[03:58] <NongA_TongE> Help! -  Flash sound doesn't work in firefox 3.6.3 in my shiny new 10.04 upgrade.
[03:58] <nigelb> i386 or amd64?
[03:59] <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%
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <NongA_TongE> there is but it doesn
[04:01] <NongA_TongE> t
[04:01] <nigelb> it works fine for me on i386
[04:01] <NongA_TongE> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467907
[04:02] <nigelb> have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? It generally has all the plugins you want
[04:02] <NongA_TongE> yep.
[04:02] <nigelb> ok, so flash works and no volume?
[04:02] <NongA_TongE> yessir
[04:03] <nigelb> ok, thats going to take longer to figure out and I have to run out
[04:03] <nigelb> lemme find someone to help you
[04:03]  * starcraftman swoops in to the rescue with his amazing cape!
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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.
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <starcraftman> NongA_TongE: mmm, open sound preferences from the lil volume icon, Applications tab > check its 100% for plugin.
[04:09] <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?
[04:11] <holstein> how about from terminal aplay -l
[04:12] <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.
[04:13] <holstein> hmmm
[04:13] <starcraftman> hmmmm
[04:14] <starcraftman> holstein: hey, I hmmmed first!
[04:14] <holstein> lol
[04:14] <starcraftman> hehe
[04:14] <starcraftman> oh well, he left.
[04:15] <holstein> maybe his sound came back ;)
[04:15] <starcraftman> I'm betting on net errors, people usually say bye.
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <holstein> handy for troubleshooting :)
[04:18] <holstein> ive never used them for anything else, just -l
[04:30] <NongA_TongE> starcraftman?
[04:30] <NongA_TongE> sorry about that,  just lost my connection.
[04:31] <starcraftman> holstein: I win!
[04:31] <starcraftman> NongA_TongE: hehe. figured so.
[04:31] <NongA_TongE> no, it was replaced by the pulseaudio applet
 which, strangely, I installed to try to find PCM levels
 lol
 however,  If I go to "Sound" under "Preferences" I have an "Applications" tab,  and the volume is all the way up.
 did I lose connection?
[04:31] <NongA_TongE> that was ,what I saw last.
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <NongA_TongE> and it is all the way up.
[04:34] <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.
[04:35] <starcraftman> I'm still here.
[04:35] <NongA_TongE> waiting,  waiting,
[04:35] <holstein> ;)
[04:35] <NongA_TongE> nothing for aplay.
[04:36] <NongA_TongE> just a flashing cursor.
[04:36] <holstein> aplay -l
[04:37] <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] <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
[04:38] <NongA_TongE> sure enuf
[04:38] <holstein> yeah, what starcraftman said ^^ :)
[04:38] <NongA_TongE> paste.ubuntu.com right?
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <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`
[04:41] <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 ?
[04:42] <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
[04:43]  * starcraftman has had too many such crashes.
[04:43] <holstein> yup
[04:43] <NongA_TongE> no remaining firefox components running
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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.
[04:46] <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 :)
[04:47] <NongA_TongE> Y'all take it easy.
[05:07] <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> ?
[05:18] <iantlopp> http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/5 is the website for the Shuttle Pro 2
[05:28] <iantlopp> I can't seem to add the repositories for cinellera :(
[05:29] <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
[05:30] <iantlopp> and no, I didn't leave "YOURVERSION" when I used that command.
[05:34] <iantlopp> augh... stupid me, nevermind... I kept spelling it cinelerra in the search, no wonder it couldn't find it.
[05:34] <iantlopp> heh

