[00:33] AlanBell: so i've mostly got blending working with melt [00:33] i could do a thing where it puts on the name of the person, the subject, and the date over a suitable blank space in the title clip [00:34] something along those lines [00:34] they would come from a text file or something [02:11] i just installed ubuntu 11.04, but near the end of the installation i got the message "unable to install bootloader" so i chose to proceed without installing the bootloader, and when the install process was finished, i was prompted to reboot, only to find that i got booted into windows, how do i solve this? [02:23] boot the livecd again, chroot into the ubuntu install, and install grub manually [02:26] ah, i figured out the odd unity behaviour... this is funny [02:27] if a window is on the bottom row of workspaces and it overlaps the bottom edge, it comes back on the top workspace [02:27] then if you are on the top workspace and you click the launcher, unity thinks the window is on the top workspace [02:27] even though only maybe 1 pixel of it is visible [02:28] so then you don't get taken to the bottom workspace where *most* of the window is [02:28] and it looks like nothing happened [07:49] morning all [07:50] morning [07:54] openshot is full to bursting of awesome [08:14] how does it compare to the piviti update? (as that now comes with effects doesn't it?) [08:15] btw - was wondering as there's no use listening to any fans of Apple since to them it's all new - but was there anything *new* announced instead of replications of stuff that already exist elsewhere? [08:16] Morning all [08:16] I don't think pitivi has effects beyond a simple fade [08:17] that's because there isn't a company behind it that has power! [08:17] *ahem* [08:17] openshot has nice effects, a fast user interface, and fully awesome blender integration (which will be more awesome in Oneirirc with a new enough blender to get that working by default) [08:18] and openshot does chroma key for bluescreen fun [08:21] ooh nice [08:21] * MartijnVdS has a green shirt that should work well :) [08:26] I'm sure I read that a new version of piviti have just been released with plenty of effects, one which include bluescreen? Not sure, let me check their blog [08:27] JGJones: If by "bluescreen" you mean it crashes a lot, sure [08:27] ;) [08:27] but agree...openshot is full of awesome :) [08:27] good morning [08:31] http://thiblahute.blogspot.com/2011/05/pitivi-pre-release.html - it's good at least to see that piviti is still in development at least, so we don't only have openshot - chroma key as well [08:31] doesn't go into details about what effects though [08:32] will try it out later. See if it crash a lot less :D [08:39] good news...pitivi didn't crash within minutes. [08:39] Openshot is still more awesome [09:02] Hi! Is there any off-topic channel ? [09:02] like #ubuntu-de-offtopic [09:05] !ot | djszapi [09:05] djszapi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:05] djszapi: off-topic chat is fine in here, as long as it is CoC-friendly and doesn't get in the way of people offering suppoort [09:05] support [09:06] 5well, I have uk related question, #ubuntu-offtopic is not really the best [09:07] djszapi: Thats an understatement, it can be a bit off the wall in there [09:12] morning :) [09:12] anyone using amazon s3? [09:30] hello all [09:38] JGJones: yeah, I couldn't find any details of the supported effects, you would at least think there would be someone saying "woot, we have a star wipe!!!" or something like that [09:41] morning all [09:43] morning popey how are you today? [09:50] tickety boo === denny- is now known as denny === dogmatic69 is now known as googleBot2 [09:56] at last Matt Assay is talking about Ubuntu http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/07/ubuntu_sexy_nun_netbooks/ === googleBot2 is now known as dogmatic69 [10:25] Is anyone else having problems with Firefox 4 saying that they don't have any extensions? [10:26] mfraz74: i had that problem [10:26] lost everything [10:27] and after installing them all again, restarting it, they were all gone again [10:27] dogmatic69: I keep having