 * mr_steve starts school today, whee
<h00k> mr_steve: boo!
<mr_steve> heya h00k, how goes it?
<mr_steve> I'm being made to use Windows for my online math class :(
<h00k> ...why?
<h00k> for what?
<mr_steve> The online tests use an ActiveX plugin
<h00k> fail. :(
<mr_steve> Quite
<h00k> virtual machine?
<mr_steve> I'm thinking about it. My laptop's a little under-powered, but it could probably handle an XP VM
<h00k> I have Windows run faster in a VM on this machine than natively :(
<mr_steve> I've discovered the same thing, I've already got one XP VM on one of my servers, it runs my BBS
<mr_steve> I'm fresh out of legit XP licenses I think, but meh
<Snoopy> So lucid is more stable when doing a fresh install
<h00k> probably
<Snoopy> I tried the upgrade and it didn't load the login page as a GUI, it did it in like a terminal
<Snoopy> But if anyone tries lucid, wait till Alpha 2 (jan 14)
<Snoopy> It should be more stable
<Snoopy> But with the way I depend on my computer so much, I need a bootable backup of my whole system
<Snoopy> I suggest this: Don't test lucid until Alpha 2.... It is a waste of space and time installing Alpha 1 because of all of the bugs... I just found one
<Snoopy> Anyone know what 10.10 is going to be codenamed?
<zomGreg> mangy mutt?
<zomGreg> mellifluous monarch?
<tonyyarusso> We don't normally hear the codename announcement until about the beta release of the previous one.
#ubuntu-us-mn 2010-01-12
<h00k> Which will be approx. March 18th
<tonyyarusso> uh, what will?
 * tonyyarusso seems to lack an important bit of scrollback atm
<h00k> ah, the beta of Lucid, when M* M*
<Takyoji> YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
<h00k> Takyoji: no, silly, that's already happening!
<h00k> will be announced
<tonyyarusso> ah
<Takyoji> It's quite surprising; it appears my brother finally has interest in OpenOffice because his new laptop was only pre-installed with Microsoft Works...
<tonyyarusso> hehe :)
<Takyoji> Typically he acts as if price determines value of anything.
<Takyoji> I know it sounds stupid, but it would be nice if Pidgin for example allowed you to set it to have a certain program scan a transferred file first before letting the user access it (such as ClamAV bindings or something)
<Takyoji> For those of us that proudly wear our tinfoil hats as we sandbox/virtualize every application used on our desktops.
<Takyoji> (hence why I'm curious of OpenBSD still yet)
<Takyoji> Anyone know of a decent FLOSS video transcoder?
<Takyoji> I would also like it mint flavor, please.
<h00k> er, like ffmpeg?
<Takyoji> Yes, but with a GUI for those whom aren't apt enough to use a CL
<h00k> it's not too bad!
<h00k> http://linux.die.net/man/1/ffmpeg
<h00k> how are you converting things? from what to what?
<h00k> it can be as easy as ffmpeg -i infile.format outfile.format
<Takyoji> CLI*
<Takyoji> I mean for a person that barely even knows what a file format is.
<Takyoji> I believe they need it from DVD video (.vob) to a more widely implemented format.
<Takyoji> (or even just a container for that matter)
<Takyoji> I wish Mastroska was more widely supported...
<Takyoji> I wuv that container format..
<h00k> oh,oh, like extracting from a DVD
<h00k> dvd::rip perhaps
<Takyoji> The only problem is that they'll very likely be a Windows user
<h00k> in that case, consider DVD Decrypter
<h00k> and/or DVD shrink
<h00k> Handbrake, perhaps
<h00k> yeah, Handbrake
<Takyoji> I was looking at Handbrake earlier curiously.
<Takyoji> Otherwise the person it's for is apparently someone of a video production company called "Fox Video Productions" whom also wants a website as well
<h00k> handbrake!
<Takyoji> And there's apparently already several other companies with the exact same name...
