[02:49] <froq> HELLO!!!!!!
[03:02] <stlsaint> froq: sup
[06:59] <r4y> Hello, I have had this happen before but it has been a long time since I have seen this happen. So I downloaded the Wizard of OZ with the audio of the Dark Side of the Moon through a torrent because I heard about how they can be synced together.
[06:59] <bioterror> sounds like we have a pothead here
[06:59] <bioterror> :-------D
[06:59] <r4y> I just wanted to want it, but it won't play in SMplayer, no I am not a pot head, lol
[07:00] <r4y> So I opened it with Avidemux and when I click on the window it pops up and when I click on it again it pops down, so I have to use the keyboard to use avidemux
[07:01] <bioterror> use VLC for watching movies?
[07:02] <r4y> Ha, it's bioterror. I didn't realize it was you. I was only trying to type. I have used VLC before, but SMplayer had all I could want as far as I could tell when I had tried testing out different players
[07:02] <r4y> Not that I know any better
[07:02] <bioterror> if you have a HTPC kind of setup, go with the XBMC
[07:02] <bioterror> we used a Wizard of Oz VHS and DSoM CD ;)
[07:04] <r4y> By the way, I was able to skip commercials in videos from the website the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic are hosting from by using adblock
[07:04] <bioterror> firefox's adblock rules
[07:05] <r4y> I wasn't aware of how to use adblock, so I looked it up
[07:05] <r4y> HTPC and XBMC?, I will have to look them up
[07:06] <r4y> hardware?
[07:07] <r4y> I know that was vague. Are they both hardware?, or?
[07:07] <bioterror> no
[07:08] <bioterror> htpc is a computer attached to a tv or projector
[07:08] <bioterror> or a huge monitor
[07:08] <bioterror> and XBMC is a kick ass software
[07:10] <r4y> Well, I have s-video which is cheap but works pretty well, with my stereo for audio. OK, I have been Googling. TY you for arrowing it down, but does XBMC cost money?
[07:10] <bioterror> no
[07:10] <r4y> Cool. I will try it out sometime soon
[07:10] <bioterror> http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide
[07:11] <r4y> I had this link but it says it is an unoffical way of installing:
[07:11] <r4y> http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation,_an_unofficial_Step-by-Step_Guide
[07:11] <r4y> TY for the link
[07:13] <r4y> I don't know what else to say but thank you
[07:15] <r4y> I feel stupid about this, but what is XBMC. I found the wiki and I was reading it a little.
[07:18] <r4y> I found this:
[07:18] <r4y> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XBMC
[07:21] <r4y> Regarding the window jumping when I click on it, I just un-maximized it and I can now use Avidemux with my mouse.
[07:24] <r4y> I will try XBMC out though. I need to go soon though. Thank you for the help and sorry for all the chattering. I have had some coffee. Take care.
[21:03] <Bipul> bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ chown bipul /var/www/
[21:03] <Bipul> chown: changing ownership of `/var/www/': Operation not permitted
[21:03] <Bipul> what's wrong?
[21:04] <Unit193> Bipul: You will need to use sudo on that one (And you already went over the security of it)
[21:04] <Bipul> Means ?
[21:04] <Unit193> !sudo | sudo chown bipul /var/www/
[21:04] <ubot2> sudo chown bipul /var/www/: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[21:06] <bioterror> ;)))
[21:06] <Bipul> Unit193,  i want's to install http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/ this file inside /var/www
[21:10] <Unit193> pm | Bipul
[21:10] <Unit193> !pm | Bipul
[21:10] <ubot2> Bipul: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.
[21:10] <Bipul> bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ sudo chown bipul /var/www/
[21:10] <Bipul> bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ pwd
[21:10] <Bipul> /home/bipul
[21:11] <Unit193> Now     ls -l /var |grep www
[21:12] <Bipul> bipul@bipul-desktop:~$ ls -l /var |grep www
[21:12] <Bipul> drwxr-xr-x  2 bipul root  4096 2011-04-18 21:36 www
[21:14] <Bipul> ?
[21:15] <Unit193> Your user owns it while your group doesn't (I don't know if you want it)
[21:20] <holstein> Bipul: i wouldnt chown more than needed
[21:21] <Unit193> holstein: I agree, but they already talked about that a little :/
[21:22] <holstein> right... but chowning /var/www/whatever should be just fine
[21:23] <holstein> OR sudo moving the files, if thats the issue
[21:23] <holstein> Unit193: maybe this is just on a home network... that wouldnt be so bad then
[21:24] <Unit193> holstein: I don't think it is exactly :/  You may want to chip in your reasons for NOT chowning for this user!