it. Only way I've found so far is to download a new extension. Firefox then finds all my previous ones [10:27] switched back to chrome [10:28] I recently changed the IP of one of my servers and whenever I log in it displays two versions of the "welcome" screen. The second version has the old IP on it. How do I remove it? [10:29] the second one also says "System information as of Fri May 13 15:32:01 BST 2011" [10:29] TheAshMan: have you tried asking in ubuntu-server? [10:29] nope [10:36] I suspect cping /etc/motd elsewhere will get rid of the first one [10:37] but I know there's non-standard things going on there on a ubuntu server [10:37] and I've never looked at them in any detail other than seeing them on login [10:37] BigRedS: Yeah, you're right. Sorted it out === kazade is now known as lukeb === lukeb is now known as kazade [10:45] morning everyone. [10:46] er, mving rather than cping [10:46] but I imaginne you guessed that [10:46] g'morning brobostigon! [10:46] morning BigRedS [10:53] we might not have the best update process in the world, its kinda annoying sometimes. but my 3ds is updating and it makes a constant beep as it does so, at least we do don't do that ;) [10:54] * popey files a wishlist bug [10:55] "there is no ubuntu mascot running across my screen as i update. plz fix kthx" [11:07] morning all and good morning czajkowski [11:12] does anyone who knows anything about the firefox search stuff know how to get it to search google.co.uk instead of .com? [11:12] somewhere in about:conf IIRC [11:12] that's a specific as I know [11:13] gord: i thought it went to .com and then redirects to .co.uk based on IP geolocation [11:14] popey, searching through the search box in the top right? nope [11:14] although when i'm travelling it does send me to random countries google.. geez i don't know how it works [11:15] mine goes to .co.uk on windows here [11:15] right, its a cookie [11:16] i then click "go to google.com" immediately below the search box, and do a new search and the results are shown on google.com, not .co.uk [11:17] still can't force it to go to .co.uk =\ [11:19] ask keybuk ☺ [11:21] heh went and tried to get an extension to manually set it, they don't work for firefox 6. serves me right [11:23] Open-sourced blueprints for civilization - http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/marcin_jakubowski.html - Another project adopting the open-source model; nice! [11:25] Ironic, however, given this particular talk including open source, that at the beginning of the film it says: " This inspired thinking shared with you by MICROSOFT" lol [11:26] nice to see microsoft acknowledge that open-source is inpsired thinking and supporting it! :p [11:28] firefox *6*? [11:28] yup [11:29] there is also a firefox 7 if you want that ;) [11:29] heh. FF4's broken enough things for me :) [11:29] firefox 5 is the new beta for the next release, stuff lands in there from, firefox 6. firefox 6 is where they try out new UI ideas, stuff lands in there from, firefox 7, thats the dailies, thar be dragons ;) [11:30] its a nice system really [11:37] gord: it's just a shame that they are facing irrelevance in the face of Chrome ;) [11:38] anyone here able to help with a Nvidia problem ? [11:38] gord & popey - if you travel on North East rail where they do free wifi - Google goes to the Swedish page (language and all) [11:38] ubuntubhoy: maybe state your problem and someone will [11:39] Got a mate who has install 11.04, working fine, but he uses a TV as his monitor [11:39] its widescreen but is detected as a generic monitor so only gives him 4:3 [11:39] he installed the vidia drivers? [11:39] any way to force the widecreen resolutions ? [11:40] yeah, he is using the prop drivers [11:40] tried adding a monitor section to xorg.conf [11:40] he using the nvidia tool to manage the graphics? or the default management tool? [11:40] with 3 widescreen res options, but without luck [11:41] TheAshMan, just checking [11:42] https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/open-wireless-movement [11:55] skype ~= broken [12:01] TheAshMan, sorry for the delay, he tried both, and got the same