[00:11] I'm back. Gnome is pissing me off [00:14] I've entered my e-mail address and password like 30 times now and ubuntu one will not work [00:14] I've rebooted at least 3 times and also logged out about 10 times [00:16] all I originally wanted to do was change my ubuntu one password so I don't have to enter my password when I login [00:33] anyone here record their desktop? [00:35] never mind I found screen cast [01:09] dmcglone: I <3 recordmydesktop [01:09] I <3 pida [01:11] when you fire up pida (it's a minimalistic IDE), it says "Pida is starting, and it loves you" [01:11] More software needs to tell me it loves me [01:18] deejoe: thats what It is. Now I need to figure out how to encode the file from .ogv to something youtube reconizes [01:20] it will play in totem, but not youtube [01:24] Hello! Anyone have perl knowledge? [01:34] Nevermind. Figured it out. [01:37] that was easy [01:38] dmcglone: yeah, I jfgi to find some recipe at some point, but I'll be dipped in carmel if I remember where I put it [01:40] I think I found something [01:40] mencoder -idx input.ogv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output.avi [01:42] looks reasonable [01:43] it seems to be working [01:43] trying it first on something short, I hope :) [01:44] lol [01:44] :-/ [01:44] ohgnoes [01:44] it's done [01:44] wow that was fast [01:44] and the verdict is? [01:44] 13 minute video I belive [01:44] let me look [01:45] hang on, have to install software for avi [01:46] bingo! it works great [01:46] now I'll show you the video I made [01:46] let me upload to youtube [01:47] Whee. I just hauled home another old computer... [01:47] what you gonna use it for/ [01:48] ? [01:48] Parts, most likely. [01:48] I just pitched 2 olds ones [01:48] There's no memory, no drives in it. [01:48] video is uploading at the moment [01:48] it's an Athlon 1700+ [01:49] nice, is the processor still there? [01:49] Yup. [01:49] thats worth putting together [01:49] * canthus13 will throw some ram in it and see what happens.. Should be able to boot a live CD. [01:49] true [01:53] yo Unit193PPC! [01:53] well hello Cheri703, just noticed you are here now [01:54] Ok everyone, here's a video of my fight with Ubuntu One [01:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEA5EX73mKg === zsircusr1 is now known as zsircusr2 === zsircusr2 is now known as Unit193PPC [01:58] I think I just found my calling! I think I'll start making Ubuntu video tutorials [01:58] so.. Ubuntu One is broken. what's new? [01:59] it has been working for a while now, and I decided to change my password like Cheri703 suggested last week so I wouldn't have to enter it after I logged in, so I went with a blank password as was suggested and now I can't connect at all [02:00] I'm referring to the stupid gnome keyring [02:00] ah. I use dropbox. it works just fine for me. [02:01] it's idiotic to have to log in once to start gnome then once for other stuff [02:01] dropbox doesn't support contact sync :-/ [02:02] I used dropbox for a couple days [02:03] Ah. Contact sync doesn't matter to me. I just need someplace to stash files that I need everywhere. [02:04] my contacts are my most important thing [02:05] I hate to lost my contacts on my phone [02:05] loss that is [02:05] lose I mean [02:05] dang [02:05] Heh. [02:05] I now what you mean [02:05] no [02:05] know, I mean [02:05] dang [02:05] ;-) [02:06] I drop my phone a lot, so I always sync my contacts via bluetooth incase my phone breaks [02:06] lol deejoe [02:07] I also get reminders of my family's birthdays so I don't look like the birthday grinch [02:08] anybody here like to sing karaoke? [02:09] Ew. [02:10] ok well know anyone that does? [02:10] Uh... no. [02:10] Well, my wife sometimes... if she's been drinking. [02:10] because I make karaoke disks on my computer. I think I'll make that my first Ubuntu/linux tutorial [02:11] :-) [02:11] we sing karaoke here a lot [02:11] my kids love karaoke [02:12] ugh, dealing with group project members makes me want a christmas ale... [02:12] but last night I had some and fell asleep at the keyboard [02:13] you drank too much dang man! ;-) [02:13] is it a Habitual process to leave and enter a room? [02:14] oh I guess you all got join/part off [02:15] dmcglone: You have to say that when he is here.... ;) [02:15] think I wouldn't? [02:15] you can turn join/part off? [02:15] in some IRC