<Takyoji> Anyone have thoughts on the idea of GPU-accelerated graphics in a web browser, operated by Javascript? :P
<Takyoji> Just to think, like just 8 years ago Javascript used to give people the impression of annoying animated images hovering near the cursor, or flashing text, or a snow effect of asterisks down a page... xP
<mr_steve> mine eyes glazeth over
<h00k> heh
 * mr_steve is happily failing a match practice test
<mr_steve> grr, *math
<Takyoji> http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=92 Click "Compile and Run"
<Takyoji> That just scares me. A person wrote his own implementation of a QBasic compiler and considerably even a bytecode interpreter, and has the output draw to an HTML5 canvas
<Takyoji> in Javascript
<Takyoji> And wrote a functioning game within it as well
<akgraner> tonyyarusso, ping
<_diablo> I haven't seen him in a while
<akgraner> _diablo, ok..  I just sent him an email and wanted to see what his schedule was like this afternoon.. it's about a program in Scott Co. who needs some help - with Ubuntu related stuff
<_diablo> yeah, fair enough. sorry for the lack of help.
<akgraner> I have to step away for a few hours but should be back after 4pm your time
<akgraner> _diablo, no worries :-)
<akgraner> I'll check back a little later.. thx :-)
<tonyyarusso> akgraner: I'm around atm btw
<akgraner> tonyyarusso, hey
<akgraner> did you get my email?
<tonyyarusso> I did
<akgraner> just wanted to know if it makes sense to you
<tonyyarusso> I don't quite understand how it relates to Ubuntu yet though
<akgraner> he installs ubuntu on the refurbished computers
<tonyyarusso> or, frankly, exactly what BTYR does.  Is that a primary service of theirs?
<akgraner> and gives the to the families of deployed soldiers
<akgraner> that is one of the organizations he is working with
<tonyyarusso> Do you know which other ones?
<akgraner> nope, but I know it has to do with single moms
<akgraner> his big issue is support, classes for people he gives the computers too, QA sessions etc
<tonyyarusso> I see.  hrm
<tonyyarusso> I wonder whether he's had any contact with http://freegeektwincities.org/ also.
<_diablo> tonyyarusso: any news on the shirts?
<_diablo> I shared the spreadsheet with you I believe
<tonyyarusso> _diablo: not that I know of?
<tonyyarusso> yeah, you did
<akgraner> I don't think so, he just now started contacting people who he thought might be able to 1) offer help in some fashion 2) help grow the project
<tonyyarusso> Do you happen to know whether the broader Ubuntu community has any sort of "beginner training" curriculum that we could use if we did do something?
<akgraner> and since he is installing Ubuntu on them all - I thought it might be something you would want to talk to him about and see if the LoCo team would want to help
<_diablo> hmmm, how do we define critical mass?
<akgraner> tonyyarusso, I think the learning team might have some stuff, and with User Days coming up I can ask them
<tonyyarusso> _diablo: for shirts, by what people are willing to pay versus where the quantity price breaks are.
<tonyyarusso> akgraner: That would be good to know - we don't really have a good support infrastructure in place yet, so it'd be a bit of a hurdle to get started, so anything that lowers the cost of entry would be helpful.
<tonyyarusso> akgraner: I added a note to our spec on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MinnesotaTeam/Specs/AreaGroups for reference, although I'm not sure what/when we could commit to offhand.  (Ideally someone else would step up to run with it)
<akgraner> tonyyarusso, sorry had deal with an issue here..
<akgraner> tony no worries I'll get you all the info I have and you can talk to the fellow in charge of this.  I am going to write up something for the US Teams about this as well to see if it's something they would like to see about starting in their areas..
<akgraner> I'll get you all the stuff I can that's floating around out there in regards to the classes and stuff
<akgraner> tonyyarusso, thanks! :-)
#ubuntu-us-mn 2010-01-13
<Snoopy> ok I am using Ubuntu 10.04
<Snoopy> and it is stable.... or atleast, for me
<Snoopy> which makes me very happy with ubuntu working :)
<h00k> I'd also be interested if there is any "Beginner Training" available
<Snoopy> I think you have to pay for that
<Snoopy> But I do plan on making free stuff
<Snoopy> to teach people how to use ubuntu
<_diablo> h00k: are you still around?
