nigelb | i386 or amd64? | 03:58 |
NongA_TongE | After checking the forums, I found a thread with some hope, I followed the instructions and downloaded and installed adobe's flash player for 9.04 apt. | 03:59 |
NongA_TongE | i386 | 03:59 |
NongA_TongE | still not working, | 03:59 |
NongA_TongE | someone else thought that it might be that the pcm volume is set to 0% | 03:59 |
NongA_TongE | can't figure out how to get to the Pcm control | 04:00 |
nigelb | why di you download the 9.04 apt? | 04:00 |
nigelb | isn't there a flash plugin in lucid | 04:00 |
NongA_TongE | there is but it doesn | 04:01 |
NongA_TongE | t | 04:01 |

NongA_TongE | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467907 | 04:01 |

NongA_TongE | yep. | 04:02 |

* starcraftman swoops in to the rescue with his amazing cape! | 04:03 | |
NongA_TongE | woohoo. | 04:04 |
starcraftman | you can tell it's amazing, it's got stars on it! | 04:04 |
NongA_TongE | nigelb, starcraftman, it may be a moot point, It works fine in Chrome, | 04:04 |
NongA_TongE | it's just firefox that appears to have the problem | 04:04 |
nigelb | NongA_TongE: try deleting your profile then | 04:05 |
nigelb | your profile may be corrupted | 04:05 |
NongA_TongE | my firefox profile? | 04:05 |
nigelb | yuo | 04:05 |
starcraftman | ah ha, flash with no volume, a not uncommon problem. You did check the pcm level yes? Also, backup firefox profile in case. | 04:05 |
nigelb | firefox -ProfileManager | 04:06 |
nigelb | and create a new profile and login with it and try | 04:06 |
NongA_TongE | starcraftman, how do I check pcm volume? | 04:06 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: ubuntu or kubuntu? | 04:06 |
NongA_TongE | Ubuntu | 04:06 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: mmm, open sound preferences from the lil volume icon, Applications tab > check its 100% for plugin. | 04:07 |
NongA_TongE | there is no 'lil volume icon, just pulse audio menu.... | 04:09 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: there's no volume icon in system tray? | 04:09 |
holstein | how about from terminal aplay -l | 04:11 |
holstein | well, you should still have an icon if you sound device is not installed | 04:12 |
holstein | maybe you just removed it from the panel by accident? | 04:12 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: there's also always just running basic alsamixer from terminal. You can see everything in there. PCM is one of the bars. Max it and any other ones then try flash again. | 04:12 |
holstein | hmmm | 04:13 |
starcraftman | hmmmm | 04:13 |
starcraftman | holstein: hey, I hmmmed first! | 04:14 |
holstein | lol | 04:14 |
=== `420 is now known as x[x] | ||
starcraftman | hehe | 04:14 |
starcraftman | oh well, he left. | 04:14 |
holstein | maybe his sound came back ;) | 04:15 |
starcraftman | I'm betting on net errors, people usually say bye. | 04:15 |
holstein | he ran alsamixer in the terminal, bumped up the volume on the hanson 'mmm-bop' youtube vid, and took off | 04:17 |
* holstein just recentlu learned about aplay -l | 04:17 | |
holstein | recently* | 04:17 |
holstein | and arecord -l | 04:17 |
holstein | handy for troubleshooting :) | 04:18 |
holstein | ive never used them for anything else, just -l | 04:18 |
NongA_TongE | starcraftman? | 04:30 |
NongA_TongE | sorry about that, just lost my connection. | 04:30 |
starcraftman | holstein: I win! | 04:31 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: hehe. figured so. | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | no, it was replaced by the pulseaudio applet | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | <NongA_TongE> which, strangely, I installed to try to find PCM levels | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | <NongA_TongE> lol | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | <NongA_TongE> however, If I go to "Sound" under "Preferences" I have an "Applications" tab, and the volume is all the way up. | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | <NongA_TongE> did I lose connection? | 04:31 |
