[00:01] for music i store as .ogg files on dvd's [00:01] can put about 100 hours per disk [00:03] thx agent but I only have a cdrw till next mth, & can only fit 19 songs per disk, = ( , so considering I have 800 songs, I don't have that many cd's haha [00:04] ronnie_ even on cd as .ogg you can put about 10-12 hours [00:04] ronnie_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593 [00:06] hmmm, been having trouble with K3B, my songs are compressed to ogg but when I try to burn then, seem to come out as wave, well 19 songs per disk= 10-12 hrs? [00:07] ronnie_ you are burning audio cd not data cd ;/ [00:07] start a data cd project and add as many .ogg's as will fit [00:08] k data, should fit more good thx, & great link thx lots, 4.1gig, might not have to burn [00:08] thx tons mefisto = ) [00:08] ronnie_: I think they recently upped it to 5 gb [00:09] kewl so I can store it as data to take less room & reinstall my kubuntu woohoo! [00:09] ronnie_: it's been about a year since I used that extension, so I can't promise it still works [00:09] :) [00:10] k well ill try [00:10] !medibuntu > joseph [00:10] joseph, please see my private message [00:10] hm [00:11] so you have to add medibuntu repos to sources.list to use apt-get to install them? [00:11] yep [00:11] the reason is I downloaded a animation software for my webcam (freeware), now my webcam won't work = ( so no cvhoice but a fresh install, tho wine says it was uninstalled, oh well free can be risky = ) [00:12] Agent_bob: thanks, bob. [00:12] joseph welcome [00:14] so once medibuntu repos are added, is it possible to install the whole suite with one package name? or do you have to manually list every package? [00:15] hm [00:15] ok [00:15] joseph no and no. it makes everything in that repo avalable. and the package manager will list them as be installable err after you update the list. [00:15] i'm trying to find a video editing suite for ubuntu. i thought medibuntu had it. i guess not. hm. [00:16] joseph i think it does have something like that... you can search the repo dirrectly too [00:16] !video [00:16] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [00:16] joseph: what are you looking for? [00:17] something like final cut [00:19] joseph: kino is a well-kwown one [00:20] ok [00:20] thanks :) [00:20] joseph: kdenlive has a nice familiar interface, but was a bit buggy last I used it (a long time ago) [00:20] but kino is more stable? [00:21] and how about audio? anything like protools? [00:21] joseph: kino has been around for a while, so I suppose it's more stable [00:21] k [00:23] joseph: the closest you'll come to protools is probably ardour. there's also rosegarden, which looks better and is easy to learn, but not as powerful as ardour. but neither come close to protools or cubase, etc [00:23] joseph: rosegarden is primarily for midi work, ardour is audio only [00:24] so ardour is the one then [00:25] joseph: you might want to look into ubuntustudio, which is a bunch of media-related apps and tools www.ubuntustudio.org [00:25] thanks [00:25] very helpful :) [00:26] Can I use more than one charset? I use UTF-8. I think I need iso 8859-1. I have a problem opening files containing norwegian letters in the file name. This problem came after I upgradet to 8.04 [00:30] skole: do the filenames display properly? [00:32] mefisto: No. The norwegian letters are just boxes and squers. [00:34] skole: are the files on a cd or dvd disk? or hard disk? [00:35] Its on a USB drive [00:36] skole: and you have norwegian language installed ? [00:37] Yes I have. Its the old documents that are the problem. I have made new document just to test... That opens perfectly. I have some old docs on the momory stick. but now I cant access them [00:39] can you copy them? rename them? etc [00:39] My theory is that I have made those docs with a older charset than the relativly new UTF 8 [00:39] No I cant copy or rename them [00:40] skole have you tried from command line? [00:41] No... ehh... I've just installed KDE 4.1.1. Where do I find the command line? [00:42] skole konsole in the kmenu or alt+f2 konsole [00:42] skole and kde4 help is in the other channel ;/ [00:42] !kde4 [00:42] KDE 4.1.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [00:43] skole: do you have kcontrol installed? there is a "default encoding" setting there in fonts that you could try [00:44] Do I use adapt to get Kcontrol? [00:44] skole: sorry, that's just for konqueror [00:45] but at any rate. in the konsole try cd'ing to the dir they are in. and either copy or move them or use a loop to do it like this example: Q=0 ;for q in * ;do mv $q $Q.txt ;Q=$(($Q+1)) ;done [00:45] it's a browser setting, but it might work for file management too. I doubt it though [00:46] Mefisto: do you know how I can ad a charset in var/lib/locales/supported.d/local? [00:47] skole in #kubuntu-kde4 you might get answers to things like that...

