[07:35] robitaille: quite a few, aren't there? :) [07:35] it's a good thing [07:40] yep [07:40] thanks for writing up that announcement to make it possible :) [07:40] no problem. === robotgeek [n=robotgee@ppp-70-247-163-184.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has left #ubuntu-doc [] [08:01] rob^, can I suggest a quick change to the faqguide? we can remove totem-xine for the list of things to install. Gstreamer appears to work. [08:02] rob^, and totem-xine simply means that they have to get w32codecs [08:04] I discovered this week that installing gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse allowed me to play some things in totem that I could play previously using w32codecs [08:05] yes, I just discovered that too [08:05] .mpg and the trailers from trailers.apple [08:05] I think gstreamer is now as complete as xine [08:06] but I have no sound with the totem plugin [08:07] haven't tried the plugins; I was testing it using a the stand-alone client. let me try one [08:09] same here; no sounds on one of the apple trailer using the plugin [08:10] hmm === robotgeek [n=robotgee@ppp-70-247-163-184.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:22] Burglaptop, using totem-xine results in no image and no sounds using the plugin inb the trailers.apple site. So I guess gstreamer is 50% better; but not perfect. [08:35] robitaille, you need w32codecs [08:37] yeah I guess. the point of the exercise in my mind was to try to find a way away from installing w32codecs. for the amount of multimedia I do, I'll stick with gstreamer. But for users in general, I guess you still have to suggest using totem-xine since it still works better [08:40] yes, but we also tell the user to install all the gstreamer stuff [08:43] hi, whats that? [08:45] at the moment the list is: [08:45] Libraries (multiverse) > gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse [08:45] Libraries (universe) > gstreamer0.8-plugins [08:45] Libraries (universe) > gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg [08:45] Libraries (universe) > gstreamer0.8-mad [08:45] Multimedia > vorbis-tools [08:45] Multimedia (multiverse) > lame [08:45] Multimedia (multiverse) > faad [08:46] Multimedia (multiverse) > gstreamer0.8-lame [08:46] Multimedia (universe) > sox [08:46] Graphics (multiverse) > mjpegtools [08:46] Graphics (universe) > ffmpeg [08:46] GNOME Desktop Enviroment (universe) > totem-xine [08:46] (sorry for the paste!) [08:47] so you want to remove totem-xine? does video now play smoothly without it? [08:49] brb === rob^ [n=rob@pdpc/supporter/student/rob-ubuntu] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:54] rob^, we install totem-xine, which doesn't use all the gstreamer plugins we just installed [08:54] let me get you a patch [08:55] rob^, I forgot to review it [08:55] we should only need to install 3 things [08:55] true, but one day we will use all the gstreamer stuff, it just doesn't work all that well yet [08:55] rob^, it actually does on fresh installs [08:55] unless something has changed again lately [08:55] rob^, robitaille and I were just testing it [08:56] what about totem-gstreamer? [08:56] that is what we were just testing [08:56] thats the default right? does it work well/smooth? [08:56] i tried both totem-gstreamer/totem-xine. totem-xine works better [08:56] I wonder how that will affect translations though [08:56] rob^, yes, gstreamer is the default [08:57] last time I checked it was painfully slow [08:57] robotgeek, -gstreamer has made great strides in breezy [08:57] Burglaptop: doesn't rhythmbox use gstreamer? it skips while playing an mp3 :( [08:57] personally I findgstreamer is still a bit on the slow side on my laptop [08:58] robotgeek, yes it does [08:58] yeah, I get a bit of choppyness with rhythmbox when my system is under a little bit of load [08:58] yes, but gstreamer is only patent illegal, not copyright illegal as well, ala w32codecs [08:59] and multiverse is easier to add than hoary-extras [08:59] I wish there was a better way then w32codecs, but I fail to see one [09:00] it appears to me that there is [09:00] does gstreamer support everything that w32codecs does? [09:00] should, with multiverse plugins [09:00] Burglaptop, I'm all for suggesting to use gstreamer, but my test earlier on trailers.apple didn't produce any sounds for the trailer I was looking at using only stuff from multiverse === rob^ can see some translators getting really pissy if we go and change things though [09:01] it's a bit late in the game to make that switch, isn't