NongA_TongE | that was ,what I saw last. | 04:31 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: can you open a terminal and just type in "alsamixer" with no quotes. You can check pcm from there. Make everything raised above 0. | 04:32 |
NongA_TongE | already did that. | 04:32 |
NongA_TongE | only thing that shows in alsamixer is Master | 04:32 |
NongA_TongE | and it is all the way up. | 04:33 |
NongA_TongE | wonder if I lost connection again | 04:34 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: really, bit odd, usually have at least 2 or 3/. Doh. Try aplay -l see if that comamnd pops up your audio device. | 04:34 |
starcraftman | I'm still here. | 04:35 |
NongA_TongE | waiting, waiting, | 04:35 |
holstein | ;) | 04:35 |
NongA_TongE | nothing for aplay. | 04:35 |
NongA_TongE | just a flashing cursor. | 04:36 |
holstein | aplay -l | 04:36 |
holstein | should list your available sound out's | 04:37 |
NongA_TongE | **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** | 04:37 |
NongA_TongE | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] | 04:37 |
NongA_TongE | Subdevices: 1/1 | 04:37 |

NongA_TongE | Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 04:37 |
holstein | OK | 04:37 |
holstein | so your good | 04:37 |
holstein | AND if you paste more that a few lines | 04:37 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: future reference, don't paste multilines into irc channel. Use pastebin. | 04:37 |
holstein | use pastebin | 04:37 |
NongA_TongE | sure enuf | 04:38 |
holstein | yeah, what starcraftman said ^^ :) | 04:38 |
NongA_TongE | paste.ubuntu.com right? | 04:38 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: aye, that works. Now hmmm, why no sound with flash, good question. | 04:39 |
NongA_TongE | only with firefox | 04:39 |
holstein | or just http://pastebin.com/ | 04:39 |
* NongA_TongE thinks that is an important distinction | 04:39 | |
NongA_TongE | honestly, I'm not tied to firefox. Chrome seems decent, and it works. as does opera, methinks | 04:40 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, what's the output of `lsb_release -r` | 04:40 |
holstein | so this is just sound with flash in FF ? | 04:41 |
NongA_TongE | Release: 10.04 | 04:41 |
holstein | other sound is OK ? | 04:41 |
NongA_TongE | yes sier | 04:41 |
NongA_TongE | all other sound is peachy-keen | 04:41 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, do you have other apps open when you have FF open? | 04:41 |
holstein | yeah, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 04:41 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, such as rhythmbox | 04:41 |
NongA_TongE | nay | 04:41 |
holstein | and enjoy the speed :) | 04:41 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, are you 100% sure ? | 04:41 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, because they can clog the pulse output line, and they stay connected even when the interface is closed | 04:42 |
paultag | ( or not playing ) | 04:42 |
NongA_TongE | yes, I used to have that problem in hardy, where ff couldn't grab the sound from the other app | 04:42 |
paultag | OK | 04:42 |
starcraftman | NongA_TongE: just a thought but firefox didn't like partially crash did it? Maybe just flash in firefox. See system monitor and make sure it's terminated. | 04:42 |
paultag | +1 starcraftman | 04:42 |
NongA_TongE | but I fixed it some time ago, and, nothing besides xchat or terminal | 04:42 |
* starcraftman has had too many such crashes. | 04:43 | |
holstein | yup | 04:43 |
NongA_TongE | no remaining firefox components running | 04:43 |
NongA_TongE | so far chrome is performing nicely compared to FF | 04:44 |
holstein | that had my vote too :/ | 04:44 |
NongA_TongE | I might just stick with it. | 04:44 |
starcraftman | hmmm, well that's weird. Any more ideas paultag? | 04:44 |
paultag | starcraftman, no. I wish I could say "Just use Chrome" but my guess is this affects other users too, and I'd love to solve it | 04:44 |
paultag | y'know | 04:45 |
starcraftman | I think I gotta leave atm now anyway, later. Crome should serve ya fine NongA_TongE, if ya don't mind our glorious overlord spying :p | 04:45 |
