[00:00] <aveilleux> arifovic: Just about, yeah
[00:01] <arifovic> aveilleux: It can be dangerous or not?
[00:02] <aveilleux> arifovic: Nothing has every broken with that command, to my knowledge.
[00:02] <aveilleux> s/every/ever
[00:02] <arifovic> aveilleux: ok, thanks :)
[00:08] <duanedesign> thanks aveilleux, i got distracted.
[00:09] <duanedesign> aveilleux: trying to get another release of CLI Companion ready to upload
[05:24] <tulcak> anyone there?
[05:25] <tulcak> ok, well
[05:25] <tulcak> I've got a question about rdp server for ubuntu lucid
[05:25] <tulcak> and multiple sessions
[05:25] <tulcak> but, so far, all I've gotten, including this crap about IRC is a bunch of worthless command line crap
[05:26] <tulcak> and, I am really really frustrated
[05:26] <tulcak> i just want a nice GUI interface for the ubuntu terminal server to manage multiple remote desktop sessions
[05:27] <tulcak> yep, that's what I thought, just talking to the air
[05:27] <tulcak> do you know a four letter word for copulate?
[05:27] <tulcak> ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[05:27] <tulcak> one time, at band camp, i kissed a frog
[05:28] <tulcak> another time, at a frat party, I got laid...
[05:29] <tulcak> you know, the whole reason for computers is for AUTOMATION?  in other words, command line is MANUAL.  get it?  so, if your crap doesn't have a nice and solid GUI, then, what good is it?
[05:33] <tulcak> do you know what FUBAR stands for?  it stands for the back end of Ubuntu.  the GUI is great, the system is great, but, when you ask for a solution, you get pages and pages of command line drivel that ends in crashing you system and having you re-install Ubuntu... what's the deal with that?
[05:34] <tulcak> HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[05:34] <tulcak> ANYONE THEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[05:34] <tulcak> TWO PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY LEFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
[05:34] <tulcak> COME ON CAN I MAKE SOME MORE

[17:05] <TJ_D> Hi all
[17:05] <TJ_D> Anyone available for a question?
[17:07] <TJ_D> Well if anyone wakes up here's my question. I'm trying to figure out how to open a text file in terminal that is constantly updated via a logging process, and my goal is to have that file constantly show the updates that are being logged to it in real time, so I can see them as they happen
[17:08] <TJ_D> And if you help me figure it out you will make my day!
[17:08] <paultag> TJ_D, tail -f
[17:08] <paultag> TJ_D, tail -f /path/to/file
[17:09] <TJ_D> You are my hero! =)
[17:09] <paultag> TJ_D, it's what I do ( said in smooth superhero voice )
[17:11] <TJ_D> So another question then if you have time? >.> My ultimate goal is to have a splitscreen display with one section showing that log as it updates and the other showing what I'm currently working on
[17:11] <paultag> TJ_D, look into a tiling terminal, try `terminator', it's in the repo
[17:11] <TJ_D> But right now I'm doing it by having two instances of terminal taking up only part of the screen, is there a simpler way?
[17:11] <TJ_D> Ok
[17:11] <paultag> TJ_D, you might also be able to do that with emacs, or perhaps vim if you try hard
[17:11] <paultag> TJ_D, but terminator might be the way to go with that one
[17:11] <TJ_D> Thanks again
[17:12] <paultag> TJ_D, ain't no thang.
[17:12] <pedro3005> paultag saves the day again
[17:12] <ovihategan>  hi to everybody. i'm new to ubuntu, i'm running vers 10.04 and since 2 days ago when i try to minimize a window it just disapear dont know where. can't find it in the panel below. If someone know how to solve this issue please help me. Thank you!

[17:14] <bootstrap> Songbird does not display my .ogg files, does anyone know why?
[17:14] <paultag> bootstrap, do you have the gstreamer plugin installed?
[17:14] <bootstrap> paultag: I do.
[17:14] <paultag> cool :)
[17:14] <paultag> let me research bootstrap
[17:15] <bootstrap> paultag: Thanks, I was unable to find anything though.
[17:16] <paultag> bootstrap, can you test this for me?
[17:16] <paultag> bootstrap, gst-launch filesrc location="your_ogg_file_path" ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! alsasink
[17:17] <paultag> if that works, it's a songbird bug, if not, it's a gstreamer plugin issue
[17:18] <bootstrap> paultag: you want me to paste here, its short.
[17:18] <paultag> sure
[17:18] <bootstrap> gst-launch filesrc location="your_ogg_file_path" ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! alsasink
[17:18] <paultag> anything over 5 lines should go to pastebin, but a few lines is OK
[17:18] <bootstrap> whoops
[17:18] <bootstrap> Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
[17:18] <bootstrap> ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
[17:18] <bootstrap> ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstFileSrc:filesrc0: Resource not found.