result from each, 4:3 resolutions only [12:17] :) [12:17] issyl0: :) [12:17] matti: ! [12:18] matti: How are you? [12:18] issyl0: OK :) [12:18] issyl0: You? [12:19] afternoonings matti :) [12:19] Hey brobostigon-san ;] [12:20] :) [12:20] matti: Very tired. :-( [12:21] * matti hugs issyl0 [12:21] matti: *hugs* [12:21] ;D [12:25] TheAshMan, any idea's ? [12:25] Hi there [12:26] \o everyone [12:26] o/ MartijnVdS [12:26] I have a USB drive, partitioned to NTFS, but I can't mount it cause it wasn't removed properly [12:26] How can I fix this? [12:26] d3ngar_: have you tried the disk utility? [12:26] No, what disk utility? [12:28] d3ngar_: which version of Ubuntu do you use? [12:28] 10.10 [12:28] I found the disk utility [12:28] ok :) [12:28] But I don't know what to do with it :) [12:28] File System is clean [12:28] d3ngar_: select the disk, then the partition on it, and select the option to check for errors [12:29] Already done [12:29] d3ngar_: you might have to put it in a Windows machine, "safely remove" it and try again [12:29] Disk is clean [12:29] I don't have a Windows machine :) [12:29] d3ngar_: was it "Clean" before? or did it become clean after checking? [12:29] I don't know [12:29] There was no errors [12:30] I just pulled it off my netbook and put it in my laptop :D [12:30] And now I can't access it [12:30] d3ngar_: try clicking the "Mount" option [12:30] Tried, it's not working [12:30] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). [12:30] Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error [12:30] NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a [12:30] SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows [12:30] then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very [12:30] important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate [12:30] it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. [12:30] /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation [12:30] for more details. [12:30] Sorry to spam [12:30] !paste | d3ngar_ [12:30] d3ngar_: Pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [12:31] Any ideas? [12:31] d3ngar_: mapper/nvidia -- that's not the USB disk [12:31] d3ngar_: that's some motherboard RAID bit [12:31] Well [12:31] d3ngar_: make sure you've selected the correct disk on the left side [12:31] I don't care for that [12:32] I care for my stick [12:32] It's not a SoftRAID or anything like that [12:32] It's just a memory stick [12:32] d3ngar_: Your stick is also not /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1 [12:32] No [12:32] That's a big f*cking if [12:32] d3ngar_: Please click your USB stick in the left panel of the disk manager [12:33] But this if is not valid [12:33] And then what? [12:33] d3ngar_: THEN select the check option [12:33] d3ngar_: and/or the mount option on the right side [12:33] Already did [12:33] It's not working [12:33] The above error message [12:33] !softraid [12:34] d3ngar_: Then I have no idea, sorry [12:34] Thanks though :) [12:34] There was a way to force mount the drive, no? [12:34] d3ngar_, does it still work in the netbook ? [12:34] No, unfortunately I get the same error [12:34] I take it you need the data on it ? [12:35] Kinda :S [12:35] Well, it's still on the netbook too [12:35] what does gparted say when you select it form there [12:35] from* [12:35] But I should be able to mount this with some force parameter [12:35] d3ngar_: it shouldn't give you the "nvidia" error message if you selected the right disk on the lef.t [12:36] MartijnVdS: Definitely is the right device ;) [12:36] try gparted [12:36] see what info it gives you [12:37] It keeps saying to run chkdsk twice [12:37] But I don't have Windows [12:38] Shouldn't have gone with the NTFS partition, I guess... [12:38] why is it setup as an ntfs disk then ? [12:38] makes no sense [12:38] Because a large mem-stick comes pre-formated as NTFS [12:39] so you re-format when you get it [12:39] especially as you dont use windows [12:40] Yes, thanks for the hindsight :P [12:40] :P [12:41] I tried force mounting it, but I get the same error [12:41] :( [12:41] re-partition, and format, then just copy the shit over