| silverlightning | I totally ruined the system | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| silverlightning | trying to make vlc main media player I installed firefox, and lots of packages, plugins from package mangager | 00:23 |
| silverlightning | now browsers crash on every flash stream it sees | 00:24 |
| silverlightning | litterally cannot open a page with a streaming video | 00:24 |
| silverlightning | package manager is not to be played around with, | 00:25 |
| silverlightning | package shopping is not safe lol | 00:25 |
| silverlightning | hi | 00:26 |
| silverlightning | will removing packages clean up the system again? | 00:30 |

| silverlightning | hi | 10:36 |
| silverlightning | I have lubuntu installed, and I am wondering what kind of gnome applications are on the system? | 10:39 |
| silverlightning | I noticed gnome media player, but desktop environment are something else I think | 10:39 |
| wolfpack | silverlightning: Desktop environment is LXDE | 10:40 |
| silverlightning | and there's really no need to worry about gnome extra packages for this and that? | 10:41 |
| silverlightning | I am only thinking of the gnome media player really | 10:41 |
| silverlightning | I read that it sort of works together with VLC which I downloaded | 10:42 |
| silverlightning | is there a way to check that all drivers and restriced extra are downloaded? | 10:43 |
| silverlightning | when I play a bought DVD in VLC there is no sound | 10:46 |
| silverlightning | it plays fine, everything seem all right except sound | 10:46 |
| silverlightning | in gonme player I get this message Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:48 |
| silverlightning | gnome plays the film/DVD, but the message keeps popping up? | 10:49 |
| silverlightning | any idea what it might be? | 10:49 |
| bioterror | sure | 10:50 |
| wolfpack | This is easily fixed. The issue is caused by Gnome Mplayer attempting to use the default VDPAU, which does not exists. To remove the message, launch Gnome Mplayer, select Edit->Preference. Enter xv into the video output and press close. This tells it to use xv instead of the default vdpau. | 10:50 |
| bioterror | vdpau is a library that makes the player use your GPU for decoding of the media | 10:50 |
| bioterror | so you dont have to use your CPU for decoding a 1080p movie | 10:50 |
| silverlightning | I see | 10:51 |
| silverlightning | and it is the recommended option ? | 10:51 |
| === Freejack is now known as Guest56070 | ||
| silverlightning | thanks | 10:53 |
| silverlightning | weird, now gnome player is frozen | 10:54 |
| silverlightning | with a strange sound in my computer too | 10:55 |
| silverlightning | shoot, it really is stuck | 10:56 |
| bioterror | what did you learn yesterday? | 10:57 |
| wolfpack | silverlightning: It works fine for me | 10:57 |
| silverlightning | Gnome player is gone, but there is a halt in the system | 10:57 |
| silverlightning | I ran killall | 10:57 |
| bioterror | good | 10:57 |
| bioterror | and then you also ran top | 10:57 |
| silverlightning | but there is this persistant bz-bz-bz sound like stuck | 10:58 |
| silverlightning | I have to restart | 10:58 |
| bioterror | are you using windows? :D | 10:58 |
| silverlightning | I took the DVD out | 10:58 |
| silverlightning | lubuntu | 10:58 |
| silverlightning | no windows on the harddrive | 10:58 |
| bioterror | what's the urge for restart then? :D | 10:58 |
| silverlightning | the weird sound | 10:59 |
| bioterror | why not first try to find if there's something hanging in the processes and try to get rid of it | 10:59 |
| bioterror | if it happens again, you can examine it a little more | 10:59 |
| silverlightning | is there a command in terminal that shows processes? | 11:00 |
| bioterror | many :D | 11:00 |
| bioterror | ps aux |less | 11:00 |
| bioterror | for example | 11:00 |
| silverlightning | I never had this stuck sound before | 11:00 |
| silverlightning | oot 1 0.0 0.1 2884 1692 ? Ss 11:17 0:01 /sbin/init | 11:02 |
| silverlightning | only thing showing any numbers | 11:02 |
