| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| kristian-aalborg | http://damieng.com/blog/2008/05/26/envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-released <--- can I use this on the console, it is truetype | 00:15 |
| aveilleux | kristian-aalborg: Yes, just change the font settings in gnome-terminal | 00:26 |
| aveilleux | kristian-aalborg: Edit > Profile Preferences... > Uncheck "use system font" and select your own | 00:27 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi aveilleux | 00:37 |
| kristian-aalborg | I was being unclear... I meant for the framebuffer | 00:37 |
| aveilleux | kristian-aalborg: No, the kernel doesn't support TTF fonts. You'd have to load an X server and use its font renderers | 00:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | it seems I have to use fbterm or something like that | 00:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | yeah | 00:39 |
| kristian-aalborg | this one was just mentioned as a "programmers" font so many places that I thought I was missing something :/ | 00:40 |
| aveilleux | kristian-aalborg: They mean it's a good monospace font to use when coding. | 00:40 |
| kristian-aalborg | so it seems.... bugger, it's a nice-looking font | 00:40 |
| jonstanford | need some advice after the last update broke the ability of a clean boot with grub2 | 01:37 |
| jonstanford | I think I want to back out the update and try again because the fault is that the boot loader can't read initrd.img (corrupt?) | 01:38 |
| jonstanford | So, my question is how to get the last update to .29 to reload | 01:39 |
| jonstanford | I can boot from the grub2 recovery console into the last good image by loading the last linux kernel and the last good initrd.img then issuing a boot command. | 01:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | would anyone know some nice console fonts, apart from Tamsyn and Terminus? | 01:54 |

| johnny77 | is there an aptitude history? | 03:46 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, You can do cat ~/.bash_history |grep apt | 03:47 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: I was think of more of what was installed recently. I did a sudo aptitude upgrade then sudo aptitude install xorg and now something screwed up. | 03:48 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Oh, what packages were recently installed? Run a sudo aptitude purge xorg, and see what packages get marked for removal. Those would be the ones installed. | 03:50 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: can I purge an upgrade? | 03:51 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Not that I'm aware of | 03:52 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: I figured it out... somthing in the upgrade or xorg blacklisted my driver! | 03:53 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Interesting. | 03:54 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Are you trying to build up from a CLI install? | 03:55 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: yes... it's been quite an adventure, but I've learned loads!! | 03:55 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Something that'll help: install xinit instead of xorg (xorg gets installed as a dependency, and x11 is set up to run at boot time) | 03:56 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: maybe i'm still a little new or just really tired, but can you explain that a little better. | 03:57 |
| johnny77 | wait... hold on. let me think I want to guess | 03:57 |
| johnny77 | If I install xinit, xorg also gets installed plus I won't have to type startx, it'll load automatically. Is that right. | 03:58 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Exactly | 03:58 |
| johnny77 | \o/ Yay!!!! | 03:59 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, What desktop environment are you planning on using? | 03:59 |
| johnny77 | fluxbox | 03:59 |
| johnny77 | now that xorg is install i don't have to purge, but just install xinit. | 04:00 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, That's correct | 04:00 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Something that might help you is the Fluxbox portion of my script: https://github.com/AntonioPT/minimal-desktop-for-ubuntu/blob/master/script.sh#L176 | 04:00 |
| pleia2 | johnny77: /var/log/dpkg.log | 04:00 |
| pleia2 | (for future reference) | 04:01 |
| johnny77 | pleia2: is that the install history? | 04:02 |
| pleia2 | yep | 04:02 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: thanks. Is that kind of a automated install? | 04:02 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Yep. See also: http://minimal-desktop.sublevel21.com/generator/ | 04:03 |
| johnny77 | pleia2: does it matter what you use to install ie apt-get vs aptitude? | 04:03 |
| pleia2 | johnny77: nope, both use dpkg and that's what the log is actually tracking | 04:04 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: that's really cool - the second link | 04:06 |
| aveilleux | johnny77, Er, apparently the Fluxbox portion is broken right now. I have an email to send. | 04:06 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux & pleia2: Thank you! But it's not time to go to bed.. see ya, take it easy. | 04:08 |
| pleia2 | good night :) | 04:08 |
| aveilleux | See ya | 04:09 |

| xAndromeda | back! lol no i dont remember it ever working... | 07:38 |
| xAndromeda | i googled it but came up with nothing said sothing about an arthero driver | 07:38 |
| xAndromeda | clueless O.o | 07:39 |
| Cheri703 | I'm assuming you have a wired connection? | 07:39 |
| xAndromeda | yes | 07:39 |
| Cheri703 | have you tried system > administration > drivers? | 07:40 |
| Cheri703 | or hardware drivers? | 07:40 |
| Cheri703 | what version of ubuntu are you running? | 07:40 |
| xAndromeda | 10.10 | 07:40 |
| Cheri703 | k | 07:41 |
| xAndromeda | i only see a additional drivers | 07:41 |
| xAndromeda | under system admin | 07:41 |
| Cheri703 | try that | 07:41 |
| xAndromeda | says no proprietary drivers evyerthing else is blank | 07:41 |
| Cheri703 | k | 07:41 |
| Cheri703 | desktop or laptop? I think you'd said laptop, yes? | 07:42 |
| xAndromeda | yeah laptop | 07:42 |
| Cheri703 | k | 07:42 |
| Cheri703 | does the bottom of it name the wireless chipset or anything? sometimes it's printed on there | 07:42 |
| Cheri703 | and/or what's the make/model of the laptop? | 07:42 |
| xAndromeda | no it dosnt appear to be, its a HP G60 - 538CA | 07:43 |
| Cheri703 | on your network icon, right click and see if there's an option for wireless | 07:44 |
| Cheri703 | and/or is there a hardware button/switch/something to turn on/off wireless? | 07:45 |
| xAndromeda | theres a hw button for wireless but it dosnt work | 07:45 |
| Cheri703 | k, did you check the network icon? | 07:45 |
| xAndromeda | wireless disconnected not showing any networks | 07:46 |
| xAndromeda | and i know there is one cuz my cell is connected to it right now | 07:46 |
| Cheri703 | did you right click on it? | 07:46 |
| xAndromeda | yes | 07:47 |
| Cheri703 | and it shows wireless? enabled or? | 07:47 |
| xAndromeda | enabled | 07:47 |
| Cheri703 | ok, so then it's recognizing that you HAVE a card... | 07:47 |