<h00k> _diablo: indeed, I am
<_diablo> h00k: mr_steve and I are going to be holding Ubuntu Hour in the afternoons at some point
<_diablo> probably starting next week at a starbucks downtown
<_diablo> if you're interested in help, you're more than welcome to come hang out with us there
<_diablo> I think it was Friday, but I'd have to look over the logs from the meeting to be sure
<h00k> _diablo: where would this be?
<_diablo> at a starbucks downtown. I'm not sure
<h00k> Downtown twin cities?
<Takyoji> Folks: be sure to participate and spread the following information: http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2010/01/youtube-20-needs-your-input.html
<_diablo> h00k: yup
<h00k> _diablo: gotcha. unfortunately, I'll be in Superior, WI so I'll probably not be able to attend
<h00k> but I could ... er...participate remotely or something
<Takyoji> All you have to do is vote for the idea(s) of having HTML 5/Theora available on YouTube
<h00k> and somehow help
<_diablo> h00k: okay, we'll keep you posted. :)
<_diablo> Takyoji: I'm doing it right now. I really want html5 integration everywhere
<Takyoji> I'm DYING for HTML5-based players.
<Takyoji> Flash just kills performance, and it's a bit pathetic that people resort to Flash as it's the most widely used (across browsers and operating systems) with builtin support for H.264; the primary reason there's Flash-based players to begin with.
<_diablo> Takyoji: true. it uses something like 75% of my cpu with a dual core 2.2 ghz hyperthreading processor.
<_diablo> sa.
<_diablo> s/sa./sad
<h00k> _diablo: make sure to document these Ubuntu Hours!
<h00k> tonyyarusso: does your team have Team Reporting?
<kermit> why is flash's h.264 rendering so slow?
<kermit> i think there's an mplayer plugin to play flash videos, at least for firefox
<_diablo> h00k: kk
<Snoopy> anyone on right now?
<Snoopy> I have a question
<Takyoji> Such as?
<Snoopy> I am having an issue playing certain videos. More specifically .asf
<Snoopy> I need something called a windows speech decoder
<Takyoji> ASF is a container format of Microsoft, preferably for streamed content. Is VLC not able to play such for you?
<Snoopy> it does not seem to be installed.... should I download it via the website or in the synaptic package manager?
<Takyoji> When any Linux distributions, it's most preferred to install through the package manager, as the package manager will update any installed software whenever there's updates as well.
<Takyoji> Just go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Centre (previously called "Add/Remove Programs"). And search for "vlc"
<Snoopy> ok I am using Synaptic and I am downloading the software and installing it... hope this works
<Snoopy> okay an error message popped up
<Snoopy> No suitable decoder module:
<Snoopy> VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
<Snoopy> ok so now what can i do?
<Takyoji> "wmas" or wma?
<Snoopy> the video format I tried was a .asf
<Snoopy> but the error message, I just copied and pasted it
<Takyoji> Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
<Snoopy> not much help... I already had Ubuntu restricted extras installes
<Snoopy> *installed
<Snoopy> Can anyone help me?
<Snoopy> When I play .asf videos, I cannot get any audio out of the video.
<Obsidian1723> Do you get audo with oog?
<Snoopy> oog... what is that?
<Obsidian1723> video file type.
<Obsidian1723> ogg rather
<Snoopy> I have no videos with that format
<Obsidian1723> what about with AVI?
<Obsidian1723> or WMV?
<Snoopy> I might be able to try but I don't have any videos with that format
<Snoopy> well that didn't work....
<Obsidian1723> hmm
<Snoopy> connection timed out
<Obsidian1723> hang on
<Obsidian1723> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914191/Windows_Vista_Aero_vs_Ubuntu_Linux_Beryl.avi
<Obsidian1723> dl that
<Obsidian1723> let me know if vid and audio work.
<Obsidian1723> I suspect you may have some codec issues.