clients you can [02:15] I just close my eyes. [02:15] but sometimes, those are the only messages in here :) [02:16] true, we can be a bit on the quiet side [02:17] I love it when people have IRC seizures.... [02:18] hows that go? [02:19] when they go in and out a ton (quickly is better) [02:21] wouldn't they get kicked if they did that? [02:21] I guess not.... [02:22] I guess that was the AOL days... LOL [02:25] dmcglone: Do you go to all the U-Hour? [02:27] no Unit193 It's hard for me to make it and I'm not too fond of the location [02:27] panera? [02:28] yeah, but it's on OSU campus. too hard to access [02:28] What if we had *NINJAS*? [02:28] I'd be kickin someones but thats what! ;-) [02:28] then we wouldn't know it [02:29] Mmm... ninjas. yum. [02:29] my spelling is crappy tonight [02:33] Unit193 why the name change so often? [02:36] PPC? [02:36] PPC = pocket pc [02:36] Ah I see [02:42] LOL [02:42] EU Cell carriers want to force google to pay them to serve data [02:43] In other news, I will soon be asking my electric company to compensate me for the use of my extension cables. [02:43] huh? [02:43] how is that possible? [02:43] http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/12/european-carriers-hope-to-extract-wireless-fees-from-apple-google.ars [02:44] Ok that threw me for a loop. I have no clue how your gonna accomplish that [02:44] I have no idea either. :) [02:44] But if EU carriers can do it, I'm sure I can figure something out ;) [02:44] gotcha [02:45] I guess I'll make the cable companies compensate me for the channels I don't watch [02:45] Be sure to charge them for the electric your TV uses too [02:45] I mean it's only fair ;) [02:45] yup [02:46] Funny thing is ISP's make plunty of money, cell companies even more [02:46] and I'm gonna charge the electric company for each receptacle I have in my house that enables them to provide me service and still charge me [02:47] Good idea! [02:47] You should probably see about charging them for the time it takes you to watch TV too, since they're wasting your otherwise productive time >.> [02:47] I'll even charge them for the bulbs and lamps and ceiling fixtures [02:47] I swear these idiots make the MPAA/RIAA look san...less insane anyway [02:48] haha [02:48] Yeah, I have no sympathy for record companies, but negative sympathy for Cell providers >.> [02:49] I'm gonna charge the plumbing company for each gallon of perfectly good water my toliet wastes when flushing [02:49] lol [02:49] Make them buy you a new toilet [02:49] yeah an energy efficient toliet [02:49] LMAO [02:50] BTW am I the only one who fails to see why the KKK is allowed to use paypal/visa/mastercard but wikileaks is not? >.< [02:50] I still find that amazing [02:50] because PayPal doesn't discriminate....haha [02:51] BTW paypal exec was dumb enough to go talk to the news [02:51] He said "State Dept. contacted us, said it was illegal. so we took it down." [02:51] Since when is the State Dept. a courtroom? [02:51] when was having money illegal? [02:51] Apparently always heh [02:52] and doesn't paypal operate in other countries? [02:52] paypal is based in the US. [02:52] They're worldwide, based in the US [02:52] They're also a joke of a company so it doesn't suprise me [02:52] do they serve other countries? [02:52] i *HATE* .Net and visual studio... [02:53] Yes [02:53] they're still based in the US, therefore subject to US jurisdiction. [02:53] Only useful thing about paypal actually [02:53] I think it's making people *dumber* [02:53] thafreak: we hate M$ [02:53] yes, but especially visual studio [02:53] canthus13, If they were a responsible company they'd require a court order. It'd take all of an hour IF they actually could get a judge to sign off on it [02:54] hell Microsoft never could get C and C++ right anyway [02:54] I meet more "programmers" who think they can handle anything, and end up not actually knowing how to do anything that there isn't a button in visual studio for [02:54] lol [02:54] thafreak, True. [02:54] but they insist on using it [02:55] they don't insist, they twist your arm and FORCE you to use it [02:55] the ammount of time *I've* spent helping them figure out how to use their precious IDE, they could have learned python [02:55] On that topic, google's just as bad >.