[00:51] im having trouble installing handbrake. what the heck does this mean? --> http://pastebin.com/5DXCtAwF [00:58] noob581849864, you may want to consider installing it by adding the PPA to your apt sources [00:58] https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots [01:00] ok, i'll try that if nothing else works. but why can't the MOTU team just make a package of the stable version? handbrake is too good to have a snapshot of. [01:01] Probably better to ask them? [01:01] good idea :-) [01:01] * vidd has never heard of handbrake before your question [01:02] Linux Format magazine has a good section in their November issue: "24 changes we'd make to linux". if there's one change i'd make... it'd be a packaged handbrake. i'll email MOTU now. [01:12] !handbrake [01:12] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [01:22] well, here's me email to the MOTU team, re the Handbrake issue: http://pastebin.com/RJwBRr0d [01:23] they probably won't like me very much, but who cares. if it pesters people into fixing things then it's a good thing. [01:24] if they won't fix it then maybe i'll take a shot. in the meanwhile, handbrake has installed just fine, from the snapshot. mission accomplished! thanks. [03:06] has anyone seen a method to get hibernate back ? [03:14] there is a script I saw on the arclinux wiki - but it seems convoluted... [03:14] *archlinux === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:58] how can i mount my harddrive if X cant load? [04:59] what's the partition? sda1? [04:59] how do i check [04:59] i think it is [04:59] sudo fdisk -l [05:01] yeah it is sda1 [05:02] make a dir to mount it to with sudo mkdir /mnt/somename [05:02] i already figured it i guess not remembering the name correctly doesnt help [05:03] its already mounted though [05:03] k [05:26] does anyone know how to suspend to disk on xubuntu 10.10 ? [06:54] test [06:55] fail xubuntu249 [06:55] why fail [06:55] standard answer when someone does tset [06:55] *test [06:55] i know ) [06:56] never used irc [06:56] there are some rules [06:56] !guidelines [06:56] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [06:57] keep it polite and you'll be fine tho [07:55] damn... xubuntu turned my 3 years old laptop into a bullet.. i'm using this forever ;) [10:25] how to suspend to disk using xubuntu 10.10 ? [11:21] i have a problem watching videos with 10.10. i have installed the restricted extras from http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/codecs what else do i have to install? [11:22] Are we talking dvd videos? [11:23] no, from the net [11:24] streaming videos or flash videos [11:24] non flash [11:25] eg http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/mediathek.php?obj=20952 [11:25] that would be the mozillla plugins i find totem-mozilla to work the best [11:26] when i try to watch it i just can see the parole logo, but clip doesnt start [11:26] is it a problem with parole? [11:28] maybe is the gecko- media player which doesn't always work and runs on top of the gnome media-player go to synaptic and look up totem and you will see totem-mozilla [11:32] keep in mind that no media-player plugin plays everything but totem-mozilla plays the widest range but cannot have any other mozilla-video plugins installed at the same time [11:33] so i should deinstall parole? [11:35] No I think just look to see if it is a mozilla-plugin, uninstall that, then install totem and totem mozilla. [11:37] ok [11:39] You can have multiple media players but not too many mozilla plugins since for video mozilla usually defers to one plug-in to play videos. [11:42] do i have to deinstall the plugins in firefox manually? [11:46] i see in synaptic, i have totem-mozilla installed [11:48] are there any other mozilla plugins [11:49] most likely, because parole stil starts with these contents [11:51] remove the parole browser plugin? [11:51] then there should be a parole mozilla or mozilla parole plugin which should be removed or disabled fom firefox in the addons plugins when you click on the top of firefox menu [11:52] yes that's the one [11:53] ok, i deinstall that one [11:54] yeah try that and see if video will play in totem [11:56] its stil starting with parole :| [11:59] I guess try deinstalling parole altogether if it is causing a problem, totem can play movies and everything, [12:00] but make sure you have complete totem installed and you can install vlc as a second media player [12:02] restarted firefox, works now [12:02] there must have been stil some firefox in the background [12:03] thx a lot [12:03] most likely the problem was parole [12:06] you are welcome, and keep in mind that you may come across some videos that won't play like ones that are in ms silverlight which only play in linux properly on suse and don't really work in buntu [12:09] I hvae sometimes installed and reinstalled for hours and hours and have found that there is no media player that will play everything but I think totem has the widest range of video and radio possibilities. === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [16:18] Hello. How to generate a new locale (e.g. de_DE.ISO8859-1)? [18:58] hi, is there an possibility to use xubuntu 10.10 with a geforce 4 ti ? [19:03] I would think so. I use it with a couple of older geforce 4 cards [19:03] Try running the live cd and see if it detects the card? [19:07] ^^ i already upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10 and now trying to restore X^ [20:32] Hi, where can I choose the microphone I want to use? [20:36] Never mind, I have installed pavucontrol, it works fine. [21:05] I have gotten myself in a bit of a bind here. I have managed to associate .desktop files with gedit and that makes launching apps from the desktop kind of hard. How do I "unassociate" this extention? [21:07] whats that coomand to completely kill x so i can install nvidia drivers ? [21:08] twinkie_addict: sudo /etc/init.d/xdm stop [21:08] service gdm stop [21:08] BlueEagle: you can't set it in properties? [21:09] Sysi: Not sure what I would set it to tbh. [21:09] thanks [21:10] BlueEagle: right click → properties [21:10] Sysi: It would be right click and "open with other application" I assume. [21:11] no, properties [21:11] i'm not sure, i don't want single item to my desktop [21:12] Well yes, I can set the application there as well. [21:12] Sysi: But which application should I use to open the .desktop file to actually have the application launched? In this case it's a .sh file [21:13] is there option of running or something? [21:13] Sysi: I found it. It's apperantly xdg-open === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:50] hi, i have problem with splash screen when xubuntu starts regular fsck, i see his console output and spash screen blinking, how can i fix it? just to see spash screen, or terminal output [22:52] im using xubuntu 10.04 on dell inspirion 2650 [22:53] Do you see any errors in the text? [22:54] or is it just telling you it is doing the check? [22:54] mostly that its doing check [22:54] but i had one error [22:54] The error is the reason it blinks. It wants you to know something is wrong [22:54] my script couldnt execute ok [22:54] oh ok [22:55] it doesnt have separete terminal for output on start up [22:55] idk how to explain it [22:55] That should be a separate terminal. It gives the GDM screen on F7. [22:56] yes [22:56] but where is log [22:56] That text should be on F1, I think [22:56] i gives me clear login [22:57] on ubuntu it was F8 if f7 is gdm, if i remember [23:02] hm, I show the text on F7, and gdm on F8 [23:03] if you can login, dmesg ? [23:04] yes [23:04] 1 sec [23:05] i cant find any problems there