<Snoopy> both audio and video work
<Snoopy> I have ubuntu restricted extras installed
<Snoopy> i gotta go soon.....
<Obsidian1723> dl that and let me know
<Snoopy> download it and try? would i get different results?
<Obsidian1723> Its an AVI. I want to see if you can see video and have audio.\
<Takyoji> AVI and ASF are merely container formats rather than the actual format itself
<Snoopy> i am watching it in firefox and i get both
<Takyoji> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format_%28digital%29
<Snoopy> avi worked
<Snoopy> asf still doesn't work
<Snoopy> gotta go in 5 minutes
<Obsidian1723> Its a codec issue.
<Snoopy> i will be back in 3 minutes from now
<Snoopy> ok
<Snoopy> ok back
<Snoopy> how can i solve the issue
<Snoopy> ?
<Obsidian1723> checkout the codecs.
<Obsidian1723> Obviously the audio/video does work. COULD be a driver issue, but I doubt that. I'm leaning towards codec.
<Snoopy> would you happen to know what I have to search for in the package manager?
<Obsidian1723> HOW to fix it EXACTLY? I can't give you step-by-step on that; but I think I've pointed you in the right direction. AVI clearly worked, so you know it's possible. It's just for whatever reason, ASF doesn't work, and that to me, points towards a codec / handling issue.
<Obsidian1723> Is w32codecs installed?
<Obsidian1723> or if you are on a 64 bit system/OS, w64codecs ?
<Snoopy> I can't find then in the package manager
<Obsidian1723> sudo apt-get search w32codec
<Obsidian1723> ron@anubis:~$ search w32codec
<Obsidian1723> non-free-codecs - Non-free codecs
<Obsidian1723> w32codecs - Win32 codec binaries
<Obsidian1723> ron@anubis:~$
<Obsidian1723> I found em
<Obsidian1723> Enalbe the universe and non-free repos.
<Snoopy> looks like everything on the front page of software sources is enabled but I am having troubles installing it
<Snoopy> what is the exact name?
<Obsidian1723> it wont let you install it?
<Obsidian1723> w32codec
<Snoopy> nothing
<Obsidian1723> or w64codec dpeending on your OS.
<Obsidian1723> What OS are you running?
<Snoopy> ubuntu 10.04 32 bit but on a 64 bit computer
<Obsidian1723> I know.. Ubuntu, but version, specifics.
<Obsidian1723> 10.04 isn't out yet.. unless you are running some Alpha version of it.
<Obsidian1723> Well, youd want the w64codec
<Snoopy> Aplha 1... lpha 2 comes out on the 14th
<Snoopy> what ubuntu version are you using?
<Obsidian1723> Well, you are running Alpha software.. chances of anything working at that stage is a miracle.
<Obsidian1723> I'm on 8.04.3LTS
<Obsidian1723> It goes Alpha, Beta, Developmental, Final (usually) when it comes to software development stages.
<Obsidian1723> Is this your production PC or a testing PC?
<Snoopy> both
<Snoopy> still cannot find the codec
<Obsidian1723> well, you may be SOL with that.
<Obsidian1723> just my 2 cents worth, but I only upgrade to LTS to LTS +1 and later. Safer and more stable that way.
<Obsidian1723> When 10.04 comeso ut in April, I won't upgrade until June when 10.04.1LTS is out.
<Snoopy> doesn't ake very much sense to me but ok
<Obsidian1723> Just too many issues otherwise. 64bit too, while the future, is behind in many ways (like with Flash)
<Obsidian1723> LTS - Long Term Support.
<Obsidian1723> I think you may just need to wait until that Alpha comes out with a new build.
<Obsidian1723> Hopefully they support what you neeed, otherwise, go back to 9.04 or 8.04.x
<Snoopy> I tried looking for the codec stuff on Jaunty and Karmic... I don't have any discs older than 2009
<Snoopy> What is 8.04 codenamed?
<Obsidian1723> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914191/custom-ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-i386-version-5.iso
<Obsidian1723> Thats my version of it.