> [02:55] I hope your getting paid [02:55] nope for a friggin class [02:55] I tried to patch a bug in a f/oss android app, spent 3 hours and still couldn't get it working [02:55] my LAST class [02:55] BiosElement: do you use google? [02:55] dmcglone, Sure, all the time. [02:56] I haven't seen a google tool make people dumber though [02:56] I was wondering if you had a beef with them after that last statement [02:56] lazy maybe, but not dumber [02:56] what tools we referring to here? [02:56] dmcglone, Nah, just annoyed with their android dev system a bit [02:56] dmcglone, eclipse and their confusing as hell docs [02:57] but atleast their IDE doesn't give you the illusion you're better than you are :) [02:57] Oh. I gotta say I don't use any google tools [02:57] you have to *WORK* to be good with it :) [02:57] ahaha [02:57] not click click, look I'm a programmer... [02:57] click click look /me is a programmer [02:58] darn! [02:58] why doesn't that work in the middle of a sentence [02:58] haha, actually, try ubuntu "quickly" some time...almost click clic, look i'm a programmer :) [02:58] I know what I'm gonna do with that machine. I'm gonna throw Damn Vulnerable Linux on it. [02:58] stupid IRC programmers had to make my life complicated [02:58] ;-) [02:58] Then I'm gonna beat up on it. [02:59] canthus13: what machine? [02:59] ...but I need a mouse first. [02:59] thafreak: An old XP 1700+ with no hard drive. [02:59] canthus13: call billy the exterminator he'll get you a mouse [02:59] ;-) [02:59] haha, I have some of those :) [02:59] Heh. [03:00] XP 1700 ish's not mice [03:00] thafreak: I rescued it from being tossed out. [03:01] * canthus13 needs to go burn a copy of DVL to a DVD and boot it up. [03:01] I think I might toss mine out [03:01] * dmcglone has already tossed 2 out [03:01] I think the ata controller is bad on the mb... :/ [03:01] thafreak: toss the motherboard, strip it for parts. [03:02] ha! What am I going to do with an XP 1800+ cpu? No one makes MB's for it anymore! [03:02] And the ram is ECC...which most older boards didn't take [03:02] thafreak: I keeps the stuff around for repairs. [03:02] maybe...I need to reduce the number of machines running 24/7 in my basement [03:03] you should still be able to find a board for the 1800 [03:03] actually, I may have 2 :) [03:03] thafreak: nforce2 motherboards should work just fine for that processor. [03:03] have 2 other machines that won't power on, but ps tests good... [03:03] * canthus13 has 2 of 'em right now... a 1700+ and a 2000+ [03:04] I'm pretty sure the bus's on a newer mother board could handle the 1800 [03:04] I may have a duron 1100 too :) beat that [03:04] the bus, maybe.. but not the socket. [03:04] * canthus13 has a Duron 600 around somewhere. [03:04] damn [03:04] And a P3 500 Slot 1 [03:05] P2 450 slot 1 [03:05] Nice. :) [03:05] or 350 maybe [03:05] shouldn't the sockets all be the same anyhow? [03:05] no [03:05] from one manufacturer to another? [03:05] socket 7 for the duron and xp's yeah [03:06] Socket 7 procs won't fit in AM2/AM2+/AM3 sockets... [03:06] them are AMD [03:06] I should be paid just to start discussion in here [03:06] but Socket 7's are long gone anyhow aren't they? [03:06] newer processors typically add more pins, so won't run on motherboards that don't support the pinouts. [03:07] right, but isn't the 1800 pretty fairly new [03:07] dmcglone: No. it's a Socket 7 proc. [03:07] ah ok [03:07] AMD XP 1800+ [03:07] that explains it [03:08] even the newer barton based 2500 and 2800 were still socket 7 I think [03:08] What was funny is that the Slot 1 and Slot A processor slots were identical, just reversed from each other. [03:08] I should charge the DSL company for keeping them in business by keeping their bits and bytes moving [03:08] I've got atlest 2 of those too :) [03:09] canthus13: thats how they screw ya [03:09] they flip out on you and it cost money [03:09] :-) [03:09] dmcglone: Nah. Slot A was AMD, slot 1 was Intel. [03:10] but interchangeable nontheless [03:10] nope. [03:10] if they were the same [03:10] the sockets that is [03:10] the pinouts were different. they just used the same physical slot component, just oriented differently. [03:11] but if they matched up the pinouts and fixed the orientation they would be interchangeable right? [03:11] Nah. the Athlon and Pentium II/IIIs used completely different pinouts and pin functions. [03:11] you couldn't match the pinouts. [03:11] * dmcglone is gonna charge my wife