[05:13] <kaushal> hi
[05:13] <kaushal> Any way to set as "away" in pidgin when i lock the screen in Ubuntu Desktop 10.10.
[05:26] <kaushal> Thanks anyways
[05:26] <kaushal> fixed it
[05:27] <kaushal> http://costela.net/projects/awayonlock/
[05:37] <kaushal> Any connection optimizer available in Ubuntu for playing YouTube Videos
[05:37] <kaushal> YouTube Videos always stalls and starts again intermittently
[05:37] <nisshh> kaushal, connection optimizer?
[05:37] <kaushal> nisshh: hi
[05:37] <nisshh> hey
[05:38] <nisshh> kaushal, flash is known for being troublesome on linux
[05:38] <kaushal> nisshh: yeah
[05:38] <kaushal> Actually someone suggested to use htkl5
[05:38] <kaushal> html5*
[05:38] <nisshh> yeah
[05:38] <kaushal> I am on Ubuntu 10.10 64 Bit Firefox
[05:39] <nisshh> its not widespread enough for most people to use yet, youtube doesnt have all its videos in html5 format yet
[05:39] <kaushal> yes
[05:39] <nisshh> ah 64bit
[05:39] <nisshh> 64bit flash is known to be crap
[05:39] <nisshh> people always have problems with it
[05:39] <nisshh> because adobe are lazy about 64bit lunix support
[05:39] <kaushal> yes
[05:40] <kaushal> nisshh: any workaround for playing YouTube Videos on Firefox ?
[05:41] <nisshh> kaushal, hmm, html5 is your best bet, tbh, although there is an application that lets you download the video first and then play it, but a recent youtube update broke support for it
[05:41] <nisshh> kaushal, have you tried other browsers? (chromium, opera, epiphany)
[05:43] <kaushal> nisshh: ok
[05:44] <nisshh> kaushal, if it doesnt happen in them, it may well be firefox
[05:44] <kaushal> sure
[06:40] <sagaci> sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
[06:41] <nisshh> sagaci, thats the one, but a youtube update broke it
[06:42] <sagaci> nisshh: how long ago
[06:42] <sagaci> i use it a week or so ago
[06:43] <nisshh> sagaci, like 2-3 days ago
[06:44] <nisshh> sagaci, apparently the developer fixed it so you can download and play them, but seeking is still broken
[06:51] <sagaci> yeah that's right
[06:52] <sagaci> you just have to rebuild the indexes
[06:52] <sagaci> i do it via vlc
[06:52] <nisshh> ah ok
[09:17] <head_victim> nisshh: I've had a bit of luck with 64 bit flash, google "flash 10 squared" which I think is their beta
[09:17]  * nisshh googles
[09:18] <head_victim> I haven't used it for too long but it's been going ok for me
[09:18] <nisshh> hmm
[09:19] <nisshh> head_victim, seems to just be flash with some run-time encoding enhancements, am i right?
[09:19] <head_victim> No idea to be honest :D
[09:19] <nisshh> hehe
[09:19] <head_victim> You know me, end user only. 
[09:19]  * nisshh jumps out of technical mode
[09:20] <nisshh> yeah :)
[09:20] <head_victim> Supposedly native 64bit though
[09:20] <nisshh> yeah
[09:44] <elky> I don't think there's been a special process for installing flash on 64bit for quite a while
[09:44] <nisshh> yeah
[09:45] <nisshh> elky, its just still really buggy i think
[09:45] <nisshh> for some people anyway
[09:45] <elky> I've had a 64bit laptop for almost 2 years and never had flash issues
[09:45] <nisshh> yeah
[09:46] <nisshh> its interesting how some people never have issues and yet some people have issues the second they start using it
[09:47] <elky> you will have issues if you install both the adobe player and gnash. that seems to be the biggest problem i come across; people trying to preemptively fix what isn't broken
[09:49] <nisshh> yeah
[13:28] <jfer> What is the latest on those classroom sessions?
[13:29] <nisshh> jfer, the ones i was organising?
[13:29] <jfer> yes
[13:29] <nisshh> hehe
[13:29] <nisshh> they are still happening
[13:30] <nisshh> but i have no date set yet
[13:30] <nisshh> i have been sorting out a lot of other stuff recently, so havent had the time
[13:30] <jfer> oh ok
[13:30] <nisshh> but if i dont go on holiday on the 20th, it might be sometime around christmas
[13:31] <nisshh> otherwise, it will be in january next year
[13:31] <nisshh> jfer, there is a team meeting tomorrow night, are you coming?
[13:31] <jfer> sounds good. i have been taking part in Daniel Holbach's videocasts
[13:31] <jfer> yer i should be at tomorrow nights meeting
[13:32] <nisshh> i see
[13:32] <nisshh> jfer, i promise i will hold the sessions, i just dont know when :)
[13:33] <nisshh> jfer, at the meeting tomorrow night i will ask around and see if i can russel up some attendance and interest
[13:33] <nisshh> i see no point in running a session with 3 people attending, tbh
[13:33] <jfer> agreed
[13:34] <nisshh> jfer, that reminds me, i might add a topic for the meeting about choosing a topic for the first session :)
[13:34] <nisshh> if that makes sense :)
