[09:46] <jrib> crazy_: hi
[09:46] <jrib> less traffic here
[09:46] <crazy_> how to run .bin file
[09:46] <jrib> !cli
[09:46] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:47] <crazy_> done
[09:47] <jrib> crazy_: do you have a terminal open?
[09:47] <crazy_> yes
[09:47] <jrib> now navigate to the Desktop with:  cd ~/Desktop
[09:47] <jrib> note that linux is case-sensitive
[09:47] <crazy_> it shows "roy@roy-ubuntu-ppc:~/Desktop$"
[09:48] <jrib> good
[09:48] <jrib> now type this:  chmod +x name_of_the_bin_file.bin
[09:48] <jrib> change the name of course :)
[09:48] <jrib> I didn't know realplayer had a powerpc version
[09:49] <crazy_> someone give me a url to download
[09:49] <jrib> oh
[09:49] <jrib> ok, any output from those commands so far?
[09:49] <crazy_> wait.  do I need to type +x
[09:50] <jrib> you need to type all of it:  chmod +x name_of_the_bin_file.bin
[09:50] <jrib> just change "name_of_the_bin_file" to the name of your bin file
[09:50] <jrib> you can type the beginning of the name and press TAB, that should autocomplete it
[09:50] <crazy_> no right click cannot copy name, so very slow, wait a while
[09:51] <jrib> that's why TAB is great
[09:52] <crazy_> done
[09:53] <jrib> ok, now do:  ./name_of_bin_file.bin
[09:53] <jrib> you can use TAB again to save time
[09:53] <crazy_> wait the first cmd bring back to : roy@roy-ubuntu-ppc:~/Desktop$
[09:53] <crazy_> correct?
[09:53] <jrib> yep
[09:54] <crazy_> ok
[09:54] <jrib> if you get no output that means it worked
[09:55] <crazy_> done
[09:55] <jrib> that should be it
[09:55] <crazy_> wait make mistake
[09:56] <crazy_> it is extracting
[09:56] <jrib> k
[09:56] <jrib> be sure you read the docs about the command line that ubotu gives, it's a pretty gentle intro
[09:57] <jrib> !cli

[09:57] <crazy_> it said: press enter ro continue
[09:57] <crazy_> ok
[09:57] <jrib> after this, you're on your own, I've never installed realplayer on linux :)
[09:57] <crazy_> :)
[09:57] <crazy_> it ask me :Enter the complete path to the directory where you want
[09:57] <crazy_> RealPlayer to be installed.  You must specify the full
[09:57] <crazy_> pathname of the directory and have write privileges to
[09:57] <crazy_> the chosen directory.
[09:59] <nalioth> !realplayer

[09:59] <crazy_> it said installed finish done, but cannot find realplayer on the menu
[10:00] <jrib> nalioth: he's on ppc though
[10:01] <jrib> oh it does have instructions there
[10:01] <jrib> I search for "ppc" when I looked, but it says "powerpc"
[10:01] <crazy_> ppc means powerpc
[10:02] <jrib> no biggie, I just repeated what was there
[10:02] <jrib> crazy_: try typing 'realplayer' in a terminal
[10:02] <crazy_> izzi
[10:02] <crazy_> :)
[10:02] <crazy_> I try just now but cannot work
[10:02] <jrib> what does it say
[10:03] <crazy_> finished installation, but I cannot find reaplayer from the application menu
[10:03] <jrib> what does it say when you type 'realplayer' and press enter
[10:03] <crazy_> u mean at terminal?
[10:04] <jrib> yes
[10:04] <crazy_> command not found
[10:04] <nalioth> jrib: in that case, he's screwed
[10:04] <jrib> what happens when you type 'real' and then press TAB twice?
[10:04] <jrib> nalioth: heh, how come?
[10:04] <nalioth> jrib: lots of closed source multimedia stuff isn't available for ppc
[10:05] <nalioth> installing an i386 bin on a ppc machine doesn't mean it'll work
[10:05] <jrib> ah, the wiki links to a ppc download though.  I'm assuming he has that one
[10:05] <crazy_> jrib: yes
[10:06] <crazy_> results :roy@roy-ubuntu-ppc:~/Desktop$ realvncpasswd
[10:06] <jrib> k, it's not that
[10:07] <crazy_> it ask for password , I enter and it said password too short
[10:07] <jrib> crazy_: how about 'hx' and then TAB twice?
[10:07] <jrib> close that, it's not the right command
[10:07] <crazy_> that is helix player I install yesterday
[10:08] <crazy_> why real TAB twice said password too short?
[10:09] <jrib> I don't know, are you still in that realvnc prompt?
[10:09] <jrib> hit ctrl-c a couple of time
[10:09] <jrib> s
[10:10] <crazy_> did
[10:10] <jrib> apaprently it's supposed to be "realplay"
[10:10] <jrib> type that and press enter
[10:10] <crazy_> cmd not found
[10:11] <jrib> don't know then
[10:11] <jrib> ask Real
[10:11] <crazy_> oh there is a folder call realplayer on desktop
[10:12] <jrib> ah wait, I think I know what happened.  We didn't install it with sudo
[10:12] <jrib> maybe you can run it from your desktop anyway, do 'cd realplayer'
[10:13] <crazy_> i double click on realplay and the player comes out now
[10:13] <jrib> k, that works too
[10:13] <crazy_> i dun understand "maybe you can run it from your desktop anyway, do 'cd realplayer' "
[10:13] <jrib> never mind
[10:14] <jrib> if you can just double click it, then that's ok
[10:16] <crazy_> thanks so much. thank you from
[10:16] <crazy_> Singapore
[10:16] <crazy_> new to linux just 2 weeks. have try many distributions, only ubuntu help is the best and is real time> :)
[10:16] <jrib> np, enjoy
[10:16] <crazy_> thank you again from Singapore
[10:20] <crazy_> using X-Chat Gnome, it auto connects to #ubuntu channel everytimes it starts, how to add more auto starts channel
[10:25] <jrib> crazy_: it's best to ask questions in #ubuntu because not many people monitor this channel
