[00:46] <stevel__> hi,i have a problem in BIOS's ACPI implementation due to which most of the distros dont work unless i put acpi=off , i tried building a new kernel which seems to hv the bug fixed , but still it seems the same , but there is a kernel is feora 13 which works without acpi=off , can i simply download and use that in archlinux?
[00:47] <stevel__> can i simply take a custom distro's kernel and use it in another distro?
[00:47] <Chesamo> It's all the same GNU/Linux kernel
[00:48] <iantlopp> stevel__ not that I'm any crack genius, but I think that question is beyond the scope of "ubuntu-beginners"
[00:48] <Chesamo> stevel__: theoretically it's all the same kernel, just how you set it up and what modules you use
[00:49] <stevel__> can i patch my kernel and compile it to get it working
[00:49] <stevel__> http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2009/12/20/147/1
[00:49] <stevel__> how do i use this
[00:49] <stevel__> is it a patch?
[00:49] <Chesamo> stevel__: Looks like a shell script
[00:50] <Chesamo> stevel__: No I lied, it's code? Don't recognize the language though
[00:50] <Chesamo> stevel__: Oh, it's C.
[00:51] <stevel__> how do i use it to patch my kernel?
[00:51] <Chesamo> haven't the foggiest
[00:52] <stevel__> isnt there any grub in ubuntu 10.04
[00:52] <stevel__> i am unable to set in acpi=off option at boot
[00:53] <Chesamo> grub2 uses a different method
[00:53] <Chesamo> stevel__: Look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[00:53] <stevel__> can you plz tell me how to at least set acpi=off at boot time
[00:54] <Chesamo> stevel__: Look at section 5, subsection /etc/default/grub
[00:54] <Chesamo> stevel__: Or ctrl+f for "acpi=off"
[00:55] <stevel__> thanks a lot for that info
[00:55] <stevel__> u made my day
[00:55] <stevel__> :)
[00:55] <Chesamo> stevel__: You're welcome
[00:57] <iantlopp> anyone do extensive video editing in ubuntu? I'm wondering what packages you've used and your thoughts behind them.
[00:59] <ddecator> openshot is good, but i've had bad luck with it. pitivi has worked surprisingly well for the little bit that i've done
[01:02] <iantlopp> just installed cinelerra... the interface, though quirky, seems more along the lines of something I'm familiar with (I've spent some time with Premiere and other similar packages)
[01:03] <iantlopp> but it doesn't seem to like my shuttlepro (kino does, but it doesn't have the features I need), and it's also... somewhat slow..
[01:04] <iantlopp> at least the basic video processing... running Premiere Pro on a laptop with half this power in Windows XP, I never had slowdown in video playback except during effects sequences, this can't even playback a single file smoothly.
[01:04] <ddecator> i'm excited to see how lightworks (is that what it's called?) works once it's released on linux
[01:06] <iantlopp> not familiar with it... I've been watching the Jahshaka project for a while, and I'm quite curious to see where that goes, but it's never really seemed well designed (maybe now that it's been rebranded and redesigned as CineFX we'll see something better, but I can't find any reviews on it)
[01:06] <iantlopp> I'll look up lightworks.
[01:06] <ddecator> it's a professional editor that is going opensource
[01:07] <iantlopp> I came across one review for a product called IFX Pirahna which seemed... pretty nice considering everything it had to offer... couldn't find any download information. looked through their website, found a brochure, then realized... okay, this is for the big boys.. .he.
[01:07] <iantlopp> heh, rather.
[01:07] <iantlopp> I'm sure it's VERY expensive... they even show huge boards designed to work just with that software sitting in front of the computer, etc...
[01:08] <ddecator> iantlopp: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/oscar-winning-lightworks-open-source.html
[01:09] <iantlopp> was just looking at their website..
[01:11] <iantlopp> nice... granted that I've been in the backseat of DVE, how does a product like that compare with Premiere (which is, for all intents and purposes, the de facto standard prosumer level software for video editing)
[01:12] <ddecator> no idea, i've only done basic editing with pitivi, haha
[01:13] <iantlopp> hehehe... pitivi seems like a somewhat dumbed down version of Windows Movie Maker (which I abhor)...
[01:13] <iantlopp> well I can't really say that... it's like living with Photoshop, then being given MS paint to edit your photos...
[01:13] <iantlopp> Premiere's system is something I'm used to, and I'd at least like to maintain that style...
[01:15] <iantlopp> well I'm now on lightworks mailing list, awaiting its release :)
[01:16] <iantlopp> until then... gotta find something to work with... some people have mentioned blender.. and I'm, somewhat skeptical
[01:16] <ddecator> blender seems more for graphics and animation, not video editing
[01:18] <iantlopp> there seem to be some people screaming rather vociferously for its use as an NLE
[01:18] <Chesamo> If I may
[01:18] <Chesamo> I've never been able to work out how people use it as an editor
[01:19] <Chesamo> I mean I haven't even been able to find the tools
[01:19] <iantlopp> want a link?
[01:19] <Chesamo> Not at the moment, no
[01:19] <Chesamo> But thank you
[01:23] <iantlopp> is there any way I can capture, or at least monitor the I/O of a USB HID device?
[01:35] <iantlopp> brb, gotta restart to test something.
[01:45] <iantlopp> and i'm back... that was odd...
[01:45] <iantlopp> couldn't turn on desktop effects until I restarted the computer.
[04:58] <nishanth>  does any one know how to make a live stream video play that uses mms plugin?
[15:24] <zeroseven0183> How do you install skype from Launchpad?
[15:32] <phillw> hi zeroseven0183 I'm not sure about with Launchpad, but http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-skype-in-ubuntu-from-skype-repository.html#more-5699 has a set of instructions that will also keep your installation up to date.
[15:34] <zeroseven0183> Thanks. I'm now installing it
[15:34] <zeroseven0183> Possibly there's no difference with the one downloaded from skype.com
[15:39] <phillw> zeroseven0183: people report using the beta gives better results, the same applies to wine
[15:39] <phillw> i only use the beta, so do not know how well the stable version works.
[15:40] <phillw> ^^ of skype^^
[15:41] <phillw> doing it via ubuntu-geek adds it to your list to be checked for updates, so there is no need to keep checking on the skype site for new versions.
[15:41] <zeroseven0183> Right
[18:17] <stlsaint> sup folks
[18:40] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> Hi smeag0l  =]

