My videos 720p are not smooth... [01:59] hy [01:59] how to I make phonon to recognize back an usb audio headset ? [02:00] I have a MS lifechat , worked when I plugged it yesterday , but now [02:00] phonon erase it [02:00] even alsamixer sees it [04:01] I installed kubuntu and ubuntu on separate partitions and one partition is common to both as home, now my boot menu entries are flooded, I want to clean it up but there is no /boot/grub/menu.lst file? Can anyone please tell me where is menu.lst file? [04:05] which version? [04:05] c2tarun: ^ [04:05] creich: how to check that? [04:05] creich: i mean u asking about grub or kubuntu? [04:05] kubuntu? [04:05] creich: maverick [04:08] what is in /etc/grub.d/? [04:08] $ ls /etc/grub.d/ [04:09] that is the new "menu.lst" [04:10] creich: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559778/\ [04:10] creich: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559778/ [04:11] and you just want to remove unused kernel entries [04:11] ? [04:11] just making sure I understand [04:12] creich: nope I want to use both the of ubuntu and kubuntu, but there are 8 entries in my menu, memtest and all. [04:12] creich: i just want to remove those entries, and at some point of time if i need them i can bring them back [04:12] the memtest ones? [04:12] ok [04:13] so then run $ sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ [04:14] then $ sudo update-grub [04:14] remember that kubuntu and ubuntu now use grub 2 [04:14] how would I change the passphase on my home folder that is encrypted? [04:14] creich: Ok, thanks :) i have one more problem, when i am trying to update ubuntu i am getting a message that waiting for jockeybinding to end? do this has anything to do with kubuntu? [04:15] what are you typing to update [04:15] creich: nothing, i was updating by update manager. [04:16] creich: my ubuntu and kubuntu share same drive as a home folder [04:18] I have to be honest I have no idea [04:18] I would try an update from command line [04:18] then see what happens [04:19] I dont believe it has anything to do with kubuntu [04:19] considering they are both on different partitions and package managers dont really touch you /home directories [04:19] if you want to try updating on the command line [04:20] then going back to package manager it may help [04:20] also make you can modify what goes on your bootup menu in GUI as well [04:21] go to System > Administration [04:21] and search for whatever you want to remove [04:21] creich: i tried to install build-essential from command line but after update only anything from my command line works, dont know why? [04:22] what was the command you used? [04:22] creich: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' [04:23] so now nothing on command-line works [04:23] errors? [04:23] creich: ya some errors like package not found and like that, i don't exactly remember them, I am in kubuntu right now [04:24] ok type $ sudo apt-get install build-essential now [04:24] or is it just error in the other ubuntu [04:24] creich: in kubuntu? [04:24] minus the now^ [04:24] yea [04:24] creich: ok [04:25] creich: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [04:27] $sudo apt-cache search build-essential [04:29] creich: one line definitions of build-essential, devscripts, dh-buildinfo, sbuild [04:29] so then its probably already on your system [04:30] when you try to install it there is no message explaining that its already on your system [04:30] creich: actually i did all these on kubuntu, but problem is with my ubuntu. [04:30] oh [04:30] hmm [04:31] I dont know honestly [04:31] creich: :| that's why i asked to do these in ubuntu or kubuntu :( [04:32] creich: :| that's why i asked to do these in ubuntu or kubuntu :( [04:32] well this is #kubuntu [04:32] so i think ppl will be mad if we troubleshoot ubuntu ha [04:33] creich: very sorry :( actually i use kubuntu only, the problem with jockeybinding and shared home folder, I thought that it might be due to kubuntu :) anyway thanks a lot. [04:33] its probably not. np [04:48] hello friends... i am using kde 4.6 on kubuntu 10.10 ... the problem is my desktop is moved on screen ... here are some screen shots http://imagebin.org/134952 http://imagebin.org/134953 [04:48] what can be the reason?

