| Snoopy | ok I am using Ubuntu 10.04 | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Snoopy | and it is stable.... or atleast, for me | 00:20 |
| Snoopy | which makes me very happy with ubuntu working :) | 00:21 |
| h00k | I'd also be interested if there is any "Beginner Training" available | 00:54 |
| Snoopy | I think you have to pay for that | 00:54 |
| Snoopy | But I do plan on making free stuff | 00:55 |
| Snoopy | to teach people how to use ubuntu | 00:55 |
| _diablo | h00k: are you still around? | 01:33 |
| h00k | _diablo: indeed, I am | 01:34 |
| _diablo | h00k: mr_steve and I are going to be holding Ubuntu Hour in the afternoons at some point | 01:35 |
| _diablo | probably starting next week at a starbucks downtown | 01:35 |
| _diablo | if you're interested in help, you're more than welcome to come hang out with us there | 01:35 |
| _diablo | I think it was Friday, but I'd have to look over the logs from the meeting to be sure | 01:36 |
| h00k | _diablo: where would this be? | 01:36 |
| _diablo | at a starbucks downtown. I'm not sure | 01:37 |
| h00k | Downtown twin cities? | 01:37 |
| Takyoji | Folks: be sure to participate and spread the following information: http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2010/01/youtube-20-needs-your-input.html | 01:37 |
| _diablo | h00k: yup | 01:37 |
| h00k | _diablo: gotcha. unfortunately, I'll be in Superior, WI so I'll probably not be able to attend | 01:37 |
| h00k | but I could ... er...participate remotely or something | 01:37 |
| Takyoji | All you have to do is vote for the idea(s) of having HTML 5/Theora available on YouTube | 01:38 |
| h00k | and somehow help | 01:39 |
| _diablo | h00k: okay, we'll keep you posted. :) | 01:43 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: I'm doing it right now. I really want html5 integration everywhere | 01:43 |
| Takyoji | I'm DYING for HTML5-based players. | 01:43 |
| 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. | 01:45 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: true. it uses something like 75% of my cpu with a dual core 2.2 ghz hyperthreading processor. | 01:46 |
| _diablo | sa. | 01:46 |
| _diablo | s/sa./sad | 01:46 |
| h00k | _diablo: make sure to document these Ubuntu Hours! | 01:47 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: does your team have Team Reporting? | 01:47 |
| kermit | why is flash's h.264 rendering so slow? | 01:47 |
| kermit | i think there's an mplayer plugin to play flash videos, at least for firefox | 01:48 |
| _diablo | h00k: kk | 01:48 |
| Snoopy | anyone on right now? | 03:20 |
| Snoopy | I have a question | 03:20 |
| Takyoji | Such as? | 03:20 |
| Snoopy | I am having an issue playing certain videos. More specifically .asf | 03:21 |
| Snoopy | I need something called a windows speech decoder | 03:21 |
| Takyoji | ASF is a container format of Microsoft, preferably for streamed content. Is VLC not able to play such for you? | 03:22 |
| Snoopy | it does not seem to be installed.... should I download it via the website or in the synaptic package manager? | 03:23 |
| 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. | 03:24 |
| Takyoji | Just go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Centre (previously called "Add/Remove Programs"). And search for "vlc" | 03:25 |
| Snoopy | ok I am using Synaptic and I am downloading the software and installing it... hope this works | 03:26 |
| Snoopy | okay an error message popped up | 03:27 |
| Snoopy | No suitable decoder module: | 03:27 |
| Snoopy | VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 03:28 |
| Snoopy | ok so now what can i do? | 03:28 |
| Takyoji | "wmas" or wma? | 03:28 |
| Snoopy | the video format I tried was a .asf | 03:29 |
| Snoopy | but the error message, I just copied and pasted it | 03:29 |
| Takyoji | Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 03:33 |
| Snoopy | not much help... I already had Ubuntu restricted extras installes | 03:35 |
| Snoopy | *installed | 03:35 |
| Snoopy | Can anyone help me? | 03:41 |
| Snoopy | When I play .asf videos, I cannot get any audio out of the video. | 03:42 |
| Obsidian1723 | Do you get audo with oog? | 03:42 |
| Snoopy | oog... what is that? | 03:43 |
| Obsidian1723 | video file type. | 03:43 |
| Obsidian1723 | ogg rather | 03:43 |
| Snoopy | I have no videos with that format | 03:44 |
| Obsidian1723 | what about with AVI? | 03:44 |
| Obsidian1723 | or WMV? | 03:44 |
| Snoopy | I might be able to try but I don't have any videos with that format | 03:45 |
| Snoopy | well that didn't work.... | 03:48 |
| Obsidian1723 | hmm | 03:48 |
