| tenach | Hello trhisdone | 00:33 |
| trhisdone | hey | 00:37 |
| johnny77 | Originally I installed Ubuntu, then installed Kubuntu on top. After uninstalling Kubuntu, I still have some remnants I'd like to get rid of. | 00:38 |
| johnny77 | First, when I turn of my computer the splash screen that is shown is the Kubuntu one, how do I change that> | 00:38 |
| yofel | johnny77: change the alternative or remove plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo | 00:54 |
| yofel | !puregnome | johnny77 | 00:54 |
| ubot2 | johnny77: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 00:54 |
| johnny77 | yofel: Thanks, I will check out the link. | 00:57 |
| johnny77 | yofel: Once I remove the kubuntu logo what will takes it's place? | 00:57 |
| yofel | johnny77: whatever has the next priority for default.plymouth, check with 'sudo update-alternatives --display default.plymouth' or use galternatives | 00:58 |
| johnny77 | yofel: is there a way to change it to something specific? I actually have Ubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu installed. I'm currently using Xubuntu and want to change to it, but the command says Lubuntu is next. | 01:02 |
| yofel | johnny77: sure, use --config | 01:02 |
| _schism_ | evening all | 01:08 |
| jasono | Evening | 01:09 |
| tenach | Evenin' | 01:10 |
| _schism_ | is there any chance someone has a moment to help me with a small java problem? | 01:11 |
| tenach | I don't know any java, but I'm sure someone here will be able to help if you ask anyway _schism_. :D | 01:15 |
| _schism_ | I am trying to get minecraft running and it says I need the .22 version of java and 10.04 only has .18 and I cant find anyway to make it install. help..... | 01:15 |
| tenach | Ahh, that kind of java help | 01:15 |
| tenach | I've recently had to do that myself. :D | 01:16 |
| tenach | Lemme see if I remember how I did it. | 01:16 |
| _schism_ | tenach, cool | 01:16 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: java.com has a Linux-installable version, let me see if I can find it | 01:17 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Are you running 64-bit or 32-bit? | 01:17 |
| tenach | aveilleux : will be of more help; I'm on an ultra slow machine right now (233mhz) | 01:17 |
| _schism_ | aveilleux, I just did that one and now I am getting an odd error........ | 01:18 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Did you use the .bin one? Because that's not the one you want. | 01:18 |
| _schism_ | aveilleux, 32 bit | 01:18 |
| _schism_ | aveilleux, I think that was the one | 01:19 |
| _schism_ | says I have .22 now on the java web site | 01:19 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: You'll want to use Alien (sudo apt-get install alien) to convert the supplied .rpm file ( http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=42722 ) into a .deb file, then install that | 01:20 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Oh, did the .bin install fine? Then that's fine | 01:20 |
| _schism_ | hmmm let me dropbox the error maybe that will help you help me :) | 01:20 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: You mean pastebin | 01:20 |
| _schism_ | screenshot cant copy out of the error dialog | 01:21 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Oh. Then use imgur. | 01:21 |
| _schism_ | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5008250/java-error.png | 01:22 |
| _schism_ | imgur? let me go look at that I have never tried it | 01:22 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: That looks like a Minecraft bug, but I'm not sure | 01:24 |
| _schism_ | man just my luck. anyone else here play minecraft? | 01:26 |
| Geo|wrk | I have tried it on windows lol. Let me see if I can get it running. | 01:53 |
| === Geo|wrk is now known as MrAnthrope | ||
| MrAnthrope | I forget how to do this. Are you using the embedded one? | 01:54 |
| _schism_ | geo|wrk thanks I am not that concerned about actulay running it per se it just bugs me when stuff doesnt work | 01:54 |
| _schism_ | MrAnthrope, yeppers | 01:54 |
| MrAnthrope | Minecraft alpha free? | 01:56 |
