=== x[x] is now known as `420 [00:58] lukjad86: sup [03:58] Help! - Flash sound doesn't work in firefox 3.6.3 in my shiny new 10.04 upgrade. [03:58] i386 or amd64? [03:59] 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] i386 [03:59] still not working, [03:59] someone else thought that it might be that the pcm volume is set to 0% [04:00] can't figure out how to get to the Pcm control [04:00] why di you download the 9.04 apt? [04:00] isn't there a flash plugin in lucid [04:01] there is but it doesn [04:01] t [04:01] it works fine for me on i386 [04:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467907 [04:02] have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? It generally has all the plugins you want [04:02] yep. [04:02] ok, so flash works and no volume? [04:02] yessir === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 [04:03] ok, thats going to take longer to figure out and I have to run out [04:03] lemme find someone to help you [04:03] * starcraftman swoops in to the rescue with his amazing cape! [04:04] woohoo. [04:04] you can tell it's amazing, it's got stars on it! [04:04] nigelb, starcraftman, it may be a moot point, It works fine in Chrome, [04:04] it's just firefox that appears to have the problem [04:05] NongA_TongE: try deleting your profile then [04:05] your profile may be corrupted [04:05] my firefox profile? [04:05] yuo [04:05] ah ha, flash with no volume, a not uncommon problem. You did check the pcm level yes? Also, backup firefox profile in case. [04:06] firefox -ProfileManager [04:06] and create a new profile and login with it and try [04:06] starcraftman, how do I check pcm volume? [04:06] NongA_TongE: ubuntu or kubuntu? [04:06] Ubuntu [04:07] NongA_TongE: mmm, open sound preferences from the lil volume icon, Applications tab > check its 100% for plugin. [04:09] there is no 'lil volume icon, just pulse audio menu.... [04:09] NongA_TongE: there's no volume icon in system tray? [04:11] how about from terminal aplay -l [04:12] well, you should still have an icon if you sound device is not installed [04:12] maybe you just removed it from the panel by accident? [04:12] 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. [04:13] hmmm [04:13] hmmmm [04:14] holstein: hey, I hmmmed first! [04:14] lol === `420 is now known as x[x] [04:14] hehe [04:14] oh well, he left. [04:15] maybe his sound came back ;) [04:15] I'm betting on net errors, people usually say bye. [04:17] 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] recently* [04:17] and arecord -l [04:18] handy for troubleshooting :) [04:18] ive never used them for anything else, just -l [04:30] starcraftman? [04:30] sorry about that, just lost my connection. [04:31] holstein: I win! [04:31] NongA_TongE: hehe. figured so. [04:31] no, it was replaced by the pulseaudio applet [04:31] which, strangely, I installed to try to find PCM levels [04:31] lol [04:31] however, If I go to "Sound" under "Preferences" I have an "Applications" tab, and the volume is all the way up. [04:31] did I lose connection? [04:31] that was ,what I saw last. [04:32] 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] already did that. [04:32] only thing that shows in alsamixer is Master [04:33] and it is all the way up. [04:34] wonder if I lost connection again [04:34] 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. [04:35] I'm still here. [04:35] waiting, waiting, [04:35] ;) [04:35] nothing for aplay. [04:36] just a flashing cursor. [04:36] aplay -l [04:37] should list your available sound out's [04:37] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [04:37] card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] [04:37] Subdevices: 1/1 [04:37] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [04:37] card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: INTEL HDMI [INTEL HDMI] [04:37] Subdevices: 1/1 [04:37] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [04:37] OK [04:37] so your good [04:37] AND if you paste more that a few lines [04:37] NongA_TongE: future reference, don't paste multilines into irc channel. Use pastebin. [04:37] use pastebin [04:38] sure enuf [04:38] yeah, what starcraftman said ^^ :) [04:38] paste.ubuntu.com right? [04:39] NongA_TongE: aye, that works. Now hmmm, why no sound with flash, good question. [04:39] only with firefox [04:39] or just http://pastebin.com/ [04:39] * NongA_TongE thinks that is an important distinction [04:40] honestly, I'm not tied to firefox. Chrome seems decent, and it works. as does opera, methinks [04:40] NongA_TongE, what's the output of `lsb_release -r` [04:41] so this is just sound with flash in FF ? [04:41] Release: 10.04 [04:41] other sound is OK ? [04:41] yes sier [04:41] all other sound is peachy-keen [04:41] NongA_TongE, do you have other apps open when you have FF open? [04:41] yeah, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [04:41] NongA_TongE, such as rhythmbox [04:41] nay [04:41] and enjoy the speed :) [04:41] NongA_TongE, are you 100% sure ? [04:42] NongA_TongE, because they can clog the pulse output line, and they stay connected even when the interface is closed [04:42] ( or not playing ) [04:42] yes, I used to have that problem in hardy, where ff couldn't grab the sound from the other app [04:42] OK [04:42] 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] +1 starcraftman [04:42] but I fixed it some time ago, and, nothing besides xchat or terminal [04:43] * starcraftman has had too many such crashes. [04:43] yup [04:43] no remaining firefox components running [04:44] so far chrome is performing nicely compared to FF [04:44] that had my vote too :/ [04:44] I might just stick with it. [04:44] hmmm, well that's weird. Any more ideas paultag? [04:44] 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 [04:45] y'know [04:45] 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] lol. [04:46] 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] it's f/oss! [04:46] NongA_TongE, thanks :) [04:47] Y'all take it easy. [05:07] 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] is there any way to see/monitor usb information, i.e. what buttons are being pressed on a device attached via USB/ [05:07] ? [05:18] http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/5 is the website for the Shuttle Pro 2 [05:28] I can't seem to add the repositories for cinellera :( [05:29] it says they're added but neither synaptic nor aptitude can find cinellera afterwards [05:29] I'm following the instructions listed at deb http://akirad.cinelerra.org akirad-YOURVERSION main [05:29] err.. [05:29] http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php listed there [05:30] and no, I didn't leave "YOURVERSION" when I used that command. [05:34] augh... stupid me, nevermind... I kept spelling it cinelerra in the search, no wonder it couldn't find it. [05:34] heh [05:52] \join #ubuntu-offtopic [05:52] argh [06:40] hi people [06:41] i just wanted to say that i started a new blog about ubuntu [06:41] i'm from uruguay LoCo [06:41] padawan of PabloRubianes [06:41] and the difference is that this blog is in english [06:41] this is the blog [06:41] http://ubuntherapy.blogspot.com [06:42] and i wanted to say that i made my wiki page at the uruguayan community [06:42] this is the link, and it is also in english [06:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/santiago-roland [06:43] that's it [06:43] feel free to make comments, and i apologize for my (sometimes) poor english [08:24] does any one know wat plugin is needed to play some live stream video which uses mms [08:55] good morning [09:04] does any one know wat plugin is needed to play some live stream video which uses mms [09:19] gecko-mediaplayer should handle it. [09:25] Hi guys! [09:25] Can you guys help me with a proxy issue? [09:38] hello? [09:38] I need help with Ubuntu [09:39] 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] help? [09:40] dep-src on line 50 should probably be deb-src [09:41] im sorry but I only got Ubuntu like a week ago... where is the line 50? [09:41] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [09:41] You don't know how that line got there? [09:42] no [09:42] You must've run a script that edited it for you then. Apparently a broken script. [09:43] ahh... I think I have it... [09:43] Sure sounds like a broken script [09:43] I got the CD from Ubuntu site... [09:43] This has been a massive problem for me... [09:45] 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] no i havent done anything with the repository since install [09:46] That's a bit creepy ... an important system file's been changed without you knowing about it. [09:46] eek... [09:47] System -> Administration -> Software Sources you've never used that? [09:47] I did for like one software [09:47] also, I just downloaded sound convert and how do I run it? [09:48] Ah ok, you must've accidentaly changed the b to a p when adding that repository then [09:49] now i downloaded sound convert, how do I locate and run it? [09:49] Not familiar with that app, but look in Applications -> Sound & Video [09:51] its not in there Im afraid [09:51] Ok, then how did you "download it" ? [09:53] i used sudo apt-get install sound convert [09:53] soundconvert* [09:53] I don't see any packages with that name. Try the Software center instead [09:54] Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center, search