[00:23] highvoltage: ah ok [00:23] stgraber: are edubuntu hosting any openweek sessions? [00:40] My clients are not connecting to my new 9.1 install. [00:41] I already had some trouble configuring dns so guess that my eth1 also needs configuring but I dont know how - [00:41] Anyone able to help a Noobie? [01:12] * bencrisford thinks 1.10am is time for bed... [01:12] night all [09:18] Is any oneavailable for support? === sparker is now known as sparker100 [10:19] * bencrisford is a bit concerned about gcompris [10:20] the games are really neat, my 4 year old cousin really enjoyed himself on it [10:20] but when its not in a game [10:20] it crashes every 30 seconds [10:20] and eventually it renders my pc useless and i have to reboot [10:21] reboot by pressing the power button, which i despise doing [10:21] it makes me wonder whether we should include something in our packages that could damage someones computer... [10:21] it needs *alot* of attention === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage [13:36] bencrisford: I've never had a problem with gCompris before, what version are you running? [13:39] mhall119: im not entirely sure, but it is updating so i obviously dont have the latest.. but i came back to ubuntu a week ago so whatever version i have it was the latest a week ago [13:39] i never used to have trouble with it [13:39] but now it hangs, and takes a long time to load up stuff [13:39] once you are in a game it runs fine [13:39] but i have trouble getting back to the main menu and quitting [13:41] bencrisford: on 10.04? [13:42] yes [13:42] hmm, I'll have to try it [13:42] my lil cousin absolutely loved the games, well the one we got working... [13:42] I ran it on alpha 2 without a problem [13:43] it has all kinds of good stuff for 4 year olds [13:43] childsplay too [13:43] well i dont see how it would be my hardware, when ive just spent 3 hours playing heroes of newerth without trouble :P [13:43] yeah [13:43] i wasnt sure how good the content was, so i was interested to see what he thought [13:44] and he loved the number matching game with the butterflies [13:47] could be an sdl bug or something [13:47] hmm [13:47] try childsplay and see if it does the same [13:47] well, im just concerned about it because we now know that people are using edubuntu for stuff like educating aids orphans... [13:47] and they cant afford to have their computers broke.. [13:49] i dont have childsplay installed, hang on, ill install now [13:50] when you're at the main gCompris screen, do you hear music playing? [13:50] I ship gCompris with Qimo, which is used by a lot of low income families, or ones with special needs kids, so I know how important it is that things just work [13:51] yeah i hear the music :) [13:51] childsplay seems to work fine btw [14:05] hmmm.... [14:05] I'll check it out, need to rebase Qimo on the beta today anyway [14:14] mhall119: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs/+packagebugs-search?field.distribution=ubuntu&field.sourcepackagename=gcompris&search=Search [14:14] there seem to be a few reports of crashes/hangs there... [21:28] Hi [21:28] I need help with something [21:30] Johnkx: whats the problem? :) [21:32] Hi [21:32] Uhm [21:32] there's something wrong with the flash plug-in on youtube [21:32] whenever I try to watch [21:32] Johnkx: ok, have you recently installed/upgraded your edubuntu? [21:32] I can't move that bar for viewing and I can't click on the pause button too [21:32] oh.. I'm not using edubuntu, just ubuntu [21:33] >_> I guess there's a difference huh [21:33] oh :/, this is the edubuntu channel, but i might be able to help you anyway [21:33] next time, try #ubuntu [21:33] cool thanks [21:33] so you can view the video? [21:33] oh ok [21:33] just not control it? [21:33] yes I can [21:33] yep [21:33] hmm [21:33] you're using firefox? [21:33] yes [21:34] Firefox ver. 3.5.8 For ubuntu [21:34] canonical - 1.0 [21:34] has this suddenly stopped working? or is it a new install? [21:34] its a new install [21:35] I tried using other flash plugins but adobe's the only one that works [21:35] works but not perfectly :P [21:36] do you have 64bit? [21:36] yes [21:36] did you download the 64bit flash plugin? [21:37] http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [21:37] oh, I didn't download it from this site [21:37] thats an alpha development version [21:37] so you might not want to try it.. [21:38] dont install that just yet.. [21:38] I got mine by using the install missing plugins that shows up whenever you don't have a flash plugin [21:38] oh ok [21:38] do you have desktop effects? [21:38] yes [21:38] compiz? [21:38] yep [21:38] run: [21:38] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [21:38] in terminal [21:38] tell me when thats done [21:39] done [21:39] now run ccsm [21:39] and disable the video plugin [21:39] "Video Playback" [21:40] oh ok [21:40] done [21:40] now try youtube [21:40] if it still doesnt work, try