for being her husband [03:12] ;-) [03:13] Ok I'm gonna move to the bedroom. I'll be back [03:19] back [03:19] welcome back dmcglone [03:20] There was just a story about Assange on the news [03:21] I didn't catch it all though [03:21] brb [03:24] hate it when the batteries go out on the wireless keyboard mid typing [03:24] I keep thinking my text editor is misbehaving [03:31] +1 thafreak [03:31] I always blame it on the OS freezing [03:32] which reminds me, my desktop running 10.10 has been locking up a lot [03:32] twice today [03:33] I suspect it has something to do with network config [03:34] Network Manager actually [03:35] and i just noticed a second ago, that my shares aren't showing on my laptop. I bet anything the desktop has frozen [03:36] sure enough: [03:36] david@lappy:~$ sudo mount www [03:36] [sudo] password for david: [03:36] mount: No route to host [03:36] what kind of shares? Just curious... [03:37] you sharing linux to linux? Or mixed OS env? [03:37] my Documents is fat32 and my www is ext3 [03:37] it's linux 2 linux, but windows is able to share the Documents too [03:38] but I never boot to windows [03:39] but are you sharing them with nfs, cifs, something else? [03:39] cifs [03:39] I'm using samba actually [03:39] ah ok...you using the built in stuff that is part of the gui, or did you manually configure samba? [03:40] I manually set up the shares [03:40] I just went down there and my hunch was correct, the desktop was locked up [03:40] had to do a hard reset [03:41] * thafreak is always thinking about re-organizing his file shares [03:41] how do you do it? [03:41] currently have a mix of glusterfs shares and nfs [03:41] it's a mess [03:41] 3 diff machines [03:42] 2 are part of a gluster storage cluster...the third actually has a VM doing nfs sharing...lol [03:42] I keep my Documents folder on my 2nd hard drive and I delete the one that is installed with Ubuntu and I symlink to the one on the other drive [03:43] I don't really use the folders that get pre-created...I don't create many "documents" either though... [03:43] then I save all my stuff in there and it's always accessible [03:43] I don't create many docs either, but I save all my stuff there [03:43] i do something similar, but I use unison, and sync all my machines to a central location (that's actually offsite too) [03:44] My mom lives here with me and she has 2 winblows machines so I make sure my stuff is accessible on hers just in case [03:44] but I have stuff I don't sync, that's really just used on individual machines...i dunno, I'm kind of a data slob...very unorganized [03:45] ah, that's always important! [03:45] yup [03:45] and we have 2 printers both of them networked so we will always be able to print [03:46] I'm usually out of ink, so I just print to her printer.. LOL [03:46] get a laser man [03:47] wish I could afford one [03:47] I don't print much, but I bought one like almost 3 years ago, and I still haven't replaced the toner that came with it [03:47] wow [03:47] afford one? The cost less than replacement ink [03:48] brother lasers, even networked ones are pretty cheap [03:48] toner isn't cheap is it? [03:48] how long does the ink last? [03:48] for me? [03:48] I think you can get an all in one with copying , network scanning, etc for around $250...probably under $200 now [03:48] we pprint a ton... [03:48] dunno, never had to buy toner :) [03:48] it last me a while. the reason I'm usually out is because I'm a cheapskate.. LOL [03:49] I think it's in the 10's of thousands of pages before you have to replace any toner [03:49] I believe it [03:49] if you print alot, toner is cheaper per page [03:49] well if you don't mind printing in grey scale [03:50] my friend owns a plumbing company and they have one, but trust me the toner isn't cheap [03:50] oh I'm sure it isn't, but you get like 50K pages compared to a few hundred on an ink cartride [03:50] and ink is RIDICULOUS expensive [03:50] thats true [03:51] actually the ink for my HP 6500 is pretty darn cheap [03:51] sure you only pay $20-$40 to replace ink, and maybe toner is like $100, but it will also last you like a year or two [03:51] we get it for $8 [03:51] per color? :) [03:52] my cannon was cheap like that, but it was per color...so it was still like $24 [03:52] crtrge [03:52] well that's not too bad [03:52] refill [03:52] where at Unit193PPC [03:53] I just know i *hate* printers, but especially inkjets...they never seem to work when I want them to [03:53] crtrge world [03:53] thafreak: my printer also uses 3 seperate ones for color [03:53] snack time :-) [03:53] I hate my hp printer [03:54] I want to get a laser, ideally a color laser, but $$$ [03:54] Cheri703 do you get refills? [03:55] color laser? why? [03:55] for the hp? I get reman'd cartridges [03:55] because I want color prints that are better quality than inkjet [03:55] they're a waste...cost too much, take forever to print...blah...it's not like they print good pictures or anything [03:55] not for photos [03:55] for other things [03:55] what's wrong with grey scale :) [03:55] and it depends on what color laser's you're using, some are REALLY good quality [03:56] if I'm printing brochures/business cards/flyers/whatever for my fledgling business, I'd rather print them at home than take them somewhere to be printed. I KNOW how much they're paying for prints, and paying 10+ times that is not so happy for me [03:57] bah, brocures... [03:57] :_ [03:57] :) [03:57] * Cheri703 definitely appreciates a good monochrome, but other people like shiny colors [03:57] I hate brocures...they just end up in the trash after I get the company's URL from them... [03:57] * Cheri703 does black and white film photography [03:57] if the company has no url, they go in the trash for good measure... [03:58] a lot of my target market is old people >.< [03:58] why Cheri703? [03:58] why what? [03:59] do you target older aged people [03:59] because they don't know how to use their computers [03:59] and for some reason little old people LOVE me [03:59] ok I see [04:00] not really sure why, but since I was younger, they think I'm wonderful when I help explain things to them. might as well make use of it :) [04:00] I thought you were speaking of your black and white film photography [04:00] I throw old people in the trash too...no URL [04:00] no, that's a hobby [04:00] ok, that was horrible [04:00] I thought I was missing some connection between that and old folks [04:00] lol [04:01] I have everything I need to set up a darkroom except for a space and chemicals [04:01] :( [04:01] * Cheri703 wants to have a darkroom [04:01] thafreak but a bit funny [04:01] Cheri703: turn out the lights [04:01] ;-) [04:01] not quite [04:02] so what my cousin did, paint the windows black [04:02] do [04:02] rental house with a total of 5 rooms, counting the bathroom, probalby not :) [04:02] *probably [04:03] my last statement lacked the sarcasm I intended [04:03] Whee. brasero won't install in Knoppix. K3b will, though. [04:03] my cousin is "weird" to put it nicely [04:03] brasero sucks anyway [04:04] I don't know how many CD-R's I've lost with brasero [04:04] haha, I haven't had any problems with brasero [04:04] I don't mind it for most stuff. Problem I'm having is that all burns fail on this machine.. Not sure if it's the drive or something with my install. [04:04] course I use wodim almost as frequently [04:04] http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101207/00504912153/associated-press-chairman-signs-up-righthaven-begins-suing-bloggers.shtml [04:05] Associated Press is a joke, but we already know that. >.> [04:05] * canthus13 is booting knoppix off of his mp3 player so he can test it.. unfortunately, knoppix doesn't come stuck with a CD burning program, and attempting to install brasero ends in unmet dependencies. [04:05] uh oh...burns failing are usualy a bad drive....course for me, it was abad sata controller I think [04:05] Wasn't AP the one that was going after people for quotes as short as 3 words? [04:06] sounds like the problem I have with my laptop [04:07] I need to figure it out quick. warranty on this laptop runs out in a couple of weeks. [04:08] canthus13: can you burn with k3b? [04:09] and hopefully your not using Memorex CD's [04:11] haha check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Continuos-printers-cartridge-pigment-Officejet/dp/B0033ZVPJY [04:11] looks like a blood bank [04:12] I would think that'd run into the expiration date issue that hp ink has [04:12] Bah. It appears to be the drive. [04:13] Well, time to reboot. [04:13] how can you tell? [04:15] I'm annoyed. I can't find a dang xp driver for this wireless card :( [04:16] What card? [04:16] whats the model # on the card? [04:16] broadcom bcm 94312hmg [04:18]
