Woo Hoo! I'm surfing with Konquerer

[Aunty Em]

Well I don't know what you call this except beginners luck, but I actually got my modem to work in Mandrake Linux, but boy does this site look strange in Konquerer!

 

[PT]

Welcome Linux Chick.

 

[chcr]

At least it doesn't look as bad as it did April Fool's Day!

 

[Luis G]

Get Mozilla or netscape, then forget about konqueror.

 

[Professur]

screencap?

Exactly.

Konqueror screws everything up.

Yeah, I have trouble with the text.

hey aunty, this should take a screenshot for you if you have the imagemagik package installed

sleep 5 && import -window root -display :0 test.png
waits 5 sec and takes shot

otherwise gnome and probably kde have nifty builtin buttons that do it for you

I'm using the KDE desktop - it looks the prettiest...

I just installed the packages that I wanted, but none of the servers for the moment - I will probably end up taking loads of stuff off it. I may well reinstall it once I've got the hang of it. I don't intend to do much surfing with it until I'm totally clued up about all the security issues, etc. Finding the driver that would work with my modem was just a process of elimination - I just tried the most likely ones and found one that worked on the 4th go - just need to keep a note of it for future reference until I get my ethernet card that is.

I'm seriously considering installing XP on the second partition of my TBred also, to see how it works.

Pretty good chance you have Gimp installed,really easy to take a screen capture with it .

 

[Aunty Em]

Yes, I know Gimp is in there somewhere, but I'm at work right now so I can't play...

I've used Mozilla in windows before and do prefer it. Netscape was my original browser as my IP at that time didn't support IE and it was integrated with their software. I know all about the different behaviours of webpages in different browsers. I did have IE, Netscape, Mozilla and Opera on my comp until recently. In fact I think they are still on ME.

I want to explore the multimedia side of things as well. Are there any P2P, mp3 and streaming media creation programs for Linux?

Me too.

Lots of them. Gnutella has a P2P for linux, I use mpg123 for mp3s, Xine For DVDs, and I haven't used one yet, but I know there are streaming media clients available, try this link.

 

[Luis G]

Xine doesn't play encrypted dvds, you need to install a decss pluging.

Thanks, Luis. I forgot about that.

i didn't know the GIMP had a feature for that, there is truth to the addage you learn something new every day.

speaking of xine, does anyone know what video libraries, etc. you need for the video stream on dvds? i can play DVDs with mine but i only get the audio stream.

 

[chcr]

I'm in winders right now tommy, I'll look in a bit.

Edit--Unless, of course, someone less lazy or less hungry beats me to it.

 

[chcr]

Check your PMs if you haven't already.

 

[Justintime]

omg man, i thought dual props from OCN joined up with that AV

 

[chcr]

Hey, unc put up another Calvin, so I thought, "What the hell, how about Cowlvin."

I hesitate to admit this, but once, back in the dim reaches of antiquity, I had a hat like that.