again [12:41] Yeah [12:42] will probably be quicker than trying to find a Win PC to use [12:42] d3ngar_: install ntfsprogs, it contains /usr/bin/ntfsfix [12:42] d3ngar_: run that on your partition [12:42] But now I'm also worried about the big 2 TB external HD I got [12:42] it's NTFS too :( [12:42] Who knows, one power cut... [12:42] d3ngar_: never uncleanly unmount [12:42] Thanks Martijn, I try this [12:42] or always use Windows [12:43] popey, the membership board meeting is today at 9pm UK time - right? [12:44] Game on! [12:44] ntfsfix did the job! [12:44] d3ngar_: woohoo [12:44] Yes [12:45] d3ngar_: time to migrate to a proper filesystem now ;) [12:45] Yes [12:45] victorp: this meeting? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/EMEA [12:45] but what to do with my big 2 TB hard disk? [12:45] I guess I leave it for now [12:45] Don't have space to put it anywhere else [12:45] MooDoo, ack - that one [12:45] Thanks [12:48] victorp: :) [12:48] MooDoo, I guess that the time remains the same regardless of BST [12:49] victorp: a useful tool - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=7&month=6&year=2011&hour=20&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 [12:49] so 8pm utx is actually 9pm due to BST [12:50] i think [12:50] :) [12:50] yes [12:50] thanks [12:50] welcome [12:51] davmor2: oi you, why you so quiet? [12:51] MooDoo: Busy dude I'm afraid [12:51] davmor2: pah! that's a new one :p [13:03] oooo looks like you can get ubuntu membership for contributions within the irc area....cool [13:03] I can contribute cows [13:04] does that count? [13:04] Laney: ubuntu branded cows? [13:04] MooBuntu? [13:04] could be [13:04] victorp: yes [13:26] anyway to talk to iChat people with empathy? [13:29] I tend to talk to them with condescension [13:29] ;) [13:32] hahaha [13:33] ah, back on 10.10 [13:33] Much quicker [13:33] diplo: than? [13:34] 11.04 [13:34] One thing after another was going wrong [13:35] Nothing seemed to work correctly :( [13:35] Defo a nvidia issue, needed the PC day to day [13:36] dogmatic69: if they're anywhere near recent, it should just be jabber [13:36] shauno: the office is full of them, just cant see them [13:37] ah .. no idea how you'd find them if they're using bonjour rather than a server [13:37] thought empathy should do it, since it replaced jabber [13:38] apt-get install jabber [13:38] now what? [13:41] looks like you need an empathy plugin called salut - http://linux.die.net/man/8/telepathy-salut [13:41] that adds XEP-0174 to empathy, which is xmpp/jabber without a server [13:43] (atleast, I assume empathy uses telepathy .. I'm kinda outta touch with most of that) [13:44] dogmatic69: did you setup a local user name at the end of the setup process? [13:44] davmor2: did not ask anything [13:45] it used to work out the box 9.10 iirc [13:45] 10.10 nothing [13:45] just used to use my msn account and it connected to all the mac's in the office [13:46] dogmatic69: in empathy open accounts and click on add and select people nearby, the default for this part used to be accept no it is not accept [13:47] under people nearby add you username and real name and that should be it done [13:48] davmor2: ah [13:48] nice that works [13:49] davmor2: that connects to bonjour or something though. good enough [13:51] dogmatic69: that is the one that mac uses for local networks as I say when you used to create an account it was added by default they changed that behaviour which is a bit sucky [13:51] dogmatic69: windows does something similar but only when using certain applications for connection [13:52] ah ok [13:52] i see [13:52] anyone used that thingy for using one mouse/kb across many pc's [13:52] almost like vm but real pc's [13:57] hmm I know what you mean but the name escapes me [13:57] synergy? [13:57] can't see that being like VMs, though, you still have one monitor per PC [13:58] yes :) or atleast, that's the one I'm thinking of [13:58] * hamitron loves synergy [13:58] yeah [13:58] I'd rather have multiple PC and displays, using synergy, than twinview tbh [13:58] that's still the pinnacle of my "Someone really should have solved this problem by