down... | 06:31 |
| seth_k | yeah, it's a party monchy :P | 06:31 |
| seth_k | jfields, Ubuntu has been the most reliable distro I've ever used | 06:31 |
| jfields | monchy: would you care for some punch? | 06:31 |
| seth_k | mmmm punch | 06:31 |
| monchy | is it spiked? if so, yes | 06:31 |
| jfields | seth_k: which ones did you come from for a comparison? | 06:31 |
| seth_k | I used SuSE for almost a year before Ubuntu | 06:32 |
| jfields | yes it is... drink up | 06:32 |
| seth_k | hardware compatibility was great | 06:32 |
| monchy | ew suse | 06:32 |
| seth_k | but I hit RPM hell hard | 06:32 |
| monchy | i should smack you | 06:32 |
| seth_k | haha | 06:32 |
| === seth_k runs | ||
| seth_k | no more suse on my systems, i'm clean | 06:32 |
| === monchy throws a shovel at seth_k | ||
| jfields | was rehab hard?? LOL... | 06:32 |
| seth_k | before suse was mandrake... which turned me off of linux for close to a year :X it was terrible | 06:32 |
| monchy | ah yea i was guilty of trying mandrake too | 06:33 |
| seth_k | and before mandrake was red hat 9, which was tolerable. I got my intro to Linux on it | 06:33 |
| jfields | yea... same here... pclinuxos variant is imo MUUCH better than it's roots | 06:33 |
| seth_k | but slowww | 06:33 |
| jfields | only b/c of the apt system tho | 06:33 |
| seth_k | mmmmm apt | 06:33 |
| seth_k | i'll never go back | 06:33 |
| seth_k | i'm not even tempted | 06:33 |
| seth_k | :P | 06:33 |
| jfields | my background with linux dates back quite a few years.... my parents and I were at SAMS store and they had Mandrake 6.0 for sale... and i asked dad if we could get it | 06:34 |
| jfields | we got it... excited.... fired it up.... needless to say it left much to be desired | 06:34 |
| seth_k | lol | 06:34 |
| jfields | more background than that is that my dad and i have been working on comps for years so ... we're no idiots | 06:35 |

| _cory | can anybody help me with changing directory user permissions? | 08:00 |
| godsmoke | sure ... | 08:00 |
| godsmoke | what do you want to know, specifically? | 08:01 |
| godsmoke | the process is pretty simple | 08:01 |
| _cory | chown | 08:01 |
| _cory | didnt work | 08:01 |
| godsmoke | tell me what you did | 08:01 |
| godsmoke | chown is well-tested -- it works -:) | 08:01 |
| godsmoke | :)* | 08:02 |
| _cory | chown cory windows | 08:02 |
| _cory | lol yes i realize | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | uh ... | 08:02 |
| _cory | what i did was i mounted my windows partition to /media/windows and it will only let root view it | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | hahah | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | that has nothing to do with chown | 08:02 |
| _cory | fixable :-x? | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | you need to mount the partition with user permissions | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | mounting is not a "directory" | 08:02 |
| _cory | how do u do that? | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | it's a special process | 08:02 |
| _cory | oh ok | 08:02 |
| godsmoke | _cory: look it up -- you need to issue commands at mount, or in fstab | 08:03 |
| godsmoke | it's even in the ubuntu guide | 08:04 |
| godsmoke | I would appreciate it if you did a minor amount of work on your own before coming here to ask | 08:04 |
| _cory | i did | 08:04 |

