[00:26] <philipballew> how can i edit my grub menu to show the name of the operating system as something different
[00:27] <philipballew> backtrack5 shows up as ubuntu 2.6.38
[00:30] <DarkwingDuck> lolz... Backtrack5
[00:31] <DarkwingDuck> philipballew: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602
[00:32] <philipballew> 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] <philipballew> but yes, it does have a bad rap!
[00:34] <DarkwingDuck> Oh... I finally got the druggies in few apts down from me to stop...
[00:35] <DarkwingDuck> I changed my essid to IB_Surveillance_Van_8
[00:36] <philipballew> haha, was it not password protected?
[00:36] <DarkwingDuck> Yes, but when people would scan it would show up.
[00:41] <philipballew> 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] <philipballew> probably gonna ddwrt the router
[00:41] <philipballew> the drug lords must have figured out how to scan wifi
[00:42] <DarkwingDuck> lol
[02:16] <r4y> How do I find out how much time several videos on my hard drive add up to?
[02:18] <holstein> r4y: i would probably just que them up in something
[02:18] <r4y> 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] <r4y> I ried Banshee but no go
[02:18] <r4y> as well as mplayer
[02:18] <holstein> there is a calculator ;)
[02:19]  * holstein looks around
[02:19]  * IAmNotThatGuy looks at the side
[02:20] <holstein> rhythym box is doing it with audio...
[02:20] <r4y> 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] <r4y> There are 2 to pick from?
[02:22] <r4y> OK, never mind
[02:22] <holstein> yeah, if you're too lazy to add, just drop em here, and i'll do it :)
[02:23] <r4y> Well, it didn't work. I meant never mind to which rhythmbox to choose from using open with
[02:25] <holstein> yeah, rhythymbox doesnt do video right?
[02:25] <holstein> im just saying, it has that summing funcionality in the playlist
[02:25] <holstein> VLC doesnt seem to
[02:25] <holstein> totem didnt
[02:26] <holstein> you tried banshee and mplayer
[02:26] <r4y> I just tried smplayer as well
[02:27] <r4y> Right, rhythm box is for music, I was just trying
[02:28] <r4y> 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] <holstein> sure
[02:29] <holstein> yeah, now i want to know too :)
[02:30] <r4y> Might be possible with a script perhaps.
[02:32] <holstein> 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] <r4y> 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] <r4y> Yes, perfect, I need to go and do chores, so I will have to try it out later, TY
[02:35] <r4y> Bookmarked
[02:35] <r4y> Thank you ver much
[03:49] <r4y> 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] <r4y> 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] <r4y> Hmm, I should try again I guess
[03:53] <r4y> TY, you it worked. Now if I can get my own math right, lol.
[03:55] <r4y> Dang it, I have to go to the store. I am going to try an online calculator for time.
[08:59] <Ubuntu-firsttime> Question - which version of Ubuntu would best suit a Toshiba Satellite laptop?
 T2300 processor - 1 mb ram
 have installed 11.4 but seems to run very slow
 Can anyone help?
[08:59] <bioterror> 1MB is bad ;)
[08:59] <Ubuntu-firsttime> :(
[09:00] <bioterror> try 11.04
[09:00] <bioterror> why is it slow?
[09:00] <Ubuntu-firsttime> sorry yes 11.04 is installed
[09:00] <bioterror> !xubuntu | Ubuntu-firsttime
[09:00] <ubot2> Ubuntu-firsttime: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[09:02] <Ubuntu-firsttime> sorry to both you
[09:03] <Ubuntu-firsttime> bother
[09:18]  * nlsthzn has run all distro's on a similar Toshiba and it is plenty fast enough to handle any of them...

[20:44] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[20:45] <kristian-aalborg> looking to rename some movies via imdb - I got the imdb-tools package, but it makes a dotfile out of the input file (.avi)
[20:45] <kristian-aalborg> it looks unmaintained, I guess imdb changed the API
[20:45] <kristian-aalborg> anybody know another way to do this?
[20:58] <kristian-aalborg> http://photos.wiju.es/1/7/6/1/6/3/2/6/969a6e7b8395eb5179591e275ca1355a.jpg <--- anybody know if somebody's selling a keyboard similar to this nowadays?
[20:59] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: i saw one at the charity shop the other day :)
[21:00] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, make and model=
[21:00] <kristian-aalborg> ?
[21:00] <kristian-aalborg> this is not #lol, you know :P
[21:04] <holstein> kristian-aalborg: you mean the kind that bows up in the middle like that?
[21:04] <holstein> or a particular brand?
[21:05] <holstein> im not interested in them, so i didnt really pay much attention, but i see them at the used places all the time
[21:05] <holstein> i remember getting on in, and dropping it off at the charity shop too
[21:05] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, the kind that splits in the middle - with keys in the "spacer"
[21:05] <kristian-aalborg> brand is not important
[21:06] <kristian-aalborg> (not for me, for someone I know)
[21:06] <holstein> i dont recall ever seeing a black one
[21:06] <holstein> the one i had was really nice... silver and wireless
[21:10] <kristian-aalborg> color is not important, either
[21:10] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, I shall be seeing a good bass player on monday :)
[21:11] <holstein> cool... whos that?
[21:12] <kristian-aalborg> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EptLbfjG_9o
[21:15] <kristian-aalborg> his name's Scott Firth... you could say that he's "freeloading" on Jah Wobble etc as he's "only" doing live stuff and have not written the songs
[21:16] <RRRRube> kristian-aalborg If you search for Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard, you should find someone selling them
[21:18] <kristian-aalborg> RRRRube, thanks
[21:18] <kristian-aalborg> the one on the picture is made by Trust, btw
[21:20] <RRRRube> I used to have one a while ago, but I got fed up with it :)
[21:21] <kristian-aalborg> I *might* get an IBM model M next time, just to keep it real
[21:21] <kristian-aalborg> ;)
[21:22] <RRRRube> LOL!
[21:22] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, do you like the music?
[21:22]  * holstein listening
[21:22] <holstein> i got busy..
[21:22] <RRRRube> I actually have an ancient MS keyboard that I've been using forever. MS got a lot of flack but I think they actually make decent keyboards (or they used to anyway)
[21:22] <kristian-aalborg> RRRRube, yes, it will look good with my green Terminus font ;)
[21:23] <RRRRube> Oh, you're so hardcore LOL
[21:24] <holstein> hmmm... well my mom always told me 'if you dont have anything nice to say...' ;)
[21:24] <holstein> its not bad, its just not my thing
[21:25] <kristian-aalborg> yeah, not for everyone
[21:25] <holstein> well, thats kinda my issue.. i would argue that it is exactly constructed for *everyone*
[21:25] <kristian-aalborg> bass dude has worked with Toni Braxton, the Spice Girls, Elvis Costello... pretty much everyone
[21:26] <holstein> but, thats just my opinion*
[21:26] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, please expand on that
[21:26] <holstein> we should go to -team ->
[21:27] <kristian-aalborg> likely ;)