| Cheri703 | hmmm...is this a newer or older laptop? | 07:47 |
| xAndromeda | i bought it about 2.5 years ago... idk how new the model is | 07:48 |
| Cheri703 | do you know if your router is set to b, g, or n? | 07:49 |
| xAndromeda | no idea O.o | 07:50 |
| xAndromeda | how would i check? | 07:50 |
| Cheri703 | ok, try choosing "connect to hidden wireless network" and typing in the name of your wireless connection | 07:50 |
| Cheri703 | you'd have to log into the router, don't worry about it | 07:50 |
| Cheri703 | it is case specific | 07:51 |
| xAndromeda | ok that worked O.o | 07:51 |
| xAndromeda | awsum :D | 07:51 |
| xAndromeda | why is it hidden though? O.o | 07:51 |
| Cheri703 | don't know | 07:52 |
| Cheri703 | but cool | 07:52 |
| xAndromeda | i could see it on pretty much eveyr other divice | 07:52 |
| Cheri703 | glad you're connected :) | 07:52 |
| Cheri703 | I have to go to bed! | 07:52 |
| xAndromeda | ^_^ thx | 07:52 |
| Cheri703 | enjoy your wireless freedom! | 07:52 |
| ray_ | I am trying to find, if there, is an icon for DBGL short for DOSBox Game Launcher | 09:15 |
| ray_ | Is there an icon for DBGL? | 09:17 |
| ray_ | I guess not then | 09:23 |
| ray_ | I got DOSBox Game Launcher working | 09:27 |
| ray_ | The file called dbgl was supposed to be named dbgl.sh | 09:27 |
| ray_ | I made a launcher to it which makes it nice | 09:27 |
| ray_ | Meka didn't work in the end, but DOSBox Game Launcher is nice to have | 09:28 |
| ray_ | I am going to try installing Hardy Heron and installing wine 1.0 then there will be a deb package under /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 09:30 |
| andrew_46 | ray_: Just as a matter of curiosity why Hardy Heron? | 09:31 |
| ray_ | Then I can try installing that on Ubuntu 10.04, but I am going to do it on my experimental hard drive. Then I will try installing the newest wine playinlinux has to offer | 09:32 |
| ray_ | It's a long shot which is for fun anyhow | 09:32 |
| ray_ | Meka works best on Wine 1.0 which is what Ubuntu Hardy Heron has for wine | 09:33 |
| ray_ | I've tried using Wine 1.0 through Playonlinux. It didn't work out what so ever. | 09:34 |
| ray_ | Anyways, I am just mucking about. | 09:34 |
| andrew_46 | ray_: I have never really used wine but the wine pages seem to say that newer Wine works ok with meka : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6478&iTestingId=12953 | 09:37 |
| ray_ | I just re-installed Ubuntu 10.04, and I just installed CLI Companion. duanedesign said he was going to add a couple of features to it | 09:38 |
| ray_ | What command would fill the terminal a few screens | 09:38 |
| ray_ | ? | 09:38 |
| andrew_46 | Oops with 1.1.31 | 09:39 |
| ray_ | It doesn't have good sound, it doesn't go to fulscreen, and because it doesn't go to fullscreen it also lets the mouse go out of the window back into wine which sucks. | 09:40 |
| ray_ | Meka has a neat feature for shooting games that lets the mouse act as the lasergun | 09:41 |
| andrew_46 | oic | 09:41 |
| ray_ | It would be great if Kega Fusion had that feature | 09:41 |
| ray_ | what does oic stand for? | 09:41 |
| ray_ | oh I see | 09:42 |
| ray_ | LOL | 09:43 |
| andrew_46 | hehehehe :) | 09:43 |
| ray_ | Another one to add to the list | 09:43 |
| ray_ | So what command would fill the terminal so I can see if scroll back was added? The terminal doesn't let me scroll back which sucks sometimes, but maybe I missed out on keyboard short cuts that users like you would know about in the terminal. | 09:45 |
| ray_ | Like for instance I have been reading this book for Using Opensuse which a program called nice which has keyboard shortcuts that can be used for more and less and so forth but I haven't tried it yet | 09:47 |
| andrew_46 | ray_: You want to increase the scrollback buffer? | 09:47 |
| ray_ | I can? | 09:47 |
| ray_ | Ah ha. | 09:48 |
| andrew_46 | I am not completely sure of what you are after but most terminals will allow you to increase or decrease the scrollback | 09:48 |
| ray_ | I would prefer unlimited, but I am sure that could have it's draw back. | 09:48 |
| ray_ | I didn't know | 09:48 |
| andrew_46 | I use xfce terminal and this option is available in Edit --- Preferences --- General | 09:48 |
| andrew_46 | Set at 1000 lines atm | 09:49 |
| ray_ | It's under edit, profile preferences, scrolling | 09:49 |
| ray_ | It can be set to how many lines or unlimited | 09:49 |
| andrew_46 | ray_: You are using gnome's terminal? | 09:50 |
| ray_ | Yep | 09:50 |
| ray_ | I also have CLI Companion installed | 09:50 |
| andrew_46 | It is a little more fully featured than xfce's offering from memory | 09:50 |
| andrew_46 | Hmmm..... don't know this ne | 09:50 |
| andrew_46 | one | 09:50 |
| ray_ | Well, I am sure they all have there neat features though | 09:51 |
| ray_ | Though I haven't tried anything else | 09:51 |
| andrew_46 | I see a screenshot: it has a list of commands + meanings above the actual erminal? | 09:52 |
| ray_ | http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/okwiki/clicompanion | 09:52 |
| ray_ | https://launchpad.net/clicompanion | 09:52 |
| ray_ | you mean cli companion? | 09:53 |
| andrew_46 | Hmmm... decreases the work space a little | 09:53 |
| ray_ | It has the feature to be able to add commands you want to to the list above | 09:53 |
| ray_ | and | 09:54 |
| ray_ | for making more room there is an arrow that can make the list go away | 09:54 |
| ray_ | Still though it does decrease space a little but it's not bad | 09:54 |
| andrew_46 | Nice, I have not heard of this one before. Mind you I am somewhat of a commandline junkie so I am reasonably comfortable with a bare terminal :) | 09:55 |
| ray_ | I hear you dude | 09:55 |
| ray_ | clear is a command I should remember | 09:56 |
| ray_ | I will fill you in on some of what duanedesign told me | 09:56 |
| andrew_46 | What sort of commandline applications are you interested in? | 09:56 |
| ray_ | I am not sure I run any | 09:57 |
| ray_ | I am likely going to try ktorrent | 09:57 |
| ray_ | I am some what of a newbie, but I like to learn | 09:58 |
| ray_ | About 2 years with Ubuntu | 09:58 |
| andrew_46 | We are all beginners iin one way or another :) | 09:58 |
| ray_ | lol, ya, everything takes time | 09:58 |
| ray_ | OK, so if I click on a command listed in cli companion right click edit | 09:59 |
| ray_ | example | 09:59 |
| ray_ | "ps auxww | grep ?" | 10:00 |
| ray_ | under user input:process | 10:00 |
| ray_ | decription:displays information about the active process | 10:00 |
| ray_ | what that wasn't a good exmple of what the question marks do | 10:00 |
| ray_ | When a question mark is shown it is for the user to put input in like for instance a path | 10:01 |
| ray_ | like for instance: | 10:02 |
| ray_ | command"find -maxdepth 1 -type f | xargs grep -F ?" | 10:02 |
| ray_ | user input:string | 10:03 |
| ray_ | description:Search all regular files for 'string' in this dir | 10:03 |
| ray_ | Any command can be added, and when added with a question mark the user can make it so the user can type a path or a string or what ever else a user can specify in place of the question mark or marks | 10:04 |
| ray_ | CLI Companion is a neat program | 10:04 |
| andrew_46 | Sounds interesting | 10:05 |
