(07:09:47 PM) Gadwil: Why won't the 64 bit flash work in Fedora like it does in Ubuntu?
(07:09:58 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: What's wrong with it? I'm using it now.
(07:10:17 PM) Gatorman: How about betcha?
(07:10:17 PM) Wreken: Eric is great------ He'll get in tune soon !
(07:10:29 PM) pyrosrock: i say beata
(07:11:00 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I am using the "Square" which is naitive 64 bit flash. I copied to ~/.mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and it still won't register.
(07:11:01 PM) ajamison5579: I say Be-to-the-a
(07:11:05 PM) GregInTexas: not me, by the way
(07:11:06 PM) ajamison5579: lol
(07:11:17 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: Copy it to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
(07:11:22 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Not to /usr/lib
(07:11:51 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I don't have lib64
(07:11:57 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Od
(07:12:04 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: And you said it's a 64-bit install?
(07:12:06 PM) Gadwil: yet I used the i686 live CD to install.
(07:12:17 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: then you can't use the 64-bit plugin
(07:12:23 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: You installed the 32-bit Fedora
(07:12:32 PM) Hillary: oops
(07:12:34 PM) Hillary: hahaha
(07:12:36 PM) Gadwil: ARGH!
(07:12:38 PM) GregInTexas: lol
(07:12:53 PM) Guest_9034: make a recovery cd
(07:12:55 PM) Gadwil: I need to completely re-install this system then! So apparently there is no 64bit live cd!
(07:13:02 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: Yes, there is
(07:13:08 PM) Gadwil: Then I can't find it.
(07:13:14 PM) pyrosrock: lol
(07:13:23 PM) GregInTexas: I dual booted vista and ubuntu 10.04 ... was a waste of time as I've never booted into windows again ...
(07:13:37 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: http://linux.mirrors.es.net/fedora//releases/14/Live/x86_64/
(07:13:43 PM) ajamison5579: windows 7 most versions have built in backup
(07:13:45 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Both the Gnome and the KDE version
(07:13:59 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I want a torrent, not FTP download.
(07:14:01 PM) ajamison5579: that works well but not duper high wuality
(07:14:02 PM) _Jot_: Gadwil, http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options
(07:14:05 PM) ajamison5579: quality
(07:14:08 PM) calhydro [45f63a7d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.69.246.58.125] entered the room.
(07:14:29 PM) Gadwil: I knew there IS a 64bit, just not available from the torrent page where I looked. There is only a 64 bit DVD install.
(07:14:34 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-14-x86_64-CDs.torrent
(07:14:38 PM) Yazid [47fa2303@gateway/web/freenode/ip.71.250.35.3] entered the room.
(07:14:45 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: That's the Install CD
(07:15:00 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Here is the 64-bit Live CD
(07:15:01 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-14-x86_64-Live.torrent
(07:15:04 PM) calhydro: sound tonite is a little nasal sounding
(07:15:06 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: It is right on the Torrent page, Gadwil
(07:15:12 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Not sure why you don't see it
(07:15:14 PM) pyrosrock: yeah i do mine manualy but i have rooted the system a copple times lol
(07:15:22 PM) Gadwil: Thanks GWG, I will download later when I am on my office PC again.
(07:15:37 PM) Gadwil: I went to the torrent link from the site, it showed a ton of downloads, just none 64bit live.
(07:16:00 PM) Gadwil: I see it now.
(07:16:01 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Dear RobbieF, can you tell us more about how and why you were able to get to the new HD feed?
(07:16:33 PM) _Jot_: EricKidd, you touched it, you eat it
(07:16:48 PM) calhydro: halloween candy?
(07:17:23 PM) _Jot_: RobbieF, you can promise him a 100% raise, after all, 100% of 0, is still 0
(07:17:42 PM) calhydro: the show where nothing happens
(07:18:07 PM) pyrosrock: danm guna miss some gota go :(
(07:18:26 PM) Gadwil: yay, I am finally watching the show!
(07:18:28 PM) evermind: bah humbug
(07:18:38 PM) EricKidd: The candy was wrapped in plastic
(07:18:56 PM) evermind: im usually getting the mp4
(07:19:19 PM) evermind: lower qual, but can keep a gazillion of your eps on my profile
(07:19:21 PM) Gadwil: RobbieF, Yes, I prefer Divx.