| _cory | alot | 08:04 |
| godsmoke | no, you didn't | 08:04 |

| ilba7r | _cory it is not in the repos | 08:39 |
| ilba7r | add this line to your source list deb http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/debian ./ | 08:40 |
| _cory | what am i doing wrong, cuz before i formatted i found all sorts of stuff in the package manager like ndiswrapper | 08:40 |
| _cory | ok | 08:40 |
| silentshadow | Hey illba7r, do you know how to clear the URL bar? | 08:40 |
| silentshadow | Clearing the history doesn't work. :( | 08:41 |
| _cory | where is the src list? | 08:41 |
| silentshadow | etc/apt/sources.list | 08:41 |
| ilba7r | do not understand what you mean | 08:41 |
| _cory | ok thx! | 08:41 |
| silentshadow | The form where you type in the URL. | 08:41 |
| silentshadow | How do I clear that? | 08:41 |
| ilba7r | _cory uncomment the other repos too | 08:41 |
| silentshadow | The history on that form? | 08:41 |
| ilba7r | do you use firefox | 08:41 |
| silentshadow | No, Konqureor, fresh install of Kubuntu. | 08:42 |
| ilba7r | ok let me see | 08:42 |
| _cory | ilba7r do i have to change write permissions to be able to add to that list? | 08:43 |
| ilba7r | _cory no | 08:43 |
| ilba7r | if you wana edit it use this command | 08:43 |
| ilba7r | sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:44 |
| _cory | ok thx | 08:44 |
| silentshadow | Or you could just right-click sources.list then choose actions --> edit with root. | 08:44 |
| silentshadow | Or something like that. :) | 08:44 |
| silentshadow | But the terminal is much easier. | 08:44 |
| ilba7r | i do not remember how to do it from the browser but from the menu go to control cetner and then clear the browser from there | 08:45 |
| unome | silentshadow: restart konqi and check if the urls are still there. history sidebar gives you the option to sex max number of urls, set it to 0 to never have history | 08:45 |
| silentshadow | None of that works unome, but I'll try illba7r's advice. :) | 08:46 |
| ilba7r | control center internet&network web browser then you have it all the cache and history | 08:46 |
| _cory | is there a game like counter-strike for linux? | 08:47 |
| silentshadow | Doubt it. LOL. | 08:47 |

| internat | ive only had it running for a day , so im not going to lose anything | 09:24 |
| godsmoke | well, there's no reason to rely on "detection" | 09:24 |
| godsmoke | that's just ubuntu blowing smoke up your ass | 09:24 |
| godsmoke | it's nothing special | 09:24 |
| internat | well what do u sugest i do? | 09:24 |
| godsmoke | you know which driver your sound card needs? | 09:25 |
| internat | yep | 09:25 |
| internat | well i know its 1 of 2, | 09:25 |
| godsmoke | well, didn't you look it up? | 09:25 |
| internat | yes | 09:25 |
| godsmoke | then why are there two? | 09:25 |
| internat | and it came up as emu10k1 | 09:25 |
| internat | but the auto dectection stuff loads it as emu10k1x | 09:25 |
| godsmoke | well -- auto-detection should never be a -source- of information | 09:26 |
| godsmoke | it can work -- but trust the expert database | 09:26 |

| godsmoke | that's your best shot | 09:27 |
| godsmoke | ok | 09:27 |
| markc | godsmoke> yes, I've noticed :-) | 09:27 |
| godsmoke | so ... | 09:27 |
| internat | ok so how do i make it load that driver and not the emu10k1x driver? | 09:27 |
| godsmoke | you go into /etc/modules | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | and tell it which driver to load | 09:28 |
| Mez | markc, I wouldnt reccomend breezy at the moment, unless you like fixing things | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | after running the alsa config, of course | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | breezy is highly unstable at the moment | 09:28 |