| MrAnthrope | single player. | 01:56 |
| MrAnthrope | lol that's confusing. | 01:56 |
| _schism_ | MrAnthrope, yes sir dont want to buy until I can play :) | 01:57 |
| MrAnthrope | Yeah it's working fine for me. | 01:57 |
| MrAnthrope | But that's not how I installed Java. | 01:57 |
| MrAnthrope | i downloaded that .bin file and extracted it into an .rpm file somehow... and then... I can't remember | 01:58 |
| MrAnthrope | It was something stupid and complicated. | 01:58 |
| _schism_ | MrAnthrope, hmmmm oh well guess Ill have to keep poking at it | 01:59 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm going to try to jog my memory here. I've got a horrible headache. | 02:00 |
| MrAnthrope | Okay so you have the jre-6u22-linux-i586-rpm.bin file from the java website? | 02:00 |
| _schism_ | I deleted it going there again to redownload it | 02:01 |
| MrAnthrope | I think I remember. It was something in the terminal. I had to use make. | 02:01 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: There is an rpm file that is provided by Oracle. _schism_, download that instead. | 02:01 |
| MrAnthrope | What's Oracle? | 02:01 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: Um, the company that produces Java? | 02:01 |
| MrAnthrope | Oh I thought that was Sun. lol. | 02:01 |
| _schism_ | okm got it | 02:02 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: Oracle bought Sun. | 02:02 |
| MrAnthrope | Ooooh. | 02:02 |
| _schism_ | I must have used the other one before. how do I use an rpm on a deb based system?> | 02:03 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: You can either install normally through rpm (not recommended) or you can convert the rpm to a deb using alien. | 02:03 |
| _schism_ | okiedokei | 02:05 |
| _schism_ | does the other one just not work right or something? | 02:05 |
| MrAnthrope | I installed it with the .rpm and it works just fine. It was sorta complicated though. | 02:06 |
| MrAnthrope | If aveilleux is saying there's an easier way, I'd do that heh. | 02:06 |
| MrAnthrope | I had all kinds of trouble using make. But I'm completely new. | 02:07 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: It works, but it's not tracked in apt, so any upgrades just overwrite. It doesn't register in the apt cache as being installed at the current level, so you can't properly upgrade. | 02:07 |
| _schism_ | Unknown type of package, jre-6u22-linux-i586-rpm.bin. | 02:07 |
| MrAnthrope | Alternatively you could try OpenJDK. Are they comparable? | 02:09 |
| MrAnthrope | _schism_ I think you need to extract the binary file to an RPM and then use the alien whatever thing on the .rpm file. | 02:10 |
| MrAnthrope | If I'm understanding correctly. | 02:11 |
| _schism_ | <sigh> I give up for tonight. time to give th little one a bath I do appreciate it though guys I realy do | 02:12 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm having trouble finding the guide I used. | 02:12 |
| MrAnthrope | Which wasn't much help lol. | 02:12 |
| MrAnthrope | Good luck. | 02:12 |
| _schism_ | MrAnthrope, not a problem, its the fact that we are here to help one another is what is important | 02:13 |
| MrAnthrope | :) | 02:13 |
| stlsaint | evening folks | 02:15 |
| _schism_ | evening | 02:15 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: Um, no, Oracle provides an RPM. | 02:35 |
| MrAnthrope | he was trying to use jre-6u22-linux-i586-rpm.bin. | 02:37 |
| MrAnthrope | not jre-6u22-linux-i586.rpm | 02:37 |
| yofel | why not use the one from the repository? | 02:40 |
| MrAnthrope | Just selecting sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-bin in synaptic will install Java? | 02:44 |
| yofel | as long as you have the partner repos enabled in lucid/maverick yes, and sun-java6-plugin would be the web plugin | 02:44 |
| MrAnthrope | man what I was told to do was much more complicated. | 02:44 |
| yofel | what *might* be a problem is the alternatives setup for java | 02:45 |
| yofel | so you should remove openjdk when installing sun | 02:45 |
| _schism_ | yeah I did it originaly from the repos but it was the .18 version | 02:45 |
