[03:17] <IlikeMoose> I'm trying to make a link from my quake2 folder in my home directory to my desktop, if the link is in my quake2 folder it works but when i copy it to my desktop it won't run properly... any ideas?
[07:40] <matthewg1> I would like some help with likewise open on 12.04 LTS on a Widows Server 2003 AD :)
[07:45] <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
[07:50] <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.
[20:23] <brandonnowack> i need help

[20:25] <Unit193> What is it?
[20:25] <brandonnowack> im not getting any output from it.
[21:46] <vor> hello - i have a question - how do I show all menu items in the dash
[22:53] <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"
[22:58] <Blazemore> earthling does the filename have spaces in it? earthling_
[22:59] <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
[23:01] <earthling_> still doesn't work
[23:01] <Blazemore> Can you show me the exact command you are typing? On here if it's short
[23:02] <earthling_> desktop:~$ totem /home/Desktop/Desktop\24/Desktop\14/leftovers.mp3
[23:03] <Blazemore> What's with the 24 and the 14?
[23:03] <Blazemore> Why are there a million Desktops?
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <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