[17:18] <bootstrap> Setting pipeline to NULL ...
[17:18] <bootstrap> Freeing pipeline ...
[17:19] <paultag> bootstrap, ah, you have to edit your_ogg_file_path to be your ogg file path
[17:19] <bootstrap> paultag: How would one go about doing that?
[17:19] <paultag> bootstrap, gst-launch filesrc location="your_ogg_file_path" ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! alsasink
[17:19] <paultag> bootstrap, edit location="your_ogg_file_path"
[17:19] <paultag> bootstrap, to your file path for the ogg file
[17:20] <bootstrap> paultag: Oh, ha, I didn't even read the line, ok, i'll do that.
[17:20] <paultag> :)
[17:30] <bootstrap> paultag: Sorry for the delay, that works fine, so the issue is with songbird.
[17:33] <paultag> bootstrap, :)
[17:33] <paultag> bootstrap, well, let's see here. Are the files in Songbird's root directory?
[17:33] <paultag> bootstrap, ( root music directory )
[17:33] <bootstrap> paultag: No
[17:34] <paultag> bootstrap, so how does Songbird know they exist?
[17:34] <bootstrap> paultag: they are in /media and Songbird displays everything else there except .ogg
[17:34] <paultag> so they are in the root music directory
[17:35] <bootstrap> yeah
[17:36] <paultag> bootstrap, try asking in irc.mozilla.org, #songbird
[17:36] <paultag> bootstrap, they would know way better then me ( I don't use Songbird)
[17:36] <bootstrap> paultag: Ok thanks.
[17:36] <paultag> sure

[19:40] <Mjiig> i cannot produce a beep sound in the terminal with any of the following commands: "beep", "echo -e "\a" but my system sound definitely works
[19:40] <Mjiig> any help?
[20:01] <aveilleux> Mjiig, can you pastebin ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ) the output of "lsmod |grep pc"?
[20:02] <Mjiig> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/501090/
[20:02] <blakpearl> where to find the right guide to begin with ubuntu?
[20:03] <aveilleux> Mjiig, are you trying to make a beep out of the computer's PC speaker, or your regular speakers?
[20:03] <hobgoblin> blakpearl: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php https://help.ubuntu.com/ are a good start
[20:03] <Mjiig> either the pc speakers or my headphones when they're in like the rest of the sound
[20:03] <aveilleux> blakpearl, http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[20:04] <aveilleux> Mjiig, So you mean regular speakers. The "PC speaker" is a different kind of output that older computers have.
[20:04] <aveilleux> Mjiig, Interesting. Let me see what I can dig up
[20:04] <blakpearl> thanks a lot guys:-)
 yep
[20:07] <aveilleux> Mjiig, I've been able to make it "click" by using echo "1" > /dev/audio, but it doesn't work if the speakers are already in use
[20:07] <aveilleux> What why did they leave :<
[20:08] <aveilleux> Mjiig, I've been able to make it "click" by using echo "1" > /dev/audio, but it doesn't work if the speakers are already in use
[20:09] <Mjiig> do you mind if i leave for 1 min
[20:10] <Mjiig> i think this app is using the speakers
[20:10]  * aveilleux blinkblinks
[20:11] <Bizurke> I came in late. Do you have certain programs taking precedence for audio usage?
[20:12] <Mjiig> i can get a click using that command if i close most program, but i still don't get a beep with the other two commands
[20:12] <aveilleux> Bizurke, echoing a hardware signal to the speakers doesn't solve the problem, I was just noting something that I'd noticed
[20:12] <Bizurke> ah
[20:12] <Mjiig> bizurke: i don't think so as there's no error, exit code 0 and i CAN get a click with the command aveilleux gave
[20:13] <aveilleux> Mjiig, Oooh, I think I found it. Let me test real quick
[20:13] <Bizurke> I remember in the slow switch from OSS to ALSA there was big issues with certain programs taking priority
[20:13] <Bizurke> or load order taking priority
[20:13] <Bizurke> never had that with pulse though
[20:14] <Bizurke> I would have to kill OSS which was running for no reason, then restart ALSA with the program I wanted in focus on gnome in order to get it to play. Big hassle
[20:22] <aveilleux> Mjiig, I really don't know, sorry
[20:23] <Mjiig> okay, thanks anyway
[20:23] <Mjiig> it's not too much of a problem, it's just annoying, knowing i have something that should work and doesn't :)
[20:23] <Mjiig> and it would be nice to end scripts with a beep
[20:29] <yax51> ok I have a slight problem
[20:31] <yax51> my web cam is upside down...I found a fix, but i don't know how to implement it
[20:32] <suprengr> ...and my boomerang won't come back ;)
[20:32] <yax51> sad....
[20:33] <yax51> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838210&highlight=web+cam
[20:33] <aveilleux> yax51, I think the easiest way to fix that would be to use a program called WebCamStudio... I believe it has vertical mirroring
[20:34] <aveilleux> yax51, http://www.ws4gl.org/
[21:30] <yax51> ok I'm trying to fix my web cam...I found a solution but I cant figure out how to implemnt it
[21:30] <yax51> any help?
[21:30] <yax51> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838210&highlight=web+cam
[21:44] <yax51> yay I fixed it
[21:50] <aveilleux> yax51 apparently ignored my answer earlier....
[22:04] <Phrea> not only answers are ignored here