| _schism_ | now back to messing with the kids until I walk past the laptop again :) | 02:45 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 02:45 |
| yofel | _schism_: then you didn't update, we have 22 for all releases (except dapper) | 02:46 |
| MrAnthrope | I have sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre, and sun-java6-plugin listed as 6.22 in my Synaptic. | 02:46 |
| _schism_ | yofel, I have auto updates on and I do aptitude update at least once a day on this machine. | 02:47 |
| _schism_ | odd | 02:47 |
| yofel | _schism_: openjdk or sun-java? | 02:47 |
| _schism_ | think it was the sun one. opening synaptic npw | 02:48 |
| MrAnthrope | if you type java6 in the search it will bring up all 3 you need. | 02:48 |
| yofel | _schism_: could you pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre' in from a terminal? | 02:48 |
| _schism_ | sure can | 02:49 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/539615/ | 02:50 |
| _schism_ | I wonder if just uninstalling java and starting all over again may help | 02:51 |
| _schism_ | yeah I am just going to uninstall and try again | 02:51 |
| MrAnthrope | Yeah yours is way different than mine. http://paste.ubuntu.com/539616/ | 02:52 |
| yofel | right, that's how it *should* look like | 02:53 |
| yofel | what's odd is that you do have partner on, just somehow the cache is out of date | 02:54 |
| yofel | mine for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/539617/ | 02:54 |
| _schism_ | how do I clear the cache? can I do it from synauptic? | 02:54 |
| yofel | _schism_: what happens if you run 'sudo apt-get update' ? | 02:54 |
| yofel | any errors? | 02:55 |
| _schism_ | it does the normal update thing no errors then I upgrade without errors. although I normaly use aptitude instead of apt-get | 02:55 |
| yofel | then I don't get what's wrong... | 02:56 |
| _schism_ | is there a command to clean the cache? | 02:58 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: sudo aptitude clean | 02:59 |
| yofel | well, you could delete the package lists in /var/lib/apt/lists/ | 02:59 |
| yofel | apt-get/aptitude clean will delete old .debs, but not reset the cache | 03:00 |
| _schism_ | here is what it looks like now http://paste.ubuntu.com/539618/ | 03:01 |
| yofel | now *that* looks right | 03:02 |
| _schism_ | does that look more correct? | 03:02 |
| _schism_ | ok let me try and install it again.. is the sun-java version recomended or the os one? I prefer os but I am pragmatic and just want stuff to work | 03:03 |
| yofel | well, usually use the OS one, some people report issues with it for some web applets, but those are rare | 03:04 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Since Oracle changed the licensing agreement, Java is now almost fully open-source. The "Java trap" isn't a problem anymore. | 03:04 |
| _schism_ | so go with the os one then | 03:05 |
| aveilleux | _schism_: Actually I would recommend sun-jaca6-jre. | 03:05 |
| _schism_ | aveilleux, dont see that in synaptic | 03:09 |
| _schism_ | have sun-java6-jdk | 03:09 |
| yofel | I think that's a typo | 03:10 |
| _schism_ | okie dokie so the sun-java it is then | 03:11 |
| aveilleux | Er, no, the JRE is the Java Runtime Environment | 03:11 |
| aveilleux | the JDK is the Java Development Kit | 03:11 |
| _schism_ | i am installing the jdk and the jre to be safe :) | 03:12 |
| _schism_ | bah what is glx? | 03:21 |
| MrAnthrope | Hm. I'm using Vuze Media Server to stream video to my PS3. I see the server on my PS3 but the folders are empty. And I don't see my videos folder. Does anyone know how I could try to find what folders Vuze is trying to link to and swap them for my actual media directories? | 03:34 |
| MrAnthrope | I found a .azureus folder but it doesn't seem to contain anything about the media server options. and the config button in vuze doesn't have any path options. | 03:35 |
| MrAnthrope | I see downloads, music, movies, & pictures folders. Which are not folders that are in my home folder. | 03:37 |
| MrAnthrope | nor in .azureus. | 03:39 |
| yofel | _schism_: usually short for opengl extension, graphics driver stuff, what's the problem? | 03:45 |