| ray_ | No, I have run at least a couple commandline apps | 10:05 |
| ray_ | well emulators | 10:05 |
| ray_ | dega | 10:05 |
| ray_ | dgen didn't work | 10:05 |
| andrew_46 | BTW for find I rewrote this one a while back: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/find | 10:05 |
| ray_ | I want to try to get mednafen to worl | 10:06 |
| * andrew_46 suspects nobody has ever used this page :( | 10:06 | |
| andrew_46 | mednafen? | 10:06 |
| andrew_46 | OIC --> emulator | 10:07 |
| ray_ | ya | 10:07 |
| andrew_46 | You might be interested to know that the development version of vlc is capable of playback of many of the old game console music | 10:08 |
| ray_ | That's neat. | 10:09 |
| ray_ | I use SMPlayer, it has slow motion | 10:09 |
| andrew_46 | From the repository? | 10:10 |
| ray_ | You made me laugh when you said: suspects nobody has ever used this page:( | 10:10 |
| ray_ | My frown is wrong? | 10:10 |
| andrew_46 | I have written several guides / wikis that have sunk due to the indifference of many :( | 10:11 |
| ray_ | Ya, it is in the repository | 10:11 |
| * andrew_46 reaches for some tissues..... | 10:11 | |
| ray_ | I understand, that stinks | 10:12 |
| ray_ | I've tried to write guides for me to use | 10:12 |
| ray_ | I think the key is to think like an absolute beginner | 10:12 |
| ray_ | examples are key | 10:12 |
| andrew_46 | Perhaps you should place some online? | 10:13 |
| ray_ | It has it's troubles of course, but perhaps I might, but where can I post them for free | 10:14 |
| ray_ | on the other hand there is so many already | 10:14 |
| andrew_46 | Ubuntu forums has a 'Tutorials and Tips' section | 10:14 |
| andrew_46 | http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100 | 10:14 |
| ray_ | Rigth, duh, I forget sometimes | 10:14 |
| ray_ | OK, I got a question | 10:15 |
| ray_ | I've gone to the Ubuntu forums and used the search bar, but where are the listings? | 10:15 |
| ray_ | So I end up using google instead | 10:15 |
| andrew_46 | listings? | 10:16 |
| ray_ | Give me a little to make sure I was not being dumb | 10:16 |
| andrew_46 | For example, what were you searchiing for? | 10:17 |
| ray_ | I just searched for firefox | 10:17 |
| ray_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?do=process | 10:17 |
| andrew_46 | Pretty broad search, is there a more specific problem like 'firefox flash youtube'? | 10:19 |
| ray_ | I will try that then | 10:19 |
| ray_ | same: | 10:19 |
| ray_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?do=process | 10:19 |
| ray_ | I just don't get this | 10:20 |
| ray_ | so like I said I use google and google ubuntu and the errr or topic or topics I am looking into | 10:21 |
| ray_ | Sometimes the simple things get me | 10:21 |
| andrew_46 | You don't see this: http://www.andrews-corner.org/tmp/screenshot.png | 10:22 |
| andrew_46 | ? | 10:22 |
| ray_ | Nope | 10:22 |
| andrew_46 | Hmmmm..... is there an error message on the page that you get to? | 10:24 |
| ray_ | I go to here: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?do=process then I go to the box that says search by keyword and I put firefox flash youtube in it and the same page pops back up | 10:24 |
| andrew_46 | Are you logged into the forums? | 10:24 |
| ray_ | what | 10:24 |
| ray_ | 1. The answer given for the random question was incorrect. | 10:24 |
| ray_ | that was the error | 10:25 |
| andrew_46 | oic, you are not logged in and must answer an annoying question before your search will work | 10:25 |
| ray_ | I am not logged on, do I have to be? | 10:25 |
| ray_ | O, I didn't know | 10:25 |
| andrew_46 | No, but you must answer a question below your search | 10:25 |
| andrew_46 | scroll down :) | 10:25 |
| ray_ | O, it's a human prove I am not a bot question | 10:26 |
| andrew_46 | indeed | 10:26 |
| ray_ | I didn't see that before | 10:26 |
| andrew_46 | But loggiing in is easier? | 10:26 |
| ray_ | Another thing in the bag | 10:27 |
| ray_ | Thank you | 10:27 |
| andrew_46 | I wish all questions were as easy to solve :) | 10:27 |
| ray_ | he he, ya, me too | 10:28 |
| ray_ | I've seen hell before, it's always good to have a backup of all our info | 10:28 |
| andrew_46 | Indeed I use an external drive | 10:29 |
| ray_ | I want to learn how to dual boot windows with Linux but I can see hell just trying to learn how to un-install one or the other. | 10:29 |
| ray_ | I don't care what anyone says it's not easy | 10:29 |
| andrew_46 | Another choice is to use a program like Virtualbox to run other operating systems | 10:30 |
| ray_ | The possibility of loosing info if that is where all my info is would just be asking for it | 10:30 |
| ray_ | I've haven't tried that yet | 10:31 |
| ray_ | There is so much to try | 10:31 |
| andrew_46 | Virtualbox is well worth a try and there is a specific section of the Ubuntu Forums for assistance if you have trouble | 10:32 |
| ray_ | You know what would be great? | 10:33 |
| ray_ | LOL | 10:33 |
| andrew_46 | ? | 10:33 |
| ray_ | sorry I couldn't help it | 10:34 |
| ray_ | A terminal that would teacher beginners | 10:34 |
| ray_ | That would say now type this and so forth and talk to new users | 10:34 |
| ray_ | in text | 10:35 |
| ray_ | That works but doen't let the beginner mess up and doesn't really do anything out side of a folder that only takes up to much space | 10:35 |
| ray_ | And if the user messes up the terminal will tell the user what the command does | 10:36 |
| andrew_46 | I have not seen this application yet :) | 10:36 |
| andrew_46 | But almost all commands have a relevant man page | 10:37 |
| ray_ | Right | 10:37 |
| ray_ | Sometimes, especially when I first started the man page was another language | 10:37 |
| ray_ | I meant started out | 10:38 |
| andrew_46 | Not all are terribly clear | 10:38 |
| ray_ | The order is what got me | 10:38 |
| ray_ | What programs in the terminal do you like? | 10:39 |
| andrew_46 | I am a huge fan of the media player MPlayer, the newsreader slrn and the irc client irssi | 10:40 |
| ray_ | I have been using apt-get as my way of installing packages in the terminal | 10:41 |
| andrew_46 | + mutt for mail | 10:41 |
| andrew_46 | SMPlayer, which you mentioned, is a frontend for MPlayer | 10:42 |
| ray_ | O | 10:42 |
| ray_ | so then I must have it installed | 10:42 |
| ray_ | There must be other frontends for MPlayer | 10:43 |
| ray_ | Another world | 10:44 |
| andrew_46 | yes, try this command | 10:44 |
| andrew_46 | mplayer | head -n 1 | 10:44 |
| ray_ | "Creating config file: /home/ray/.mplayer/config" | 10:44 |
| andrew_46 | This will show the version of MPlayer, version of gcc it was compiled with and date of release | 10:45 |
| andrew_46 | Run the command again :) | 10:45 |
| ray_ | Well now it does | 10:45 |
| ray_ | lol | 10:45 |
| andrew_46 | The head -n 1 command gives only the first line of output :) | 10:46 |
| ray_ | I put in mplayer | 10:46 |
| ray_ | I like the simple way it has things layed out compared to the indepth man page | 10:46 |
| ray_ | :) | 10:47 |
| andrew_46 | The command mplayer you mean? | 10:47 |
| ray_ | yep | 10:47 |
| andrew_46 | This is some introductory commands to get you going, the MPlayer man page is actually not a good example: to much info and not well organised :( | 10:48 |
