I added Paul McEnry's PPA and did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. It's recognizing the ipod's plugged in, but won't let me do anything with it in Banshee. [13:21] I know it's a noobish question, but I've really tried to find it on Google first [13:24] *bump [13:27] scott__, why noobish question ? :) its not, sadly i cant help i do not have ipod and im not using banshee :D [13:28] soee, it's okay...I just hate asking for help :D [13:34] hmmm.. I have a print job in the print queue that I canceled, but it doesn't disappear and even survived a reboot.. at least it doesn't block the printer though (11.04, KDE 4.6.4 from kubuntu-ppa, HPLIP w/ HP LaserJet 1100) === KeKs is now known as Freakos [14:10] Hiyas [14:21] hi [14:24] hi mtngan88 and BluesKaj [14:24] hi everyone! Anyone know where flash player is located... it was working fine yesterday but I got an update for chromium (daily build ppa) and it seems to have killed it :S [14:25] I downloaded flash from adobe website but where I am meant to place the files... tried using the search tool but hasnt turned anything up :S [14:25] hi PythonSnake [14:27] S74rk7, have you tried reinstalling flashplugin-installer ...chromoium daily build is also to blame btw ..if you want stability use the default version [14:29] yeah...gonna change to stable ppa - thought it to be more secure to use the daily build ppa... security wise n all that... [14:29] lol [14:29] BluesKaj: I ran sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer --- says its already the latest version... [14:30] daily/nightly build = bleeding edge, work in progress.. chances are that it doesn't even work [14:31] S74rk7, security wise? ..run , sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer [14:31] szal: we'll have to say it seems to have been fine up until now... but you'd b right... it isnt working... :) [14:32] BluesKaj: Respect my friend! Cured it - and a neat trick I've now learnt... reinstall things... thanking you kindly... [14:33] S74rk7, np :) [14:34] BluesKaj: Just a question though... that flashplugin ... is that system wide?? as in... does it work for rekonq n everything too... or with the likes of rekonq and firefox because they're installed as plugins I presume they're stored within some config files under /.mozilla n that? [14:35] yes, it's global [14:36] flashplugin is a bit of a misnomer [14:38] BluesKaj: flashplugin is a bit of a misnomer ... meaning? (and I dont mean the word misnomer haha) [14:38] its not used globally all the time or something? [14:38] that what you mean... because firefox can use its own plugin? [14:39] it'ss more than just a plugin [14:39] ppl think it's just a link but it also contains the player afiak [14:40] yeah I'd imagined it as platform as such... you know.. like a programing language that can be used for playing video ... audo ... and interactive content... [14:40] same as you.. [14:41] you mean people just think of it as a media player for youtube? [14:41] and sites likewise.. [14:41] "plugin" refers to the way a program uses the software, it's just a software library that is loaded on-demand [14:42] tsimpson: ahh get you now.. thanks for that :) [14:42] makes sense the name "plugin" now :) [14:43] technically, "extension" would be a more descriptive word for that kind of thing === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [14:46] yeah , the flashplayer itself is contained in restricted-extras package [14:49] how would I go about restarting kde? When it seems to glitch out?? Just logout and back in? [14:49] what I mean by glitching out... you know if you right click and the drop down menu does quiet draw correctly... [14:50] takes you to move the mouse over it to tidy it up... [14:50] or I try to restore a window after it being minimized... and it brings the window up but its just a shade... transparent.. [14:54] there are a few odd glitches with kde 4.6.3.and .4, but they seem different for different users...depends on graphics cards/drivers etc [14:55] and desktop settings of coursew [14:55] have you tried disabeling desktop effects? [14:59] Nah.. its a pretty much an out of the box setup.. try turning off desktop effects now ---pity though.. visually pleasing as it is :D [15:00] I'm going back to "Linuxfromscratch" to do a bit of homework lol... no easy way to learn linux ... always end up having to backtrack and learn something else lol [15:00] cool though! :) [15:03] 1 last question and I'll leave you all in peace :) ---- anyone any suggestions for an offline blogging client in linux... [15:03] personal recommendations and all that welcome! [15:20] hmmm.. I have a print job in the print queue that I canceled, but it doesn't disappear and even survived a reboot.. at least it doesn't block the printer though (11.04, KDE 4.6.4 from kubuntu-ppa, HPLIP w/ HP LaserJet 1100) [15:34] anyone around who can help with a sound issue?