[09:25] <Bodman456> Hi guys!
[09:25] <Bodman456> Can you guys help me with a proxy issue?
[09:38] <that_guy_> hello?
[09:38] <that_guy_> I need help with Ubuntu
[09:39] <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?
[09:40] <geirha> dep-src on line 50 should probably be deb-src
[09:41] <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?
[09:42] <that_guy_> no
[09:42] <geirha> You must've run a script that edited it for you then. Apparently a broken script.
[09:43] <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...
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <geirha> That's a bit creepy ... an important system file's been changed without you knowing about it.
[09:46] <that_guy_> eek...
[09:47] <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?
[09:48] <geirha> Ah ok, you must've accidentaly changed the b to a p when adding that repository then
[09:49] <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
[09:51] <that_guy_> its not in there Im afraid
[09:51] <geirha> Ok, then how did you "download it" ?
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <geirha> Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center,  search for sound convert, then select the one you want and click install
[09:55] <that_guy_> oh yeah... My mistake!! its sound convertER!
[09:55] <geirha> :)
[09:56] <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
[09:58] <that_guy__> okay... :) Im back with another question...
[09:59] <that_guy__> is ogg files same as Mp3 files?
[10:01] <geirha> No. They contain audio, but uses a different codec.
[10:03] <that_guy__> ahh.
[10:04] <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?
[10:07] <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
[10:08] <geirha> nishanth: Try gecko-mediaplayer
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <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.
[10:12] <geirha> Luckily, there encryption is easy to crack ;)
[10:13] <that_guy_> YAY it works!!
[10:14] <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
[10:15] <nishanth> geriha it still did not work... is there any other plugin?
[10:16] <ZachK_> nishanth: Are you still trying to watch that video?
[10:17] <nishanth> ZachK as a matter of fact yes
[10:17] <geirha> that_guy_: That's beyond my expertize I'm afraid.
[10:18] <geirha> nishanth: Then that site probably does alot of weird stuff to make it work better with windows media player or something like that.
[10:19] <geirha> nishanth: It might not work with linux at all. Your best bet is to google it.    ubuntu watch videos on <that site>
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <nishanth> that_guy_ can you give me that link so that i can check to see if any live streaming works?
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <geirha> nishanth: Then they probably made some "improvements"
[10:25] <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
[10:28] <that_guy_> nishanth Im sorry but my intermet is capped and is taking forever to load
[10:29] <nishanth> geriha unlike firefox for some odd reason when i open the link in chrome it keeps telling missing plugin

[14:58] <Guilherme> Hello there
[14:58] <Guest92879> I have a question about the installation of Ubuntu, anyone?
[14:58] <ddecator> morning Guest92879, go ahead and ask instead of asking if you can ask :)
[14:59] <Guest92879> 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] <ddecator> definitely
[15:00] <ddecator> do you mean you tried Wubi?
[15:00] <Guest92879> yes, and it gets and error ... so I had to download the ISO file
[15:00] <Guest92879> an error*
[15:01] <ddecator> 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] <Guest92879> I haven't tried this ... just put the ISO file in the root folder?
[15:02] <ddecator> in whatever folder the wubi.exe file is
[15:02] <Guest92879> ok then, i'm @ work now but later I'll try this .. thanks for your help ddecator :)

[16:26] <bin10101> i see online you can do: send host-name "hairybobscomputer";
[16:26] <bin10101> is there a way to just say something more like send host-name "$hostname";??????
[17:00] <duanedesign> bin10101: what does :      sudo /bin/hostname

[18:15] <Phrea> I've got a bit of a question... :o
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <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 !
[18:22] <Chesamo> Phrea: That's really good to hear :D
[18:22] <Phrea> yea, it is, isnt it? :)
[18:22] <Phrea> everything works
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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 :)
[18:25] <Phrea> how long have you been using Ubuntu and/or Linux?
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <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?
[18:28] <Phrea> and could you elaborate about 'the lab' you speak of? :)
[18:28] <asterismo> hi people
[18:28] <Phrea> 'lo
[18:29] <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/
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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?
[18:32] <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 :)
[18:33] <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]
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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 :)
[18:36] <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
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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 :)
[19:28] <sanju_74> I have ubuntu installed on my entire disk
[19:28] <sanju_74> now I want to create a dual boot
[19:28] <sanju_74> how can i do it without wiping the entire disk
[21:58] <sterlo> Is it possible to search across a file system by image dimensions?
[23:05] <gankthoven> im trying to install 10.04 and after the splash screen my monitor goes blank.  runing ati 5750
[23:41] <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 ?
[23:42] <nishanth> holstein oh i have tried all players i know of
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <nishanth> holstein does it work for yo?
[23:44] <holstein> ill try chromium for a laugh
[23:45] <holstein> not in FF
[23:47] <nishanth> holstein it does not work in FF or chrome
[23:49] <holstein> im not having any luck
[23:50] <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
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <ddecator> nishanth: OSX is the Mac OS
[23:54] <holstein> OH
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <ddecator> i'm not sure there is anything for linux that can get activex-dependent things like this to work properly
[23:57] <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