[21:25] <holstein> same as you really... just security
[21:25] <holstein> you dont want to be copy/pasting sudo chown commands without knowing whats happening
[21:26] <Bipul> holstein,  yes that's true i dont know must about this command :)
[21:27] <Bipul> much*
[21:29] <bioterror> the first failure was to chown that /var/www
[21:29] <bioterror> honestly
[21:31] <mi6ail1234> Hello,I have a question
[21:33] <bioterror> !ask | mi6ail1234
[21:33] <ubot2> mi6ail1234: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[21:34] <mi6ail1234> My webcam (Philips SPC210NC) with other programs,but not with skype...how can i make to run properly
[21:34] <holstein> mi6ail1234: i would probably try an older (or newer if available) version of skype
[21:35] <mi6ail1234> Im with the latest version
[21:36] <holstein> cool.. so older then
[21:36] <holstein> assuming the camera is working, then i think its safe to assume its skype that is the issue, and theres really not much to be done about that since is closed
[21:39] <Bipul> holstein,  you there
[21:40] <holstein> whats up?
[21:40] <mi6ail1234> So i guess that there is no chance to make it run...thank you anyway
[21:40] <holstein> mi6ail1234: i have suggested the older version before with success
[21:40] <Bipul> holstein,  can i pm you
[21:40] <holstein> Bipul: sure
[21:41] <Bipul> thanks
[21:52] <mi6ail1234> i've tryed right now..but notting is appeared
[21:55] <holstein> mi6ail1234: i would probably just keep jumping around versions a bit
[21:55] <holstein> maybe try the windows version in wine?
[21:56] <holstein> nah... it doesnt get good ratings on wineHQ
[21:56] <mi6ail1234> well,It is a good idea,but i want everything to work natievly on ubuntu
[21:57] <holstein> mi6ail1234: maybe consider an alternative to skype then
[21:58] <mi6ail1234> :) Skype is a very popular program...i think that there is no alternative to skype especialy for Ubuntu
[21:59] <holstein> mi6ail1234: theres plenty that do *not* communicate with the skype user database
[22:00] <holstein> thats the biggest flaw really, thats they are not actually skype
[22:05] <mi6ail1234> Ok, How can I move taskbar form top to the bottom?
[22:06] <holstein> mi6ail1234: in unity?
[22:06] <holstein> AFAIK, you cant... in gnome, you right click on it, and you'll see properties
[22:06] <mi6ail1234> no,in gnome
[22:06] <holstein> i should say... you cant *yet*
[22:07] <mi6ail1234> Thank you..I did it.
[22:10] <Bipul> is there any one know  any application for video confreing on LAMP server runing on Ubuntu
[22:12] <mi6ail1234> I have some strange problem with sound..I have 5.1 sound system and in some movies i can't hear speech,but i can hear noises...when i switch to 4.0 it's working without subwoofer...i think that is not from movie
[22:13] <holstein> mi6ail1234: i would want to confirm the outputs are what they say they are
[22:13] <holstein> you cant trust the labels for the audio outs and ins
[22:15] <mi6ail1234> Right now i'm using Analog Surround 5.1 Output + Analog Stereo input
[22:15] <holstein> mi6ail1234: im an audio guy, but i only do stereo
[22:15] <holstein> i can say, you'll have to just do some trial and error to figure out whats what
[22:18] <mi6ail1234> and how can i do that?
[22:18] <holstein> plug something in... turn something on... test... unplug... repeat
[22:18] <holstein> look in alsamixer and *dont* trust those labels either
[22:19] <holstein> OR, just go stereo, and enjoy :)
[22:23] <mi6ail1234> Ok,thank you...that is all for now
[22:23] <mi6ail1234> Good night to everyone(here is 01:23 after midnight)
[22:29] <murcherson> hi folks i have been looking for an answer to this for ages and keep striking out, how do I open a launcher as admin, ie I open system settings and want to check my logs but when i click on icon i only get user access so how can i click on icon as an admin
[22:31] <bioterror> you get asked for password?
[22:32] <murcherson> no
[22:32] <murcherson> so i only get normal access
[22:33] <bioterror> you could edit the /usr/share/applications/application.desktop -file and add gksu before the application command
[22:33] <Newbster> Hello everyone, I just installed and trying out Ubuntu on a really old macbook, which is also my very first experience with Linux OS, and I like it a lot so far! I want to just apologize now for any stupid beginner questions that I might ask soon ;-)
[22:33] <murcherson> yeh but that means doing that for every launcher
[22:34] <bioterror> murcherson, why you want every application to be run as root?
[22:34] <murcherson> i dont
[22:34] <bioterror> you just said you want
[22:35] <murcherson> i just want to able to choose to open a launcher as admin if i wish
[22:35] <murcherson> instead of finding out launcher command name then going via terminal
[22:35] <bioterror> open terminal and use gksu/gksudo when you have need for that
[22:37] <bioterror> I'm not taking part in how gnome with unity works, but you can surely give them your improvement suggestion
[22:37] <bioterror> "Run as Admin..." :D
[22:37] <murcherson> thats what im looking for on a right click
[22:37] <murcherson> just no idea how to do
[22:43] <pleia2> bodhi_zazen: have a moment for a quick PM?
[22:43] <pleia2> er, wrong channel :\