NongA_TongE | lol. | 04:45 |
NongA_TongE | I think I'll be good for now, I really appreciate your time, at any rate, gave me some good stuff to check. I'll keep looking and if I come up with a solution, I'll let y'all know. | 04:46 |
paultag | it's f/oss! | 04:46 |
paultag | NongA_TongE, thanks :) | 04:46 |
NongA_TongE | Y'all take it easy. | 04:47 |
iantlopp | I just got a contour shuttle pro 2 (used), and I'd like to know how to test to see if it's working. as it's not a keyboard, or mouse input device, there's no direct app I can find for testing the buttons, keypresses, shuttle motions, etc... | 05:07 |
iantlopp | is there any way to see/monitor usb information, i.e. what buttons are being pressed on a device attached via USB/ | 05:07 |
iantlopp | ? | 05:07 |
iantlopp | http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/5 is the website for the Shuttle Pro 2 | 05:18 |
iantlopp | I can't seem to add the repositories for cinellera :( | 05:28 |
iantlopp | it says they're added but neither synaptic nor aptitude can find cinellera afterwards | 05:29 |
iantlopp | I'm following the instructions listed at deb http://akirad.cinelerra.org akirad-YOURVERSION main | 05:29 |
iantlopp | err.. | 05:29 |
iantlopp | http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php listed there | 05:29 |
iantlopp | and no, I didn't leave "YOURVERSION" when I used that command. | 05:30 |
iantlopp | augh... stupid me, nevermind... I kept spelling it cinelerra in the search, no wonder it couldn't find it. | 05:34 |
iantlopp | heh | 05:34 |

Bodman456 | Hi guys! | 09:25 |
Bodman456 | Can you guys help me with a proxy issue? | 09:25 |
that_guy_ | hello? | 09:38 |
that_guy_ | I need help with Ubuntu | 09:38 |
that_guy_ | when I type in sudo apt-get install such and such I get E: Type 'dep-src' is not known on line 50 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. | 09:39 |
that_guy_ | help? | 09:39 |
geirha | dep-src on line 50 should probably be deb-src | 09:40 |
that_guy_ | im sorry but I only got Ubuntu like a week ago... where is the line 50? | 09:41 |
geirha | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:41 |
geirha | You don't know how that line got there? | 09:41 |
that_guy_ | no | 09:42 |
geirha | You must've run a script that edited it for you then. Apparently a broken script. | 09:42 |
that_guy_ | ahh... I think I have it... | 09:43 |
Bodman456 | Sure sounds like a broken script | 09:43 |
that_guy_ | I got the CD from Ubuntu site... | 09:43 |
that_guy_ | This has been a massive problem for me... | 09:43 |
geirha | 50+ line /etc/apt/sources.list. That's a massive size for a week old system. You've added a lot of repositories? | 09:45 |
that_guy_ | no i havent done anything with the repository since install | 09:45 |
geirha | That's a bit creepy ... an important system file's been changed without you knowing about it. | 09:46 |
that_guy_ | eek... | 09:46 |
geirha | System -> Administration -> Software Sources you've never used that? | 09:47 |
that_guy_ | I did for like one software | 09:47 |
that_guy_ | also, I just downloaded sound convert and how do I run it? | 09:47 |
geirha | Ah ok, you must've accidentaly changed the b to a p when adding that repository then | 09:48 |
that_guy_ | now i downloaded sound convert, how do I locate and run it? | 09:49 |
geirha | Not familiar with that app, but look in Applications -> Sound & Video | 09:49 |
that_guy_ | its not in there Im afraid | 09:51 |
geirha | Ok, then how did you "download it" ? | 09:51 |
that_guy_ | i used sudo apt-get install sound convert | 09:53 |
that_guy_ | soundconvert* | 09:53 |
geirha | I don't see any packages with that name. Try the Software center instead | 09:53 |
geirha | Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center, search for sound convert, then select the one you want and click install | 09:54 |
that_guy_ | oh yeah... My mistake!! its sound convertER! | 09:55 |
geirha | :) | 09:55 |
that_guy_ | thanks! | 09:56 |
geirha | yw | 09:56 |