re-enabling. i have looked on forums and someone tried disabling and found it worked when they re-enabled after [21:41] hows it looking? [21:41] i still can't click it [21:42] should I try re-enabling it? [21:42] give it a go [21:42] im not sure why it would work, but people have said it does [21:42] for some reason youtube's site is really slow at this time [21:43] btw, you did restart firefox before testing it? after you disabled video playback? [21:43] yes [21:43] ok goof [21:43] good* [21:43] and any other apps using flash? [21:43] nope [21:44] well disable video and close all applications using flash [21:44] then open firefox and try youtube [21:44] :) [21:44] ok [21:45] hows it going?? [21:45] not working [21:46] and restarting + re-enabling? [21:47] yeah I've been trying it for a while [21:47] no luck [21:49] ok [21:49] alright, im running out of suggestions [21:49] try disabling desktop effects [21:49] and seeing if it will work [21:50] that way we can find out if it is compiz that is the problem [21:50] if it is, then we can re-enable and find a fix, else we can find out what the problem is [21:50] ok [21:50] I just disabled visual effects [21:50] be sure to restart the flash applications first [21:51] from Appearance preference and yea i closed it already [21:51] ok [21:51] omg.. [21:51] found the problem [21:51] haha [21:51] ? :P [21:51] It was the visual effects [21:52] ok, now we have to find a fix [21:53] on forums a few people have suggested different things [21:55] so yeah basically whenever I enable Visual effects on Extra my flash doesn't work properly [21:55] and when i turn it off it works [21:55] the problem is compiz+flash [21:55] ahh [21:56] Johnkx: try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in the flash configuration [21:57] ok [21:57] btw just so you know, I can't enable/disable the hardware acceleration when my VE is working [21:58] try changing it while VE is off, and see if that makes a difference [21:58] yeah I did that too [21:58] I just turned it off and it did [21:58] and I used VE again and see if it works, but it didn't [21:59] mhall119: it sounds like compiz is fine, flash is fine, but together they dont work [21:59] ohh [21:59] yeah, sounds just like that [21:59] mhall119: hes using 64bit, and compiz has always been a bit buggy there [22:00] I didn't even know flash was working on 64bit these days [22:00] i hear its still pretty bad... [22:01] but it must work, because Johnkx can view youtube when V.Effects are off [22:01] yeah I can view youtube even if its on/off [22:01] its just that I can't click it properly [22:01] like pausing it [22:01] or moving the time bar [22:01] sometimes it works, but mostly it doesnt [22:02] like when I spam click on it, It takes maybe 30-50 clicks before it pauses [22:02] lol [22:02] during when V.E is on [22:02] everything works perfectly when its off [22:02] has anyone seen drawpile? [22:03] http://sourceforge.net/projects/drawpile/ [22:05] Johnkx: i have found another thread on forums... they seem to be suggesting pretty much the same things we have been [22:05] takes 4ever to download lol [22:05] ohh [22:05] I see [22:05] Johnkx: theres a couple of things there we havent tried [22:06] oh cool lets try it [22:07] try editing /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer [22:08] and add this line the line before last: [22:08] export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 [22:08] thats what the guy on forums says... [22:08] where can I see that /usr/lib/nsplugwin thingy [22:08] should I type it in the terminal? [22:09] you could go into terminal and type: [22:09] sudo nano /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer [22:10] then add a line just before the last one [22:10] export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 [22:10] someone on forums suggested it [22:12] once you have edited it [22:12] press Ctrl+X [22:12] then say yes to saving [22:14] Johnkx: hows it going? [22:14] lol sorry I'm really slow on using terminal. font is screwed up lol [22:15] lol sorry [22:15] whemn [22:15] when I try to press ctrl - x [22:15] it says xoff ignored, mumble muble [22:16] ok, close without saving [22:16] i dont feel confident suggesting this... [22:16] i dont want to risk you breaking anything [22:16] oh [22:18] kk =p [22:18] theres the 64bit flash download... but thats an alpha version, so it doesnt come without risk either [22:18] oh [22:18] I guess I'll wait for the beta [22:20] just wondering, how come they say Linux is better than windows, but linux has a lot of things that still doesn't work [22:27] sorry about that [22:27] Johnkx: did i miss any messages from you? [22:27] i had computer trouble ;) [22:30] Johnkx: im sorry, i have to go [22:31] are you around later? we could have another go at your flash [22:31] bbl [22:45] ahh na you didn't [22:45] sorry about the late rep lol [22:46] yeah sure, we can fix it later. Thanks btw [23:47] night everyone
