[00:22] <silverlightning> I totally ruined the system
[00:23] <silverlightning> trying to make vlc main media player I installed firefox, and lots of packages, plugins from package mangager
[00:24] <silverlightning> now browsers crash on every flash stream it sees
[00:24] <silverlightning> litterally cannot open a page with a streaming video
[00:25] <silverlightning> package manager is not to be played around with,
[00:25] <silverlightning> package shopping is not safe lol
[00:26] <silverlightning> hi
[00:30] <silverlightning> will removing packages clean up the system again?
[05:17] <Rayson> Can someone tell me how to configure LXDE so that it autostarts x11vnc server without requireing a user to log on?
[05:24] <bioterror> hmm

[07:51] <bioterror> freenode is broken
[07:51] <jmarsden> bioterror: DragonEyes is asleep on phillw's laptop and there is no ubotu or dpkg bot in #lubuntu ... Freenode is working as designed.
[07:51] <bioterror> designed to split

[07:51] <jmarsden> designed to recover from splits, sure :)
[10:36] <silverlightning> hi
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <wolfpack> silverlightning: Desktop environment is LXDE
[10:41] <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
[10:42] <silverlightning> I read that it sort of works together with VLC which I downloaded
[10:43] <silverlightning> is there a way to check that all drivers and restriced extra are downloaded?
[10:46] <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
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <silverlightning> gnome plays the film/DVD, but the message keeps popping up?
[10:49] <silverlightning> any idea what it might be?
[10:50] <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
[10:51] <silverlightning> I see
[10:51] <silverlightning> and it is the recommended option ?
[10:53] <silverlightning> thanks
[10:54] <silverlightning> weird, now gnome player  is frozen
[10:55] <silverlightning> with a strange sound in my computer too
[10:56] <silverlightning> shoot, it really is stuck
[10:57] <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
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <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
[11:00] <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
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <silverlightning> hmm
[11:05] <silverlightning> I have no sound in VLC
[11:05] <silverlightning> brb, reboot
[11:09] <silverlightning> did the setting in Gnome player affect VLC in way, no sound?
[11:09] <silverlightning> reboot helped with the hangup
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <silverlightning> lubuntu is very good at managing the cooling fan
[11:13] <bioterror> that's becouse of cpufreq has been set on "ondemand"
[11:14] <silverlightning> it never worked properly in earlier versions of ubuntu,
[11:14] <silverlightning> I see
[11:14] <silverlightning> it works fine in Maverick too
[11:15] <silverlightning> it's cold today -2,2 C
[11:15] <bioterror> raelly
[11:16] <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
[11:17] <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
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <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"
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <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
[11:22] <silverlightning> no DW-40 lol
[11:22] <bioterror> vaseline <3
[11:22] <silverlightning> my network is slow
[11:24] <silverlightning> there is very light spray box teflon oil that works, but you have to oil constantly
[11:27] <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
[11:29] <silverlightning> something is up with packages or drivers,
[11:29] <silverlightning> I shall have to do a package manager search
[11:31] <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
[11:32] <silverlightning> had to take off a lot of packages and then reinstall others
[11:33] <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
[11:35] <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
[11:37] <silverlightning> I need a brake from this computer mess
[11:37] <silverlightning> see you later perhaps
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <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
[11:40] <silverlightning> I have to live with lubuntu for a few weeks as only distro, no windows
[11:41] <bioterror> that will make you stronger
[11:41] <bioterror> using GNU/Linux is just a state of mind
[11:42] <silverlightning> I have the Abi word processor, but I cannot find line space 1 ½
[11:43] <NRWlion> thats why i changed to openoffice until I am familiar with LaTex
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <silverlightning> and I cannot find bookman antiqa in any of them, but not that important
[11:46] <silverlightning> it runs in lubuntu?
[11:48] <NRWlion> what is Libreoffice?
[11:48] <silverlightning> how does a weak video card affect the computer system?
[11:49] <silverlightning> only video and grafics?
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <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
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <silverlightning> by Matthias Klose
[11:56] <silverlightning> which one of the download versions for lubuntu?