[01:08] dynamic twin view [01:08] ahmos if you can't use nvidia-settings to disable it i'm not sure. [01:09] ahmos maybe someone else has been there/done that [01:10] * Agent_bob has an nvidia card but is stuck with the nv driver. [01:10] mine wouldn't have twinview anyway. [01:10] by the way i usew nvidia-settings but when i configure it then restart my computer ,it returns to default settings Agent_bob [01:11] eeek [01:11] brb [01:14] hi [01:14] need help with dvd playback in kubuntu [01:15] what kind of problem are you having with DVD's?

[01:25] I have a question, I have a Laptop(Toshiba) with those media buttons on the front (Like play, etc.), Could I set up Amarock to use these buttons? [01:26] GWillakers: awesome. set it up in the router config - works! [01:26] thanks [01:26] cool! [01:26] probably, but that depends on what you need to do graphics -wise [01:26] BluesKaj: Was that for me? [01:26] x_link x3100 ??? hmmm not sure.

[01:29] Is there a way to use hibernate/standby from the menu or keyboard? [01:31] I tried khotkeys but it said "ERROR: Communication problem with khotkeys, it probably crashed." How would I fix that? [01:32] THANKS A LOT CHRISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! the player is working [01:32] muack!!!!!!!!!!! [01:32] thats good to know. [01:33] thanks a lot, bye [01:34] khotkeys isn't working, is there another way to tell what the media keys are called and then just tell Amerock to use them?

[01:39] chrisruls00 yes showkeys [01:39] err no s showkey [01:39] it's cli appp [01:39] "cli"? [01:39] !cli [01:39] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I tried it in konsole already but I got "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" [01:40] as opposed to gui [01:40] ? [01:41] I dont know what it means [01:41] from konsole you got that error ? or from a command within the konsole ? [01:41] A command within the konsole [01:41] show me [01:42] I type showkwy into the console and hit wnter and it says that [01:42] I type showkey into the console and hit wnter and it says that [01:42] I type showkey into the console and hit enter and it says that [01:42] I kept hitting w...

[01:44] Thats my prompt, I changed that back when I was a new user and now I can't remeber how to change it back (I want to BTW) [01:45] for a single shot change export PS1='my new prompt' '\l [\u@\h.\w]\$' maybe [01:46] i'm trying to reproduce that error... [01:46] chrisruls00: sudo showkey fixed it for me [01:47] GWillakers ;/ really? [01:47] it gets rid of the 'file descriptor' error [01:48] GWillakers k i'm seeing it, odd. [01:48] wow, I lost my keybord for a while [01:48] does anyone know how to open terminal with a shortcut? [01:48] chrisruls00 heh only for ten seconds after the last key press [01:49] chrisruls00 that's in the startup message [01:49] I got the program running, but when I pushed the media keys It couldn't detect them [01:49] griff check the khotkeys it should list konsole already [01:50] thanks bob, ill give that a try [01:50] for opening the terminal with a shortcut, open K menu settings, chose your terminal program and the option to set a shortcut is in the bottom right, I think [01:50] or do it bobs way [01:51] I used to have a toshiba laptop. I never did get the media keys to work. I remember that I would have had to compile a custom kernel. [01:51] chrisruls00 hmmm it may have to do with xorg setting then... is your keyboard set to 101 in xorg.conf ? [01:51] I have set for terminal since my laptop is weird and the win key is in the top right next to the home key, making it easy to push [01:51] I'll check that right now. [01:51] GWillakers was it the ati chipset ? [01:51] i dont see a khotkeys, can i run that from konsole? [01:52] GWillakers i have a tosheba with the ati chips and it's terrable. [01:52] My keyboard settings say: [01:52] griff yes [01:52] Section "InputDevice" [01:52] Identifier "Generic Keyboard" [01:52] I think my problem was the phoenix bios [01:52] Driver "kbd" [01:52] Option "CoreKeyboard" [01:52] Option "XkbRules" "xorg" [01:52] Option "XkbModel" "pc105" [01:52] Option "XkbLayout" "us" [01:52] EndSection [01:53] hmmm 105 should be able to detect it then [01:54] hmm... [01:54] well, while I am here I have another question [01:54] chrisruls00 one way to rule out xorg as the problem drop to a console and test it. ctrl+alt+f1 to a login console return to xorg with alt+f7 [01:55] that's left alt ^ [01:55] I