| _schism_ | yofel, error trying to run minecraft. got java straight now that error | 03:46 |
| _schism_ | yofel, this is the error http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5008250/java-error.png | 03:48 |
| MrAnthrope | performing a search for a folder named "Movies" comes up blank. How is Vuze linking to a folder that doesn't exist and has nothing in it >.< | 03:48 |
| yofel | no idea :/ | 03:48 |
| MrAnthrope | Hrm. Schism do you have chrome or chromium installed? | 03:49 |
| _schism_ | MrAnthrope, yep havnt tried it since I got java straight..... | 03:49 |
| _schism_ | same error | 03:50 |
| MrAnthrope | yeah I just switched to firefox and it's working for me. That JWGL thing sounds familiar gimme a sec. | 03:51 |
| MrAnthrope | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581381 | 03:54 |
| MrAnthrope | Read that and see if that sounds like your problem. | 03:54 |
| yofel | do you have liblwjgl-java-jni installed? | 03:55 |
| _schism_ | yofel, doesnt show up | 03:57 |
| yofel | ah, it's not in lucid, we only have that in the archive for maverick and natty :/ | 03:58 |
| yofel | try a link from that form thread, maybe it helps | 03:58 |
| MrAnthrope | I don't suppose there's a way to use JOGL + AWT on Minecraft... I play another java based game that lets you choose which rendering thing you use. | 03:58 |
| MrAnthrope | I have mouse issues with JOGL + AWT. | 03:58 |
| MrAnthrope | So I use LWJGL. | 03:59 |
| === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin | ||
| MrAnthrope | Man this is really annoying. Has anyone here ever used the Vuze Media Server? I have no idea what folders it's linking to. | 04:03 |
| Cheri703 | MrAnthrope: I was glancing back at what you'd said your issue was, so it's showing pictures/whatever folders that don't exist? | 04:04 |
| MrAnthrope | Evidently. On my PS3 I see "Vuze on CZ-Ubuntu" and it lists 4 folders (which are empty). | 04:05 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 04:05 |
| Cheri703 | hmm... | 04:05 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm not sure how to direct it to my external HDD where all my videos are. | 04:05 |
| Cheri703 | ok, so wait, the folders exist in your home folder and are empty or they don't exist? | 04:05 |
| MrAnthrope | I go to plugins and media server and hit the config button but there's nothing there about a file path. There is an option to upload all media to server but that didn't do anything either. | 04:06 |
| Cheri703 | is it pointing to /home/user/music or whatever? | 04:06 |
| MrAnthrope | I can't find these folders on my hard drive at all. it lists one folder on my PS3 "Movies". I don't have any movies folders. | 04:06 |
| MrAnthrope | that's what I thought. But it should be "Videos". Not "Movies". | 04:06 |
| Cheri703 | which search method are you using? | 04:06 |
| Cheri703 | nautilus search box? | 04:07 |
| MrAnthrope | And putting a movie in the "videos" folder didn't bring it up on my PS3. | 04:07 |
| MrAnthrope | yeah the icon in the upper right hand corner. | 04:07 |
| Cheri703 | that thing is dumb, it doesn't find folders properly, go to Places > Search For Files | 04:07 |
| Cheri703 | that one will find folders | 04:08 |
| MrAnthrope | lol ok. | 04:08 |
| Cheri703 | the other one doesn't for some reason | 04:08 |
| MrAnthrope | No files found. | 04:08 |
| Cheri703 | >.< ok | 04:09 |
| MrAnthrope | I have an idea. | 04:09 |
| Cheri703 | ok? | 04:10 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 04:22 |
| MrAnthrope | I torrented a music video from the Vuze Network thing and assigned it to Category:Movies. Now the Movies folder on my PS3 contains a Movies folder. Which is still empty. | 04:23 |
| MrAnthrope | Okay if I r-click the file in Vuze and select show details and go to the file tab and r-click the media file I get some options... Media Server: Play Locally, Media Server: Play on renderer, and Copy URI stream to clipboard. | 04:33 |
| MrAnthrope | Play on renderer is greyed out. | 04:33 |
| thewrath | hey all | 04:37 |
| MrAnthrope | hey | 04:37 |