[11:56] <NRWlion> ok synaptic is not providing a download
[11:57] <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
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <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> :(
[12:00] <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)
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <silverlightning> I am afraid to mess up like I did yesterday
[12:03] <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
[12:04]  * JoeMaverickSett will not persuade to tinker your system if you don't have time.
[12:05] <silverlightning> I tend to panic when things freeze up or worse will not boot up
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> hey guys
[14:42] <MrChrisDruif> Hai ActionParsnip
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> is there a how to for replacing openbox with compiz to test CPU use
[14:43] <silverlightning> hi
[14:44] <silverlightning> anyone with idea on how to fix sound in either vlc or gnome player?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> silverlightning: do you get any sounds?
[14:45] <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> ??
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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...
[14:50] <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....
[14:51] <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?
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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 :)
[14:55] <MrChrisDruif> Or even better/worse; a taaby
[14:55] <MrChrisDruif> :P
[14:55] <MrChrisDruif> tabby*
[14:55] <silverlightning> failed to execute child process?
[14:55] <silverlightning> no such file in directory
[14:55] <silverlightning> weird
[14:56] <silverlightning> is there a pulsaudio package in package manager?
[14:56] <MrChrisDruif> Probably...
[14:56] <silverlightning> hmm
[14:58] <silverlightning> I seem to have libasound2 plugins
[14:59] <silverlightning> libpulse0
[14:59] <silverlightning> and vlc pulse pluggin
[15:08] <silverlightning> hi wolfpack
[15:08] <silverlightning> do you have any idea about audio problems?
[15:09] <silverlightning> I have no sound in VLC, gnome player, playing a DVD, nor youtube adobe flash video
[15:09] <silverlightning> any idea?
[15:11] <silverlightning> something has happened
[15:12] <bioterror> check alsamixer
[15:13] <wolfpack> hi silverlightning , I did not have any sound problem till now. So I cannot help you :(
[15:14] <silverlightning> nothing like that in package manager
[15:14] <silverlightning> bioterror, how do I put back the default setting in gnome player?
[15:15] <silverlightning> I suspect that might be an issue
[15:15] <bioterror> check alsamixer
[15:15] <bioterror> is there anything muted
[15:16] <silverlightning> I have marked off for the changes I did under preferances
[15:17] <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
[15:19] <silverlightning> where?
[15:20] <silverlightning> ...how
[15:21] <bioterror> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard#Directory_structure
[15:22] <bioterror> /usr/bin/
[15:22] <bioterror> Non-essential command binaries (not needed in single user mode); for all users.
[15:23] <bioterror> can you just execute the alsamixer and check if there's something muted like PCM, MASTER OR FRONT
[15:24] <bioterror> OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED
[15:28] <silverlightning> how do I access /usr/bin/alsamixer
[15:28] <silverlightning> from filemanager?
[15:29] <silverlightning> I have found a sprocket named alsamixer
[15:30] <silverlightning> it's difficult
[15:30] <silverlightning> hmmm
[15:31] <silverlightning> I must be in the wrong place
[16:16] <mark76> Open a terminal and type alsamixer
[16:16] <mark76> Oh. He's gone
[16:39] <Mike94> hi, is there a way how I can help you guys the earn the official endorsement from Canonical? :)
[16:57] <bioterror> Mike94, http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-get-involved
[20:32] <silverlightning> hi
[20:33] <silverlightning> is there anyone who has had trouble with booting up to a white screen?
[20:55] <silverlightning> has anyone tried the old nvidia-glx packages in lubuntu?
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <silverlightning> so the chances of mucking up every thing is slim or high if I install?
[21:03] <silverlightning> I might migrate to slack ware, fedora, or other hats
[21:14] <silverlightning> hi mark76
[22:38] <silverlightning> hi
[22:38] <silverlightning> sound is back
[22:44] <silverlightning> hi
[22:44] <silverlightning> is totem the only player that tackles online tv,
[22:45] <silverlightning> on other words, windows media player oriented sites
[22:46] <silverlightning> I have manged to knock down chromium with too much stuff
[22:46] <silverlightning> it crashes the minute it opens
[22:46] <silverlightning> weird