(07:19:27 PM) Gatorman: Any experience with Natty Narwhal yet?
(07:19:28 PM) _Jot_: EricKidd, not that bend stick thingy, that wasn't in plastic
(07:19:30 PM) Wreken: *** I think something MUST Change! Either wear brighter shirts; Or, change the Backdrop! Just a suggestion***
(07:19:33 PM) evermind: yea, partly
(07:19:36 PM) evermind: lazyness;)
(07:19:41 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: I'm using the beta feed RobbieF supplied.
(07:19:46 PM) _Jot_: EricKidd, lol :)
(07:19:47 PM) EricKidd: Last week's show, "a show about nothing" :) However, chock full of geeky goodness!
(07:19:48 PM) Gadwil: I have played with Narwhal... Nothing really changing yet.
(07:19:52 PM) Gadwil: Just updates mainly.
(07:20:09 PM) Gatorman: Gadwil, I couldn;t find any new stuff either
(07:20:17 PM) evermind: ill give the h264 one a try, if it works on my mediacenter...
(07:20:18 PM) evermind: thx for the heads up
(07:20:30 PM) Gadwil: Gatorman, There is one or two new things, but they aren't that important.
(07:20:39 PM) Gatorman: OK
(07:20:57 PM) Gadwil: On the plus side, this is my first time watching live from a Fedora system!
(07:21:01 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: RobbieF, next week, get EricKidd a set of Chinese handcuffs.
(07:21:10 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: Once you put on the hat, you never go back
(07:21:30 PM) calhydro: Robbie: I have been using VLC to grab frames from videos its really easy, but is there another app where you can control the resolution of frame/snapshot?
(07:21:35 PM) Yazid: WOW! lol
(07:21:38 PM) Gadwil: GWG, So far this 32 and 64 bit mixup issue has made me mad. But Arch will still remain my main system.
(07:21:47 PM) Gadwil: I just decided to give Fedora a true use shot.
(07:21:54 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: That isn't Fedora's fault.
(07:22:02 PM) Wreken: Thats it, brake out the Jameson's
(07:22:17 PM) warcow105: mmmm jameson
(07:22:21 PM) Gadwil: yes GWG, It is me having reading issues with a mix of perhaps some missing bits to a web page.
(07:22:40 PM) Gadwil: Or a mis-representation of the page on my Windows 7 box downstairs in 64-bit IE9.
(07:22:40 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil, happy to help if you need more. Ajamison is also a fedora user
(07:22:49 PM) ajamison5579: aye
(07:23:00 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: It must be a Microsoft conspiracy
(07:23:00 PM) Cory`: If you don't have anything tech to say, don't say anything at all
(07:23:01 PM) Cory`: :P
(07:23:04 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I think with the Yum-extender tip I am good to go.
(07:23:13 PM) Wreken: I can look in the cubbord for the correct spelling if you need.
(07:23:27 PM) Gadwil: No, IE9 64bit still has A LOT of layout issues. Things on constantly overlapping, I just forgot I was in 64 bit version.
(07:23:55 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: I was kidding about the Microsoft conspiracy
(07:23:59 PM) ajamison5579: i have windows 7 64bit and there are very few issues
(07:24:07 PM) ajamison5579: with regards to using 32bit
(07:24:10 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I think it is an honest theory though.
(07:24:26 PM) Gadwil: ajamison, Windows is a bit of a different issue.
(07:24:33 PM) Yazid: @RobbieF - can you put a script together and place on your site for the Pogoplug drive? Or add it to perfectbuntu?
(07:24:39 PM) Gadwil: well, Drivers yea, but not software.
(07:24:43 PM) ajamison5579: i was refering to what Robbief said
(07:24:49 PM) evermind: yah, try to install cs3 on a win7 64bit
(07:24:53 PM) evermind: tell me if it works
(07:24:54 PM) evermind: ;)
(07:25:03 PM) ajamison5579: evermind why i use CS5
(07:25:14 PM) Gadwil: If I owned a copy of CS3, Yes I would try. But almost all my 32bit stuff works perfectly in Win 7 64.