<Obsidian1723> Hardy Heron
<Snoopy> what is the difference between your custom one and the official normal one?
<Obsidian1723> LOTS.. updated OpenOffice, added a bunch of networking apps, 3rd party apps not normally installed, codecs, etc
<Snoopy> does it have windows wireless drivers?
<Obsidian1723> You can burn it to DVD or use unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive.
<Obsidian1723> No Windows drivers. It's Linux, not Windows.
<Snoopy> an application called "windows wireless drivers"
<Obsidian1723> ah no, didnt install that.
<Snoopy> I need that one program to do anything with ubuntu
<Obsidian1723> What kind of wifi card do you have?
<Obsidian1723> You can download and install it I'm sure.
<Snoopy> belkin f5d8053 v3
<Obsidian1723>    1.
<Obsidian1723>       Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that ends with .inf.
<Obsidian1723>    2.
<Obsidian1723>       Install ndisgtk (System â Administration â Synaptic Package Manager).
<Obsidian1723>    3.
<Obsidian1723>       Open ndisgtk (System â Administration â Windows Wireless Drivers).
<Obsidian1723>    4.
<Obsidian1723>       Select Install new driver.
<Obsidian1723>    5.
<Snoopy> i know that part
<Obsidian1723>       Choose the location of your Windows .inf file and click Install.
<Obsidian1723>    6.
<Obsidian1723>       Click OK.
<Obsidian1723> ez enough to do :D
<Obsidian1723> Have you tried ndiswrapper ?
<Snoopy> well I need an internet connection to get the driver installed
<Obsidian1723> also, just my 2 cents worth, go with either the Cisco or Atheros cards.
<Obsidian1723> WAY better support. With the Atheros stuff you can run them in promiscious mode with the 512A chipset.
<Obsidian1723> I suppose you could just download the DEB file, toss it onto a USB.
<Snoopy> yeah
<Obsidian1723> may not be a bad idea anyway
<Snoopy> but for me, I redo my hard drive like every month due to crashes, mistakes, and other silly things I do to it
<Obsidian1723> Well, you may want to try Remastersys , thats how I made the version.,
<Snoopy> would you know how to make a bootable backup of the system?
<Snoopy> I think the current one woule be "ubuntu Customization kit"
<Obsidian1723> Remastersys
<Obsidian1723> Google that it wil ltake u to the page for it. Add the PPA, install it. easy app.
<Snoopy> do you know how someone would download ubuntu by bit torrent?
<Obsidian1723> I dont use torrents.
<Obsidian1723> but Ubuntu has a BitTorrent installed.
<Snoopy> i know that much....
<Snoopy> I gotta go
<Snoopy> bye
<Obsidian1723> ye
<Obsidian1723> bye
<tonyyarusso> h00k: Not yet, no.
<mr_steve> Anyone see this yet? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html
<_diablo> mr_steve: yeah, I saw that
<_diablo> very good
<_diablo> although, now I'm realizing you posted that over an hour ago
<_diablo> or less.
<_diablo> argh. I'm drunk. Well. yeah. Ignore me. But I'm glad Google is stepping up.
<mr_steve> indeed
<Takyoji> That is insane: http://ajaxian.com/archives/gordon-flash-runtime-implemented-in-javascript

<_diablo> hey, is anyone familiar with irc?
<tonyyarusso> _diablo: relatively, what's up?
<_diablo> tonyyarusso: http://pastebin.com/m5fa6f2d2
<_diablo> that's what happens over and over when I try to connect to irc.gnome.net
<_diablo> sorry, I mean irc.gnome.org
<_diablo> and yet http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell#building says that that's the right server
<_diablo> any clue?
<tonyyarusso> reading
<_diablo> kk, sorry. :)
<tonyyarusso> Are you using _diablo or ~_diablo as your nick there?
<_diablo> _diablo
<_diablo> I assume the leading ~ is the way it connects or something
<tonyyarusso> Try without the underscore - I suspect their server is just configured not to allow it.