| ray_ | I am going to try it, I was closing a bunch of windows that were open | 10:48 |
| ray_ | O, don't be sad, they will fix it | 10:49 |
| ray_ | LOL | 10:49 |
| ray_ | url, neat | 10:49 |
| ray_ | I got a question | 10:49 |
| ray_ | here we go again | 10:50 |
| ray_ | lol | 10:50 |
| ray_ | If I go to a webpage with a video | 10:50 |
| ray_ | how can I make it so I can watch from where I was last watching? | 10:50 |
| ray_ | I've watched videos on the internet and it stops loading etc | 10:51 |
| ray_ | what's the best program for what I am trying to ask? | 10:52 |
| ray_ | well the one you recommand | 10:52 |
| andrew_46 | Hmmmm..... It depends how the media is actually served and whether it is cached or not. | 10:53 |
| ray_ | cached it key, I know. I've used the tmp folder and the firefox cache folder to watch movie. | 10:54 |
| andrew_46 | For flash you have little choice for others I usually use the gecko mediaplayer which uses MPlayer | 10:54 |
| andrew_46 | I am not actually on Ubuntu at the moment so i am not sure of the package name | 10:54 |
| ray_ | I was watching the file cached to see if info was being put there | 10:55 |
| ray_ | kde | 10:56 |
| ray_ | http://sites.google.com/site/kdekorte2/gecko-mediaplayer | 10:56 |
| ray_ | A plugin | 10:56 |
| ray_ | A plugin for Firefox? | 10:56 |
| andrew_46 | But this is available in the repository, so have a look in synaptic for the package name, unless the silent room can volunteer the name :) | 10:57 |
| ray_ | I found this but I will check there: | 10:57 |
| ray_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514064 | 10:57 |
| andrew_46 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8936681&postcount=2 | 10:58 |
| andrew_46 | gives the relevant commands | 10:58 |
| andrew_46 | an old post of mine :) | 10:59 |
| ray_ | A multi-media plugin for gecko browsers. I've only heard of a few browsers. | 11:00 |
| andrew_46 | The link you gave deals with getdeb and source, neither of which are what you are really after | 11:02 |
| andrew_46 | ooops I have to go | 11:02 |
| ray_ | It's OK | 11:02 |
| ray_ | Take care dude | 11:02 |
| andrew_46 | nice to 'meet' you though, we will probably bump into each other in future | 11:02 |
| apter | Hello ! | 11:23 |
| apter | Need help : Are there any way to get the linksys wusb54gc to work in ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| duanedesign | hello | 11:23 |
| duanedesign | ray_: hello. Good to hear you are liking cli companion :) | 11:28 |
| ray_ | I am sorry I was playing a video using mplayer through the terminal. | 11:40 |
| ray_ | Malcolm in the Middle | 11:40 |
| ray_ | It will be useful in the future. I still need to get off my Behind and gather useful commands | 11:41 |
| ray_ | Well useful commands for me to use | 11:45 |
| xAndromeda | wow | 12:09 |
| xAndromeda | theres a file name limit? | 12:09 |
| xAndromeda | -_- | 12:09 |
| geirha | Yes, 254 bytes on ext[2-4] iirc. | 12:16 |
| geirha | ray_: A good start for finding useful commands, is to learn how the apropos (or man -k) command works. | 12:22 |
| ray_ | man -k, apropos | 12:23 |
| geirha | e.g. try: apropos movie | 12:24 |
| ray_ | I am talking to someone else | 12:25 |
| ray_ | right now | 12:25 |
| ray_ | not out of dis-respect though | 12:26 |
| lastk | hi | 12:26 |
| ray_ | hi | 12:26 |
| ray_ | now we are all here | 12:26 |
| ray_ | addon | 12:26 |
| ray_ | I wonder what addon firefox has for what I asked you lastk | 12:27 |
| lastk | http://www.orbitdownloader.com/flv-downloader/download-flv-firefox.htm | 12:27 |
| ray_ | Quote myself from the talk we had so they know what we are talking about: | 12:27 |
| ray_ | When watching videos online, I hate it when I've watched half of a video then it reloads, is there a better way or program to get around this | 12:27 |
| ray_ | Wow, neat | 12:28 |
| ray_ | Wow, that is what I have been looking for, thank you | 12:28 |
| ray_ | bookmarked | 12:29 |
| lastk | ;) | 12:29 |
| ray_ | I can't wait to try it. | 12:29 |
| ray_ | geirha said ealier try apropos movie, he is showing me how to use the apropos command | 12:30 |
| lastk | sorry, what is apropos? | 12:31 |
| ray_ | I don't know yet | 12:31 |
| ray_ | try the command:apropos movie | 12:31 |
| ray_ | It listed the different programs that can play movies installed | 12:31 |
| ray_ | I think | 12:31 |
| lastk | oh, nice | 12:32 |
| lastk | this is a ubuntu command right? | 12:32 |
| lastk | idont use ubuntu heheh | 12:32 |
| ray_ | uuh, where did they go? | 12:32 |
| ray_ | he said also try man -k | 12:32 |
| ray_ | it says apropos what? | 12:33 |
| ray_ | I guess it is a ubuntu command but don't know | 12:34 |
| ray_ | ah, I see | 12:34 |
| ray_ | man -k apt-get | 12:34 |
| ray_ | what commands are like man? | 12:35 |
| ray_ | O, you don't use Ubuntu, OK that cool | 12:36 |
| ray_ | What are you running? | 12:36 |
| duanedesign | hello geirha :) | 12:36 |
| lastk | archlinux | 12:36 |
| ray_ | Hello duanedesign | 12:37 |
| geirha | apropos is not an ubuntu command, but it's not a standard unix command either, some systems have it, some don't. | 12:37 |
| geirha | Regardless, your system will have man, and man -k will do the same. | 12:37 |
| geirha | duanedesign: Hi :) | 12:37 |
| ray_ | I never tried archlinux | 12:37 |
| ray_ | I've mostly used Ubuntu | 12:37 |
| ray_ | My uncle uses Madrake | 12:38 |
| lastk | :) | 12:38 |
| duanedesign | geirha: hmmm, what is the -k for. Guess I could do man man to find out :) | 12:38 |
| lastk | well, Iwill eat something | 12:38 |
| lastk | see ya | 12:38 |
| ray_ | see ya and thank you | 12:38 |
| ray_ | ya, man man | 12:39 |
| duanedesign | geirha: aha, that is cool | 12:39 |
| lastk | thank you too | 12:39 |
| lastk | ray_ : ? | 12:39 |
| lastk | talking to me? | 12:39 |
| ray_ | see ya | 12:39 |
| ray_ | have good eats | 12:39 |
| duanedesign | arch is good if you want to have total control and compile everything by hand | 12:39 |
| ray_ | Does it remember where things are installed? | 12:40 |
| geirha | It has a package manager named pacman iirc | 12:40 |
| ray_ | checkinstall is the cammand I have to remember for installing from source when installing from source works out for me | 12:40 |
| ray_ | iirc that sounds a lot like the irc commandline program | 12:41 |
| ray_ | pacman, lol | 12:41 |
| geirha | checkinstall will only work for behaving build-scripts though. It "usually" works. | 12:41 |
| ray_ | well, it doesn't matter too much to me | 12:42 |
| ray_ | but it's nice to have comtrol | 12:42 |
| ray_ | what about slackware? | 12:42 |
| ray_ | Have you guys tried it? | 12:42 |
| ray_ | Is Slackware as hardcore as it gets? | 12:43 |
| geirha | If you want hardcore, try LFS (linux from scratch). | 12:43 |
| duanedesign | LFS | 12:44 |
| duanedesign | d'oh, geirha beat me | 12:44 |
| duanedesign | after LFS, I would say Arch | 12:44 |
| ray_ | lol, compiling linux from source? | 12:44 |
| duanedesign | build your own distro from scratch | 12:44 |
| geirha | Yes, you build a linux system from scratch | 12:44 |
| geirha | My knowledge of linux skyrocketed after going through that book. | 12:45 |
| duanedesign | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ | 12:45 |
