[07:34] wb maiatoday long time no see [07:35] hi drubin [07:35] I was here yesterday [07:35] not on the weekend though [07:36] no exams for me anymore (which sucks, it means no growth too) [10:26] '< [10:27] ? [10:33] morning oom Kilos, maiatoday, superfly, nlsthzn, drubin, Cantide [10:33] hello [10:33] hi Kilos '< [10:34] afternoon nuvolari [10:34] hi Cantide [10:35] alo [10:38] anyone have advice for playing DVDs in Ubuntu? [10:39] can't get mine to work -.- [10:39] Cantide: go to medibuntu.org and add the repository [10:39] install libdvdcss2 [10:39] and vlc [10:39] and you're good to go [10:40] aha [10:40] i got vlc a few minutes ago [10:40] heard about medibuntu, but had trouble adding it through the terminal [10:40] lemme try the website '< [10:40] cool, now you just need libdvdcss2 [10:42] thanks, i thought i had it when i used the terminal [10:42] Cantide: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [10:42] but i must have misunderstood what i was doing there lol [10:42] superfly, still 9.04 T_T [10:42] until i get a newer version i'm kinda stuck [10:42] that's karmic, hey? [10:43] http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/libdvdcss2.html [10:43] Jaunty [10:43] one before Karmic [10:43] ah [10:44] Cantide: why can't you upgrade? [10:44] first thing I do after I install Ubuntu "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrricted-extras" then everything just works :D [10:44] superfly, lack of new version :p [10:44] Only one r. [10:44] superfly, no bandwidth, and no disks == fail :D [10:44] Cantide: so where do you live? [10:44] but my friend is downloading a newer ver for me [10:45] superfly, the horrible area of Queensburgh [10:45] Surely Medibuntu still has Jaunty packages? [10:45] confluency: sorry, thanks [10:45] Cantide: outside durban? [10:46] superfly, western suburbs [10:46] confluency, i replaced 'karmic' with 'jaunty' in that URL and i seem to have found it [10:46] although i was given the option to 'reinstall' [10:46] so that means i did already have it [10:46] grrr [10:46] maybe it's just this dvd... lemme try another '< [10:46] brb [10:47] Cantide: I don't know what instructions you were following, but you should use these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [10:47] thanks, i'll have a look [10:47] Are you sure you have it? Did you check? [10:47] And what is the problem withthe DVD? [10:47] i also thought that maybe i need to use chmod to gain access to the drive... but i don't think so [10:48] No. You don't. o_O [10:48] >_> [10:48] okay then... i hope i didn't mess anything up [10:48] well, when i try to play it, a video window just opens and closes in a split second... nothing else happens [10:48] Do you have libdvdcss? [10:49] 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] Cantide: dpkg -l | grep libdvdcss [10:49] ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 Simple foundation for reading DVDs - runtime [10:49] seems i have it [10:49] wait, i'll get another dvd, brb [10:50] what if it's a region problem? how would i know? [10:50] OK. Do you have lsdvd? [10:50] It's not a region problem. [10:50] Linux players tell DVDs where they can stick their regions. [10:50] lol [10:50] If you don't have lsdvd, install it. [10:50] Then try: lsdvd [10:51] and see if you can read the DVD and what it says. [10:51] installed it.. [10:51] how do i use it? [10:51] just lsdvd [10:51] ok [10:52] If it works, you should see a list of chapters (or whatever they're called) and their sizes. [10:52] Do you have mplayer? [10:52] Can't find device /dev/dvd [10:52] weird, this DVD plays fine O_O [10:52] let me try the other one again... [10:52] Is your dvd called something funny? [10:52] I mean dvd drive. [10:55] aha! [10:55] it works now :D [10:55] sweet :D [10:55] thanks everyone '< [14:39] any word about the DDOS attacks? === smorar__ is now known as smorar_ === smorar_ is now known as smorar__ [14:58] hi afrodeity go ask on #freenode [14:58] they right there [14:59] just wondering if anyone affected this side [15:00] just lotsa peeps on and off i see [15:00] afrodeity, have you got your bot working yet/ [15:00] ? [15:12] botnet [15:14] ? something wrong on the interwebs? [15:16] http://dot.kde.org/2010/12/08/canonical-donates-server-kde [15:30] just a distributed denial of service against mastercard in response to its DDOS against Wikileaks [15:35] wow, when will people learn that you don't use the interwebs weapons against it and survive [15:37] oh, mastercard didn't ddos wikileaks lol, I miss understood, now anon is at it again [15:37] http://www.voanews.com/english/news/Hackers-Avenge-WikiLeaks-Leader-with-Operation-Payback-111520314.html [16:32] <|3o|3> looks like fun, what are the laws with regard to ddos in ZA? [16:37] The beauty of a DDOS is you can claim you didn't know you where part of it (botnet infection etc.) [16:39] <|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 [16:44] lol [16:44] you're just visiting a website [16:45] no dossing [16:45] but mark my words: [16:45] hier kom moeilikheid met hierdie hele wikileaks besigheid [16:45] Kerbero: True that [16:45] |3o|3: semantics [16:52] Sometimes what people want isn't the best for them... freedom of speech, freedom of information... [17:44] night all sleep tight [17:45] wow, Kilo's crashing early tonight [18:12] he's usually up till much later [19:18] jono casting again, showing folks how to make a live usb :) [20:14] 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] nuvolari: Sure, I'll tell Cantide on freenode [20:14] we'll be at the Musgrave spur (Mustang Spur) [20:14] er [20:14] Maaz: tell Cantide We'll be at the Mustang Spur in the Musgrave centre [20:14] nuvolari: Righto, I'll tell Cantide on freenode [20:35] how do i configure apt-get to look at a folder in my pc for packages that i had downloaded? [20:45] i think you must dump the packages somewhere in /var/apt/cache [20:46] but why don't you just install them directly [20:49] or you can use the synax in sources.list and use the file:// prefix [20:56] or you can use aptoncd to transfer easily from system to system [22:46] 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 ' [22:47] why are all the south african ubuntu mirrors doing this [22:47] different packages at different times [22:47] but both ftp.sun and za.mirror give this error sometimes [23:03] Kerbero: some mirrors don't follow the correct two-stage sync process (and even that leaves some inconsistancies for a short while) [23:03] define "short" [23:04] there isn't an absolute time [23:04] 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 [23:05] the longer stage 2 takes, the bigger the chance that the lists will be out of sync with the debs [23:05] if that happens, it'll stay that way until the next sync (probably 6 hours) [23:06] we do a 3-stage sync on ftp.leg, because we aren't guaranteed enough bandwidth for fast syncing [23:10] ok [23:10] complicated [23:10] 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 [23:11] races happen, no matter how fast :) [23:11] hehe [23:11] true