[10:26] yes [10:27] they're all vid files [10:27] very easy :) [10:27] Elssha: use rename, read man rename [10:27] highlight all... then hit F2 === me is now known as Guest41044 [10:27] you then get the option to tayler make the file names... [10:28] add where the progressive number goes etc. [10:28] F2 nothing happened [10:28] that's the problem, the numbers aren't progressive [10:28] one sec [10:28] Elssha: You are using what distro? [10:29] ubuntu [10:29] Elssha: open a terminal, and use "rename" [10:29] ... [10:29] well [10:29] Elssha: K, this works in Dolphin, maybe not in Nautilus [10:29] 10.04 to be exact [10:29] Elssha: you can read "man rename" it is the fastest and easiest way [10:29] okay [10:30] i'll try [10:30] Elssha: this is called name expansion or something like that [10:30] Elssha: for file in *.* ;do ffmpeg -i "$file" -ab 128k "${file%.*}".mp3 ; done [10:30] Elssha: this convert all [10:30] on mp3 files [10:30] peace [10:30] Peace-: why don't you just use rename?

[10:31] some have a diff name after the first _ [10:31] Peace-: do they all start with Pathology? do they all have Sanchez? [10:32] sorry, it was meant for Elssha [10:32] all start with Pathology, not all have sanchez (one of three or four though, so i can run 4 things fine) then all have Ch#letter and the name of the section [10:33] Elssha: wait i will try [10:34] Elssha: do a backup first [10:34] so Pathology_[1 of 3 names]_Ch[#letter]_[name].mpg [10:34] i'll do a test folder, there's like 33gigs of them >_> [10:35] sorry i have no time right now [10:35] maybe after 12.00 [10:35] no worries peace [10:35] Elssha: try rename 's/Pathology_*_Ch/Path_Ch//' *.mpg [10:35] but you can do with bash expansion [10:36] Elssha: in the folder, but only after having done a backup [10:36] idk bash at all [10:36] backing up now [10:36] Elssha: idk???? [10:36] i don't know [10:36] Elssha: sorry, I put too many / [10:36] Elssha: try rename 's/Pathology_*_Ch/Path_Ch/' *.mpg [10:37] wait, that won't work, where does the actual name go [10:37] Elssha: the ' are important, do not forget them [10:37] Elssha: rename takes a regex [10:37] so Pathology_[1 of 3 names]_Ch[#letter]_[filename].mpg [10:38] Elssha: 's/Pathology_*_Ch/Path_Ch/' is a regex [10:38] the [filename] part [10:38] Elssha: substitutes Pathology_whatever_Ch with Path_Ch in the file name of all files with extension mpg [10:43] i did rename 's/Pathology_*_Ch/Path_Ch/' *.mpg nothing happened [10:43] rename 's/Pathology_*_Ch/ Path_Ch/' *.mpg [10:45] Elssha: I have just done on mine, it definitively works [10:46] the one i posted up top? [10:47] Elssha: well, I changed the keywords and renominated all of the video files on my computer, and then back (withut backup ;) ....) [10:47] Elssha: and it works [10:47] i'll try again [10:47] Elssha: you left one space too many! [10:48] Elssha: there is a space between the / and Path [10:49] Elssha: and there should not be one [10:50] rename 's/Pathology_*_Ch/Path_Ch/' *.mpg [10:50] ran that [10:50] still nothing [10:51] here are the filenames in the test folder Pathology_Sanchez_Ch08a_Definition.mpg [10:51] Pathology_Sanchez_Ch08b_SysTypesAmyloid.mpg [10:51] Pathology_Sanchez_Ch08c_LocalTypesAmyloid.mpg [10:51] Pathology_Sanchez_Ch08d_ClinicalFeatures.mpg [10:51] Pathology_Sanchez_Ch09a_Definition.mpg [10:51] Elssha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:54] Elssha: you're using a perl regular expression, * isn't a wildcard but mean 'zero or more repetitions of the previous character' use `.*` instead: `rename 's/Pathology_.*_Ch/Path_Ch/' *.mpg` [10:54] . = any character [10:54] that worked! [10:57] Elssha: using .* is potentialy dangerous though, as it will find the longest possible string e.g. Pathology_Sanchez_Ch09b_Characters would be renamed to Pathology_Characters (I always remember that stuff right after sending the command) [10:58] yeah, it did that to a couple [10:58] but i did ls before doing it so i can re input the ch #'s [10:58] ^_^ [10:58] Elssha: yes you are right, it does not work on your filenames, I wonder why [10:59] Elssha: it works on mine [10:59] no clue [10:59] but rork solved it so all is good ^_^ [11:00] each folder (6) has a slight var so i gotta run it a couple more times after i fix the couple errors (the one rork mentioned above) [11:00] Elssha: try rename 's/Pathology_.*_C/Pat_C/' *mpg [11:00] Elssha: sorry, rename 's/Pathology_.*_C/Path_C/' *mpg [11:00] Elssha: is the chapter number standard? You can use rename [11:00] there are a bit too many regex to my taste [11:01] `rename 's/Pathology_Ch\d\d\w_C/Path_C/' *.mpg` [11:02] \d = numeric, \w = alphanumeric [11:02] rork: it does have a name in the middle, of variable length, hence the need for the .* [11:02] * rork needs coffee [11:03] rork: so 's/Pathology_.*_Ch/Path_c' *.mpg :-D [11:03] rork: me too :-D [11:03] rork: (did not put the .) [11:03] path done [11:03] on to micro (needs to check what those look like) [11:04] meh, micro can stay [11:05] whoever named these was annoying [11:05] there's a file named micro_ch03b_2_name [11:05] -_-; [11:05] why not just 03c [11:05] anyway, thanks for the help here ^_^ [11:06] Elssha: np [11:06] i'm useless in commandline that's beyond the nice short basic things like cd >_> [11:06] just curious [11:06] Elssha: man and google are your friend there [11:06] yeah [11:06] but i can't always understand man >_< [11:06] you're welcome, I can also suggest [^_]* instead of .*, that will just match zero or more none underscores [11:07] now to ssh all these into my touch >_> [11:09] oh, if i wanted to rename say path_something to pathology_something else it'd just be rename path_*/pathology_* [11:09] Elssha: did you know krename? [11:09] no clue what that is [11:10] i am on ubuntu though >_> [11:10] but the channel won't let me join for some reason [11:11] Elssha: maybe because the are rules..

