| nuvolari | morning oom Kilos, maiatoday, superfly, nlsthzn, drubin, Cantide | 10:33 |
| Cantide | hello | 10:33 |
| Cantide | hi Kilos '< | 10:33 |
| superfly | afternoon nuvolari | 10:34 |
| Kilos | hi Cantide | 10:34 |
| nlsthzn | alo | 10:35 |
| Cantide | anyone have advice for playing DVDs in Ubuntu? | 10:38 |
| Cantide | can't get mine to work -.- | 10:39 |
| superfly | Cantide: go to medibuntu.org and add the repository | 10:39 |
| superfly | install libdvdcss2 | 10:39 |
| superfly | and vlc | 10:39 |
| superfly | and you're good to go | 10:39 |
| Cantide | aha | 10:40 |
| Cantide | i got vlc a few minutes ago | 10:40 |
| Cantide | heard about medibuntu, but had trouble adding it through the terminal | 10:40 |
| Cantide | lemme try the website '< | 10:40 |
| superfly | cool, now you just need libdvdcss2 | 10:40 |
| Cantide | thanks, i thought i had it when i used the terminal | 10:42 |
| superfly | Cantide: which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 10:42 |
| Cantide | but i must have misunderstood what i was doing there lol | 10:42 |
| Cantide | superfly, still 9.04 T_T | 10:42 |
| Cantide | until i get a newer version i'm kinda stuck | 10:42 |
| superfly | that's karmic, hey? | 10:42 |
| superfly | http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/libdvdcss2.html | 10:43 |
| Cantide | Jaunty | 10:43 |
| Cantide | one before Karmic | 10:43 |
| superfly | ah | 10:43 |
| superfly | Cantide: why can't you upgrade? | 10:44 |
| nlsthzn | first thing I do after I install Ubuntu "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrricted-extras" then everything just works :D | 10:44 |
| Cantide | superfly, lack of new version :p | 10:44 |
| confluency | Only one r. | 10:44 |
| Cantide | superfly, no bandwidth, and no disks == fail :D | 10:44 |
| superfly | Cantide: so where do you live? | 10:44 |
| Cantide | but my friend is downloading a newer ver for me | 10:44 |
| Cantide | superfly, the horrible area of Queensburgh | 10:45 |
| confluency | Surely Medibuntu still has Jaunty packages? | 10:45 |
| nlsthzn | confluency: sorry, thanks | 10:45 |
| superfly | Cantide: outside durban? | 10:45 |
| Cantide | superfly, western suburbs | 10:46 |
| Cantide | confluency, i replaced 'karmic' with 'jaunty' in that URL and i seem to have found it | 10:46 |
| Cantide | although i was given the option to 'reinstall' | 10:46 |
| Cantide | so that means i did already have it | 10:46 |
| Cantide | grrr | 10:46 |
| Cantide | maybe it's just this dvd... lemme try another '< | 10:46 |
| Cantide | brb | 10:46 |
| confluency | Cantide: I don't know what instructions you were following, but you should use these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 10:47 |
| Cantide | thanks, i'll have a look | 10:47 |
| confluency | Are you sure you have it? Did you check? | 10:47 |
| confluency | And what is the problem withthe DVD? | 10:47 |
| Cantide | i also thought that maybe i need to use chmod to gain access to the drive... but i don't think so | 10:47 |
| confluency | No. You don't. o_O | 10:48 |
| Cantide | >_> | 10:48 |
| Cantide | okay then... i hope i didn't mess anything up | 10:48 |
| Cantide | well, when i try to play it, a video window just opens and closes in a split second... nothing else happens | 10:48 |
| confluency | Do you have libdvdcss? | 10:48 |
| superfly | Cantide: nuvolari here lives in Ballito, and there are some other folks on the mailing list in Durban, so you should be able to hook up with someone and get a CD pretty easily | 10:49 |
| confluency | Cantide: dpkg -l | grep libdvdcss | 10:49 |
| Cantide | ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 Simple foundation for reading DVDs - runtime | 10:49 |
| Cantide | seems i have it | 10:49 |
| Cantide | wait, i'll get another dvd, brb | 10:49 |
| Cantide | what if it's a region problem? how would i know? | 10:50 |
| confluency | OK. Do you have lsdvd? | 10:50 |
| confluency | It's not a region problem. | 10:50 |
| confluency | Linux players tell DVDs where they can stick their regions. | 10:50 |
| Cantide | lol | 10:50 |
| confluency | If you don't have lsdvd, install it. | 10:50 |
| confluency | Then try: lsdvd | 10:50 |
| confluency | and see if you can read the DVD and what it says. | 10:51 |
| Cantide | installed it.. | 10:51 |
| Cantide | how do i use it? | 10:51 |
| confluency | just lsdvd | 10:51 |
| Cantide | ok | 10:51 |
| confluency | If it works, you should see a list of chapters (or whatever they're called) and their sizes. | 10:52 |
| confluency | Do you have mplayer? | 10:52 |
| Cantide | Can't find device /dev/dvd | 10:52 |
| Cantide | weird, this DVD plays fine O_O | 10:52 |
| Cantide | let me try the other one again... | 10:52 |
| confluency | Is your dvd called something funny? | 10:52 |
| confluency | I mean dvd drive. | 10:52 |