| Snoopy | connection timed out | 03:48 |
| Obsidian1723 | hang on | 03:49 |
| Obsidian1723 | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914191/Windows_Vista_Aero_vs_Ubuntu_Linux_Beryl.avi | 03:49 |
| Obsidian1723 | dl that | 03:49 |
| Obsidian1723 | let me know if vid and audio work. | 03:49 |
| Obsidian1723 | I suspect you may have some codec issues. | 03:50 |
| Snoopy | both audio and video work | 03:50 |
| Snoopy | I have ubuntu restricted extras installed | 03:50 |
| Snoopy | i gotta go soon..... | 03:51 |
| Obsidian1723 | dl that and let me know | 03:51 |
| Snoopy | download it and try? would i get different results? | 03:51 |
| Obsidian1723 | Its an AVI. I want to see if you can see video and have audio.\ | 03:52 |
| Takyoji | AVI and ASF are merely container formats rather than the actual format itself | 03:52 |
| Snoopy | i am watching it in firefox and i get both | 03:52 |
| Takyoji | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format_%28digital%29 | 03:52 |
| Snoopy | avi worked | 03:55 |
| Snoopy | asf still doesn't work | 03:55 |
| Snoopy | gotta go in 5 minutes | 03:55 |
| Obsidian1723 | Its a codec issue. | 03:56 |
| Snoopy | i will be back in 3 minutes from now | 03:56 |
| Snoopy | ok | 03:56 |
| Snoopy | ok back | 04:00 |
| Snoopy | how can i solve the issue | 04:00 |
| Snoopy | ? | 04:00 |
| Obsidian1723 | checkout the codecs. | 04:01 |
| Obsidian1723 | Obviously the audio/video does work. COULD be a driver issue, but I doubt that. I'm leaning towards codec. | 04:01 |
| Snoopy | would you happen to know what I have to search for in the package manager? | 04:03 |
| 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. | 04:03 |
| Obsidian1723 | Is w32codecs installed? | 04:03 |
| Obsidian1723 | or if you are on a 64 bit system/OS, w64codecs ? | 04:03 |
| Snoopy | I can't find then in the package manager | 04:04 |
| Obsidian1723 | sudo apt-get search w32codec | 04:04 |
| Obsidian1723 | ron@anubis:~$ search w32codec | 04:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | non-free-codecs - Non-free codecs | 04:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | w32codecs - Win32 codec binaries | 04:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | ron@anubis:~$ | 04:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | I found em | 04:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | Enalbe the universe and non-free repos. | 04:05 |
| Snoopy | looks like everything on the front page of software sources is enabled but I am having troubles installing it | 04:06 |
| Snoopy | what is the exact name? | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | it wont let you install it? | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | w32codec | 04:07 |
| Snoopy | nothing | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | or w64codec dpeending on your OS. | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | What OS are you running? | 04:07 |
| Snoopy | ubuntu 10.04 32 bit but on a 64 bit computer | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | I know.. Ubuntu, but version, specifics. | 04:07 |
| Obsidian1723 | 10.04 isn't out yet.. unless you are running some Alpha version of it. | 04:08 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, youd want the w64codec | 04:08 |
| Snoopy | Aplha 1... lpha 2 comes out on the 14th | 04:08 |
| Snoopy | what ubuntu version are you using? | 04:09 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, you are running Alpha software.. chances of anything working at that stage is a miracle. | 04:09 |
| Obsidian1723 | I'm on 8.04.3LTS | 04:09 |
| Obsidian1723 | It goes Alpha, Beta, Developmental, Final (usually) when it comes to software development stages. | 04:09 |
| Obsidian1723 | Is this your production PC or a testing PC? | 04:10 |
| Snoopy | both | 04:10 |
| Snoopy | still cannot find the codec | 04:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | well, you may be SOL with that. | 04:11 |
| Obsidian1723 | just my 2 cents worth, but I only upgrade to LTS to LTS +1 and later. Safer and more stable that way. | 04:12 |
| Obsidian1723 | When 10.04 comeso ut in April, I won't upgrade until June when 10.04.1LTS is out. | 04:12 |
| Snoopy | doesn't ake very much sense to me but ok | 04:13 |
| Obsidian1723 | Just too many issues otherwise. 64bit too, while the future, is behind in many ways (like with Flash) | 04:13 |
| Obsidian1723 | LTS - Long Term Support. | 04:13 |
| Obsidian1723 | I think you may just need to wait until that Alpha comes out with a new build. | 04:13 |
| Obsidian1723 | Hopefully they support what you neeed, otherwise, go back to 9.04 or 8.04.x | 04:14 |