(07:25:19 PM) evermind: cs5 is fine with 64bit 7
(07:25:21 PM) Gadwil: So long as it isn't a Debian or tar.xz package.
(07:25:35 PM) Gadwil: CS5 yea, it was built very recently.
(07:25:54 PM) evermind: i had the situation with my current company, ppls upgraded their systems, then had to upgrade their adobe cs licenses
(07:26:00 PM) evermind: sometimes you only learn by paying
(07:26:03 PM) ajamison5579: 64bit has no speed increase unless applications are coded to use 64bit threads and more memory
(07:26:19 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: ajamison5579: On Linux, many things are compiled 64-bit though
(07:26:30 PM) Gadwil: I learned yesterday, in order to bypass my schools firewall, all I need to do is type in the actual IP, therefore bypassing DNS.
(07:26:46 PM) GoodGuy: RobbieF-EricKidd: There is also Ubuntu DVD's
(07:26:48 PM) evermind: then its not really a fw
(07:26:51 PM) ajamison5579: yeah but how many are compiled in true 64bit or are just compiled on a 64bit machine
(07:26:54 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Gadwil: I could tell you stories about the ease of bypassing such things.
(07:27:02 PM) evermind: sounds more like the normal proxy blocking thing
(07:27:14 PM) evermind: there are nicer tricks to bypass your schools proxy though
(07:27:17 PM) evermind: choose a public dns
(07:27:27 PM) evermind: that way you wont use your schools resolver, works alot of the times
(07:27:29 PM) Gadwil: GWG, I have tried many things. One thing I am testing now is running Adito on a home VM, and accessing that via DynDNS and port forwarding and getting websites that way.
(07:27:30 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Evermind, I used to use SSH tunneling to my home system to bypass Websense.
(07:27:44 PM) evermind: yah, ssh is the 100% working one
(07:27:44 PM) Gadwil: evermind, they can tell when I change the DNS.
(07:27:52 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: You can download putty without needing to install it direct from the web
(07:27:55 PM) Guest_4877 [519b1378@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.155.19.120] entered the room.
(07:27:56 PM) Gadwil: I can never get SSH working, they scramble the ports too.
(07:28:05 PM) evermind: so you switch ports;)
(07:28:17 PM) rd_blair left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
(07:28:17 PM) Scorpio55: flashvideoreplacer plugin
(07:28:38 PM) Gadwil: evermind, They even move HTTP from port 80 to something else. I don't know what those ports are, nor do I have a way to tell. if you happen to know, please inform me.
(07:28:45 PM) ajamison5579: Adobe is the worst thing to happen to flash
(07:28:49 PM) Gadwil: There Proxy is through port 8080, if that can help at all
(07:28:56 PM) ajamison5579: Macromedia did a better job with it
(07:29:14 PM) evermind: have you tried to remove the proxy settings from your browser, if theyre not having em in global policy
(07:29:20 PM) warcow105: http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Corkscrew_-_ssh_over_https
(07:29:24 PM) warcow105: try that
(07:29:39 PM) evermind: yah, a tunnel, like with what gwg mentoined above
(07:29:52 PM) Gadwil: evermind, If I remove the proxy, I get no internet access period, not even Intranet access.
(07:30:20 PM) Hillary: whats the diff between internet and intranet?
(07:30:27 PM) evermind: intranet would be lan
(07:30:29 PM) evermind: like your home pcs
(07:30:30 PM) warcow105: intranet is internal to a company
(07:30:30 PM) King_Arthur [~ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ] entered the room.
(07:30:33 PM) _Jot_: Hillary, intranet is a network, internet is a network of networks
(07:30:36 PM) Gadwil: Triple-booting on a single HDD bad idea. I constantly have issues doing that. I say to triple boot with at least 2 drives.
(07:30:37 PM) evermind: internet is everything that goes over your isp assigned ip
(07:30:45 PM) Hillary: hmm interesting.
(07:30:54 PM) GoodGuy: RobbieF-EricKidd: I run Terabyte's BootIt NG.... makes triple booting easy
(07:31:18 PM) evermind: Gadwil, good q, id go and analyse how theyre routing
(07:31:21 PM) evermind: route print
(07:31:26 PM) evermind: should give you some routing info
(07:31:39 PM) rd_blair [182c3b64@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.44.59.100] entered the room.