| Cantide | aha! | 10:55 |
| Cantide | it works now :D | 10:55 |
| Cantide | sweet :D | 10:55 |
| Cantide | thanks everyone '< | 10:55 |
| afrodeity | any word about the DDOS attacks? | 14:39 |
| === smorar__ is now known as smorar_ | ||
| === smorar_ is now known as smorar__ | ||
| Kilos | hi afrodeity go ask on #freenode | 14:58 |
| Kilos | they right there | 14:58 |
| afrodeity | just wondering if anyone affected this side | 14:59 |
| Kilos | just lotsa peeps on and off i see | 15:00 |
| Kilos | afrodeity, have you got your bot working yet/ | 15:00 |
| Kilos | ? | 15:00 |
| afrodeity | botnet | 15:12 |
| nlsthzn | ? something wrong on the interwebs? | 15:14 |
| nlsthzn | http://dot.kde.org/2010/12/08/canonical-donates-server-kde | 15:16 |
| afrodeity | just a distributed denial of service against mastercard in response to its DDOS against Wikileaks | 15:30 |
| nlsthzn | wow, when will people learn that you don't use the interwebs weapons against it and survive | 15:35 |
| nlsthzn | oh, mastercard didn't ddos wikileaks lol, I miss understood, now anon is at it again | 15:37 |
| nlsthzn | http://www.voanews.com/english/news/Hackers-Avenge-WikiLeaks-Leader-with-Operation-Payback-111520314.html | 15:37 |
| |3o|3 | looks like fun, what are the laws with regard to ddos in ZA? | 16:32 |
| nlsthzn | The beauty of a DDOS is you can claim you didn't know you where part of it (botnet infection etc.) | 16:37 |
| |3o|3 | true dat | 16:39 |
| |3o|3 | also | 16:39 |
| |3o|3 | you're just dossing | 16:39 |
| |3o|3 | its the OTHER people that are ddossing:P | 16:39 |
| Kerbero | lol | 16:44 |
| Kerbero | you're just visiting a website | 16:44 |
| Kerbero | no dossing | 16:45 |
| Kerbero | but mark my words: | 16:45 |
| Kerbero | hier kom moeilikheid met hierdie hele wikileaks besigheid | 16:45 |
| nlsthzn | Kerbero: True that | 16:45 |
| nlsthzn | |3o|3: semantics | 16:45 |
| nlsthzn | Sometimes what people want isn't the best for them... freedom of speech, freedom of information... | 16:52 |
| Kilos | night all sleep tight | 17:44 |
| nlsthzn | wow, Kilo's crashing early tonight | 17:45 |
| superfly | he's usually up till much later | 18:12 |
| nlsthzn | jono casting again, showing folks how to make a live usb :) | 19:18 |
| nuvolari | Maaz: tell Cantide You can join us this coming Sunday (12th) ref. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-za/2010-December/006990.html | 20:14 |
| Maaz | nuvolari: Sure, I'll tell Cantide on freenode | 20:14 |
| nuvolari | we'll be at the Musgrave spur (Mustang Spur) | 20:14 |
| nuvolari | er | 20:14 |
| nuvolari | Maaz: tell Cantide We'll be at the Mustang Spur in the Musgrave centre | 20:14 |
| Maaz | nuvolari: Righto, I'll tell Cantide on freenode | 20:14 |
| kodez | how do i configure apt-get to look at a folder in my pc for packages that i had downloaded? | 20:35 |
| Kerbero | i think you must dump the packages somewhere in /var/apt/cache | 20:45 |
| Kerbero | but why don't you just install them directly | 20:46 |
| drubin | or you can use the synax in sources.list and use the file:// prefix | 20:49 |
| inetpro | or you can use aptoncd to transfer easily from system to system | 20:56 |
| Kerbero | E: Failed to fetch ftp://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wireshark/wireshark_1.2.11-4build0.10.10.1_i386.deb: Unable to fetch file, server said 'Can't open /ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wireshark/wireshark_1.2.11-4build0.10.10.1_i386.deb: No such file or directory ' | 22:46 |
| Kerbero | why are all the south african ubuntu mirrors doing this | 22:47 |
| Kerbero | different packages at different times | 22:47 |
| Kerbero | but both ftp.sun and za.mirror give this error sometimes | 22:47 |
| tumbleweed | Kerbero: some mirrors don't follow the correct two-stage sync process (and even that leaves some inconsistancies for a short while) | 23:03 |
| Kerbero | define "short" | 23:03 |
| tumbleweed | there isn't an absolute time | 23:04 |
| tumbleweed | the two stage sync does debs first, then everything. If a bunch more debs have appeared between starting stage 1 and starting stage 2, stage 2 will take a while | 23:04 |
| tumbleweed | the longer stage 2 takes, the bigger the chance that the lists will be out of sync with the debs | 23:05 |
| tumbleweed | if that happens, it'll stay that way until the next sync (probably 6 hours) | 23:05 |
| tumbleweed | we do a 3-stage sync on ftp.leg, because we aren't guaranteed enough bandwidth for fast syncing | 23:06 |
| Kerbero | ok | 23:10 |
| Kerbero | complicated | 23:10 |
| Kerbero | but i would have thought that a main miroor like za.mirror should be on fast enough internet for something like that not to happen very easily | 23:10 |
| tumbleweed | races happen, no matter how fast :) | 23:11 |
| Kerbero | hehe | 23:11 |
| Kerbero | true | 23:11 |