for sound convert, then select the one you want and click install [09:55] oh yeah... My mistake!! its sound convertER! [09:55] :) [09:56] thanks! [09:56] yw [09:56] Ive book marked this page for later on! [09:56] real helpful [09:58] okay... :) Im back with another question... [09:59] is ogg files same as Mp3 files? [10:01] No. They contain audio, but uses a different codec. [10:03] ahh. [10:04] ogg is free and unrestricted, mp3 is restricted by patents [10:04] That's why ubuntu supports ogg out-of-the box, but not mp3 [10:04] ahh... any software that can convert MPEG M4a files to mp3? [10:07] In the software center, search for «ubuntu restricted extras» and install it. It will install lots of codecs, including mp3. [10:07] After that, sound converter should be able to convert to mp3 [10:07] does any one know wat plugin is needed to play some live stream video which uses mms [10:08] nishanth: Try gecko-mediaplayer [10:09] another question ;) [10:09] dvd's wont play on my comp [10:09] geriha well this is an online link . i tried many players like totem and vlc it did not work it needs some plugin [10:10] nishanth: gecko-mediaplayer is a plugin for gecko browsers (like firefox) [10:10] i tried to download the plupin that allows me to play regional code locked dvd... [10:10] that_guy_: help.ubuntu.com has info about that [10:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html [10:11] The movie industry encrypt dvds to prevent you from watching dvds on other players than the ones they decide. [10:12] Luckily, there encryption is easy to crack ;) [10:13] YAY it works!! [10:14] My final and last question of the days is: How do I make Windows Mobile sync with my comp?? [10:14] Hi team [10:15] geriha it still did not work... is there any other plugin? [10:16] nishanth: Are you still trying to watch that video? [10:17] ZachK as a matter of fact yes [10:17] that_guy_: That's beyond my expertize I'm afraid. [10:18] nishanth: Then that site probably does alot of weird stuff to make it work better with windows media player or something like that. [10:19] nishanth: It might not work with linux at all. Your best bet is to google it. ubuntu watch videos on [10:20] i was watching Atlantis land streaming live from the internet... is this the same? [10:20] geriha i dont think such a search would yeild anything [10:21] that_guy_ can you give me that link so that i can check to see if any live streaming works? [10:22] 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] nishanth http://www.livestream.com/spaceflightnow [10:23] geriha as a matter of fact this worked a while back on linux and all of a sudden it stopped [10:23] that_guy_ it works for me [10:24] nishanth: Then they probably made some "improvements" [10:25] 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 [10:28] nishanth Im sorry but my intermet is capped and is taking forever to load [10:29] geriha unlike firefox for some odd reason when i open the link in chrome it keeps telling missing plugin [10:34] sayonara...to late already [11:45] Question: Is it possible to run ubuntu server from WRT160NL USB drive log in and configure via remote [11:46] trying to setup remote ubuntu server in house always on..... === Guest44340 is now known as compiledkernel [14:58] Hello there === Guilherme is now known as Guest92879 [14:58] I have a question about the installation of Ubuntu, anyone? [14:58] morning Guest92879, go ahead and ask instead of asking if you can ask :) [14:59] hehehe ok, I have windows 7 installed on my Pc and I'd like to know if I can install Ubunt without removing my windows (I've tryied that "windows installer" but it gets an error so I've download the ISO file) [14:59] definitely [15:00] do you mean you tried Wubi? [15:00] yes, and it gets and error ... so I had to download the ISO file [15:00] an error* [15:01] ok. if you place the .iso in the same folder as wubi.exe, it should detect it. does it still get an error then? [15:02] I haven't tried this ... just put the ISO file in the root folder? [15:02] in whatever folder the wubi.exe file is [15:02] ok then, i'm @ work now but later I'll try this .. thanks for your help ddecator :) [15:03] no problem :) [16:19] how come my ubuntu boxes don't ever show up on my router/firewall by name, but windows, mac os, and even my directv does....am i missing a setting? [16:20] by hostname, sorry....so for some boxes on my network I can say http://tomato, but for my ubuntu boxes, I have to know the ip addresss [16:25] okay, I found something in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [16:26] it currently has: [16:26] send host-name ""; [16:26] i see online you can do: send host-name "hairybobscomputer"; [16:26] is there a way to just say something more like send host-name "$hostname";?????? [17:00] bin10101: what does : sudo /bin/hostname [17:00] return [17:01] bobsubuntu [17:07] hmmm [17:10] bin10101: see if this post helps at all [17:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1087770.html [17:14] k thanks, I will check it out [18:15] I've got a bit of a question... :o [18:16] PhreaL shoot [18:16] Phrea:* [18:16] 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] Phrea: I assume using Ubuntu? [18:16] 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 [18:17] ChanServ: yes, twice Ubuntu, once Xubuntu [18:17] I dont have windows [18:17] I'm NOT talking about now [18:17] ChanServ? Interesting tabcomplete. [18:17] but, you know, some day [18:17] oh, sorry :D [18:17] I'm rather lazy [18:17] Phrea: Oh, you mean "would you be able to do that"? Then sure [18:17] that shouldnt even tabcomplete [18:17] yea [18:18] I'm better doing that stuff 'live' [18:18] Phrea: I know, right? Interesting oversight [18:18] not now, but maybe next week or so [18:18] I thought I might first ask permission, because normally one would use the forums [18:18] Phrea: Yeah, don't worry about it. Not like there's any restriction on what can or can't be done in here [18:19] true, but it is a bit much maybe, it could take several hours... [18:19] I've been lurking here for a year now, and this teaches me even more than the forums [18:20] Phrea: Network sharing? Doesn't take too long. [18:20] ah, ok :) [18:20] haha [18:20] thanks in advance :) [18:20] you guys rule [18:21] I've completely switched to Linux on all my computers within one year [18:21] it's amazing [18:21] it just works [18:21] now this networking thing, and I'm set ! [18:22] Phrea: That's really good to hear :D [18:22] yea, it is, isnt it? :) [18:22] everything works [18:23] there's nothing that doesnt [18:23] at all [18:23] Phrea: Most of the time ;-) [18:23] for me, everything, on every computer, with every kind of configuration [18:23] sometimes one has to do some minor things, but that's it [18:24] even my Olympus camera with xD [grrr] works now :D [18:24] maybe I'm lucky [18:24] Phrea: Don't worry, I have the same experience. [18:24] great :) [18:25] how long have you been using Ubuntu and/or Linux? [18:26] Phrea: About four years now [18:26] ah, nice [18:26] fulltime? [18:26] Phrea: Sadly no. Primary systems, yes, but work and school dictates otherwise. [18:26] dictate* [18:26] oh ah [18:27] I've been using it fulltime for about 10 months now [18:27] [but I'm a very slow learner] [18:27] 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] aha, nice ! [18:27] why the mac? [18:28] and could you elaborate about 'the lab' you speak of? :) [18:28] hi people [18:28] 'lo [18:29] 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] Phrea: http://stl.uml.edu/ [18:30] oooh, you are a smart [wo]man ! [18:30] :o [18:30] I'm not even half as smart [18:30] haha [18:31] Phrea: Good call with the brackets [18:31] Phrea: Nah, I'm just a college sophomore who was in the right place at the right time ;-) [18:31] still, you are smart :) [18:31] I'm not all that smart [18:31] so what is it? is it with or without brackets? [18:32] Phrea: "Smart" is subjective, believe me. Go to the Staff page and look at Jerry Waldman... that man is a freaking genius [18:32] Phrea: With [18:32] phrea: and by that I mean include [18:32] ah, ok :) [18:32] I never know, and I don't really care either :) [18:33] 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] Phrea: Fair enough. It's usually safe to assume male unless otherwise told ;-) [18:33] Phrea: hahaha. [18:33] I never assume [18:33] a lot of people think I'm female [18:33] because of my nick [it ends with an a, it seems that one is then considered female] [18:34] Phrea: Oh don't worry. My situation is more complicated than most... I'm physically male. [18:34] oh ok :) [18:34] no need to explain any further [18:34] I dont care either way [18:35] 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] I'm male, physically and mentally, if you care to know :) [18:36] ah [18:36] cool :) [18:36] I can chose whatever I want [18:36] I don't work [18:36] Phrea: Ah hah, fair enough [18:36] so for me, I chose Linux over Windows [18:37] Chesamo: see, everybody has a 'story' :D [18:37] Phrea: A 'story' in what sense? [18:37] well, everybody has something that makes them unique :) [18:37] that is all [18:37] ah [18:37] I'm sorry if I said it wrong [18:38] didn't mean anything by it [18:38] No, it was just a little vague [18:38] yea I know, sorry [18:38] Oh, motion to move this conversation into PM?
