directories worth checking are /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/games/bin, /usr/kde/version/bin ... you get the picture

| Well the subject says it all, I'm just lazy, but for an FTP Client which is really simple I currently use Kasablanca. I'm not sure if the ebuild is in portage, but it is hosted at berlios so it should be easy to locate. It is far from perfect, but really suits my daily ftp needs. |

This is the only place on my system that came up when I searched for "fceultra" and these are the files it contains. It's like it's not even installed but I definitely emerged it.
dan@tux /usr/portage/games-emulation/fceultra $ ls
ChangeLog fceultra-0.81-r1.ebuild fceultra-0.98.10.ebuild files
Manifest fceultra-0.97.5.ebuild fceultra-0.98.12.ebuild metadata.xml
dan@tux /usr/portage/games-emulation/fceultra $ cd files
dan@tux /usr/portage/games-emulation/fceultra/files $ ls
0.97.5-joystick.patch digest-fceultra-0.97.5 digest-fceultra-0.98.12
digest-fceultra-0.81-r1 digest-fceultra-0.98.10

You're a genius, the command turned out to be "fceu". Thanks man. But back to the previous problem of not being able to access the files on this particular CD gave me this....
dan@tux /media/cdrecorder/NES/Games $ fceu Dragon_warrior2.nes
Starting FCE Ultra 0.98.12...
Loading Dragon_warrior2.nes...
An error occurred while loading the file.

Copy the file to harddisk, if that won't work, re-read your NES-ROM and don't burn it on cheap media...  |

I can't copy to my hard disk. Like I said, this CD only will not in any way let me copy files off of it.

Still wondering 2 things.
1. What is Bittorent and how would I go about using it?
2. Is there a GUI with GFTP? It looks like a command line interface.

1. Can't copy the files from the CD ?? this is really strange, if you can read it then you can copy, else it means you cannot read ..
What does it say when you try to copy :
| Code: | | cp /media/cdrecorder/NES/Games/fceu Dragon_warrior2.nes ~ |
?
2. gftp is a gtk app, donnot know what ou mean by "it looks like command line", it IS GUI.
3. bittorrent is a p2p app, but unlike kazaa you cannot search files directly on your bt client, you have to visit some websites that serve .torrent files. Not sure i can help you with an url, but google "bittorrent search" should give you some, like the first one listed. Once you have dwld the .torrent file, just open it in Azureus or other bt client and watch the magic going.

1. What the hell? It worked, that's retarded. I did a lot of coniguring with Konqueror and system rebooting today trying to get my printer working, maybe something jarred it. Wierd.
**EDIT - I just remembered, it had automounted the cd as cdrecorder1 instead of cdrecorder for some reason. Maybe that had something to do with it.
2. I run gftp in the Konsole and it comes up with >GFTP or something like that waiting for me to type in a command. Or if I create an icon on the desktop that runs gftp, and I click on it, it sits there opening for 10 seconds and automatically closes again. So I thought it only ran on the command line.
3. I think I'll stick with peer to peer, this bittorrent sounds confusing and ilmited.

Sorry, i just checked and gftp comes with 3 bin : gft, gftp-gtk and gftp-text. So You want to try gftp-gtk. If that do not work, stick with Konqueror.

Concerning bittorrent, is sounds confusing at first, but common, you managed to install gentoo, you CAN use bt. Is it way faster than kazaa or emule, have less crap (like fake files), and you can find lots of new stuff. All you need to know is a good website to get the torrent from, this depends on what torrents you are after.
The only better thing i can think of, is aybe IRC or binary newsgroup

I only have gftp and gftp-text. All I did was emerge it. How do I get the other one?

Look at the USE flags for it.

Yes you need to USE gtk or gtk2. But you may want to stick with KDE apps so use konqueror or KBear (in portage) maybe.

For the peer to peer stuff, I'm missing gift.
Gift is a modular system for peer to peer on networks like KazAa.
You will need:
- The gift deamon, the actual program. It can be be started using giftd & (some ui's, like giftui, can automatically start and shut it down for you, so you won't notice it's there), or giftd -v so you can see what it's doing.
- Plugins for the different networks. I use Fasttrack (=Kazaa network), gnutella and openft.
- a user interface for starting searches and downloads. I use giftUI (gtk2) and giftcurs (console, ncurses based, but REALLY good). Somebody else mentioned Apollon, which is an interface for kde (I never used it, but it seems nice).
Without at least one plugin and at least one ui, the program is useless. The nice thing of installing multiple plugins is that you will search multiple networks at the same time.
These are the Gentoo packages:
gift
gift-fasttrack (it's masked, but works okay here)
gift-openft
gift-gnutella
giftui
giftcurs
apollon
Check the website: http://gift.sourceforge.net/ |

FTP uploader - gFTP is my favorite, but there are many many others!
HTML editor - Bluefish, perhaps?
Peer to peer file sharing - BitTornado
Professional image editing - Gimp
CD burner - k3b
Virus scanner - you don't need one for linux! w00t!
Media streamer - mplayer or xine

You mean when I added all the use flags when I set up the system like "kde msn hal usb..."? I think they're in grub.conf or one of those config files.

USE flags are in /etc/make.conf
In knoqueror, just type the url : ftp://url (ex ftp://ftp.myftp.com) then you will have to provide username and password, then you do as if it was on local disk (drag&drop, open, ect ..)

What about a video editor? I want to do some video effects on some MPEG files and also dub sounds over them.

I'm still trying to decide on a HTML editor. I tried Bluefish and didn't like it. I'm used to Dreamweaver and I want to be able to switch between code and html previews with a click. Someone mentioned I'd feel right at home with Quanta, but Headrush also wrote this...
| Quote: | | I find Quanta by far the fastest way to create web pages, but for a GUI tools with the power and features like Dreamweaver, NVU can't compare. |
Does that mean it doesn't compare, like it's not even close to it? Or did he mean to write nothing else compares?
I also got this when I did a search on nvu which grabs my attention since it mentions Dreamweaver right in the description.
| Quote: | dan@tux ~ $ emerge --search nvu
*** You are not in the portage group. You may experience cache problems
*** due to permissions preventing the creation of the on-disk cache.
*** Please add this user to the portage group if you wish to use portage.
Searching...

Nvu is a wannabe clone of Dreamweaver, based on the Mozilla editor, wannabe because if you compare Nvu with Dreamweaver, Nvu just sucks.
But hey, you might just like it  |

FTP uploader - /usr/bin/ftp (after emerge ftp)
HTML editor - NVU, VIM (if you dont want to be guided at all)
Peer to peer file sharing - PySoulSeek (soul seek is the only place i can ever find the stuff I am looking for)
Professional image editing - gimp i guess (not my area of careing)
CD burner - /usr/bin/mkisofs && /usr/bin/cdrecord (with options needed)
Virus scanner - chkrootkit (or something like that -- i guess it doesnt technically check for viruses persay, but it checks for intruders leaving things behind)
Media streamer - MOC --- compiled with all the goodies...
i am not being an ass here, the above works nicely, and reliably.... i am a big terminal advocator though.... |