it? [09:01] robitaille, that is likely a totem bug, not a specific gstreamer one [09:01] rob^, that is my bad, I forgot to review it throughly for saneness [09:02] Burglaptop, or a missing codec in multiverse for the audio track of these trailers [09:03] unlikely [09:04] let me test by downloading [09:04] unfortunately, can't help u guys here..i am on ppc [09:04] I have faced very recently 2 videos that were only video, no audio, due to codecs issues. one was solved by using vlc, the other by using w32codecs [09:04] got a url for that apple movie that was causing problems? [09:05] http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/newline/the_man/theMan240.html [09:06] yeah it runs ok with w32codecs and totem-xine [09:07] but I got no sounds using totem-gstreamer will all the multiverse plugins installed. [09:08] ok, fails to play [09:08] hmm [09:08] but we should cleanup the installation stuff [09:08] yeah, same looks like its no good [09:08] we only need to install 3 things [09:09] sox and the non gstreamer stuff can die [09:09] nah [09:10] you still need lame, faad and others for stuff [09:10] ffmpeg [09:10] you do, but gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse will get all that for you [09:10] about the only one that could die is sox [09:10] and -plugins will get the stuff from universe [09:10] not everything uses gstreamer that needs those packages though [09:10] and -ffmpeg, because that isn [09:11] 't in the other three [09:11] Multimedia (multiverse) > lame [09:11] Multimedia (multiverse) > faad [09:11] these ones I mean [09:11] those ones will come with -plugins-multiverse [09:11] trust me [09:11] I know there are gstreamer ones, but they suck [09:11] the gstreamer ones use lame and fadd [09:12] they are just wrappers around the existing code [09:12] grr multimedia sucks on linux doesn't it? [09:12] yes [09:12] on ppc, very much :( [09:12] it would be nice if you could just install a package called "codecs" and everything is done for you [09:13] Burglaptop, gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg is not included in gstreamer0.8-plugins ... [09:13] rob^, you almost can [09:13] robitaille, yes I know [09:13] rob^, you only need 3 meta packages [09:14] hang on, let me try removing w32codecs and just using gstreamer [09:18] I removed everything without gstreamer next to it except totem-xine [09:19] you need totem-gstreamer and those plugin packages, plug ffmpeg [09:20] Ok, so I removed lame faad ffmpeg sox mjpegtools vorbis-tools and w32codecs, but not totem-xine [09:20] that apple trailer plays but without sound [09:21] ok [09:21] if I remove totem-xine and install totem-gstreamer, it doesn't play at all [09:22] so we at least need w32codecs for quicktime [09:23] and totem-xine because the gstreamer one sucks [09:23] did you noticed a difference in speed between totem-xine and totem-gstreamer? [09:24] robitaille, yes, one works one doesnt [09:24] :) [09:25] does dvdrip use gstreamer yet? === rob^ takes a look, it doesn't depend on any of that anyway [09:26] rob^, totem-gstreamer worked for me but no sounds; and video seemed a bit slow. [09:26] it does suggest mjpegtools though [09:27] well, I say we leave it, currently its the best working option if the user installs w32codecs and even if they dont [09:28] we just need to make sure RestrictedFormats on the wiki is up to scratch and easy to follow [09:28] for w32codecs anywya [09:28] s/anywya/anyway [09:30] ok, bbl [09:35] grr downloader for X still isn't working [09:40] rob^: can you give more info on malone #2340? [09:40] since it looks like it was apache that failed, rather than anything in your report :) [09:41] rob^, hopefully dapper will solve much of this [09:41] night all [09:41] http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2340 [09:41] ajmitch, on that one? [09:42] malone [09:43] grr I wish we just used one bts [09:43] we will [09:43] rob^, I have tried 2340, and it works fine now. [09:43] I did it yesterday [09:45] I ended up getting it working by just running the apt-get again [09:45] ok [09:45] I think its just because things are not configured in the right order [09:45] humm...but I have apache2 already installed on my machine. installing usermin worked for me on the 1st try [09:58] anyone know where I can find some information on yelp? [09:58] yelp yelp :) === robitaille is tired and making bad jokes... [10:00] http://directory.fsf.org/text/doc/yelp.html points to some urls, but notihng obvious documentation-wise [10:01] there is a couple of bounties on the gnome