[19:54] <aarfeick> I am having trouble making a USB disk... can anyone help?
[19:55] <Evil_Silver_Fox_>  What are you having trouble with aarfeick  ?
[19:55] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> Which part of the process ?
[19:56] <aarfeick> I am using the Admin tool, and have selected my ISO (tried both netbook and amd64-desktop) and usb disk, but the "make" option is grayed...
[19:56] <aarfeick> I have used this disk with this utility before; it's formatted ext4
[20:02] <aarfeick> Perhaps unetbootin will work
[20:07] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> I have not hard trouble with unetbootin
[20:07] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> had
[20:07] <aarfeick> It won't write either
[20:07] <aarfeick> It hangs after extracting 11 files from the ISO
[20:07] <aarfeick> I shall try an ISO to CD
[20:07] <aarfeick> grr... how frustrating
[20:11] <uruk-hai> hi starcraftman
[20:15] <uruk-hai> hey swoody - how's things
[20:15] <swoody> uruk-hai: heya piskie! Long time, no see :)
[20:15] <swoody> things are going ok for me, how about yourself?
[20:16] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> swoody swoody  swoody , lalalala
[20:16] <uruk-hai> pretty good thanks :)

[22:40] <bihari> any indian here

[22:55] <bihari> OKI THANKS
[22:55] <Evil_Silver_Fox_> Pleasure
[23:16] <drake> So here's my question.  I setup a file server using Ubuntu Server edition following the guild by Xam @ howtoforge.com.  With only a few exceptions to minor tweaks the guide worked perfectly.  The difference is I use a USB terabyte for data storage but that's not an issue.  It works FANTASTIC right now.  I can manage files from any computer in the house (vista xp linuxmint etc).  The USB is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0
[23:16] <drake> in my fstab file.  It's sharing the root directory of the disk and users have access to the entire thing.  Now that it's all working, I want to know if anyone knows a way I can not let the entire disk be shared but only select folders off the root for example  /media/store/Music or /media/store/Videos.
[23:48] <edlik> phillw: Thanks for your help last week, I tried several times to defrag my 1TB hard drive to no avail, it keeps comming up with errors for files that I have on it. Do you think I should just try to fix my broken upgrade (9.10 to 10.04)?