| unome | insmod loads only the module you request, modprobe tries to load other modules that the one you request depend on | 09:29 |
| Mez | markc: go you :D | 09:30 |
| Mez | just default recdomendation is to not use it unless you know what you're doing :D | 09:30 |
| godsmoke | unome: but we're talking about a soundcard -- so we want this placed in /etc/modules, not manually loading it | 09:30 |
| Mez | markc, I hope you've been using bugzilla/malone ? | 09:30 |
| unome | godsmoke: ok. | 09:30 |
| internat | ok, so what, how do i stop the existing driver from loading and make it load the other one? | 09:30 |
| godsmoke | rmmod MODULENAME | 09:31 |
| markc | Mez> err no, just winging it by myself.. I'm on amd64 too so regular advice sometimes oes not apply | 09:31 |
| godsmoke | it won't force the driver load unless you configured alsa incorrectly ... | 09:31 |
| internat | wont that only just remove it for this boot insteance, | 09:31 |
| godsmoke | alsa needs to be told which driver you want | 09:31 |
| godsmoke | internat: yes, you should do that first | 09:31 |
| godsmoke | anyway -- configure alsa | 09:31 |
| godsmoke | tell it to use the proper driver | 09:32 |
| Mez | markc: if in doubt, file a bug, it helps us a hell of a lot | 09:32 |
| internat | how do i do that? alsaconf? | 09:32 |
| godsmoke | if the old driver continues to load on its own -- you'll have to blacklist it | 09:32 |
| godsmoke | yeah, I believe that's the name | 09:32 |
| internat | kubuntu doesnt have that config program for some reason | 09:32 |
| godsmoke | it'll auto-detect your sound card -- and you can tell it which driver it should use for it | 09:32 |
| godsmoke | right ... you download it | 09:32 |
| godsmoke | alsa-utils or something | 09:32 |
| markc | Mez> yes, that's why I am kinda asking about devel stuff... I should get more involved | 09:32 |

| godsmoke | hrm | 09:33 |
| internat | its meant to provide alsa-conf but it doesnt | 09:33 |
| godsmoke | you sure it's not there? | 09:33 |
| markc | mez> great, thanks for the advice, will do | 09:33 |
| godsmoke | sigh -- silly ubuntu | 09:33 |
| internat | ive done a locate on it, and its not ther | 09:33 |
| godsmoke | ok -- well, I'm too tired to go through this now -- damn ... if you're right, I'm gonna get angry at the devels | 09:34 |
| godsmoke | alsaconf is a good tool | 09:34 |
| godsmoke | although -- it is possible, I have the name wrong | 09:34 |
| godsmoke | it could be alsa-conf or whatever | 09:34 |
| internat | on knoppiox its alsaconf | 09:35 |
| godsmoke | I'd just tab-complete "alsa....." | 09:35 |
| godsmoke | see what there is | 09:35 |
| godsmoke | it might have a different name | 09:35 |

| Mez | so there's no point in asking in here :D | 09:43 |
| stisev | Mez/godsmoke: have you guys BEEN to vmware? | 09:43 |
| stisev | er #vmware | 09:43 |
| stisev | it's literally deserted. | 09:44 |
| stisev | lifeless! | 09:44 |
| godsmoke | no -- never had a problem | 09:44 |
| godsmoke | uh | 09:44 |
| Mez | I dont own vmware, so no ... but it seems pretty full.. | 09:44 |
| stisev | I would think 24 hours later, I'd get at least a hint of a response. | 09:44 |
| Mez | but the point still is - this = kubuntu support channel not vmware support channel | 09:44 |
| godsmoke | you have to WAIT for questions to be answered -- it isn't an on-demand service | 09:44 |
| stisev | godsmoke: read above. | 09:44 |
| godsmoke | stisev: search google, the mailing lists -- join the mailing lists, whatever you have to do | 09:44 |
| stisev | I tried searching google groups | 09:44 |
| godsmoke | google groups is USENET | 09:45 |
| godsmoke | that's not "vmware mailing lists" | 09:45 |
| stisev | what is vmware mailing lists? | 09:45 |
| godsmoke | the mailing lists that are for the support of vmware | 09:45 |
| godsmoke | usenet is its own system | 09:45 |
| godsmoke | this would be my first choice: http://www.vmware.com/vcommunity/ | 09:47 |
| godsmoke | the official vmware community support website | 09:47 |
| godsmoke | forums, knowledgebases, user groups, newsgroups | 09:47 |
| godsmoke | so forth | 09:47 |
| godsmoke | it shouldn't be my responsibility to find you vmware help either | 09:47 |
| godsmoke | just because you asked here -- and it has nothing even remotely to do with ubuntu -- doesn't mean I'm your personal googler | 09:48 |