| Snoopy | I tried looking for the codec stuff on Jaunty and Karmic... I don't have any discs older than 2009 | 04:14 |
| Snoopy | What is 8.04 codenamed? | 04:15 |
| Obsidian1723 | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/914191/custom-ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-i386-version-5.iso | 04:16 |
| Obsidian1723 | Thats my version of it. | 04:16 |
| Obsidian1723 | Hardy Heron | 04:16 |
| Snoopy | what is the difference between your custom one and the official normal one? | 04:17 |
| Obsidian1723 | LOTS.. updated OpenOffice, added a bunch of networking apps, 3rd party apps not normally installed, codecs, etc | 04:18 |
| Snoopy | does it have windows wireless drivers? | 04:18 |
| Obsidian1723 | You can burn it to DVD or use unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive. | 04:18 |
| Obsidian1723 | No Windows drivers. It's Linux, not Windows. | 04:19 |
| Snoopy | an application called "windows wireless drivers" | 04:19 |
| Obsidian1723 | ah no, didnt install that. | 04:19 |
| Snoopy | I need that one program to do anything with ubuntu | 04:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | What kind of wifi card do you have? | 04:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | You can download and install it I'm sure. | 04:20 |
| Snoopy | belkin f5d8053 v3 | 04:20 |
| Obsidian1723 | 1. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that ends with .inf. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | 2. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Install ndisgtk (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager). | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | 3. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Open ndisgtk (System → Administration → Windows Wireless Drivers). | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | 4. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Select Install new driver. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | 5. | 04:21 |
| Snoopy | i know that part | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Choose the location of your Windows .inf file and click Install. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | 6. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Click OK. | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | ez enough to do :D | 04:21 |
| Obsidian1723 | Have you tried ndiswrapper ? | 04:21 |
| Snoopy | well I need an internet connection to get the driver installed | 04:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | also, just my 2 cents worth, go with either the Cisco or Atheros cards. | 04:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | WAY better support. With the Atheros stuff you can run them in promiscious mode with the 512A chipset. | 04:22 |
| Obsidian1723 | I suppose you could just download the DEB file, toss it onto a USB. | 04:23 |
| Snoopy | yeah | 04:23 |
| Obsidian1723 | may not be a bad idea anyway | 04:23 |
| Snoopy | but for me, I redo my hard drive like every month due to crashes, mistakes, and other silly things I do to it | 04:24 |
| Obsidian1723 | Well, you may want to try Remastersys , thats how I made the version., | 04:25 |
| Snoopy | would you know how to make a bootable backup of the system? | 04:25 |
| Snoopy | I think the current one woule be "ubuntu Customization kit" | 04:26 |
| Obsidian1723 | Remastersys | 04:26 |
| Obsidian1723 | Google that it wil ltake u to the page for it. Add the PPA, install it. easy app. | 04:27 |
| Snoopy | do you know how someone would download ubuntu by bit torrent? | 04:29 |
| Obsidian1723 | I dont use torrents. | 04:30 |
| Obsidian1723 | but Ubuntu has a BitTorrent installed. | 04:30 |
| Snoopy | i know that much.... | 04:31 |
| Snoopy | I gotta go | 04:31 |
| Snoopy | bye | 04:31 |
| Obsidian1723 | ye | 04:33 |
| Obsidian1723 | bye | 04:33 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Not yet, no. | 05:03 |
| mr_steve | Anyone see this yet? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html | 05:19 |
| _diablo | mr_steve: yeah, I saw that | 06:07 |
| _diablo | very good | 06:07 |
| _diablo | although, now I'm realizing you posted that over an hour ago | 06:07 |
| _diablo | or less. | 06:07 |
| _diablo | argh. I'm drunk. Well. yeah. Ignore me. But I'm glad Google is stepping up. | 06:07 |
| mr_steve | indeed | 06:08 |
| Takyoji | That is insane: http://ajaxian.com/archives/gordon-flash-runtime-implemented-in-javascript | 20:45 |
| Takyoji | I wonder if we'll see Microsoft becoming an absolute minority in the smartphone industry (if it isn't already, supposedly) | 22:58 |