(07:31:39 PM) evermind: you could then try around with net route add
(07:31:43 PM) Gadwil: I was getting in trouble for being in Webchat, in this room actually. try explaining to a dim-witted principal that you were doing nothing wrong and they are completely stupid and oblivious as to what is going on.... Not easy.
(07:31:43 PM) _Jot_: Hillary, intranet itsself doesn't mean anything, it was 'invented' as a marketingterm to make a network sound interesting
(07:31:47 PM) evermind: and see what you get into that list
(07:31:54 PM) Hillary: gotchaaaa.\
(07:32:10 PM) Gadwil: evermind, Route print? I do know any traceroutes are blocked.
(07:32:17 PM) evermind: its not a traceroute
(07:32:29 PM) GoodGuy: a new version is due out in a couple weeks
(07:32:31 PM) Gadwil: So what is this Route print stuff? Never heard of it before.
(07:32:32 PM) evermind: it just tells you where your computer is going through, local settings, no remote damage done
(07:32:47 PM) evermind: its like ipconfig
(07:32:53 PM) evermind: just gives different info;)
(07:32:56 PM) GoodGuy: I have owned it for years and first time they are updating the major version
(07:32:57 PM) Gadwil: so the exact command is " route print"?
(07:33:04 PM) evermind: yep
(07:33:13 PM) Gadwil: Windows or Linux?
(07:33:19 PM) evermind: you could also check more commandline switches via route /?
(07:33:21 PM) Gadwil: I have access to both in Cisco class.
(07:33:23 PM) evermind: windows
(07:33:28 PM) Gadwil: Great.
(07:33:32 PM) Gadwil: Thanks for the tip.
(07:33:34 PM) Gadwil: ;)
(07:33:38 PM) evermind: linux would be just "route"
(07:33:54 PM) GoodGuy: The world is ending 2012, so Windows 8 can go down with it lol
(07:34:26 PM) Gadwil: Oh, does anyone know of issues using Zenworks to image an Ext4 FS? we were having issues and had to roll back to ext 3 fs to get imagining to work.
(07:34:27 PM) GregInTexas: ugh ... risky release?
(07:34:29 PM) evermind: not sites shutodwn
(07:34:31 PM) evermind: just the domains
(07:34:36 PM) evermind: the names are gone the ips are still there
(07:34:38 PM) evermind: ;)
(07:34:54 PM) evermind: the usual security by obscurity
(07:35:42 PM) warcow105: lol, good job Hillary
(07:36:00 PM) evermind: talking bout dns names, peter sund is currently working on something called p2pdns
(07:36:16 PM) _Jot_: a-me-the-ra
(07:36:19 PM) Gadwil: I would love to try p2pdns. Sounds good.
(07:36:26 PM) GoodGuy: Terabyte also sells imaging products with Windows, Linux and DOS versions... I have used it to backup and restore my EXT4 partitions
(07:36:29 PM) evermind: id love to try though, atm only for fun though
(07:36:47 PM) evermind: some admins are horrified, since when everyone plays names, everyone can put anyone up with some name
(07:36:51 PM) GoodGuy: Image for Windows, etc
(07:37:23 PM) Gadwil: goodguy, Unfortuatly we must use Novell Zenworks, it is what the school uses when imaging drives to the mainframes.
(07:37:39 PM) Yazid: Great job Hillary
(07:37:43 PM) GoodGuy: The interfaces aren't good looking, but it worked fine
(07:38:06 PM) GoodGuy: Zenworks is new to me
(07:38:29 PM) evermind: theres a ton of these products out there, still, if youve seen one imagine soft...
(07:38:53 PM) GregInTexas: we use zenworks for windows machines, but didn't know it would even work with linux machines
(07:39:02 PM) GoodGuy: Acronis charges for a new release when they fix bugs
(07:39:04 PM) GregInTexas: I'm not telling the network people
(07:39:22 PM) daliwiti [6363ab5d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.99.99.171.93] entered the room.
(07:39:43 PM) evermind: welcome daliwiti
(07:39:58 PM) GoodGuy: I see too many bad ratings when I read Acronis user reviews
(07:40:00 PM) Guest_2889 [415fc158@gateway/web/freenode/ip.65.95.193.88] entered the room.