that_guy_ | Ive book marked this page for later on! | 09:56 |
that_guy_ | real helpful | 09:56 |
that_guy__ | okay... :) Im back with another question... | 09:58 |
that_guy__ | is ogg files same as Mp3 files? | 09:59 |
geirha | No. They contain audio, but uses a different codec. | 10:01 |
that_guy__ | ahh. | 10:03 |
geirha | ogg is free and unrestricted, mp3 is restricted by patents | 10:04 |
geirha | That's why ubuntu supports ogg out-of-the box, but not mp3 | 10:04 |
that_guy__ | ahh... any software that can convert MPEG M4a files to mp3? | 10:04 |
geirha | In the software center, search for «ubuntu restricted extras» and install it. It will install lots of codecs, including mp3. | 10:07 |
geirha | After that, sound converter should be able to convert to mp3 | 10:07 |
nishanth | does any one know wat plugin is needed to play some live stream video which uses mms | 10:07 |
geirha | nishanth: Try gecko-mediaplayer | 10:08 |
that_guy_ | another question ;) | 10:09 |
that_guy_ | dvd's wont play on my comp | 10:09 |
nishanth | geriha well this is an online link . i tried many players like totem and vlc it did not work it needs some plugin | 10:09 |
geirha | nishanth: gecko-mediaplayer is a plugin for gecko browsers (like firefox) | 10:10 |
that_guy_ | i tried to download the plupin that allows me to play regional code locked dvd... | 10:10 |
geirha | that_guy_: help.ubuntu.com has info about that | 10:10 |
geirha | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html | 10:11 |
geirha | The movie industry encrypt dvds to prevent you from watching dvds on other players than the ones they decide. | 10:11 |
geirha | Luckily, there encryption is easy to crack ;) | 10:12 |
that_guy_ | YAY it works!! | 10:13 |
that_guy_ | My final and last question of the days is: How do I make Windows Mobile sync with my comp?? | 10:14 |
ZachK_ | Hi team | 10:14 |
nishanth | geriha it still did not work... is there any other plugin? | 10:15 |
ZachK_ | nishanth: Are you still trying to watch that video? | 10:16 |
nishanth | ZachK as a matter of fact yes | 10:17 |
geirha | that_guy_: That's beyond my expertize I'm afraid. | 10:17 |
geirha | nishanth: Then that site probably does alot of weird stuff to make it work better with windows media player or something like that. | 10:18 |
geirha | nishanth: It might not work with linux at all. Your best bet is to google it. ubuntu watch videos on <that site> | 10:19 |
that_guy_ | i was watching Atlantis land streaming live from the internet... is this the same? | 10:20 |
nishanth | geriha i dont think such a search would yeild anything | 10:20 |
nishanth | that_guy_ can you give me that link so that i can check to see if any live streaming works? | 10:21 |
geirha | nishanth: Well, I've been down that road myself. Some sites are simple and streams just fine, others have all kinds of windows-specific crap that breaks it for linux clients. I've given up trying to get those to work. | 10:22 |
that_guy_ | nishanth http://www.livestream.com/spaceflightnow | 10:22 |
nishanth | geriha as a matter of fact this worked a while back on linux and all of a sudden it stopped | 10:23 |
nishanth | that_guy_ it works for me | 10:23 |
geirha | nishanth: Then they probably made some "improvements" | 10:24 |
nishanth | that_guy_ can you tell me if this link works for you http://olangal.com/component/content/article/48-live-tv/1425-asianet-live.html | 10:25 |
that_guy_ | nishanth Im sorry but my intermet is capped and is taking forever to load | 10:28 |
nishanth | geriha unlike firefox for some odd reason when i open the link in chrome it keeps telling missing plugin | 10:29 |
nishanth | sayonara...to late already | 10:34 |

Phrea | I've got a bit of a question... :o | 18:15 |
Chesamo | PhreaL shoot | 18:16 |
Chesamo | Phrea:* | 18:16 |
Phrea | can you kind people please help me some time talk me through making my network work, so that I can share files between the computers? :o | 18:16 |
Chesamo | Phrea: I assume using Ubuntu? | 18:16 |
Phrea | I know it's a lot to ask, and the forums might be better, but I'm better with doing things on the fly, with support | 18:16 |