now.... OH MAN SOMEONE DID!" [13:59] only bad thing I've found, some anti-cheat stuff for games doesn't like it [14:00] ahh, 'cause it hooks into the keyboard drivers [14:00] yeh [14:00] hamitron: you cheat at games wuss [14:00] :-o [14:00] I do spend money on hardware to gain an advantage.... [14:00] so yes [14:00] ;) [14:01] popey, thanks [14:01] but if you want to see how often I complete things, just check out the station on the minecraft server [14:01] :/ [14:02] hamitron: I only look at walkthroughs from time to time when I get really stuck on the whole hack and slash games are pretty easy look for the area with no dead bodies and that's where you haven't been [14:02] I never follow walk through [14:02] :) [14:02] but there again, it is pretty simple working out how to win in a racing game..... [14:03] hamitron: come last over and over again right? [14:03] I also never play single player games [14:03] damn it! don't tell everyone ;/ [14:04] out of 26 racers, a good result for me is top 6 :/ [14:04] so not the fastest no, but I'd say I am consistent and fair :) [14:26] does this look like bash? https://gist.github.com/726915 [14:27] yeah [14:27] elif, esac give it away [14:27] er, fi and esac [14:27] cool [14:27] trying to figure out how to make this work [14:28] anyone have problems with banshee ? [14:29] jimR_: yes lots [14:30] they scream a lot don't they? [14:30] is there anything out there that will sync to a media player other than banshee ... that does not [14:30] rhythmbox? [14:31] jimR_: it depends if the media player is supported when you plug it in does it say do you want to open this in banshee? [14:32] yes it does and it appears in the device pane [14:33] jimR_: In that case try Rhythmbox good chance it'll work [14:36] I have just changed over from windoze for media manipulation I'll download RB and see what it does [14:40] just installed RB it does not run ! [14:42] what does it do?

[14:57] me in 5 tags? hrmm.... [15:05] hi! does anyone know how to install itunes on ubuntu so i can get it to talk to my iphone? since i've moved to ubuntu i've had no success in connecting it at all - it is a jailbroken 3gs [15:05] I can't even be arsed to use Facebook (I actually deleted my account...much better) so I doubt I'll even use dispora too :) [15:06] MiLLo, I'm afraid you're out of luck - you cannot get iTunes on Ubuntu, Apple does not release a version of iTunes for it. [15:06] JGJones: wine [15:06] ? [15:06] MiLLo, also, don't attempt to run it through Wine, Wine has no USB support [15:07] :) [15:07] Last I checked iTunes doesn't run that well at all on Wine (unless it's a very old version of iTunes) [15:07] damnit! [15:07] what is my best alternative then? [15:07] rhythmbox? [15:08] Banshee or Rhythmbox [15:08] Would itunes in a Windows VM work [15:08] DJones, yup it would [15:08] I've found Rhythmbox to be more reliable with an iPhone than Banshee [15:08] MooDoo: don't you like banshee [15:08] should do [15:08] i'm not too fussed about itunes specifically, but i have a program - "mywi" which allows free tethering, and it apparently requires installation of itunes [15:08] davmor2: not really looked at it as rythmbox works fine for me [15:08] i did try banshee/rhythmbox - but it comes up with mounting errors every time i try [15:08] MooDoo: haha [15:09] Rhythmbox/Banshee can connect to iPhone but it only sync songs (and photos too I think) but nothing else, ie iOS updates. [15:09] davmor2: is banshee that much better? [15:09] MooDoo: I hate it [15:10] davmor2: well i'm not going to try it on the very recommendation ;) [15:10] i've just connected iphone to ubuntu [15:11] "unable to mount millo's iphone" "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" [15:11] it's probably an obvious error, but i'm relatively new to ubuntu and i've spent the last 5-6 weeks with no internet - wifi issues (another, long, annoying story) [15:11] MooDoo: don't get me wrong it has some really good points but for some reason it has stupidly sucky points that invalidate the good points [15:15] http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-discontinues-its-first.html [15:15]