| silverlightning | should start with root really | 11:02 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 11:03 |
| silverlightning | I have no sound in VLC | 11:05 |
| silverlightning | brb, reboot | 11:05 |
| silverlightning | did the setting in Gnome player affect VLC in way, no sound? | 11:09 |
| silverlightning | reboot helped with the hangup | 11:09 |
| silverlightning | there's no sound in adobe flash player either, streaming youtube videos | 11:12 |
| silverlightning | I need a sound plugin on driver | 11:12 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 11:12 |
| silverlightning | lubuntu is very good at managing the cooling fan | 11:13 |
| bioterror | that's becouse of cpufreq has been set on "ondemand" | 11:13 |
| silverlightning | it never worked properly in earlier versions of ubuntu, | 11:14 |
| silverlightning | I see | 11:14 |
| silverlightning | it works fine in Maverick too | 11:14 |
| silverlightning | it's cold today -2,2 C | 11:15 |
| bioterror | raelly | 11:15 |
| bioterror | when I started my car, the saab information display said "-28C" | 11:16 |
| bioterror | and I made a cold start for the diesel engine, ahahahaha | 11:16 |
| silverlightning | that is more like continental temperatures | 11:16 |
| silverlightning | I am by the coast | 11:16 |
| silverlightning | I can imagine lol | 11:16 |
| silverlightning | I have a lighter to open my bicycle lock | 11:17 |
| silverlightning | it freezes | 11:17 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 11:17 |
| bioterror | my crescents lock is okay | 11:17 |
| silverlightning | no, I cannot find anything for VLC sound | 11:17 |
| silverlightning | is it key or code? | 11:17 |
| bioterror | key | 11:17 |
| silverlightning | mine is key too | 11:17 |
| bioterror | as I keep it outside | 11:17 |
| silverlightning | I need to oil it more perhaps, but I did two weeks ago or so | 11:18 |
| bioterror | as I have not ride my "real bikes" on winter conditions, I cannot say how the Kryptonice u-locks will handle | 11:18 |
| silverlightning | it is the shifting rain frost rain frost that makes it freeze I think | 11:18 |
| silverlightning | bikes can be trouble in winter, frozen gears, ice in the wires... | 11:19 |
| bioterror | yeah, gears | 11:19 |
| bioterror | those derailers are frozen on my "winterbike" | 11:19 |
| bioterror | but I prefer fixies, so no problems with gears :D | 11:20 |
| bioterror | one os per computer, and one gear on bikes | 11:20 |
| bioterror | one thing for certain tasks | 11:20 |
| silverlightning | single speed | 11:20 |
| bioterror | yes | 11:20 |
| silverlightning | I like the old gear hubs, if the wires are oiled and water free, they shift no matter what | 11:20 |
| silverlightning | the new 7 and 8 do not however | 11:21 |
| bioterror | silverlightning, http://bicycletutor.com/no-wd40-bike-chain/ | 11:21 |
| silverlightning | real racer gears are not for winter at all | 11:21 |
| silverlightning | no DW-40 lol | 11:22 |
| bioterror | vaseline <3 | 11:22 |
| silverlightning | my network is slow | 11:22 |
| silverlightning | there is very light spray box teflon oil that works, but you have to oil constantly | 11:24 |
| silverlightning | I can't play the no-WD40 video bioterror? | 11:27 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 11:27 |
| bioterror | really? | 11:27 |
| silverlightning | I get problem, bla bla may have been deleted or error with player | 11:27 |
| bioterror | hmm | 11:27 |
| silverlightning | something is up with packages or drivers, | 11:29 |
| silverlightning | I shall have to do a package manager search | 11:29 |
| silverlightning | when lubuntu runs all smooth, I shall be happy | 11:31 |
| silverlightning | messed up last night | 11:31 |
| silverlightning | added to much gruff from package manager | 11:31 |
| silverlightning | had to take off a lot of packages and then reinstall others | 11:32 |
| silverlightning | I made the browsers crash instantly when they hit a page with flash player stuff | 11:33 |
| silverlightning | I though I was clever playing around with java based plugins and extras but it was a mistake | 11:33 |