| duanedesign | geirha: definetly | 12:45 |
| ray_ | Crazy cool | 12:45 |
| duanedesign | it is kinda addicting and time consuming though :) | 12:46 |
| ray_ | I've thought about stepping out to try Debian since I am using Ubuntu | 12:46 |
| duanedesign | Debian is very nice | 12:46 |
| === swoody is now known as Guest59021 | ||
| duanedesign | I stick with UBuntu/Debian and Fedora | 12:46 |
| ray_ | Customizable no worry of Ubuntu packages getting in the way, but I think I would mis having so much at my finger tips | 12:47 |
| ray_ | Ubuntu is nice | 12:47 |
| ray_ | Learning, so much I haven't learned | 12:48 |
| duanedesign | oh, and tinycore linux. I keep a copy of that on one of my old machines | 12:48 |
| ray_ | Good thing I have an extra hard drive | 12:48 |
| ray_ | O, man, I wanted to get the screen saver for Star Trek working we used to have | 12:49 |
| ray_ | it was on Win 3.1 | 12:49 |
| ray_ | it was funny as all heck | 12:49 |
| ray_ | I looked on youtube and couldn't find it | 12:49 |
| ray_ | It had data dancing dances like the fox trot | 12:50 |
| ray_ | Anyways about 4 to 8 months ago I tried Win 3.1 on dosbox | 12:50 |
| ray_ | but I couldn't get that screen saver to work. Good times though | 12:50 |
| ray_ | we make good times though | 12:51 |
| ray_ | Thank you for the link | 12:51 |
| ray_ | Sorry for going off topic | 12:53 |
| duanedesign | no worries. As long as it is slow like this I do not see a problem | 12:54 |
| ray_ | I want to try out other Linux distros | 12:54 |
| ray_ | I was just watching this video earlier: | 12:57 |
| ray_ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfDXz6aRDhA | 12:57 |
| duanedesign | ray_: distrowatch is a good place to read about all kinds of distros | 12:57 |
| ray_ | right distrowatch | 12:58 |
| ray_ | I was around someone who liked gentoo | 12:58 |
| ray_ | on myspace | 12:58 |
| ray_ | Wil Wheaton uses Mandrake | 13:00 |
| duanedesign | gentoo has a nice wiki | 13:01 |
| ray_ | I read the gentoo wiki, I am now checking out the LFS website you guys linked | 13:24 |
| ray_ | Is the book for LFS scratch on this website: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ? | 13:40 |
| ray_ | I found BLFS | 13:41 |
| ray_ | Is this it: | 13:41 |
| ray_ | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/ | 13:41 |
| geirha | That's Beyond Linux From Scratch. Once you've completed LFS, you can continue with BLFS. | 13:42 |
| geirha | Yes, that's the one. | 13:42 |
| ray_ | Right, this is BLFS: http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs-museum/1.0/BLFS-1.0/ | 13:44 |
| ray_ | the beginning of BLFS which is ever LFS | 13:44 |
| ray_ | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/ | 13:45 |
| ray_ | Is there a program like orbitdownloader for linux? | 13:58 |
| geirha | Perhaps ... what would a program like orbitdownloader do? | 13:58 |
| ray_ | http://www.orbitdownloader.com/flv-downloader/download-flv-firefox.htm | 13:59 |
| ray_ | Download videos like the addon downloadhelper for firefox | 14:00 |
| ray_ | Though I am not sure if that would work, I should try it some time | 14:00 |
| ray_ | I used to use Dhelper for youtube videos | 14:01 |
| ray_ | I mean downloadhelper | 14:01 |
| geirha | I have no idea | 14:02 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ray_: ever tried DownThemAll? | 14:04 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ray_: it's like the Internet Download Manger for Firefox :) | 14:04 |
| ray_ | never heard of it | 14:04 |
| JoeMaverickSett | let me get you a link | 14:04 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ray_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/ :) | 14:05 |
| ray_ | Nice, it has pause and resume | 14:06 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yup | 14:06 |
| Synth_sam | Hi everyone, I need to install lucid on an external drive without overwriting the MBR of sda, do you think that I can do that with the alternate disc? | 14:07 |
| ray_ | Thank you. Another helpful addon. I should go. | 14:10 |
| ray_ | Thank you | 14:10 |
| BigMac | does anyone know when firefox 3.6.15 will be available in the repositories? | 14:10 |
| Synth_sam | not sure, any particular reason? | 14:13 |
| BigMac | yes, there's some java issues with the current release | 14:14 |
| Synth_sam | you could install from mozilla team ppa | 14:15 |
| JoeMaverickSett | the daily build has 3.6.16, there's no breakage yet...at least to me.. | 14:16 |
| JoeMaverickSett | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa | 14:16 |
| BigMac | oh, i'm not very technical, i'm pretty much a n00b, how would i go about that | 14:16 |
| BigMac | oh, ok, thanks | 14:16 |
| JoeMaverickSett | well, if you're going to use it, bare in mind it's a daily build, so you might experience some breakage. | 14:17 |
| BigMac | ok, i might wait for the final release | 14:17 |
| JoeMaverickSett | that _would_ be a good idea. :) | 14:18 |
| BigMac | the reason i want the next release is that my net bank reported that the current version had some java malfunction, so i can't get into my net bank | 14:18 |
| BigMac | it's not a disaster tho | 14:18 |
| BigMac | cause i have a mac | 14:18 |
| BigMac | if i do as described at the launchpad site, will downloading a daily build update my firefox without any breakage, provided that the build itself is ok? | 14:21 |
| duanedesign | BigMac: yes. | 14:30 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i guess so. i've not had any breakage from daily builds apart from trying to pull in some unsuccessful/still building ppa(s) :D | 14:30 |
| JoeMaverickSett | D'oh! | 14:30 |
| duanedesign | BigMac: the easiest way to add the ppa is : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa | 14:31 |
| duanedesign | BigMac: then this command should pick up the new version available: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:32 |
| BigMac | ok, thanks | 14:32 |
| BigMac | but if i do that, will i be able to update to the final release version of ff when it arrives? | 14:33 |
| ikt | heya, is there a command to tell whether I have the open source ati driver installed or the proprietary ati driver installed? | 14:44 |
| bioterror | dpkg -l |grep ati | 14:44 |
| ikt | bioterror, mmm anyway to search without including description? | 14:47 |
| bioterror | dpkg -l tells what you have on your system installed | 14:48 |
| ikt | yea | 14:53 |
| ikt | how do I know which is the open source driver and which is the proprietary one? | 14:54 |
| bioterror | radeonhd is opensource | 14:54 |
| ikt | ty | 14:56 |

| ray_ | rather downthemall | 15:45 |
| ray_ | and I couldn't get it to download videos | 15:45 |
| ray_ | so I downloaded downloadhelper | 15:46 |
| ray_ | and together I used them both to download a video from project free tv | 15:46 |
| ray_ | It worked great | 15:47 |
| ray_ | thank you duanedesign | 15:47 |
| ray_ | I have yet to try it out more but it worked great so far | 15:48 |
| ray_ | I watched the first episode of 3rd rock from the sun | 15:48 |
| duanedesign | ray_: that is great | 15:49 |
| ray_ | thank you | 15:49 |
| ray_ | finally, I can download and not worry if it is going to reload in the middle of watching a video | 15:49 |

