| Xzenome | What did you do to get that eror? | 12:04 |
| Xzenome | *error | 12:04 |
| Wrongway | apt-get source ffmpeg | 12:04 |
| Xzenome | Oh, I see, restricted and multiverse have put themselves on new lines, put them on the same line as the line before them. | 12:05 |
| Wrongway | line wraps are bad? | 12:07 |
| Xzenome | I've fixed my modified version ( http://michael-m.co.uk/sources.list ), so if you replace it again. | 12:07 |
| Wrongway | alright | 12:07 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, yes they are bad. I blame nano is seems to randomly wrap. | 12:07 |
| nalioth | stop | 12:07 |
| Xzenome | nalioth, what did I do wrong this time? | 12:08 |
| nalioth | after you update your sources.list, Wrongway you should type "sudo apt-get update" before doing anything else | 12:08 |
| Wrongway | k | 12:08 |
| Xzenome | but he should fix his sources.list first. | 12:08 |
| === Xzenome makes another coffee | ||
| nalioth | Xzenome: right. | 12:10 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, done it yet? | 12:11 |
| Wrongway | got the line7 thing again | 12:11 |
| Wrongway | so put the word restricted up a line | 12:11 |
| Wrongway | tried the update thing | 12:12 |
| Xzenome | go to the 7th line down and put it on the end of line 6. | 12:12 |
| nalioth | Xzenome: hold up a minute | 12:12 |
| nalioth | Wrongway: please open a console | 12:12 |
| nalioth | Wrongway: or go to your console | 12:13 |
| Wrongway | console=terminal...? | 12:13 |
| nalioth | Wrongway: yes | 12:13 |
| Wrongway | open | 12:13 |
| nalioth | console = terminal = shell | 12:13 |
| Wrongway | k | 12:13 |
| nalioth | in the console, type "cd /etc/apt/" <enter> | 12:13 |
| Wrongway | yup | 12:13 |
| nalioth | now type "sudo mv sources.list sources.list.bak" <enter> | 12:14 |
| Xzenome | nalioth, why does nano wrap like that? | 12:14 |
| Wrongway | backed up, gotcha | 12:14 |
| nalioth | nano sucks :P | 12:14 |
| nalioth | Wrongway: now type "sudo wget http://michael-m.co.uk/sources.list" <enter> | 12:14 |
| Wrongway | done | 12:15 |
| Xzenome | now type "sudo apt-get update" | 12:15 |
| nalioth | Xzenome: hold up | 12:15 |

| Xzenome | now type "sudo apt-get update" | 12:16 |
| nalioth | Xzenome: i use aee as a console text editor, i find it much simpler than nano | 12:17 |
| Wrongway | had to edit the sources.list yet again to fix the wraps :P | 12:18 |
| Wrongway | but it's doing it this time at least | 12:18 |
| nalioth | hmm | 12:18 |
| Wrongway | did a whole bunch of stuff, ending with | 12:19 |
| Wrongway | W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper-security_universe_binary-i386_Packages) | 12:19 |
| Wrongway | W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems | 12:19 |
| nalioth | and if i may . . . . | 12:20 |
| nalioth | backports are evil. | 12:20 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, now type "sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg" this will get all of the stuff that we'll need to compile/install ffmpeg | 12:21 |
| nalioth | also Wrongway if you edit the list again, do a find-and-replace and replace "universe" with "universe multiverse" | 12:21 |
| nalioth | after editing the sources.list, update your apt once more | 12:21 |
| nalioth | with multiverse you'll gain ~18,000 more apps to play with | 12:22 |
| Wrongway | nice | 12:22 |
| Wrongway | doing the build-dep thing | 12:22 |
| Xzenome | good | 12:22 |
| Xzenome | nalioth, is ffmpeg illegal in a libdecss way or just not FOSS | 12:23 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, is it done yet? | 12:25 |
| Wrongway | 60% | 12:25 |
| nalioth | Xzenome: there are several closed source codecs that ffmpeg can use | 12:25 |
| Wrongway | oyeah, on a codec related matter, I've been frustrated with no audio on .mov's, which is what my digicam takes videos in | 12:26 |
| Wrongway | mplayer will now play the audio, but no other player can | 12:26 |
| Wrongway | not even vlc | 12:26 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, they probably use a codec like mp3 which doesn't come with ubuntu out of the box. | 12:27 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, I'm surprised VLC doesn't play it, it is normally so good but "mplayer pwns everything" | 12:27 |
| Wrongway | oyeah | 12:28 |
| Wrongway | is there any way to get vlc to play the audio? | 12:28 |
| nalioth | in my opinion, ubuntu mplayer needs to be recompiled by hand to bring it back to full function | 12:28 |
| Wrongway | btw, the build-dep thing is done now | 12:28 |
| nalioth | Wrongway: if vlc doesn't play the audio, there is probably no way to play it (currently) | 12:29 |
| Wrongway | damn | 12:29 |
| Xzenome | nalioth, I might make a crack at compiling mplayer with everything tommorow. I'll have a go at making it into a deb and I'll make it available on the net. | 12:29 |
| Xzenome | Wrongway, now type "sudo apt-get install ffmpeg" this should install ffmpeg | 12:30 |
| Wrongway | done | 12:31 |
| Xzenome | Now run this sudo apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libx264-dev | 12:31 |
| Xzenome | It will install a load of codecs | 12:32 |
| nalioth | Xzenome: what exactly are we attempting? | 12:32 |
| Wrongway | have done that before I came here | 12:32 |
| Xzenome | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding apparently. | 12:32 |
| Xzenome | now, type "cd ~/" to get back to your home directory | 12:33 |
| Wrongway | k | 12:33 |
| Xzenome | Then do "apt-get source ffmpeg" so we can get the source code for ffmpeg | 12:34 |
| Wrongway | yay | 12:34 |
| Wrongway | k, that's done | 12:34 |
| Wrongway | following along the page now... | 12:35 |

