| matthewg1 | I would like some help with likewise open on 12.04 LTS on a Widows Server 2003 AD :) | 07:40 |
| Unit193 | If I were you, I'd take a look over https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/likewise-open.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LikewiseOpen | 07:45 |
| matthewg1 | Thanks Unit 193 will give them a try :) | 07:50 |
| Unit193 | Never had the chance to do that type of thing, not sure if that's good or bad though. May take a look at centrifydc, it's in the partner repo. | 07:50 |

| vor | hello - i have a question - how do I show all menu items in the dash | 21:46 |
| earthling_ | I'm trying to play an mp3 file from a terminal, I type totem file path and doesn't work, totem starts and it says "location not found" | 22:53 |
| Blazemore | earthling does the filename have spaces in it? earthling_ | 22:58 |
| earthling_ | yes, | 22:59 |
| earthling_ | do I need to do the \ ? | 22:59 |
| earthling_ | instead | 22:59 |
| Blazemore | Yes you do | 22:59 |
| earthling_ | I'll try | 22:59 |
| Blazemore | Otherwise it thinks they are separate arguments | 22:59 |
| Blazemore | If you start typing the name and hit Tab it might complete it for you, escaped spaces and all | 22:59 |
| earthling_ | still doesn't work | 23:01 |
| Blazemore | Can you show me the exact command you are typing? On here if it's short | 23:01 |
| earthling_ | desktop:~$ totem /home/Desktop/Desktop\24/Desktop\14/leftovers.mp3 | 23:02 |
| Blazemore | What's with the 24 and the 14? | 23:03 |
| Blazemore | Why are there a million Desktops? | 23:03 |
| Blazemore | Is the file you are trying to open in /home/Desktop/Desktop 24/Desktop 14/leftovers.mp3 | 23:04 |
| Blazemore | If so, you need /home/Desktop/Desktop\ 24/Desktop\ 14/leftovers.mp3 | 23:04 |
| earthling_ | desktop is cluttered | 23:04 |
| Blazemore | You put a backslash before a character like space to say to the terminal "The next character is literally the character I type, don't try and do anything fancy with it" | 23:05 |
| earthling_ | so space is ok after the \? | 23:05 |
| Blazemore | Yes, exactly | 23:05 |
| earthling_ | I'll try | 23:05 |
| Blazemore | If a filename has a space in it, you need to put a \ before the space, not instead of it | 23:06 |
| Blazemore | Be quick cos I need to go to sleep | 23:06 |
| earthling_ | works now | 23:06 |
| earthling_ | thanks | 23:06 |
| Blazemore | Great, no problem | 23:07 |
| Blazemore | Why did you need to do it from the terminal anyway? | 23:07 |
| earthling_ | trying to setup ktimer | 23:07 |
| earthling_ | ever use it? | 23:07 |
| Blazemore | If you want to play stuff on the command line without using a GUI player, install the package "vlc-nox" which provides the programs "cvlc" and "nvlc" | 23:08 |
| Blazemore | No I don't know what ktimer is | 23:08 |
| earthling_ | small alarm clock program | 23:08 |
| earthling_ | for kde | 23:08 |