| thewrath | I want to use a GUI to monitor processes, etc for my server | 04:38 |
| thewrath | any suggestions for free open source ones? | 04:38 |
| MrAnthrope | No idea, don't use a server. | 04:39 |
| MrAnthrope | Play locally just opens the file. I don't understand... grr | 04:40 |
| thewrath | ? | 04:40 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm having Vuze Media Server issues. | 04:41 |
| MrAnthrope | You came in halfway through me rambling to myself, heh. | 04:41 |
| MrAnthrope | As far as I can tell from google searching the files should just show up. And they aren't. | 04:55 |
| tenach | What's going on, MrAnthrope? | 05:07 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm trying to use Vuze Media Server to stream videos to my PS3. | 05:08 |
| MrAnthrope | I can see the server on my PS3. But the media I have torrented with Vuze is not showing up. | 05:08 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm not partial to Vuze. I just knew it had a Media Server plugin. | 05:09 |
| MrAnthrope | But it doesn't seem to be working. According to a bit of googling the files should just show up. | 05:09 |
| MrAnthrope | Well that was simple. lol. Installed Java PS3 Media Server and specified my Video file path and it showed up and it's playing on my PS3 now :) | 05:36 |
| MrAnthrope | Think I might uninstall Vuze. | 05:36 |
| yax51 | hello, does anyone know how to fix a microphone? | 06:34 |
| karthick87 | yax51: what's the problem? | 06:48 |
| yax51 | my microphone doesn't work, it works fine in vista, but not in ubuntu 10.04 | 06:49 |
| yax51 | I've looked through the forums but didnt find anything of any use | 06:49 |
| karthick87 | yax51: check out this http://devilsworkshop.org/how-to-configure-microphone-in-ubuntu-10-04-and-skype/ | 06:50 |
| karthick87 | yax51: got working? | 06:54 |
| yax51 | actually, in step 3 I don't get the option for mic 1 or 2.... | 06:58 |
| yax51 | its almost as its not detecting ANY microphone, which I suspect is the problem | 06:58 |
| MrAnthrope | Hrm. I'm trying to convert a gigantic .mkv file to .vob and VLC is not doing it. I don't care about quality loss. I googled for ubuntu convert mkv to vob and I only got hits for windows programs. | 06:59 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: You want to burn to DVD? | 06:59 |
| MrAnthrope | No. | 06:59 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: Then what are you using vob files for? | 07:00 |
| yax51 | MrAnthrope: did you try the ubuntu software center? | 07:00 |
| MrAnthrope | my pS3. | 07:00 |
| aveilleux | MrAnthrope: Can it take any other format? Because that seems strange that it would only use the one format that's pretty much never used on computers. | 07:01 |
| MrAnthrope | My problem is my computer only has a single core cpu and it cannot handle transcoding an mkv file but it can play vob files without transcoding at all. | 07:02 |
| MrAnthrope | Which would be preferred. | 07:02 |
| MrAnthrope | I can't even watch the file locally. My computer is just too old and the file is too good of quality. it's a blu-ray rip. | 07:02 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm not sure what to look for in the software center. I already have WinFF installed but it doesn't do mkv to vob. | 07:03 |
| karthick87 | yax51: can you post the outputs of these commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/539660/ | 07:04 |
| yax51 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/539661/ | 07:09 |
| yax51 | theres is the arista transcoder | 07:13 |
| yax51 | that might be helpful | 07:13 |
| MrAnthrope | Thanks, yax51, I'll look into that. | 07:16 |
| karthick87 | yax51: edit alsa-base.conf "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" add "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1" without quotes at the end of the file. | 07:16 |
| karthick87 | yax51: Type alsamixer in terminal.Can you see your mic listed there? | 07:20 |
| yax51 | hmmm intersesting, there doesn't seem to be an alsa-base.conf file at all | 07:20 |
| karthick87 | yax51: Type alsamixer in terminal.Can you see your mic listed there? | 07:23 |