| Wrongway | yeah, hopefully | 01:01 |
| === Xzenome boils kettle | ||
| nalioth | .mov can be the same codec as .mp4 | 01:02 |

| researchsci | breezy badger? | 11:17 |

| Xzenome | In the networking dialogue it allowed me to select when I set it up. IT seems that Ubuntu doesn't really like your card. I think your best bet would be to ask on ubuntuforums.org. | 11:30 |

| researchsci | that helpful? | 11:37 |
| Xzenome | It isn't mentioned in the docs. | 11:37 |
| researchsci | dangit | 11:37 |
| researchsci | and they only have windows drivers on there site | 11:38 |
| Xzenome | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-203709.html | 11:38 |
| researchsci | there isn't anything about my card on there | 11:39 |
| Xzenome | type lspci | grep "RaLink", what output do you get. | 11:40 |
| researchsci | how do i get the straight line to show up | 11:42 |
| Xzenome | It is above one of the slashes. So use the shift key. | 11:42 |
| researchsci | okay | 11:42 |
| researchsci | no output it just returns the command | 11:43 |
| Xzenome | Ok, that proves that that topic I found is useless. | 11:43 |
| researchsci | sorry | 11:43 |
| Xzenome | Are you using a Thinkpad? | 11:43 |
| researchsci | no, it's made by a company called "Ibuypower" | 11:44 |
| researchsci | and I'm running 32bit Ubuntu, not 64 | 11:45 |
| Xzenome | Oh. I think your best be is asking on UbuntuForums.org | 11:45 |
| researchsci | okay, I'll do that | 11:45 |
| researchsci | one more question | 11:45 |
| Xzenome | sure | 11:45 |
| researchsci | how do i tell if i installed wine | 11:45 |
| researchsci | i tried to but i can't find it | 11:45 |
| Xzenome | type "wine --version" | 11:45 |
| researchsci | k | 11:46 |
| researchsci | output is "wine-0.9.31" | 11:46 |
| researchsci | so, that' means i have wine installed? | 11:47 |
| Xzenome | Wine is installed. So to run a windows program you do "wine path-to-windows-executable-here". Wine is installed | 11:47 |
| researchsci | okay | 11:48 |
| researchsci | i'm gonna try to run WoW later this evening | 11:48 |
| researchsci | i bet that's gonna be interesting.......but I'm sure there is plenty of documentation to do it | 11:49 |
| Xzenome | I've heard it works with Cedega | 11:50 |
| Xzenome | This gives details and should help you: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6482 | 11:51 |
| researchsci | cedega costs money though, right? | 11:51 |
| Xzenome | Yes I | 11:51 |
| researchsci | have you ever used it? | 11:52 |
| Xzenome | Yes it does, but Wine is catching up with it now. It uses code taken from Wine when it was BSD licensed rather than GPL'd | 11:52 |

| Xzenome | Ok. No problem. | 11:55 |