| Cheri703 | I am trying to use a liveCD on an OLD computer, and with 2 different versions (10.04 and 9.10) I am getting "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" most of what I'm finding online is regarding an already installed system, so I'm not sure where to go from here | 19:17 |
| johnny77 | I need to make a script of commands needing root privelages. Can I get that to run at startup without needing to type my password? | 19:17 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: put it into /etc/rc.local | 19:24 |
| Cheri703 | I get the error if I try to run the disk check from the initial screen, or if I try to just install... | 19:25 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: thank you, once again! | 19:29 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: No problem | 19:30 |
| duanedesign | Cheri703: can you get the Live session to work on the LiveCD | 19:31 |
| Cheri703 | nope | 19:31 |
| duanedesign | :\ | 19:32 |
| Cheri703 | I choose "try without installing" and get the error | 19:32 |
| Cheri703 | it's an OLD computer, but I need the floppy drive... | 19:32 |
| duanedesign | Cheri703: could be a bad CD burn. Also check the md5of the download | 19:36 |
| Cheri703 | both cds have worked in the past | 19:37 |
| Cheri703 | and BOTH cds get the same error | 19:37 |
| duanedesign | hmmm | 19:37 |
| Cheri703 | :/ it will boot into win98 though! | 19:39 |
| Cheri703 | that's what's installed on it -_- | 19:39 |
| Cheri703 | I might see if I can just steal the floppy out of it, my desktop doesn't like the one that's in it... | 19:39 |
| rainstake | permissions denied in UI when trying to rmdir .caine-from-deb, anyone know the answer to this dilemma? | 19:41 |
| duanedesign | sudo | 19:41 |
| duanedesign | oh in ui | 19:41 |
| duanedesign | rainstake: if you are trying to manipulate a file that is outside your users Home directory you will need t open a root version of nautilus | 19:42 |
| rainstake | I installed it from the download page, that is, I installed Caine, but then it was broken (their term) and so I wanted to remove it and was denied. | 19:42 |
| rainstake | Okay. So install nautilus? I have Ubuntu 10.04. | 19:43 |
| duanedesign | you can open a Terminal and type: gksudo nautilus | 19:43 |
| rainstake | Okay. Trying that now. | 19:43 |
| duanedesign | rainstake: nautilus is the window manager in Ubuntu | 19:43 |
| * Cheri703 gave up and put the floppy into a different computer... | 19:43 | |
| duanedesign | Cheri703: the only other thing i could think of is trying different boot parameters. I think it is f6 when the CD starts. maybe put at the end: noapic nosplash | 19:44 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...k | 19:44 |
| Cheri703 | I may come back to it at some point | 19:44 |
| rainstake | Thank you duanedesign. The root File Browser popped up (i.e. opened). A 'Desktop' icon exists. | 19:45 |
| Cheri703 | looks like it may be working in the other computer | 19:45 |
| aveilleux | rainstake: That's /root/Desktop... your Desktop folder is /home/<username>/Desktop | 19:46 |
| rainstake | Is there a next step to take in rmdir .caine-from-deb? I even tried to recursively remove it. | 19:49 |
| aveilleux | rainstake: Did you do an rm -r .caine-from-deb ? | 19:49 |
| rainstake | I tried, and even tried a rmdir -rf, but no success. | 19:50 |
| aveilleux | rainstake: sudo rm -rf .caine-from-deb/ ? | 19:51 |
| rainstake | Okay, I am tyring that now. | 19:51 |
| rainstake | Success! Thank you, aveilleux. So, now I have to read up on the properties of sudo. That' is so nice to have it removed. Now I can see what the problem was with installing it in the first place. | 19:53 |
| rainstake | Merci!!! | 19:53 |
| rainstake | Thank you, too, duanedesign. | 19:53 |
| aveilleux | rainstake: No problem | 19:54 |
| aveilleux | !sudo | rainstake | 19:54 |
| rainstake | how to install an update of mozilla, when it downloads as a .tar or whatever? | 19:54 |
| aveilleux | Oh no, where did ubot go D: | 19:54 |
| aveilleux | rainstake: Do you need to update Firefox manually? Is the version in the repositories not sufficient? | 19:55 |
| rainstake | Yes, to both your questions, it seems. I thought downloading the new mozilla (Firefox, really) would update to the new Firefox version automatically, but it looks like I have to manually open the tar and then implement it in UI. | 19:56 |
| rainstake | I mean via command line. | 19:56 |
| rainstake | Same goes for a warzone2100 game I want to install. | 19:56 |
| duanedesign | rainstake: here is a good link that explains root and sudo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:57 |
| rainstake | Great, thank you, duandesign. I have to go, now, because I need to do some errands while the sun is out. You all are very awesome and I think this is an very great support communty. | 19:58 |
| duanedesign | awesome come back and see us | 19:58 |
| rainstake | Definitly. | 19:58 |
| rainstake | Cheers. | 19:58 |
| duanedesign | o/ | 19:58 |
| Cheri703 | so, new question: I now have ubuntu recognizing that a floppy drive exists, but won't read the disk | 20:12 |
| Cheri703 | so how do I get it to recognize? | 20:13 |
| Cheri703 | the files on the disks are from an old mac | 20:13 |
| Cheri703 | don't know if that has anything to do with it | 20:13 |
| aveilleux | Cheri703: It might be using the hfs file system, and I don't know if the Linux kernel supports it by default | 20:16 |
| Cheri703 | ok, can support be installed? | 20:16 |
| Cheri703 | because it isn't acknowledging that anything is on the disks (I've tried 2) | 20:17 |
| pleia2 | not sure it supports it by default, but you should be able to modprobe the module if it's not already loaded | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | so first do: lsmod | grep hfs | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | that will list modules and see if hfs is in there (it's not on mine by default) | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | if you get nothing from that command: sudo modprobe hfsplus | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | that will load the hfs module into the kernel and hopefully it'll work from there | 20:22 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | worth a shot! | 20:23 |
| Cheri703 | no love :( | 20:28 |
| geirha | sudo file -s /dev/fd0 | 20:31 |
| geirha | I think that should tell you what filesystem it uses. | 20:31 |
| Cheri703 | /dev/fd0: DOS floppy 1440k, x86 hard disk boot sector | 20:32 |
| geirha | Does this output anything? sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt | 20:33 |
| geirha | If not, try: ls /mnt | 20:34 |
| Cheri703 | yay! | 20:34 |
| Cheri703 | now to see if I can open the dang files! | 20:34 |
| pleia2 | :) | 20:35 |
| Cheri703 | thank you! | 20:35 |
| ibuclaw | Cheri703, floopy disk? | 20:35 |
| Cheri703 | yup | 20:35 |
| * ibuclaw recalls some Gnome tool for that | 20:36 | |
| Cheri703 | going to remove a bunch of files for a client who doesn't have a 3.5 floppy drive anymore | 20:36 |
| geirha | It's been ages since I had a floppy drive, so I don't know any ways to access it other than from the command line :) | 20:36 |
| ibuclaw | apt-cache search floppy | 20:37 |
