[00:26] how can i edit my grub menu to show the name of the operating system as something different [00:27] backtrack5 shows up as ubuntu 2.6.38 [00:30] lolz... Backtrack5 [00:31] philipballew: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 [00:32] its the best system to monitor my network. my nirghbors use our internet and i dont want to have the cops show up at our door so i monitor all websites and downloads, then flagg it with things. kinda like opendns [00:33] but yes, it does have a bad rap! [00:34] Oh... I finally got the druggies in few apts down from me to stop... [00:35] I changed my essid to IB_Surveillance_Van_8 [00:36] haha, was it not password protected? [00:36] Yes, but when people would scan it would show up. [00:41] oh i see. so its a hidden network. im trying to set up my router to only log pre approved mac address with a rsa type key [00:41] probably gonna ddwrt the router [00:41] the drug lords must have figured out how to scan wifi [00:42] lol [02:16] How do I find out how much time several videos on my hard drive add up to? [02:18] r4y: i would probably just que them up in something [02:18] I know that if I right click one of the videos it will say how long a video is, so other then adding their time together. [02:18] I ried Banshee but no go [02:18] as well as mplayer [02:18] there is a calculator ;) [02:19] * holstein looks around [02:19] * IAmNotThatGuy looks at the side [02:20] rhythym box is doing it with audio... [02:20] Hmm, I am not sure what might work for queing them up, so guess I with add their total, thank you for responding. I will try rhythmbox out in a sec [02:21] There are 2 to pick from? [02:22] OK, never mind [02:22] yeah, if you're too lazy to add, just drop em here, and i'll do it :) [02:23] Well, it didn't work. I meant never mind to which rhythmbox to choose from using open with [02:25] yeah, rhythymbox doesnt do video right? [02:25] im just saying, it has that summing funcionality in the playlist [02:25] VLC doesnt seem to [02:25] totem didnt [02:26] you tried banshee and mplayer [02:26] I just tried smplayer as well [02:27] Right, rhythm box is for music, I was just trying [02:28] I even tried soundconverter, it's cool, it's not a big deal to add it together. It would be neat to be able to find out how long through a queing of some sort. I try to find out little things like this. It's fun to find out. Thank you for talking with me. [02:29] sure [02:29] yeah, now i want to know too :) [02:30] Might be possible with a script perhaps. [02:32] relevant http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/3612/get-the-total-length-of-all-video-audio-in-the-current-dir-and-below-in-hms [02:33] I downloaded a bunch of Angry Video Game Nerd with the AVGN vs the Nostalgia Critic and That Guy with the Glasses because my brother is coming and I am not sure he will want to watch them all because he sort of has ADD [02:34] Yes, perfect, I need to go and do chores, so I will have to try it out later, TY [02:35] Bookmarked [02:35] Thank you ver much [03:49] The second command from the link you gave me worked. The first command may need to be changed a little in my case. I tried removing the avi part, but it doesn't matter because the second command worked. 1h:27m:55s [03:52] I even calculated the time roughly and I had about 1.46, 1 being an hour and 46 minutes, so I don't know how my math was wrong, but I tried. [03:53] Hmm, I should try again I guess [03:53] TY, you it worked. Now if I can get my own math right, lol. [03:55] Dang it, I have to go to the store. I am going to try an online calculator for time. === [styx] is now known as styx|food === styx|food is now known as [styx] [08:59] Question - which version of Ubuntu would best suit a Toshiba Satellite laptop?