| yax51 | i found it... | 07:23 |
| karthick87 | what's the ouput of "lshw -c sound" | 07:24 |
| yax51 | I can't edit the alsa-base.conf | 07:27 |
| karthick87 | what's the ouput of "lshw -c sound" | 07:28 |
| yax51 | I try to run it via the terminal, with gksudo, but it opens a blank file, and when I access the file directly, its read only | 07:28 |
| yax51 | and I can't change the permissions... | 07:29 |
| karthick87 | yax51: PM me | 07:29 |
| beachbuddah | GM erryone | 08:15 |
| beachbuddah | Here's the question - I see it's possible to dl the latest Natty build, boot from your USB and play with it safely to find bugs n report em | 08:16 |
| beachbuddah | so - how do I get my bios to offer me a USB boot option? | 08:16 |
| karthick87 | beachbuddah: By default your bios will have USB boot option.Select USB boot as you first boot device | 08:19 |
| suprengr | beachbuddah: it's normally under 'boot' settings in bios. then look for an option to enable usb/external device | 08:20 |
| suprengr | beachbuddah: you may need to press[f12] or something during PPOST | 08:20 |
| suprengr | *POST | 08:20 |
| suprengr | [that will other you a boot device selection] | 08:21 |
| beachbuddah | yeh - I apologize - I was wondering how sort of change the bios to accept USB - it currently doesn't recognize it as an option (despite the fact that this laptop has 4 USB ports) | 08:22 |
| suprengr | sorry, other=offer [doh!] | 08:22 |
| suprengr | beachbuddah: what sections / headings does your bios offer & what machine are we talking about | 08:23 |
| Cheri703 | beachbuddah: usually press delete during the post (when it shows the motherboard info) | 08:23 |
| Cheri703 | then you can go in and (in theory) tell it to allow usb boot | 08:23 |
| beachbuddah | this is an old gateway 7330gz (prob. 2005 vintage) it offers me the chance to set a boot order - currently I have it set for CD-ROM first HDD second and I can't remember what the 3rd option is | 08:25 |
| suprengr | beachbuddah: look for boot security or something similar - usb may not be enabled | 08:26 |
| Cheri703 | beachbuddah: some computers won't offer usb as an option unless it's plugged in when you go in there | 08:26 |
| suprengr | & what Cheri703 sais | 08:26 |
| suprengr | said | 08:26 |
| beachbuddah | hmmm - both v interesting answers - lemme go n see what happens | 08:26 |
| Cheri703 | also might be worth looking if there's a bios upgrade available | 08:27 |
| beachbuddah | brb whilst I push buttons and prod options | 08:27 |
| beachbuddah | Cheri703! Yes - I can't find any documentation that tells me who my mobo mfgr is | 08:27 |
| Cheri703 | being a gateway, you might be able to search the model on their site for downloads, dell has them like that | 08:28 |
| beachbuddah | I'll look that up | 08:28 |
| beachbuddah | thanks for the direction | 08:28 |
| beachbuddah | I'll let you know what happens | 08:28 |
| * suprengr goes for a coffee... hoping it might improve the typing ;) | 08:30 | |
| Cheri703 | heh, yeah, 3:30am here | 08:30 |
| Cheri703 | show I'm watching is almost over, so might migrate to lay in bed, so if I stop responding, I fell asleep :) | 08:31 |
| Cheri703 | any luck beachbuddah? | 08:58 |
| beachbuddah | well if it isn't the #ubuntu-beginners chan | 08:58 |
| beachbuddah | not really | 08:58 |
| Cheri703 | :( | 08:59 |
| beachbuddah | I booted into the bios, no choice for usb (thogu floppy IS - hah!) | 08:59 |
| Cheri703 | well, I'm headed to bed, but my suggestion would be 2 things: search "gateway model# boot usb" and go to gateway.com and see if there are bios updates for your model | 09:00 |
| Cheri703 | between the 2, you should be able to find SOMETHING that might help | 09:00 |
| beachbuddah | Cheri703! thank you | 09:00 |
| beachbuddah | sleep well | 09:00 |
| Cheri703 | thanks. night | 09:00 |
| beachbuddah | ok - I'm out - thanks every body for your continued assistance | 09:01 |

| shahan | can you help me to install WINDOWS in VMWARE on ubuntu | 14:57 |
| bioterror | cut something | 14:57 |
| shahan | ? | 14:57 |
| bioterror | !vm | 14:57 |
| ubot2 | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 14:57 |