| ibuclaw | fdutils - Linux floppy utilities | 20:37 |
| ibuclaw | The package includes the following items: | 20:38 |
| ibuclaw | - fdmount: automatically mounts/unmounts disks when they are inserted/removed; | 20:38 |
| Cheri703 | ahhh, sweet | 20:38 |
| MrChrisDruif | xD | 20:39 |
| ibuclaw | I'll have a look at the package like | 20:39 |
| ibuclaw | s/like/list | 20:39 |
| Cheri703 | hmm, one of them was a doc, but this next one is all weird names and junk, and it's saying "pc formatted disk with no filesystem" | 20:39 |
| ibuclaw | looks like it might have a service that comes with the package too | 20:39 |
| Cheri703 | no idea what format the files are :/ | 20:39 |
| ibuclaw | http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/fdutils/filelist | 20:41 |
| ibuclaw | nope, no service. :) | 20:41 |
| mic_working | hello | 21:21 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai mic_working | 21:22 |
| mic_working | hello. Which video capture card do you recommend for Ubuntu/Linux? | 21:22 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: It used to be nVidia, but I've heard stories of people running Ati great these days as well...I'm running Ati with default graphics....works great...only backlight dimming doesn't work | 21:23 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ow....capture card.... | 21:23 |
| MrChrisDruif | Didn't read you question well :P | 21:23 |

| mic_working | yes MrChrisDruif | 21:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | Analog or digital? | 21:24 |
| mic_working | both | 21:24 |
| mic_working | I dont know how it works | 21:24 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: ie from AV to the computer | 21:25 |
| mic_working | analog right. | 21:25 |
| mic_working | or hdmi to the computer | 21:25 |
| MrChrisDruif | AV? | 21:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: what are you trying to accomplish? :) | 21:26 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: video capturing. | 21:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | From what source? | 21:28 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: from VHS/DVD | 21:28 |
| mic_working | Antena etc | 21:28 |
| mic_working | to the computer | 21:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | Aha... | 21:28 |
| mic_working | ? | 21:28 |
| MrChrisDruif | VHS is at least analog :) | 21:28 |
| mic_working | i know that | 21:28 |
| mic_working | 21:24:31 <MrChrisDruif> Analog or digital? +tronyx | 21:29 |
| MrChrisDruif | You need to know what output your source has ... | 21:29 |
| mic_working | 21:24:37 ::: alphur [~joshua@cpe-76-90-165-115.socal.res.rr.com] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] +UndiFineD | 21:29 |
| mic_working | 21:24:40 <mic_working> both | 21:29 |
| UndiFineD | mic_working: ? | 21:29 |

| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: ok if I want from VHS | 21:29 |
| mic_working | to the computer | 21:29 |
| mic_working | what do I need | 21:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: You need a video capture card which can handle analog input...I'm looking if I can find a list of some sort :) | 21:31 |
| alphur | what | 21:31 |
| mic_working | yeah | 21:31 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html <- this might help... | 21:31 |
| mic_working | I think my nvidia card has a capture thing | 21:31 |
| mic_working | not sure. | 21:31 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: Mythtv is open source project that is focused at video capturing...the link I send should mention things like which hardware is supported and which software you'd need :) | 21:32 |
| mic_working | yeah im reading | 21:33 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gts_250_us.html | 21:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: You've got that card? | 21:41 |
| mic_working | yea | 21:42 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif | 21:42 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, it seems it's only a graphics card mic_working :) | 21:43 |
| mic_working | :) | 21:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Like graphics out only....not in :) | 21:43 |
| mic_working | yeah not in | 21:43 |
| mic_working | :p | 21:43 |
| whyme | hi ! | 21:43 |
| mic_working | hello | 21:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Only Ati used to have TV cards integrated .... All-in-wonders they were called if I remember correct :) | 21:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai whyme :) Why is it you? | 21:44 |
| mic_working | i dont like ati | 21:44 |
| mic_working | :) | 21:45 |
| whyme | yes, ati all in wonder, i was the good old time .... | 21:45 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: http://i52.tinypic.com/2dljaqt.png do you know which app is this to test the speakers id like to reinstall it | 21:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've had an Ati 9700 and now a radeon 3540 or something...passed the all-in-wonders | 21:46 |
| mic_working | because it's not working lol | 21:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: I don't know...never used it....but you're on Ubuntu right? | 21:46 |
| mic_working | yes | 21:47 |
| mic_working | #ubuntu aint help | 21:47 |
| mic_working | too many ppl asking questions few answering | 21:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | You can go to the sound preferences (System > Sound I think) and check which output is selected :) | 21:47 |
| whyme | could some help me with my little firefox/flash/youtube problem ? | 21:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | !ask | 21:48 |
| mic_working | whyme: it's crashing right :) | 21:48 |
| mic_working | firefox update ruined it | 21:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | No !ask?.... whyme: just ask :) | 21:48 |
| aveilleux | MrChrisDruif: No ubot2 in the userlist today :( | 21:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmmm....how's ubot2? Is he sick? | 21:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: Did you find it? | 21:51 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: ei yes.. everything is working | 21:56 |
| mic_working | front and back jacks speakers and mic | 21:56 |
| mic_working | hdmi audio out | 21:57 |
| mic_working | etc | 21:57 |
| mic_working | only the test speakers isnt. | 21:57 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: Who needs "test" speakers? I prefer speakers I can hear :D | 21:59 |
| mic_working | yeah | 21:59 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: it's just I uninstalled stuff related with audio before | 22:00 |
| mic_working | and that stopped working. | 22:00 |
| mic_working | ;( | 22:00 |
| mic_working | if i could reinstall this thing | 22:01 |
| mic_working | maybe it would work again | 22:01 |
| mic_working | dunno. | 22:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | None of your speakers are producing sound? | 22:02 |
| mic_working | they are | 22:02 |
| mic_working | the problem is that application to test the sound | 22:03 |
| mic_working | I press left and right but it doesnt produce sound lol | 22:03 |
| mic_working | and logs dont show information about it | 22:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | Does that application have some output selection setting somewhere? | 22:06 |
