[03:58] <gabriel> ...I'm looking for help or advise... my xubuntu installs keep crashing when I try to grab and move a window... I have no idea why...
[11:58] <jrmy> how is there so many people here but nobody talking?
[11:58] <jrmy> sure its about 7:00am but
[11:58] <jrmy> still
[12:00] <psycho_oreos> !ask
[12:00] <psycho_oreos> !anyone
[12:02] <jrmy> i dont have a question
[12:02] <jrmy> im just suprised there is nobody talking
[12:02] <jrmy> thanks anyways psycho_oreos
[12:03] <psycho_oreos> not everyone is free and available for chat
[12:05] <jrmy> true
[12:06] <jrmy> 55 people that arent an op, so you'd think somebody was talking
[12:06] <jrmy> however we are
[12:07] <jrmy> ok, so for a real question what are good music players for xubuntu/ubuntu?
[12:07] <TheSheep> I like quodlibet
[12:07] <TheSheep> and Sonata
[12:08] <TheSheep> audacious if you like the old winamp
[12:08] <jrmy> how about a player that supports multiple file types?
[12:08] <psycho_oreos> audacious and xmms for me
[12:08] <psycho_oreos> vlc
[12:09] <TheSheep> jrmy: what do you mean by 'multiple file types'? all of them support multiple types
[12:09] <TheSheep> jrmy: mp3, wav, ogg, flac...
[12:09] <jrmy> well exaile is having a problem with playing .spc
[12:09] <jrmy> spc is the native of snes
[12:10] <jrmy> and even though i have the plugin installed from the software center it is still not working
[12:10] <TheSheep> jrmy: what plugin exactly?
[12:11] <jrmy> libopenspc0
[12:12] <jrmy> so the library of it
[12:12] <jrmy> idk what librarys are so much
[12:12] <jrmy> but whatever
[12:12] <psycho_oreos> the players need to be made aware of the library for decoding the file, check under your chosen music player
[12:12] <TheSheep> that's just a library, not a plugin
[12:12] <jrmy> and it worked with rythymbox
[12:13] <TheSheep> jrmy: then why not use ruthmbox?
[12:13] <TheSheep> rythmbox*
[12:13] <jrmy> i wanna try some prefered music players
[12:13] <jrmy> last i remember vlc was a nice player
[12:13] <jrmy> not just for music but video too
[12:14] <TheSheep> it's mostly a video player, not so nice for music
[12:14] <psycho_oreos> preference = taste
[12:14] <TheSheep> the playlist is rather basic
[12:14] <jrmy> ok
[12:14] <TheSheep> almost as primitive as the windows media player
[12:15] <psycho_oreos> try mplayer and compare :)
[12:16] <jrmy> and how about a music player that doesnt require lots of resource?
[12:16] <psycho_oreos> consider CLI based
[12:16] <jrmy> and what is CLI?
[12:17] <psycho_oreos> !cli
[12:17] <jrmy> ah and i'd liek a player that can close out and be in the tray
[12:17] <jrmy> so i can use the terminal to play music?
[12:18] <psycho_oreos> yes, with the right program
[12:18] <jrmy> i might liek this
[12:18] <jrmy> which programs are there?
[12:18] <jrmy> what*
[12:19] <psycho_oreos> you won't like it because it does not minimise to tray as per your previous requirements
[12:19] <jrmy> just looking at what is out there
[12:19] <jrmy> i'd prefer something that could but if it were terminal based i wouldnt care
[12:19] <psycho_oreos> afaik there are specific ones lik play or mpg123, etc
[12:20] <psycho_oreos> s/lik/like/
[12:20] <psycho_oreos> mplayer is another command line based as well
[12:20] <jrmy> is mplayer music only?
[12:21] <psycho_oreos> no
[12:21] <jrmy> ok
[12:26] <jrmy> ive been wondering about a program that can use a smart phone as a web cam, is there something liek this?
[12:45] <TheSheep> jrmy: you can also use mpd
[12:45] <TheSheep> !info mpd
[12:46] <TheSheep> jrmy: it's a daemon, it stays in the background and plays, and you use a variety of clients, graphical or text, to control it
[12:46] <TheSheep> jrmy: I even use that to control the player from my cellphone
[12:47] <jrmy> you'd have to explain that more and what daemon is
[12:51] <TheSheep> daemon is a program that runs in the background without any user interface
[12:52] <TheSheep> for exmaple, mail daemon waits for your e-mails and puts them into your mailbox when it receives them
[12:54] <jrmy> ok
[12:55] <jrmy> then i assume mpd uses very little resource
[12:57] <jrmy> ok in the update manager its saying firefox gnome support.. i assume i dont need this since my DE is xfce correct?
[13:02] <jrmy> TheSheep
[13:03] <jrmy> and does mpd require anything else?
[13:04] <TheSheep> jrmy: well, it depends on a bunch of libraries for playing music
[13:04] <TheSheep> jrmy: you will also need a client for controlling it, I like Sonata
[13:04] <jrmy> is that the recommended player?
[13:04] <jrmy> or whatever its called
[13:05] <TheSheep> there is a howto an mpd here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5194.html
[13:05] <TheSheep> no, wait, that's about installing it from source, you don't want that
[13:07] <TheSheep> http://www.shellperson.net/installing-mpd-mpc-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[13:07] <TheSheep> this one looks ok
[14:06] <jrmy> idk if im gonna use mpd
[14:06] <jrmy> i think i'll figure that out later
[14:39] <jrmy> might go with a terminal based music player
[14:50]  * vassi waves hi to you all

[16:31] <slow-motion> hi
[17:10] <gage> .I'm looking for help or advise... my xubuntu installs keep crashing when I try to grab and move a window... I have no idea why...
[17:10] <gage> I need help...
[17:11] <charlie-tca> what version of Xubuntu?
[17:11] <gage> l10.04
[17:12] <charlie-tca> xubuntu or lubuntu?
[17:12] <gage> the latest...
[17:12] <gage> xubuntu
[17:12] <gage> sorry typo
[17:12] <charlie-tca> okay
[17:13] <gage> I tried wiping and reloading it twice but it still does it whenever I try to move a window around...
[17:22] <gage> I also had this problem when I had an earlier install of Karmic Ubuntu, but an update later fixed it
[17:24] <charlie-tca> And you have run the latest updates ?
[17:25] <gage> yes, yesterday, but now I see that there are 9 more...
[17:25] <gage> doing that now...
[17:29] <gage> these ones are just for firefox, thunderbird, apt, and something called unreadahead
[17:36] <gage> Ok... i ran a check after it installed all the new updates from today and now it has added a Linux kernel image...  I need to reboot... I will test it and return with results, ok?
[17:38] <charlie-tca> yup