(07:40:48 PM) lanceman: Bye Hillary
(07:41:18 PM) GoodGuy: I watch a podcast from Dr Bill... he showed a Techpodcasts.com iirc
(07:41:23 PM) Gadwil: i want Cat5 Desktop player!
(07:41:24 PM) Guest_2889: miss you more Hillary
(07:41:31 PM) GoodGuy: Something close to that spelling
(07:41:42 PM) evermind: a podcast is a term originally brought to use from the apple ppls, for something that used to be an audio recording, isnt it
(07:42:13 PM) GoodGuy: http://www.techpodcasts.com/
(07:42:31 PM) GoodGuy: You should add cat5 to them
(07:42:47 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: GoodGuy: My podcast is on the Tech Podcast Network
(07:43:15 PM) GoodGuy: Maybe you can pass the info along to RobbieF and join you there
(07:43:17 PM) Gadwil: RobbieF, If they have a guest-room I hope it comes with a dictionary that teaches proper pronunciation.
(07:43:31 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: GoodGuy: Any particular reason?
(07:43:39 PM) lanceman: Hey GWG, what is the name of your podcast.
(07:43:43 PM) GoodGuy: More exposure
(07:43:48 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: Android Buffet - www.androidbuffet.com
(07:44:07 PM) warcow105: hey hey, no cross promotion
(07:44:10 PM) warcow105: lol jk
(07:44:10 PM) lanceman: GWG Thank you.
(07:45:01 PM) Gadwil: I would rather just turn UAC off. Saves me plenty of time and hassel.
(07:45:07 PM) Newa: place to check for local guestrooms: http://www.couchsurfing.org/
(07:45:12 PM) evermind: uac.me
(07:45:43 PM) evermind: wow, now that is secure
(07:46:34 PM) GregInTexas: looks like you are pumping out episodes GWG ...
(07:46:45 PM) ajamison5579: u can control the sensativety of UAC in windows 7
(07:46:47 PM) evermind: one could tell the coders to not run stuff in ring zero
(07:46:51 PM) GadgetWisdomGuru: GregInTexas: 21 will be released tonight, hopefully. Gingerbread galore
(07:46:59 PM) evermind: but thats really out of the topic
(07:47:07 PM) Gadwil: RobbieF, I think it is more to try to emulate the privilege raising like Linux/Unix systems.
(07:47:30 PM) GregInTexas: I'll listen when this is done ...
(07:47:45 PM) GregInTexas: You were just getting started last time I was on android buffet
(07:48:09 PM) Cory`: RobbieF, have you mentioned anything about Synapse, the new GNOME-Do?
(07:48:36 PM) evermind: talking bout new stuff, anyone tried 11.04 yet?
(07:48:41 PM) GregInTexas: anyone have experience with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10?
(07:48:45 PM) evermind: im a bit scared by their switch on desktop
(07:48:55 PM) Hillary left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
(07:49:24 PM) evermind: 11.04 would be ubu 11.04
(07:49:33 PM) GregInTexas: does Compviz still run on Unity?
(07:50:01 PM) evermind: i dont think its something in unity telling compiz not to run
(07:50:10 PM) evermind: its more a q of is your gfx chip supported
(07:50:29 PM) GregInTexas: really ... so compviz is independent of gnome?
(07:50:34 PM) evermind: it always was
(07:50:52 PM) GregInTexas: so you could run compviz on kde or unity or whatever .... hmmm
(07:50:58 PM) evermind: of course
(07:51:09 PM) evermind: its "between" your windowserver and your desktop env
(07:51:14 PM) GregInTexas: still not an expert on linux on the desktop
(07:51:40 PM) Guest_4877: what the difference between ubuntu and kbuntu?
