[01:31] =] [01:31] ahhhh man i dont wanna do that :( === vidd_bricktop believes there is a way....something like apt-get (or aptitude if you used that to install) --purge beryl [or whatever the app is called] [01:33] --purge removes the configuration files [01:33] yea but maybe if i just update my reposatories for beryl? [01:33] .... [01:33] you can do that [01:34] im sure if you surf a little, you can find a beryl howto for your card [01:34] ok so if u were going to use the purge command,give me an example line [01:35] sudo apt-get --purge beryl [01:35] sudo apt-get --purge remove beryl === vidd_bricktop is not 100% on this..... [01:35] its unpacking and removing it [01:36] good [01:36] i hope nothing else crashes lol [01:36] if it does, i can help you thru it [01:36] i love linux so far because of the control and how smooth it is,but learning to control it and set it up is killing me lol [01:37] after it said removing beryl,went back to root command [01:37] lol ... where do you think you GET that control;???? [01:37] there....done [01:37] does that mean it removed it?

[08:17] test3r: sorry, i really have no idea. [08:17] well - what do You use j1mc ? [08:17] even tin is having problem going at all [08:18] question....how do you set up mplayer to view dvd's? [08:20] you'll want to use the Automatix packedge for that stuff, probably. it will make you confirm you are in the US, then it will install things for you to view DVD, I think [08:21] isnt automatix like...huge? [08:22] test3r: i can't remember the last time i used usenet... :( [08:22] test3r: vidd... try to avoid automatix. === vidd [n=vidd@static-72-86-134-229.phlapa.east.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [08:23] it can cause problems when you go to upgrade your system. === vidd missed stuff cuzz he lost connection [08:24] i asked if it was huge...then nothing [08:25] you don't have to install everything it offers [08:25] it is a packedge manager thing [08:25] nothing more [08:25] vidd: i wouldn't recommend automatix. [08:25] if you add it's repositories, and then go to update your system . . . [08:25] and if you up your system, im not sure if it works like every other packedge or not [08:25] if their repos aren't updated, it will cause problems. [08:26] automatix is not really necessary now, anyway. [08:26] search for the libdvdcss file... i think that will do it for you. [08:26] i have it and installed.... [08:27] my issue isnt with getting the thing to play.... [08:27] the picture is messed up [08:27] well....in gxine it is [08:27] mplayer just dont play it [08:28] yeah back when i even had totem installed too trying to get stuff to pplay right [08:28] i dunno - j1mc must be majic codec man or something =D [08:29] test3r, libxine-extracodecs works wonders [08:29] that and libdvdcss is all i should need... [08:29] all i needed on the other EIGHT boxes i have === vidd thinks it might be that the display adapter is not set right [08:31] i had libxine [08:31] plugs-bad [08:31] bad-multiverse [08:31] good [08:31] good-multiverse [08:31] ...etc..

[08:32] test3r, name one thing you cant play [08:32] well, lets start with mediaplayer10+ files [08:32] besides web content that discriminate based on reported os [08:32] also - some old janky 3.11 DiVX wouldnt play correct either [08:33] mightve been crazy 5 tho [08:33] i think i only had it going bak wiht NEMOs pak like 4 yrs ago [08:34] what cant you play TODAY?

Hey i just cheked out the plans: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/Tribe1/Xubuntu [02:17] looks nice - especially the bit about being able to format/write USB key drives now. Ive only tried copying off them in the past, and it can read from them as expected, but that's as far as I went [02:19] one thing I don't want is the RW of the NTFS sectors messing something up, though. I'm sure it will be plenty past those bugs by the time it is stable. It seems odd the day has finally came [02:21] I'll think I'll wait until an upgrade solution from Feisty is fleshed out though- I'm not even sure if I will. It's working quite nice, now, & see little reason to change it [02:21] I'll be using the new version on Some box, though [02:21] just not the laptop, heh [02:22] I installed Tribe1 on a spare harddrive and did the long test.

(mousepad & doesn't work) [11:04] RememberPOL: no [11:04] for shame [11:04] RememberPOL: unix has a precess *tree* [11:04] RememberPOL: if you cut a branch you're sitting on... [11:05] well is there a way to have mousepad run off a lower branch from xterm4? [11:05] ^^ [11:05] RememberPOL: dbus maybe... [11:05] ah [11:05] RememberPOL: I think you could try exo-open [11:06] k [11:07] but I think it would be a cool idea to have the defult text editor registered as a dbus service [11:09] well that's just an example (mousepad) [11:09] the actually process i'm wanting to run like this is moin.py [11:10] I mean I could probably put it in /etc/rc.local to have it launch at startup permanently... [11:10] but say I want to stop and restart the process but have it run in the background so I don't see it and I can close my x terminals and such... [11:11] I guess I could use a (CTRL+ALT+F[1-6] ) virtual terminal [11:12] But say I want to launch it as a pertinent background process from an X display using a distribution-independent method (leaving out dbus) === Zambezi [n=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com] has joined #xubuntu [11:12] *shrug* [11:12] virtual terms will be good enough i suppose === Zambezi [n=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com] has joined #xubuntu [11:19] RememberPOL: write a script for th init.d === K3rl0u4rn [n=yrenard@82.253.196.232] has left #xubuntu [] === Zambezi [n=Hideit@bnc.from.tx-shells.com] has joined #xubuntu === m0u5e [n=denniska@c-71-198-40-51.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu [11:34] Can anyone help me?