| silverlightning | maybe I shall use default settings in gone, anything else might affect vlc | 11:35 |
| bioterror | are you using firefox or chromium or what | 11:35 |
| silverlightning | I have both, | 11:35 |
| silverlightning | but firefox now | 11:35 |
| silverlightning | I need a brake from this computer mess | 11:37 |
| silverlightning | see you later perhaps | 11:37 |
| silverlightning | so no install of puppy ? | 11:38 |
| bioterror | ? | 11:38 |
| bioterror | what about puppy? | 11:38 |
| silverlightning | I was thinking of installing puppy as dual boot | 11:38 |
| silverlightning | but lubuntu seems to run very nicely, at least when I get everything running | 11:39 |
| silverlightning | puppy are suppose to be super light distro | 11:39 |
| silverlightning | I have to live with lubuntu for a few weeks as only distro, no windows | 11:40 |
| bioterror | that will make you stronger | 11:41 |
| bioterror | using GNU/Linux is just a state of mind | 11:41 |
| silverlightning | I have the Abi word processor, but I cannot find line space 1 ½ | 11:42 |
| NRWlion | thats why i changed to openoffice until I am familiar with LaTex | 11:43 |
| silverlightning | I have used open office | 11:45 |
| silverlightning | but there I had issues with the "" key | 11:45 |
| bioterror | that's why I changed to LibreOFfice | 11:45 |
| bioterror | :D | 11:45 |
| silverlightning | and I cannot find bookman antiqa in any of them, but not that important | 11:46 |
| silverlightning | it runs in lubuntu? | 11:46 |
| NRWlion | what is Libreoffice? | 11:48 |
| silverlightning | how does a weak video card affect the computer system? | 11:48 |
| silverlightning | only video and grafics? | 11:49 |
| NRWlion | bioterror, what is different between openoffice and libreoffice? can you help me out? did a quick search on google but wasnt able to find big differences | 11:51 |
| silverlightning | I have to do some ssearch with my sound/flash player trouble | 11:51 |
| bioterror | OpenOffice is Oracle's and Oracle is bad | 11:51 |
| bioterror | LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and it is good | 11:51 |
| bioterror | almost same thing, but the difference is that Oracle is BAD | 11:51 |
| bioterror | BAD BAD BAD BAD | 11:51 |
| silverlightning | what is oracle? | 11:52 |
| silverlightning | foggy messages from beyond ? | 11:52 |
| bioterror | :D | 11:52 |
| NRWlion | is libreoffice also working with odt? | 11:52 |
| bioterror | oracle is a database corporation which purchased Sun Microsystems few years ago | 11:52 |
| bioterror | NRWlion, da | 11:52 |
| bioterror | most of the OpenOFfice developers decided to leave OpenOffice and they got this fork, LibreOffice | 11:53 |
| silverlightning | I didn't know | 11:53 |
| * NRWlion runs a search on synaptic | 11:53 | |
| bioterror | in a fact, I have not repaired any Sun Microsystem server's since Oracle purchased Sun | 11:53 |
| bioterror | so I have also some anger against Oracle | 11:53 |
| silverlightning | so no libre office in package manager | 11:53 |
| bioterror | silverlightning, that's coming | 11:53 |
| bioterror | you have to use PPA | 11:54 |
| silverlightning | I might dare dowload from their site? | 11:54 |
| bioterror | use PPA | 11:54 |
| JoeMaverickSett | https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa | 11:54 |
| JoeMaverickSett | PPA!! :D | 11:54 |
| silverlightning | by Matthias Klose | 11:55 |
| silverlightning | which one of the download versions for lubuntu? | 11:56 |
| NRWlion | ok synaptic is not providing a download | 11:56 |
| JoeMaverickSett | just do; "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice" shall do it, i _think_ :D | 11:57 |
| silverlightning | you are no leading me out on the deep end of linux waters now? | 11:58 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i beg your pardon? | 11:58 |
| NRWlion | i think i will stay with OO until i found out how to create own shortcuts in the menu | 11:58 |
| NRWlion | ^^ | 11:58 |
| NRWlion | but i will keep that one in mind | 11:58 |