heard someone say that there is an option you can change in xorg.conf to disable the "click" on a touchpad, forcing you to use the buttons below it. I would prefer it this way, do you know what option that is? [01:56] no but i'm interested too. lets see if anyone knows. [01:57] everybody howto disable click on touchpad ??? [01:57] Would this make any difference? [01:57] # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig [01:57] # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Wed Jul 2 12:30:48 PDT 2008 [02:01] google sujests three lines added to the touchpad section Option "TapButton0'' "0'' [02:01] Option "TapButton1'' "0'' [02:01] Option "TapButton2'' "0'' [02:01] i'm not sure about the qoting there though. [02:02] www.newlinuxuser.com/howto-disable-the-tap-function-on-my-touchpad/ [02:02] There is that gsynapatics tool also [02:02] thanks [02:05] yeah another link shows more accurate quoting. [02:05] Option "TapButton" "0" [02:05] Option "MaxTapMove" "0" [02:05] Option "MaxTapTime" "0" [02:06] that actually looks right to me [02:07] dr_willis ok now how to convert that to console gpm ? [02:07] I found the old post where that guy told me about it and he said "TapButton1" "0" Disables Double-clicking using a touchpad. [02:08] No idea on GPM. My laptop has a touchpad on/off button I just use.. [02:08] it just dawned on me that my issue with tab/click is in console not in xorg that's why i havent tackeled it hitherto [02:09] chrisruls00 kewlio [02:09] dr_willis: I have a touchpad on/off button, but everytime i turn it back on kded crashes! :( [02:09] i don't have a switch. [02:10] i have used a card to cover the touchpad though... [02:10] show key didn't work in tty1 either [02:10] hmmm i could set a console hotkey to start/stop gpm that would work. [02:10] GWillakers, thats interesting... [02:10] GWillakers, do other window managers crash also? [02:11] chrisruls00 you mean didn't detect the media buttons or didn't work at all ? [02:11] Didn't detect the media buttons [02:11] dr_willis: haven't tried any others since I got my new laptop (HP DV9000) [02:11] chrisruls00 ok. it's gonna take a kernel module or kernel keymap to activate them and that one step out of my reach. [02:12] I got a HP DV2000 [02:12] dr_willis: maybe i'll try it with a ubuntu livecd [02:12] s=that one=that is one= [02:12] I always instll a few extra windowmanagers... just in case. :) [02:13] dr_willis how many is a few ? 6? 8? [02:13] :) [02:13] Agent_bob: i've solved refresh rate problem but when i start some games i get a blank screen [02:13] my last laptop I installed gnome... cluttered everything up and I hate gnome!! [02:13] I tend to install icewm, and jwm. [02:13] and gnome and kde. [02:13] :) [02:13] never tried those [02:14] I use icewm/jwm in vnc sessions mainly [02:14] is jwm the same wm as on damn small? [02:14] it's ok [02:14] i generally install blackbox fluxbox twm xfce4 gnome and kde [02:14] and end up using the console exclusively [02:15] lol [02:15] GWillakers but actually that's not a joke ;/ [02:16] I'm comfortable with the command line but I'm not there yet!! :) [02:16] Speaking of vnc, I have one set up, but I heard there is a way to set vnc up so that Ican connect to the log-in screen, since my current set-up requires me to log-in before I leave home and keep it open, I would like to know how to set it up so remote connections can be sent to the log-in screen. [02:16] chrisruls00, depends on exactly how/what/where you are connecting [02:17] chrisruls00, i use vnc4server, and from a remote machine, i normally just 'ssh in' and run 'vncserver' [02:17] gdm can listen for vnc connections [02:17] kdm prolly too [02:17] ok, what is ssh? I hear that a lot. [02:17] that way the session stays alive even if i disconnect. - with the gdm way.. if i disconnect. the session may exit. [02:17] chrisruls00 ssh is 'da bomb' [02:17] chrisruls00, time to spend an hr or 2 reading on ssh. :) putty is a ssh client for windows. [02:17] !info ssh [02:17] ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB [02:17] in short it lets you get a remote shell. [02:18] long description - its one of the most versitile tools out there. :) [02:18] I would Like to know how to do this. I have a program called putty on my flashdrive but I could not get it working. [02:18] dr_willis that's the long and short of it ? [02:19] chrisruls00 install ssh on the ubuntu box [02:19] Currently I use vncviewer from a