<tonyyarusso> (or their server software can't handle it)
<_diablo> ah, okay
<tonyyarusso> It's not a limitation of IRC itself, obviously :)
<_diablo> yeah. :)
<_diablo> tonyyarusso: ah, thanks :) that's so weird, they accept the nick with a leading underscore, but not username
<tonyyarusso> huh
<Takyoji> It's in the IRC specification that first character of a username must be a letter.
<Takyoji> http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/chapter2.html#c2_3 Section 2.3.1
<_diablo> Takyoji: it actually does not say that it must be so. It does say that "Most protocol messages specify..."
<_diablo> also, it says "many server commands", not all
<Takyoji> Anyone have thoughts on http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9144221/Google_attack_part_of_widespread_spying_effort ?
<_diablo> Takyoji: I'm worried
<_diablo> Takyoji: I'm proud of google for finally leaving it though
<Takyoji> yea
<Takyoji> I wonder if/when countries may turn against China for such
<_diablo> it's not easy. China trades a lot. Trade stops wars, but trade also stops condemnation
<Obsidian1723> F China
<_diablo> lol
<Obsidian1723> I do admire their firewall though.
<_diablo> it's a Great Firewall
<Obsidian1723> I wonder what they use? SonicWall? a Gentoo series of PCs? heh

<Takyoji_> Anyone have trouble with the Facebook plugin in Pidgin?
<Takyoji_> I'm so glad; I just had the most beautiful Ubuntu installation for a friend.
<Takyoji_> Wireless worked out of the box and everything perfectly.
<Takyoji_> The only issue was that at first boot, the mouse/keyboard didn't work.
<Takyoji_> And in other news, something terrible that seems to have happened recently: http://helpshawnpowersfamily.chipin.com/help-shawn-powers-family
<Takyoji_> Shawn Powers' house supposedly burned down
<Takyoji_> Well, not entirely burned down I suppose: http://www.natuba.com/photo/JWckHL/

<fisch246> i just got canceled on because of the weather...
<fisch246> time to sit at home and watch Stargate i guess v.v
<Takyoji> I take it that others would agree that it would be pathetic for it to take over 20 minutes for an Ubuntu installation (on a system with a 1.7GHz processor, 768MB RAM, 100GB storage, etc) to load the shutdown dialog when there are no user-level processes running?
<Takyoji> userspace* or whatever term best fits
<Takyoji> with very heavy harddrive activity
<Takyoji> I have a feeling the harddrive must be failing then; just tried opening palimpsest (Disk Utility) and that couldn't even open.

<liquid23> hi
<liquid23> hi im just wondering how do you get your windows partition to mount when u log on
<tonyyarusso> Depending on what options you used when installing Ubuntu, it may be doing so automatically.
<tonyyarusso> on boot, not logon.
<liquid23> on boot
<liquid23> should i edit the fstab cfg file
<liquid23> i have my music on windows thats why im trying to get it to mount so i dont have to config rhythmbox everytime
<tonyyarusso> Are you sure it's not already in fstab?  Otherwise you can do that, yes.
<liquid23> it is not just the swap and the file system
<ColinHarrington> I want to use a Ramdisk for my active workspace.
<ColinHarrington> I saw this article
<ColinHarrington> http://www.linuxreaders.com/2011/01/11/firefox-chrome-cache-on-ram-drive-fedora-ubuntu/
<ColinHarrington> on how to speed up your browser by using a RAMdisk
<ColinHarrington> I'd like to do a RAMdisk for my active workspace (code/class files,etc) that asyncronusly writes behind to disk
<ColinHarrington> has anyone here done this before?
<rlaager> ColinHarrington: "writes behind to disk"... How is that different from normal disk caching then? You want the filesystem to ignore fsync()/fdatasync() calls?
<rlaager> On that note, why are they doing ext2 on a RAM block device? Why not just use tmpfs?
<ColinHarrington> rlaager Well, I only want the workspace portion to go there.

<tonyyarusso> all right I suppose
<_diablo> tonyyarusso: what are you up to?
<tonyyarusso> _diablo: looking through old blog posts to see which ones I actually still care about