(07:51:41 PM) zandoli left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
(07:51:45 PM) GregInTexas: I mainly use it to admin my linux servers, but am playing more and more
(07:51:55 PM) evermind: thats why the animations on 11.04 already work, they didnt have to migrate with gnomeshell
(07:52:03 PM) GregInTexas: ubuntu comes with gnome, kubuntu comes with kde
(07:52:06 PM) GoodGuy: Unity doesn't work in Virtualbox (on my system anyway)
(07:52:09 PM) Guest_2889 left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
(07:52:10 PM) evermind: kubuntu comes with kde as default, ubuntu with gnome as default
(07:52:18 PM) evermind: but you can change em to your needs vice versa
(07:52:37 PM) evermind: theres kde in ubuntu too, all you have to do is install it
(07:52:40 PM) GoodGuy: I added it to my 10.10 system, but its a normal install
(07:53:03 PM) GregInTexas: do you like kde? vs gnome?
(07:53:13 PM) evermind: for your virtualbox setup, what exact error do you get when you try to install unity, goodguy?
(07:53:19 PM) evermind: im a gnome user
(07:53:31 PM) Gadwil: Odd, my GIMP normally says Gradient.
(07:53:32 PM) evermind: it has its odds, but in general, i became attached to it over the years
(07:53:34 PM) GregInTexas: I've not tried KDE in years and years
(07:53:40 PM) GoodGuy: It says it doesnt support it w/o 3D support, but I turned that on
(07:53:42 PM) Gatorman left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
(07:53:56 PM) evermind: ive used kde1x and kde2x, then switched to gnome 1.4.x
(07:54:01 PM) GoodGuy: I did some google searching and others have the same problem
(07:54:07 PM) evermind: had some waimea and openbox inbetween
(07:54:13 PM) evermind: but then back to gnome and never switched back
(07:54:17 PM) GregInTexas: I did too, evermind
(07:54:32 PM) jamalexa left the room (quit: Quit: Page closed).
(07:54:37 PM) GregInTexas: I tried gnome on SUSE and never went back
(07:54:57 PM) GoodGuy: Mint seems like KDE on a GNOME system
(07:55:05 PM) evermind: GoodGuy, that could have many reasons, what does the log say when you try to start it, and have you tried to start compiz stuff from the shell?
(07:55:06 PM) GoodGuy: KDE like menu look
(07:55:13 PM) evermind: sometimes shell output tells alot bout why things fail
(07:55:23 PM) GoodGuy: No evermind.. I didnt pursue it that far
(07:55:31 PM) Gadwil: Anyone have a good guide to installing the Proprietary Nvidia drivers in Fedora?
(07:55:33 PM) GregInTexas: I have a friend that is raving about the KDE
(07:55:46 PM) evermind: Gadwil, rpm -Uvh nvidia*.rpm
(07:55:48 PM) evermind: ;)
(07:55:51 PM) evermind: no joke
(07:55:59 PM) GoodGuy: I installed Unity on my real 10.10 install just to get an idea what it looks like
(07:56:23 PM) Gadwil: Evermind, IS there any way to install via Yum?
(07:56:38 PM) evermind: if you find a fedora repo of em, yes
(07:56:41 PM) evermind: never checked though
(07:56:42 PM) Gadwil: I installed the drivers from there (173) and the control settings.
(07:56:51 PM) Femi: there is also a gimp podcast tutorial
(07:56:51 PM) Femi: http://feedpixel.com/14
(07:57:15 PM) Gadwil: I tried running the config command earlier, didn't work, just re-ran it and this time it says it created the new xorg.conf file, so once I reboot I am hoping it works.
(07:57:22 PM) GoodGuy: I believe I saw a few in Miro Femi
(07:57:34 PM) Gadwil: I will use this 32bit system to get all the kinks out of my installation, then I will install the 64bit one later.

(07:59:16 PM) Gadwil: I love it when Robbie has to work through the wirecast issues that come up.
(07:59:20 PM) Gadwil: at least they aren't often.
(07:59:23 PM) Yazid: @gadwil http://rpmfusion.org/
(07:59:31 PM) Gadwil: and normally not related to wirecast.... how odd.
(07:59:36 PM) GregInTexas: boy those look weird
(07:59:47 PM) evermind: 3d glasses
(07:59:53 PM) GregInTexas: yep
(07:59:57 PM) calhydro: bye bye guys
(07:59:58 PM) evermind: for the extra kick out of real life;)

Hi Robbie, Eric & Hillary...
I'm submitting this just in case I miss the first live show for 2011.
The new website looks really cool and I'm now caught up on back episodes as we have had some friends visiting from Vancouver B.C
So I pla...