[11:33] geekosopher: you might like to see if google cache serves [11:33] Tm_T: good idea [11:35] (on kubuntu 1004 lts 64 bit) [11:40] will maverick get backport love when 4.6 gets monthly updates? [11:40] (no pun intended) [11:40] geekosopher: no, backports will be only bugfix releases [11:41] geekosopher: but PPA is another story [11:41] Tm_T: sorry, yes I was referring to ppa/backports [11:41] I would expect that to happen [11:42] I am using kubuntu distribution, I have both gvim and vim(which runs on console) installed.

[11:43] talespin_kit: you can use Kate too, it has vim mode [11:43] talespin_kit: but IIRC the difference is mostly just GUI [11:44] talespin_kit: kate is pretty good, have you tried it?

[11:49] ct529: i all try one day, right now i want to master vim and emacs for some time. [11:50] talespin_kit: then I suggest you stick to the text mode [11:50] why? what advantage it has over gui? [11:51] talespin_kit: I though you sayd you wanted to master vim .... sorry, misunderstood [11:51] my question ahs to be either too intelligent of too dumb since it gets consistently ignored, I wonder which one it is... [11:52] thecaptain2000: could be that noone who is active just now knows the answer [11:53] thecaptain2000: the reason it that it depends on your system setup [11:53] thecaptain2000: so there is no answer to yur question [11:53] thecaptain2000: but google is your friend [11:53] Tm_T: it could possibly be [11:53] thecaptain2000: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/openssh-deny-or-restrict-access-to-users-and-groups.html [11:55] I did google for it but I did not find that page, I apreciate it could be dependent upon my configuration but the fact that I could not either ftp or ssh into that system made me suspicious it was a founfamental misunderstanding from my part of what it's going on [11:55] thecaptain2000: could it be firewall'd?