[15:44] also koyote do you have pulseaudio installed ? [15:44] BluesKaj: yep. [15:45] PythonSnake, no I'm not an op [15:45] ok can you whois me ? [15:45] koyote, ok what about pavucontrol ? [15:46] PythonSnake, I whois'd you ...what is it you need to know? [15:46] hang on [15:46] BluesKaj: I want to hide ip and things [15:48] pavucontrol is installing [15:48] PythonSnake, join #freenode and ask the ops there to cloak you , your nick has to be registered first tho [15:48] ok i'll try thanks BluesKaj [15:48] By the way is rekonq or firefox faster ? [15:49] dunno..don't use them [15:50] okay, now that pavucontrol is installed, what's next? [15:51] setup pavucontrol settings for mics if it sees them [15:51] okay, let's see what happens [15:57] okay, the microphone in the webcam is showing in pavucontrol, with obvious detection of ambient [15:57] the internal analog is present but nothign I do hooking up a microphone seems to work [15:57] (under input devices in pavucontrol) === leon is now known as Guest39832 [15:59] just not getting anything [16:04] pulseaudio pavucontrol used to be a requirement for skype audio to work .. not sure if that's stil the case , some have skype working without pulseaudio and pavucontrol installed ...skype works with alsamixer in some cases ...the mics should work on their own with alsamixer [16:04] koyote, ^ [16:04] skype is insisting my only option ins pulseaudio [16:04] and pavucontrol is registering mic input [16:06] well koyote, personally i don't use pulseaudio , alsamixer fits my needs and skype static works well with it , not requiring pulseaudio [16:07] I can possibly do that. have to check [16:07] pulseaudio is basically redundant on integrated sound cards ...it's meant for fancier pci soundcards that have a lot of options [16:15] pulse seems to have been a default installation. [16:18] koyote, yes, unfortunately ...there are some canonical politics behind that decision :) [16:18] well, I can just remove packages....... alsa is present, so do I need to add anything before I reset? [16:20] well, dunno if your skype version works with alsa , but if not try the static version [16:20] BBL === etriaph is now known as Erthe [16:21] G'day [16:22] Does anyone know how to edit the labels displayed for places in Dolphin?

[17:13] chachan: do I need to install krandrtray? or is it installed? [17:14] I guess you don't have to, but you can try executing it [17:15] chachan: lol, well, that seems to be the exact same settings as in the system configuration -> monitors and it was installed [17:16] I can't seem to change it in there either [17:55] chachan: ok, got it, but I had to cheat! I took a different xorg.conf file that I had from a different install, and used that, now I'm in good shape, poor solution, but worked.

[18:19] he told me that i got bugged after installing some media player [18:21] it seems that sound package got reinstalled to jack, and pulse is now disabled [18:22] proog: how did you disable pulse? [18:23] I dont know it isnt my PC, but he told me that he installed some alsa packages [18:23] it is no matter [18:23] alsa is base for pulse [18:23] pulse wont work without it [18:24] is there ~/.pulse/client.conf?

[19:00] juso, yea or osx.now go install your os [19:01] Do you guys just chose hardware/software to work with linux - instead of just choosing it because of the actually features of the hardware/software? [19:01] well, we can't do much about the fact that sofware that's written for OS X or Windows doesn't work right in linux...

[19:33] tried in the off-topic channels but theres rows going on in there too :) [19:33] Deltaiuhui: yeah..? [19:34] S74rk7, just use ubuntu server edition [19:34] ohh.. [19:34] have you tried it?

[22:59] for a portable 64 bit [23:00] Kubuntu [23:00] 11.04? [23:00] Yes, for the latest stuff. If you want stability, you can choose 10.04. [23:01] can I encrypt the system partition with 10.04? [23:02] Yes [23:02] ok thnks [23:02] soziety: You're welcome. :) [23:04] Hi fro [23:38] hello. I have a pretty large movie collection (mostly DVD's of TV shows) that I'd like to rip. Right now I'm making iso files of all the discs but I'd like to have another, smaller copy for streaming. I downloaded k9copy to try and to that but it's giving me some issues. Has anybody here tried this before? [23:48] !k9copy [23:48] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:48] !k9copy | areichman [23:48] areichman: please see above [23:48] what would be the best/fastest way to transfer a 44 GB file off my computer onto another that is on the same LAN [23:49] PythonSnake: thanks for the tip but that's actually not my problem. It takes my DVD's just fine but when I encode with x264 the audio lags behind by about half a second [23:49] very annoying when I'm trying to watch [23:49] I was thinking scp maybe with some flags? [23:49] or smbclient? [23:49] ubuntu__: do you use ubuntu or kubuntu ? [23:49] and when I use other encoding methods there's no compression so the files are still huge (1-2GB) [23:49] for ubuntu support, please join #ubuntu [23:49] PythonSnake: im in kubuntu right now [23:49] but its a pretty general question [23:50] ubuntu__: external hard drive? I know you'll have to do it twice but USB should be at least twice as fast as ethernet, even over LAN, I think [23:50] actually that's a good point [23:51] and I've had less problems with usb than ethernet when copying large files [23:53] looks like i need gparted to wipe this disk weird [23:53] cfdisk won't even let me look at it [23:54] areichman: tried DVD::RIP ? [23:55] PythonSnake: no, I haven't. Looks like no updates for over a year, though [23:56] areichman: HandBrake is a good one [23:56] how can I run gparted from a kubuntu liveCD? I am getting asked for a password and its not letting me authenticate [23:56] probably because the default user is not in wheel [23:56] both gtk applications. I know that I can run them on kubuntu but I'd really like to stay with qt/kde apps [23:57] no idea how to get k9copy to adjust the audio correctly, PythonSnake? [23:57] ubuntu__: why do you need to run it from a livecd? [23:57] gparted has their own livecd if you need it [23:57] sigh [23:58] will you tell me how to do it if I explain it to you? [23:58] otherwise, unless you're trying to wipe the main drive you should be able to run it as a local user [23:58] no? [23:58] ubuntu__: the kubuntu live cd comes with partitionmanager now... the kde vversion of gpatered [23:58] I don't know that I can help you from the livecd [23:58] I usually just use the alternate cd and do an install, then run programs from there [23:58]