| shahan | I am thinking using Virtual BOx | 14:57 |
| bioterror | !vmware | shahan | 14:57 |
| ubot2 | shahan: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 14:57 |
| shahan | Oracle Vm Virtual box | 14:57 |
| bioterror | !virtualbox | shahan | 14:58 |
| ubot2 | shahan: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 14:58 |
| shahan | ya | 14:58 |
| bioterror | os x and finalcut or something | 14:58 |

| bioterror | nope, I dont have one | 15:03 |
| Cheri703 | shahan: that's not really what we do :/ | 15:03 |
| bioterror | I think running a virtualbox is not a rocket science | 15:03 |
| shahan | hm | 15:04 |
| shahan | Cheri703, ya I know | 15:04 |
| shahan | as I am using IRC for about 1 year | 15:04 |
| bioterror | you can still quit | 15:04 |
| shahan | its just a personal appeal to him | 15:04 |
| bioterror | I've alot of time of life in IRC | 15:05 |
| shahan | however.... | 15:05 |
| bioterror | so shahahan | 15:05 |
| shahan | I have attached CD ROM on my running PC | 15:05 |
| bioterror | tell us what's your experience with Blender, Kino and Stopmotion | 15:05 |
| shahan | how can I make it detect on ubuntu without restarting | 15:06 |
| shahan | bioterror, I have used stopmotion | 15:06 |
| bioterror | if it's a usb cd-rom -drive, you should see it with lsusb | 15:06 |
| shahan | sorry... | 15:06 |
| shahan | kino | 15:06 |
| shahan | no | 15:06 |
| shahan | its SATA | 15:07 |
| bioterror | well | 15:07 |
| bioterror | does your precious windows detect sata drives as a hotswappable? | 15:07 |
| shahan | I am not satisfyed with the ubuntu's video editing soft | 15:07 |
| shahan | bioterror, ya... | 15:07 |
| shahan | bioterror, its possible to be connected a SATA on running pc on windows XP | 15:08 |
| shahan | just refresing the hardware list is good enough | 15:08 |
| shahan | how to do that on ubuntu? | 15:08 |
| bioterror | does dmesg find it? | 15:09 |
| suprengr | shahan: going back to your 1st statement - if you're frustrated with this channel being inactive... thought of becoming a member and being proactive in the channel? | 15:09 |
| bioterror | or rather: do you find it from dmesg | 15:09 |
| shahan | suprengr, sorry !!! | 15:09 |
| bioterror | shahan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PiTiVi what's your experience with this one? | 15:10 |
| shahan | bioterror, so bed | 15:10 |
| shahan | bad | 15:10 |
| suprengr | shahan: no apology needed... but thanks | 15:11 |
| shahan | bioterror, http://paste.ubuntu.com/539745/ | 15:11 |
| shahan | suprengr, I think you didnt read the full text of mine | 15:12 |
| bioterror | shahan, shahan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenShot_Video_Editor how about this one? | 15:12 |
| shahan | I didnt say any word like you are saying that I am frustrated with this channel being inactive | 15:12 |
| shahan | bad experience | 15:13 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiVES | 15:13 |
| bioterror | could you please tell us more | 15:14 |
| suprengr | [oh yes i did... my comment was only based on the fact that I am also thinking of (trying to] becoming a member - having noticed it getting a bit 'quiet' at times | 15:14 |
| suprengr | [if only I could get down to doing that wiki page!!!! 1st weekend off in yonks] | 15:15 |
| shahan | bioterror, I didnt used Lives | 15:15 |
| shahan | Let me install it | 15:15 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinelerra | 15:16 |
| shahan | cinelerra is a complex software | 15:16 |
| shahan | I dont like this | 15:16 |
| bioterror | but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_and_open_source_software_packages#Video_editing check more from there, I'm off to make salad or something | 15:19 |
| suprengr | just a thought but... In Norse mythology, a troll is a generally negative synonym for jötunn. Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right.. if you know what I mean ;) | 15:25 |
| thewrath | i wnat to watch a process tree in linux and find out why it gets killed | 15:26 |
| === kramer is now known as Guest44838 | ||
