<Nettty> I opened links and got a config error something with svgalib but still, it opened. no frames. Later on (as root) I thought I might try it so I opened links again (all same version, same program) I saw my pretty menus like I should, google frames and everything. I thought that it might be a root/users issue or maybe (sounds odd I know) a virtual terminal issue or maybe a config I didn't do right... it just seems that at times it uses my frameb
<anyweb> did you google the error
<anyweb> a. yes
<anyweb> b. no
<anyweb> if b. then google
<graz> svgalib is funky if at all functoinal with non-root users
<Nettty> anyweb: yes it's a root/user permission prob?
<graz> yes
<anyweb> looks like it
<peano> how can i read an ebook in linux?
<graz> just for a test, suid the links binary and try in graphics mode again as a user
<peano> it's an encrypted EBX PDF
<anyweb> did you pay for the ebook
<graz> hahahahahah
<graz> as if
<peano> anyweb: my university did
<anyweb> well ask them for the answer
<anyweb> .google linux how to read an encrypted EBX PDF
<peano> they dont know anything
<LAMBCHOP> http://tinyurl.com/8r32p
<anyweb> try LAMBCHOP then
<anyweb> maybe he knows
<peano> already tried
<peano> linux = bad
<pup> ***
<Nettty> hehe
<Nettty> I got (ran links as user) Unable to find or create links config directory. Please check, that you have $HOME variable set correctly and that you have write permission to your home directory.
<bougyman> peano:
<bougyman> oh crap
<bougyman> that was too much.
<bougyman> what I meant to paste was adobe saying they will not support eBook on linux unless that platform (linux) becomes more widely used.
<Death_Syn> sounds like time for teh macintosh
<peano> yes i read that
<peano> though i didnt see anything about wide usage
<peano> in the final analysis, linux is not a practical desktop solution
<bougyman> Does the Acrobat eBook Reader run on Linux?
<bougyman> We do not currently plan to develop a version for the Linux platform, but we may in the future if that platform becomes more widely used.
<peano> and thats 6 years of analysis
<bougyman> that part.
<peano> oh
<bougyman> i've used linux as a desktop solution for 9 years.
<Death_Syn> hmm
<Death_Syn> ebooks just don't taste as good as paper boks
<Death_Syn> er books
<Nettty> peano: I'm sure you'll find some sort of compatible reader for that file format, even something cheap like an editor. google it. it doesnt have to be adobe
<peano> Nettty, theres nothing
<peano> from the looks of it
<bougyman> if I were to wish to read an eBook (i don't), i'd just load adobe reader in wine.
<Nettty> ss
<Nettty> oops
<Nettty> bougyman: clever
<Nettty> peano: emulate
<Death_Syn> i think i read one on my treo once
<Nettty> graz: you there man?
<bougyman> yeah, my cell phone used to read them fine.
<bougyman> they're horrible, overall
<bougyman> i prefer paper > pdf.
<peano> www.vault.com
<bougyman> for a book, anyway.
<peano> these books dont come in paper
<peano> theyre up to date career / interview guides
<Nettty> peano: can you give us examples?
<bougyman> they say they do, peano
<bougyman> Available in: PDF Download and Paperback Print Version
<peano> er
<peano> well
<peano> i'm not about to buy it
<bougyman> i'm able to read the pdfs from that site.
<Nettty> hehe, thats a different story
<jobo_> I'm trying to setup my wireless network. It seems that the card is working ok now. I used iwconfig to set the SSID and the key. I the used ifconfig to set the ipaddress, broadcast and network addresses. My computer has one wireless and one "none-wireless" cards. I tried to pull the cable out to test if it was working but it wasn't. Do I need to do anything to tell my system to use either eth0 or eth1?
<bougyman> with straight PdfViewer.app
<graz> Nettty: DO you have write access to $HOME?
<peano> if(doesnt work in linux){return to stone age}
<peano> bougyman, those are not the pay-to-read ones
<Nettty> graz: right... I set my $home via root and forgot to change its access, thanks
<graz> $HOME NOT $home
<arno> there's no place like ~
<bougyman> ahahaha
<bougyman> i found out why there's no open source software to do this, peano.
<bougyman> blame the Gov
<bougyman> http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/US_v_Elcomsoft/20010707_complaint.html
<graz> that russian dude that got beat
<Death_Syn> evil DMCA
<graz> that was what, 2 years ago?
<graz> ok, maybe 4 years ago :)
<Death_Syn> it is a worse virus than that dastardly GPL
<Nettty> graz: my $home and $HOME are the same
<Death_Syn> i think it's beginning to pwn south america now
<Nettty> (as my user I mean, not as root)
<bougyman> Death_Syn: got sfs homes working peachy
<Death_Syn> oooh
<bougyman> :)
<bougyman> it's easier than nfs
<bougyman> amazingly.
<peano> yeah that's real practical guys
<bougyman> auth options pam_sfs.so
<bougyman> er auth optional pam_sfs.so
<Phaid> woot. ordered new pc.
<peano> ebook read in linux = copyright circumvention
<Death_Syn> there's a pam module!? cool
<Nettty> graz: how should I chmod /home/myuser for <myuser> ??
<bougyman> then just have /sfs/hostname/home/username in the p***word file as thier home.
<peano> ebook read in windows = no copyright circumvention
<peano> do you realize that books would stop being published if they werent copy protected?
<bougyman> peano: the window software pays adobe to do it.
<bougyman> if a company wanted to do the same and make software for linux they could.
<bougyman> the open source community, however, cannot, because of the above case.
<bougyman> and many books are now published under the open documentation license and other common licenses.
<bougyman> so no, they wouldn't stop being published.
<graz> Nettty: why would you have to chmod it?
<graz> Nettty: and nothing reads $home, its not a system variable
<graz> variable names ARE case sensitive