Phrea | ChanServ: yes, twice Ubuntu, once Xubuntu | 18:17 |
Phrea | I dont have windows | 18:17 |
Phrea | I'm NOT talking about now | 18:17 |
Chesamo | ChanServ? Interesting tabcomplete. | 18:17 |
Phrea | but, you know, some day | 18:17 |
Phrea | oh, sorry :D | 18:17 |
Phrea | I'm rather lazy | 18:17 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Oh, you mean "would you be able to do that"? Then sure | 18:17 |
Phrea | that shouldnt even tabcomplete | 18:17 |
Phrea | yea | 18:17 |
Phrea | I'm better doing that stuff 'live' | 18:18 |
Chesamo | Phrea: I know, right? Interesting oversight | 18:18 |
Phrea | not now, but maybe next week or so | 18:18 |
Phrea | I thought I might first ask permission, because normally one would use the forums | 18:18 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Yeah, don't worry about it. Not like there's any restriction on what can or can't be done in here | 18:18 |
Phrea | true, but it is a bit much maybe, it could take several hours... | 18:19 |
Phrea | I've been lurking here for a year now, and this teaches me even more than the forums | 18:19 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Network sharing? Doesn't take too long. | 18:20 |
Phrea | ah, ok :) | 18:20 |
Phrea | haha | 18:20 |
Phrea | thanks in advance :) | 18:20 |
Phrea | you guys rule | 18:20 |
Phrea | I've completely switched to Linux on all my computers within one year | 18:21 |
Phrea | it's amazing | 18:21 |
Phrea | it just works | 18:21 |
Phrea | now this networking thing, and I'm set ! | 18:21 |
Chesamo | Phrea: That's really good to hear :D | 18:22 |
Phrea | yea, it is, isnt it? :) | 18:22 |
Phrea | everything works | 18:22 |
Phrea | there's nothing that doesnt | 18:23 |
Phrea | at all | 18:23 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Most of the time ;-) | 18:23 |
Phrea | for me, everything, on every computer, with every kind of configuration | 18:23 |
Phrea | sometimes one has to do some minor things, but that's it | 18:23 |
Phrea | even my Olympus camera with xD [grrr] works now :D | 18:24 |
Phrea | maybe I'm lucky | 18:24 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Don't worry, I have the same experience. | 18:24 |
Phrea | great :) | 18:24 |
Phrea | how long have you been using Ubuntu and/or Linux? | 18:25 |
Chesamo | Phrea: About four years now | 18:26 |
Phrea | ah, nice | 18:26 |
Phrea | fulltime? | 18:26 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Sadly no. Primary systems, yes, but work and school dictates otherwise. | 18:26 |
Chesamo | dictate* | 18:26 |
Phrea | oh ah | 18:26 |
Phrea | I've been using it fulltime for about 10 months now | 18:27 |
Phrea | [but I'm a very slow learner] | 18:27 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Though I've lucked out... the lab I've been employed at since November allows me to run Ubuntu as my primary system. Gotta have a Mac on my desk just in case, though. | 18:27 |
Phrea | aha, nice ! | 18:27 |
Phrea | why the mac? | 18:27 |
Phrea | and could you elaborate about 'the lab' you speak of? :) | 18:28 |
asterismo | hi people | 18:28 |
Phrea | 'lo | 18:28 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Macs are hot in the physics world these days... I'd honestly prefer Windows over it because the Linux/UNIX design paradigms are so much closer to it than OSX. | 18:29 |
Chesamo | Phrea: http://stl.uml.edu/ | 18:29 |
Phrea | oooh, you are a smart [wo]man ! | 18:30 |
Phrea | :o | 18:30 |
Phrea | I'm not even half as smart | 18:30 |
Phrea | haha | 18:30 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Good call with the brackets | 18:31 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Nah, I'm just a college sophomore who was in the right place at the right time ;-) | 18:31 |
Phrea | still, you are smart :) | 18:31 |
Phrea | I'm not all that smart | 18:31 |
Phrea | so what is it? is it with or without brackets? | 18:31 |
Chesamo | Phrea: "Smart" is subjective, believe me. Go to the Staff page and look at Jerry Waldman... that man is a freaking genius | 18:32 |
