| IndyGunFreak | bruenig: i have no doubt at all that it hasnt probably screwed up some systems(but most likely, those people are incompetent..... It could be automatix, could be something else, just like you said, nobody knows.. I just think by now id have had a problem if it was automatix. |
| emet | !synaptic |
| ThePlaneskeeper | emet: i'm not really meaning windows games- i mean just in general on linux systems, the idea if for people to configure, make, make install through terminal, which ususally (in my case) hasn't worked well, nor has it supported my experience in linux- it is quite a turn off |
| jrib | fruitbag`: the redirection there is done by the shell, which only has user permissions. pipe to tee instead, for example: echo "foo" | tee /some/file |
| bruenig | fruitbag`, cat /cdrom/q101_int.1 /cdrom/q101_int.2 | sudo tee /usr/local/games/quake/resource.1 |
| Jetfighter | I installed that stuff, now what? |
| emet | ThePlaneskeeper: that is why we use apt-get |
| AzMoo | Hey, I've got a lamp server installed, but I want to change the php configuration. eg, I need the mcrypt extension, PDFLib, etc. I don't need to compile my own, do I ? |
| bruenig | got beat |
| coffeegrindah | jetfighter: plus you may now have more encoding options in your ripping software |
| metalhedd | sudo nano -w /etc/mysql/my.cnf |
| coffeegrindah | (like mp3) |
| jrib | bruenig: though I forgot the sudo |
| fruitbag` | What the hell is 'tee'? |
| Uff1 | Hey, I just tried updating and got an error message saying i have duplicate sources.list entry...what to do? |
| metalhedd | ah! |
| gaspipe1 | how do you find wheer a file is.... such as I installed mlpayer.. and I wish to now find it in "computer"? |
| emet | for programs not in apt-get, it is up for the developer to offer a way to install it |
| ThePlaneskeeper | emet: i have little or no success with apt-get |
| bruenig | fruitbag`, man tee |
| sdrev | bruenig, yeah, i noticed that it was commented out in the sources.list; does that mean the synaptic package manager doesn't have permission or the capabilities to uncomment that file? |
| bruenig | gaspipe1, well mplayer is a lot of files, if you mean the launcher then it is /usr/bin/mplayer |
| emet | ThePlaneskeeper: why specific problem you having? what* |
| Tom47 | Uff1 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete the duplicate line |
| Uff1 | I see. |
| gaspipe1 | bruenig: ok i'll check that i need to check/edit a line in a file |
| jrib | gaspipe1: to search you can choose from several commands: locate, find, whereis... |
| flake | is defragging necessary with linux? |
| bruenig | sdrev, you have to set it to do it in preferences or something. I am not sure exactly where you do that, But you have to configure synaptic to uncomment it. |
| Jetfighter | Attempting to convert now. |
| emet | flake: not really if you use ext3 |
| sdrev | bruenig, ok, thanks |
| bruenig | gaspipe1, it is a binary |
| coffeegrindah | has any one tried ubuntu on a flash drive? |
| emet | ntfs fragments very quickly |
| fruitbag` | bruenig, 'man tee' ? |
| ThePlaneskeeper | emet: well i have tried installing several things now, and in each case i am missing libraries that i have to manually search out and find (with synaptic- and this is a distributor problem- they aren't telling me all of the dependancies) |
| fruitbag` | Explain, sir. |