| goat | hey noob question but i need help on how to set root password after a clean install of kubuntu please | 11:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | sudo passwd root | 11:44 |
| internat | so how do i set up dual screens? | 11:46 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | internat: get a dual head video card, or 2+ video cards | 11:47 |
| internat | yeah i ahve that | 11:47 |
| internat | i have a dual head vid card | 11:47 |
| goat | ok Kamping_Kaiser i typed "sudo password root" in terminal but it prompts me for a password for that | 11:47 |
| nikkia | if its nvidia, you'll have to read and understand their driver notes on how to setup TwinView | 11:48 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | htats your password | 11:48 |
| internat | type the password for YOUR account | 11:48 |

| goat | o wow thanks buddy | 11:53 |
| goat | sorry about that :P | 11:53 |
| goat | would u recommend making my root password different from my user password? | 11:54 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | oops sorry about passwd/password | 11:57 |
| nikkia | goat, i'd recommend learning to live with sudo :) | 11:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | goat, if you have a root password, it may as well be different | 11:57 |
| Fraeon | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install root-account | 11:58 |
| goat | su = switch user right? | 11:58 |
| goat | whats the do? | 11:58 |
| nikkia | goat, 'do' a command as a different user | 11:58 |
| Fraeon | I always thought 'su' meant super-user. | 11:58 |
| nikkia | there are a few situations where 'sudo command' isn't sufficient, but you can replicate su with sudo -s and sudo -i anyway | 11:59 |
| nikkia | Fraeon: no, you can switch to other users too | 11:59 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | Fraeon: no, substitute user | 11:59 |
| goat | what do those arguments do? | 11:59 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | you can switch to anyone | 11:59 |
| goat | -s and -i? | 11:59 |
| nikkia | goat, -s == create shell, -i simulate login | 11:59 |
| nikkia | Kamping_Kaiser: almost anyone :) | 12:00 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :) ok then | 12:00 |
| nikkia | Kamping_Kaiser: su honours nologin and shells lookup | 12:00 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | oh, ok | 12:00 |

| nikkia | well, it does if you're running it as a normal user, you can tell it to ignore them if you're root, which is useful for doing stuff as a daemon account | 12:00 |
| goat | so if i do "sudo passwd" as opposed to "sudo passwd root" whats the difference? | 12:01 |
| nikkia | goat, none, really | 12:01 |

| goat | mmk | 12:01 |
| nikkia | one is explicitely specifying the username to passwd, the other is letting passwd guess based on the EUID | 12:01 |
| goat | EUID? | 12:01 |
| nikkia | effective user id | 12:01 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | goat, and i don't like letting it guess ;) | 12:02 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | same when i su i always use "su root" | 12:02 |
| nikkia | Kamping_Kaiser: i always use 'su -' but that's me | 12:02 |
| goat | k sounds good | 12:02 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | nikkia: well then i can see what's going on irrespective of what the system does | 12:03 |
| nikkia | which is odd really, as i use sudo -s these days, you'd think after years of being used to 'su -' i'd prefer sudo -i *shrug* | 12:03 |
| goat | alright im out thanks for all the help | 12:04 |
| goat | ill try to come by here more often and start picking this stuff up | 12:04 |