| mic_working | no lol | 22:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmmm...I dunno :) | 22:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | But testing application is only for testing....real functioning ALWAYS has my vote over testing :P | 22:07 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: it has an option to select the device i want to test | 22:07 |
| mic_working | analog stereo duplex | 22:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | That's what I meant....output, device to test....same to me :) | 22:08 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: it's some config file that is messed up | 22:08 |
| mic_working | because it works in livecd/fresh install | 22:08 |
| MrChrisDruif | You could try sudo apt-get purge <app-name> -y && sudo apt-get install <app-name> | 22:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | Purge also removes config files | 22:09 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: i dont even know the name of the package | 22:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | The -y suggests yes, so you don't have to confirm you want to purge it... | 22:10 |
| mic_working | gnome-volume-control | 22:10 |
| mic_working | i guess | 22:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | Where could I find this sound testing app? | 22:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | Never heard of it (nor found the need for it :P) | 22:10 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: system preferences sound | 22:10 |
| mic_working | then hardware tab | 22:11 |
| mic_working | choose device and click test | 22:11 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: take a look http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/speaker-setup.html | 22:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | That sound testing thing also doesn't work with me....but I can play music all I want :P | 22:12 |
| mic_working | yeah | 22:13 |
| mic_working | strange | 22:13 |
| mic_working | ll | 22:13 |
| mic_working | it's a bug or something | 22:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah...<_<" | 22:14 |
| mic_working | fvck it | 22:15 |
| mic_working | :p | 22:15 |
| mic_working | god damn | 22:15 |

| MrChrisDruif | Ow....somehow I got it working <_<" | 22:16 |
| mic_working | how?! | 22:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | Somehow my hdmi output was selected <_<" | 22:16 |
| mic_working | hm | 22:16 |
| mic_working | I also hdmi output but it doesnt show in gnome-volume thing | 22:16 |
| mic_working | maybe it's using the hdmi | 22:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | Was playing some movies this afternoon....but was hearing sound on my headphones <_<" | 22:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmmm....it's not configured right I believe...it doesn't overwrite current settings or something.... | 22:18 |
| mic_working | it doesnt with hdmi | 22:19 |
| mic_working | work | 22:19 |
| mic_working | is there a way to "track" what audio device is doing? | 22:20 |
| * MrChrisDruif thinks there is....but doesn't know what app does that :P | 22:21 | |
| mic_working | lol | 22:21 |
| duanedesign | padevcontrol | 22:30 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: i only have pavucontrol | 22:32 |
| mic_working | and there is padevchooser | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | sorry it is pavucontrol | 22:33 |
| mic_working | yes i have it | 22:33 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: it looks like these buttons http://i52.tinypic.com/2dljaqt.png are disabled | 22:34 |
| mic_working | :\ | 22:34 |
| mic_working | padevchooser: | 22:35 |
| mic_working | Depends: paprefs but it is not going to be installed | 22:35 |
| duanedesign | mic_working: i wouldnt worry about it, mine do not work either :P | 22:37 |
| mic_working | bug maybe | 22:38 |
| mic_working | :) | 22:38 |
| duanedesign | i think so | 22:38 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: do you what is this for | 22:38 |
| mic_working | pulseaudio-module-jack | 22:38 |
| duanedesign | it allows pulse audio to talk to the JACK daemon | 22:41 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: do you if it comes already installed in ubuntu? | 22:41 |
| mic_working | know* | 22:41 |
| duanedesign | no, unless you are using UBuntu Studio | 22:43 |
| mic_working | hm ok tks | 22:43 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: btw do you anything about video capture in linux? | 22:43 |
| mic_working | know* (sh!t) | 22:43 |
| duanedesign | I have used PiTiVi | 22:44 |
| duanedesign | the default video editor | 22:44 |
| mic_working | duanedesign: i mean capture from tv/vhs/dvd using a video capture card | 22:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | He really wants to capture video duanedesign :) | 22:44 |
| mic_working | :D | 22:44 |
| MrChrisDruif | I gave him a link to mythtv with supported hardware etc... | 22:44 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: and im also thinking of streaming with VLC | 22:44 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: im from portugal and now they use dvb-t | 22:46 |
| mic_working | but i still dont have it only antenna and iptv | 22:46 |
| duanedesign | mic_working: you could probablly find lots of threads on the forums about that | 22:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ow god....dvb-t....I hope it's better than dvb-t in holland <_<" | 22:46 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: I have a iptv service that uses a box | 22:47 |
| mic_working | it's like a mediacenter but the content inside of it is encrypted | 22:47 |
| mic_working | :p | 22:47 |
| mic_working | Finding cards that will work under a Linux operating system isn't as easy as browsing Amazon for a good choice and checking which operating systems are supported by the device - you will need to do more research based on the type of card and the number of tuners in order to find out if there is a Linux driver suitable for the device. This is a regularly-changing world of information, so there are a couple of websites that you should vi | 22:49 |
| mic_working | linuxtv.org | 22:50 |
| mic_working | http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information | 22:50 |
| mic_working | Video Disk Recorder, also known as Linux VDR, a software to record and store digital video on a Linux computer | 22:51 |
| mic_working | good? | 22:52 |
| metta | that isn't really ubuntu related, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic mic_working | 22:56 |
| mic_working | it's linux related lol | 23:02 |
| MrChrisDruif | What? | 23:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | mic_working: Also PVR is used (Personal Video Recorder) | 23:05 |
| mic_working | MrChrisDruif: im watching a video about vlc streaming | 23:06 |
| mic_working | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e58m-UAbZoE | 23:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Good going... mic_working | 23:06 |
| mic_working | lol | 23:06 |
| mic_working | streaming music | 23:38 |
| mic_working | lol | 23:38 |