| JoeMaverickSett | NRWlion: just replace the Exec of OO.desktop files in /usr/share/applications to libreoffice ;) | 11:59 |
| silverlightning | nothing happened in terminal | 11:59 |
| NRWlion | sorry cant follow | 11:59 |
| NRWlion | :( | 11:59 |
| NRWlion | and will have to get back to my project to be done by the end of the day :( | 12:00 |
| silverlightning | the guys here are linux top league | 12:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | NRWlion: well, the shorcuts made in the menus are kept int /usr/share/applications in form of .desktop files. | 12:00 |
| silverlightning | I am sort of pre school lol | 12:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | NRWlion: if you open them up there is a line Exec (the command to open a program) | 12:00 |
| silverlightning | well, grammar school | 12:01 |
| NRWlion | silverlightning, so am I *laugh* so do not worry ^^ | 12:01 |
| NRWlion | roger that ^^ | 12:01 |
| * JoeMaverickSett never attended grammar school! :D | 12:01 | |
| silverlightning | I have fiddled with ubuntu for a couple of years now | 12:01 |
| silverlightning | I am afraid to mess up like I did yesterday | 12:02 |
| silverlightning | I had to remove a lot of stuff and reinstall packages again | 12:03 |
| silverlightning | major hassle | 12:03 |
| NRWlion | that is why i am not going to try what JoeMaverickSett just mentioned :D | 12:03 |
| silverlightning | lol | 12:03 |
| JoeMaverickSett | NRWlion: i thought messing up and fixing is alot fun :D | 12:03 |
| JoeMaverickSett | well, time to go do some stuff | 12:03 |
| NRWlion | JoeMaverickSett, yeeah if you have the time :D | 12:03 |
| * JoeMaverickSett will not persuade to tinker your system if you don't have time. | 12:04 | |
| silverlightning | I tend to panic when things freeze up or worse will not boot up | 12:05 |

| MrChrisDruif | Hai ActionParsnip | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | is there a how to for replacing openbox with compiz to test CPU use | 14:43 |
| silverlightning | hi | 14:43 |
| silverlightning | anyone with idea on how to fix sound in either vlc or gnome player? | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | silverlightning: do you get any sounds? | 14:44 |
| silverlightning | no | 14:45 |
| silverlightning | at first I had sound in gnome player playing a DVD, but gone now, | 14:45 |
| silverlightning | vlc never had sound | 14:45 |
| silverlightning | sound in youtube is gone too | 14:45 |
| silverlightning | ?? | 14:45 |
| silverlightning | does in make sense? | 14:46 |
| silverlightning | I think I have downloaded all restricted packages, and video stuff | 14:46 |
| silverlightning | and I added vlc because it usually performs great | 14:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | Is there already a lubuntu-restricted-extras package? | 14:47 |
| silverlightning | I have been googeling, searching in package manager, | 14:47 |
| silverlightning | yes | 14:47 |
| silverlightning | mrchrisdruif, I found them in package manager | 14:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright, that's awesome :) | 14:48 |
| silverlightning | but you have to fix the settings under repositories and mark off for restricted stuff | 14:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | (Still need to burn the disk <_<") | 14:48 |
| silverlightning | oh I see | 14:48 |
| silverlightning | pretty easy that too | 14:49 |
| silverlightning | you have to install on harddisk to be able to activate the packages | 14:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've got 10.10 downloaded....but still need to burn it to disk... | 14:49 |
| silverlightning | mrchrisdruif, having problem? | 14:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | Maybe wait for 11.04....only 64 days away :P | 14:50 |
| silverlightning | 10.10 was too big for my machine | 14:50 |
| silverlightning | no reason lol | 14:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | No problems...running Ubuntu 64-bit with ease.... | 14:50 |
| silverlightning | you update to 11.04 when the time comes | 14:51 |