| samuelk | nod found it | 12:37 |
| unome | you gotta make /themes | 12:37 |

| _alex | j'ai juste une petite question... Sous kubuntu ou est-ce qu'on rentre les path de faons permanente | 09:25 |
| godsmoke | _alex: this is an ENGLISH-speaking channel | 09:26 |
| _alex | Oops sorry :p | 09:26 |
| godsmoke | no problems | 09:26 |
| _alex | Starting over in english ! | 09:26 |
| godsmoke | heh | 09:26 |
| _alex | Hi everyone ! I just have a little question : where do I insert my Paths permanently in kubuntu? | 09:27 |
| apokryphos | _alex: the bath for what, exactly? | 09:28 |
| apokryphos | *path | 09:28 |
| apokryphos | heh | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | ... | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | the bash path | 09:28 |
| godsmoke | you put it in /etc/profile | 09:29 |
| _alex | Actually my (french) aspell is not found by kmail | 09:29 |
| godsmoke | you probably need to install it | 09:29 |

| _alex | so i should export my path but i dont want to do it every time i restart my box | 09:29 |
| godsmoke | ... | 09:29 |
| godsmoke | you didn't read | 09:29 |
| _alex | godsmoke: both aspell and ispell are installed | 09:29 |
| godsmoke | <godsmoke> you put it in /etc/profile | 09:29 |
| godsmoke | exporting a variable is exactly that ... a variable | 09:30 |
| SysFail | anybody having problems installing stuff? | 09:30 |
| SysFail | Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pango1.0/libpango1.0-0_1.8.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb MD5Sum mismatch | 09:30 |
| godsmoke | the information in /etc/profile is set every time the computer boots | 09:30 |
| _alex | ok thanks! | 09:30 |
| buz | use archive instead of us.archive | 09:30 |
| SysFail | k | 09:30 |
| SysFail | thanks buz :) | 09:33 |
| SysFail | worked | 09:33 |
| SysFail | that us.archive is default in the newest kubuntu install disc | 09:33 |
| _alex | last thing in my /etc/profiles I have a line with PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/etc..." is it here that i should insert a :/usr/lib/aspell ? because the line is not that long.... | 09:33 |
| godsmoke | huh? | 09:33 |
| _alex | this is the actual line : PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11" | 09:34 |
| buz | is there any thesaurus for OOo? | 09:34 |
| godsmoke | yes ... this is covered by their website | 09:35 |
| godsmoke | and also an apt-cache search for openoffice thesaurus will get you one | 09:35 |
| buz | must ahve mistyped | 09:35 |
| buz | didnt find it last time.... | 09:35 |

| supernix | How come Kubuntu does not have Firefox ? | 09:37 |
| uniq | it has konqueror | 09:38 |
| supernix | Yes | 09:38 |
| supernix | They actually seem the same | 09:38 |
| uniq | you can download firefox after installation if you want it. | 09:38 |
| supernix | Pretty much that is | 09:38 |
| supernix | Are you able to install anything if your using the LiveCD ? | 09:39 |
| uniq | sure. | 09:39 |
| supernix | I just wondered I did not want to damage my HD | 09:39 |
| uniq | you can play around and install stuff with the livecd. | 09:39 |
| supernix | KEWLIO | 09:40 |
| supernix | that is awsome news | 09:40 |
| uniq | it might become slow after a while. if you install alot. | 09:40 |
| supernix | I was afraid to even use the Kwallet for fear it would mess with the partition or something | 09:40 |
| supernix | I have XP and I am sure everyone knows what a pain it is | 09:40 |
| uniq | the livecd won't mess with your harddrive uynless you tell it to. | 09:41 |
| supernix | that is good | 09:41 |
| supernix | I tried something one time then when I booted up again it said something about trouble with the disk but after the check was done all was well not sure which distro that was | 09:42 |
| supernix | I must say I liked the Kubuntu much more than the Ubuntu | 09:43 |
| supernix | Under Ubuntu it would not detect my HP printer | 09:43 |

| goat | this is from the readme: | 10:02 |
| goat | Put the files contained in this archive in a directory where MPlayer will find | 10:02 |
| goat | them. The default directory is /usr/local/lib/codecs/ ($prefix/lib/codecs/) if | 10:02 |