| thewrath | i want to get a shower and if it gets killed i will not see the reason | 15:27 |
| thewrath | why help> | 15:27 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: like htop or something? | 15:28 |
| thewrath | what does htop do stlsaint | 15:28 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: like a task manager for windows | 15:28 |
| stlsaint | but more functions | 15:28 |
| thewrath | so just run htop? | 15:29 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: you may have to install it | 15:29 |
| stlsaint | but regular top should be on a default install | 15:29 |
| stlsaint | i just like htop over top for color legends :D | 15:29 |
| thewrath | if a process gets killed how will i know if i am afk | 15:31 |
| stlsaint | logs should show that yes? | 15:32 |
| thewrath | no | 15:32 |
| thewrath | it is a program i had to compile | 15:32 |
| thewrath | i think it is because it is out of memory | 15:32 |
| thewrath | i upped my fam from 512 to 1024 and want to see if that helps | 15:33 |
| stlsaint | oh | 15:34 |
| stlsaint | hrm | 15:34 |
| thewrath | when i had 512 i think it said out of memory | 15:34 |
| stlsaint | i know there are some tools that can do that for system admins, im just unsure of what | 15:34 |
| Cheri703 | this might be more complex than it needs to be, but couldn't you set up one of the screencasting/screenrecording programs? | 15:34 |
| Cheri703 | then it'd just record what happens and you could watch it when you're back | 15:35 |
| thewrath | any suggestions Cheri703 | 15:35 |
| Cheri703 | uhm, hang on, I will look | 15:35 |
| stlsaint | use RecordmyDesktop | 15:36 |
| thewrath | free? | 15:36 |
| Cheri703 | package is gtk-recordmydesktop | 15:36 |
| * Cheri703 just found that one :) | 15:36 | |
| thewrath | i am using ubuntu server | 15:37 |
| thewrath | within vmware server | 15:37 |
| Cheri703 | so wait... | 15:37 |
| Cheri703 | you have no gui? | 15:37 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: hrm, it is a bit much but you can go with a server monitor like nagios | 15:37 |
| Cheri703 | what is your host OS? | 15:38 |
| thewrath | Windows XP | 15:38 |
| thewrath | i am using webmin right now | 15:38 |
| thewrath | let me look at nagios | 15:38 |
| Cheri703 | if you want to go the recording route, just make vmware windowed, but whatever you need visible, then try something like: http://www.4all2all.net/2008/07/tipcam-free-screen-recorder-for-windows.html | 15:39 |
| bioterror | suprengr, i have to check if the book "väinämöisen mytologia" is translated into english | 16:09 |
| bioterror | suprengr, its full of stuff like that | 16:09 |
| bioterror | the writer of that saga just got stabbed to death, like month ago | 16:10 |
| suprengr | ouch! | 16:11 |
| thewrath | stlsaint, i have that installed | 16:12 |
| thewrath | how i do look at the current running processes and why they were killed? | 16:13 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: it has been some time since i used nagios, the site docs or help.ubuntu docs will better explain its uses | 16:20 |
| thewrath | all right | 16:21 |
| bioterror | suprengr, bocksaga.de/introduction.htm | 16:25 |
| suprengr | bioterror: having a look at it now. thanks | 16:27 |
| thewrath | stlsaint, which one is better nagois or webmin | 16:30 |
| stlsaint | thewrath: i have never used webmin so i cant judge it but i enjoy nagios | 16:31 |
| thewrath | stlsaint, btw this is what i used to set up nagois | 16:32 |
| thewrath | http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html | 16:32 |
| suprengr | bioterror: inscribed with "Honesty, Logic and Truth"... now there's a phrase worth repeating! | 16:32 |
| suprengr | bioterror: ...and perhaps to be adopted by many a postee in freenode channels ;) | 16:34 |
| yax51 | Karthick87: hello! | 19:47 |

| karthick87 | hiyas cprofitt | 19:48 |
| karthick87 | yax51: I got some work,give me some time | 19:48 |
| yax51 | Karthick87: I looked in the device manager and found the device file and found that it is indeed there, but I was wondering if I needed to change some of the parameters | 19:49 |
| yax51 | Karthick87: for sure, thanks! | 19:49 |