| silverlightning | I have a small light laptop, can't take Maverick | 14:51 |
| silverlightning | I have to get a new laptop | 14:51 |
| silverlightning | why bother with lubuntu then? | 14:51 |
| silverlightning | ActionParsnip, did you have any problem with sound? | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MrChrisDruif: there is a lubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | silverlightning: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | silverlightning: always been flawless | 14:53 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 14:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | silverlightning: Wanna switch my heavy and -duty lappy for a netty :P | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | silverlightning: only issue i've had in natty was compiz being a pain, lubuntu was fine :) | 14:54 |
| MrChrisDruif | Or even better/worse; a taaby | 14:55 |

| silverlightning | is there a pulsaudio package in package manager? | 14:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | Probably... | 14:56 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 14:56 |
| silverlightning | I seem to have libasound2 plugins | 14:58 |
| silverlightning | libpulse0 | 14:59 |
| silverlightning | and vlc pulse pluggin | 14:59 |
| silverlightning | hi wolfpack | 15:08 |
| silverlightning | do you have any idea about audio problems? | 15:08 |
| silverlightning | I have no sound in VLC, gnome player, playing a DVD, nor youtube adobe flash video | 15:09 |
| silverlightning | any idea? | 15:09 |
| silverlightning | something has happened | 15:11 |
| bioterror | check alsamixer | 15:12 |
| wolfpack | hi silverlightning , I did not have any sound problem till now. So I cannot help you :( | 15:13 |
| silverlightning | nothing like that in package manager | 15:14 |
| silverlightning | bioterror, how do I put back the default setting in gnome player? | 15:14 |
| silverlightning | I suspect that might be an issue | 15:15 |
| bioterror | check alsamixer | 15:15 |
| bioterror | is there anything muted | 15:15 |
| silverlightning | I have marked off for the changes I did under preferances | 15:16 |
| silverlightning | I can't find any alsmixer, but I have the package marked off in synaptic | 15:17 |
| bioterror | sad157@dopehtrone:~% which alsamixer .:17:17:39 on 11-02-23:. | 15:17 |
| bioterror | /usr/bin/alsamixer | 15:17 |
| bioterror | look at that | 15:17 |
| silverlightning | where? | 15:19 |
| silverlightning | ...how | 15:20 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard#Directory_structure | 15:21 |
| bioterror | /usr/bin/ | 15:22 |
| bioterror | Non-essential command binaries (not needed in single user mode); for all users. | 15:22 |
| bioterror | can you just execute the alsamixer and check if there's something muted like PCM, MASTER OR FRONT | 15:23 |
| bioterror | OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED | 15:24 |
| silverlightning | how do I access /usr/bin/alsamixer | 15:28 |
| silverlightning | from filemanager? | 15:28 |
| silverlightning | I have found a sprocket named alsamixer | 15:29 |
| silverlightning | it's difficult | 15:30 |
| silverlightning | hmmm | 15:30 |
| silverlightning | I must be in the wrong place | 15:31 |
| mark76 | Open a terminal and type alsamixer | 16:16 |

| silverlightning | hi | 20:32 |
| silverlightning | is there anyone who has had trouble with booting up to a white screen? | 20:33 |
| silverlightning | has anyone tried the old nvidia-glx packages in lubuntu? | 20:55 |
| silverlightning | appearently I have a ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M], that cause my computer to boot up in a white screen? | 20:57 |
| * NRWlion not | 20:57 | |
| silverlightning | not what? | 20:57 |
| NRWlion | i havent tried ^^ | 20:57 |
| silverlightning | the packages are listed as transitional in synaptic manager | 20:57 |
| silverlightning | I see | 20:57 |
| silverlightning | so the chances of mucking up every thing is slim or high if I install? | 20:58 |
| silverlightning | I might migrate to slack ware, fedora, or other hats | 21:03 |