Chesamo | Phrea: With | 18:32 |
Chesamo | phrea: and by that I mean include | 18:32 |
Phrea | ah, ok :) | 18:32 |
Phrea | I never know, and I don't really care either :) | 18:32 |
Phrea | the only thing now is, if I would ever ask, I'd ask how young you are, and not how old you are :D | 18:33 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Fair enough. It's usually safe to assume male unless otherwise told ;-) | 18:33 |
Chesamo | Phrea: hahaha. | 18:33 |
Phrea | I never assume | 18:33 |
Phrea | a lot of people think I'm female | 18:33 |
Phrea | because of my nick [it ends with an a, it seems that one is then considered female] | 18:33 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Oh don't worry. My situation is more complicated than most... I'm physically male. | 18:34 |
Phrea | oh ok :) | 18:34 |
Phrea | no need to explain any further | 18:34 |
Phrea | I dont care either way | 18:34 |
Chesamo | Phrea: But yeah, I'm glad STL allows me to use Ubuntu for my normal work. We use a programming language called LabVIEW, and once I discovered there's a Linux version I pounced on it | 18:35 |
Phrea | I'm male, physically and mentally, if you care to know :) | 18:35 |
Phrea | ah | 18:36 |
Phrea | cool :) | 18:36 |
Phrea | I can chose whatever I want | 18:36 |
Phrea | I don't work | 18:36 |
Chesamo | Phrea: Ah hah, fair enough | 18:36 |
Phrea | so for me, I chose Linux over Windows | 18:36 |
Phrea | Chesamo: see, everybody has a 'story' :D | 18:37 |
Chesamo | Phrea: A 'story' in what sense? | 18:37 |
Phrea | well, everybody has something that makes them unique :) | 18:37 |
Phrea | that is all | 18:37 |
Chesamo | ah | 18:37 |
Phrea | I'm sorry if I said it wrong | 18:37 |
Phrea | didn't mean anything by it | 18:38 |
Chesamo | No, it was just a little vague | 18:38 |
Phrea | yea I know, sorry | 18:38 |
Chesamo | Oh, motion to move this conversation into PM? We're kinda flooding the channel. | 18:38 |
Phrea | ok :) | 18:38 |

nishanth | does any one know how to make a live stream video play that uses mms plugin? | 23:41 |
holstein | nishanth: have you tried VLC ? | 23:41 |
nishanth | holstein oh i have tried all players i know of | 23:42 |
holstein | whats the stream? | 23:43 |
nishanth | holstein this video used to work in chrome before ..but now after i reinstall lucid it does not work | 23:43 |
nishanth | holstein http://olangal.com/component/content/article/48-live-tv/1425-asianet-live.html | 23:43 |
nishanth | holstein does it work for yo? | 23:44 |
holstein | ill try chromium for a laugh | 23:44 |
holstein | not in FF | 23:45 |
nishanth | holstein it does not work in FF or chrome | 23:47 |
holstein | im not having any luck | 23:49 |
holstein | i would contact the site | 23:50 |
holstein | and ask just what your suppose to watch it with | 23:50 |
holstein | looks like its been locked down for some reason | 23:50 |
nishanth | holstein well it works in wondows | 23:52 |
nishanth | windows | 23:52 |
holstein | yeah | 23:52 |
holstein | the activeX | 23:52 |
holstein | its doesnt work for me on OSX | 23:52 |
holstein | or linux | 23:52 |
holstein | in any browser | 23:52 |
holstein | you should send a strongly worded email | 23:53 |
nishanth | wat is OSX? | 23:53 |
holstein | i would install FF with wine | 23:53 |
holstein | and see if it works that way | 23:53 |
holstein | i only tried chrome in OSX | 23:53 |
ddecator | nishanth: OSX is the Mac OS | 23:54 |
holstein | OH | 23:54 |
holstein | yeah | 23:55 |
holstein | my bad | 23:55 |
holstein | i though you said what 'in' OSX | 23:55 |
holstein | like what browser | 23:55 |
ddecator | totem tries to play it when i go to that site, but says it can't read the source | 23:55 |
ddecator | i'm not sure there is anything for linux that can get activex-dependent things like this to work properly | 23:56 |
holstein | FF in wine would be worth a try | 23:57 |
ddecator | wine is probably the only way that might work (as holstein already suggested), but i'm not sure if it will or not | 23:57 |
holstein | BUT yeah, im not sure about activeX in there | 23:57 |