web site at the bottom of this page: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2340 [10:01] grr [10:01] http://www.gnome.org/bounties/Documentation.html [10:01] that page === rob^ [n=rob@pdpc/supporter/student/rob-ubuntu] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:12] :-* [10:12] hmm, gaim and irc.. === rob^ [n=rob@pdpc/supporter/student/rob-ubuntu] has left #ubuntu-doc [] === rob^ [n=rob@pdpc/supporter/student/rob-ubuntu] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:43] morning all [10:43] hi mdke [10:43] hi mdke Madpilot [10:44] hello [10:44] hi there [10:44] rob^, how is your translation of the faqguide going? [10:45] well, I've kind of come to the conclusion that seeing as I'm an aussie and I understand everything there, it doesn't really need translating into AU english [10:45] makes sense to me [10:45] I noticed the same thing on evolution also [10:45] rob^: so you'll just add "G'day, mate!" to the top, and call it translated into AU_en? ;) === mdke nods [10:46] heh yeah, I was thinking of pulling out an aussie slang dictionary out.. [10:46] ... and I'll add "eh?" to the end of every 2nd sentance, and call it translated into CA_en... ;) [10:46] might of been humourous [10:46] haha [10:46] has anyone noticed that there is no option in nautilus to have the address bar there for browser mode? [10:47] i hate the way that gnome always have to bugger something up for every release [10:47] there is a "places" bar [10:47] actually, maybe I'll thrash out a "Canadian translation" for the UBZ folks... [10:47] haha [10:47] I wish I was going :( [10:48] rob^, yes, and you can get the address with go->location but you can't set it to always show up like that, unless you edit a gconf key [10:48] mdke, ah yeah I see [10:48] I tend to use the xterm for everything, so never really noticed [10:49] i use nautilus a lot [10:49] why the heck did they remove it? [10:50] the Gnome "Open File" dialogue box already used buttons, so Nautilus has been changed to match, I think [10:50] rob^, cos they suck [10:50] Madpilot, pretty much [10:50] mdke, yep [10:51] I think I've found a solution to having svn access at work [10:51] use linux? [10:51] hehe apart from that [10:51] I sort of like the buttons; fastest way to move up a directory tree. Not sure how I'm going to like them in Naut, though... (not running Breezy yet...) [10:51] I'm talking a solution that uses an nt4 box without installing anything [10:52] I got webmin going on my home box and pointed a domain name I own at it [10:53] It was a bit painful, but I now have buttons in webmin that do "svn up", "svn commit" and stuff [10:53] heh cool [10:53] i guess you could just use putty dude [10:53] nah, basted firewall [10:53] run an ssh server on a different port? [10:54] I was thinking of using some tunneling software to get out, but this method doesn't break any work IT policies [10:54] ah [10:54] nah, all ports are ssh/telnet blocked [10:54] jeez [10:54] i'm starting a new job next week [10:55] i ran em up, to ask about computer compatibility and the guy was chuffed when he heard that I ran linux [10:55] i was worried I might have to install windows :) [10:55] I was going to tunnel over ICMP or DNS, but I don't know how I would explain all that traffic [10:55] heh [10:55] rob^: where do you work that's so locked down? [10:56] err [10:56] that's classified [10:56] he'd have to kill you [10:56] hehe === rob^ tippytoes around that one [10:56] heh. never mind, then... [10:56] he works for microsoft [10:56] yeah, thats it [10:56] we still use nt4 [10:57] man that faqguide is gonna take a while to translate [10:57] we distribute xp for all the suckers [10:57] yeah [10:58] a friend figures NT4 is the only stable OS Redmond ever managed to produce... :| [10:58] Burgundavia wanted to make some changes before, I was like: I dunno about that [10:58] to XP? [10:59] yeah nt4 is so secure, only because of it so old and new worms etc don't work on it :) [10:59] umm great english that [10:59] like Win98 is "secure" these days...

[11:09] Madpilot, i have to say, i think it's a waste of people's time to translate into variations of English [11:09] yeah. Even Australians can be understood, with a bit of effort! ;) [11:09] i've never had a problem understanding US or AU or whatever [11:10] omg [11:10] i forgot to gloat about the Ashes to rob^ === mdke gloats [11:10] omg someone has translated the bible into klingon too [11:10] yeah.. go to hell :P [11:10] :) [11:11] rob^: Shakespeare, too, I've heard [11:12] what is "Interlingua"?