flashdrive, I enter my IP address and port number that I have forwarded to my computer's IP [02:19] "ubuntu box" [02:19] ? [02:19] * Agent_bob hides. [02:19] chrisruls00, and you start the vnc server on the remote box.. by walking over to it.. and logging in and starting it up... my way.. you just ssh to the remote box. :) [02:19] I already have the ssh package installed [02:20] you dont need to be logged at the actual 'machine' or have a desktop showing [02:21] ok, I'm kinda confused right now. I would like something to use a programm I caould run off of a flashdrive if possible. I don't know anyone else that uses Ubuntu so I want to connect from Windows XP systems. [02:22] putty client on flash drive.. and you can ssh to the linux box's ip. [02:22] then do all sorts of things. :) [02:22] chrisruls00 ok i just tested for you. your ssh-server is running. you can login to your computer with your username and password over ssh ssh chrisruls@ip72-196-6-236.om.om.cox.net [02:22] and enter your password. [02:23] ssh ip72-196-6-236.om.om.cox.net works? thats scary [02:23] chrisruls00 now. you may also want to tighten security a little make a good healthy password and limit sshd to allowing only a few users is a good idea. [02:23] dr_willis- it resolves to the IP address, and that's all that matters [02:24] change the port that ssh uses too!!!! [02:24] security through obscurity! :) [02:24] GWillakers why any nmap test will find the new port.... [02:24] I'm still very confused!!! How do I set up ssh on machine I want to connect to? [02:25] install the open-sshserver package. [02:25] !ssh [02:25] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [02:25] chrisruls00 what os is it running ? [02:25] Agent_bob: make it a really high number and pray!! [02:25] what os is what running? [02:25] I'm still very confused!!! How do I set up ssh on machine I want to connect to? chrisruls00 what os is it running ? [02:26] that "it" ^ [02:26] GWillakers heh :) [02:26] ok, could someone walk me through this step-by-step or something? [02:26] chrisruls00: do you connect using a router?? [02:26] yes [02:26] i can't cause you wont answer me... [02:27] The maching I want to connect TO is kubuntu 8.04 [02:27] did you forward the ssh port?? [02:27] chrisruls00 then install ssh on it [02:27] "same it" [02:27] wait, let me check [02:27] it's port 22 by default [02:28] yes [02:28] package ssh is already installed [02:28] alaluia! [02:29] chrisruls00 then use the command ssh @ # where is a login user account on the remote box and is it's ip address [02:30] ok [02:30] chrisruls00 you can also use the "fish" protocal in konqueror to get a file manager over ssh access to the remote box. konqueror's address bar: fish://user@ip:/ [02:31] it will prompt for the password [02:32] Kubuntu is the os I want to connect TO, I would like to connect FROM a windows XP machine [02:32] Hello guys, I am having trouble with hibernate/resume on my vaio [02:32] aka Kubuntu is the server, XP is the client [02:33] you mentioned a program called putty [02:33] chrisruls00 putty is for windows [02:33] there is putty for linux [02:33] So putty is what I want to use? [02:34] noura but it's kinda a waste of space seeing that openssh is for linux [02:34] Putty is a ssh client for windows. (and linux) [02:34] true, I was just saying... [02:34] chrisruls00 from windows yes you use putty and connect to ssh server [02:34] the ssh client is not the same as the ssh server.. there are 2 ssh packatges.. [02:35] ok, let me go try from my dad's computer (has XP) I'll BRB [02:35] !find ssh [02:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about find ssh [02:35] with ssh - spending an hr reading a few docs - pays BIG dividends/ [02:35] dr_willis ahem one ssh package. two openssh-.* packages but ssh depends on both of them. [02:35] can anyone help me with resume/hibernate? [02:36] I thought th essh metapackage got removed. [02:36] or perhaps it got added. :) i rember at some time 'apt-get install ssh' dident work [02:36] noura: I don't know much about it, but describe the problem. [02:36] attention to all ssh users. i have found that colourizing the prompt when remote also pays dividends [02:36] http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/3175 [02:37] color prompts are fun [02:37] willis@black:~(7.858 Mb)$ [02:37] !info ssh [02:37] ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB [02:37] Ok, how do I set up the server side of ssh?
