[03:04] anyone use wine? [03:04] Some like beer more [03:12] i mean meam wine for linux [03:13] Bad joke, what's the issue? [03:16] does msi extension work in wine? [03:17] Kind of, but you need to change something [03:18] First run sudo apt-get install winetricks then sh winetricks msi2 [03:26] wine tricks is needed for it to work? [03:26] ok [03:27] Well, it's the quick and easy way [04:48] hi [04:48] Hi [04:48] anyone clever with firefox addon? [04:48] I am on to a bug in gnome mplayer [05:18] yesitisjustme, hi [06:31] Good evening. [06:32] What size do you guys use for your /root partition if you're not using a home partition? [06:33] depends [06:33] 10GB could be enough [06:33] JadedJacob: what are the applications you install/use ? like somw web development or some other [06:33] I would give maybe 15 [06:34] bioterror: 20 ? :P [06:34] I'm setting up a triple boot for a friend. [06:34] why? [06:34] Vista (cringes) Lubuntu, and Opensuse 11.04 [06:34] They want to test out in linux [06:35] So I'm installing lubuntu and opensuse for them. [06:35] just basic internet and media use [06:35] So I'll just install VLC Player and make sure flash player works and leave it at that. [06:36] then 10 will do [06:36] 80GB = 74GB as far as Gparted is concerned. [06:36] 10 GB I mean [06:36] 4gb for the vista recovery partition. so i gave vista 35GB, and I have 35GB left for linux [06:37] How about 15GB for each distro, and 5GB for the swap file? [06:39] JadedJacob: 10 GB is enough for lubuntu. Its upto you to give more memory [06:45] is gnome mplayer freeze, a lubuntu issue [06:45] knows bug? [06:45] known bug* [06:45] bioterror? [06:46] http://launchpad.net/ [06:47] you can search for gnome player [06:47] silverarrow: is the other players also having the same issue? If not, register a bug in launchpad.net as bioterror mentioned [06:47] but under gnome player and not under lubuntu [06:48] no only mplayer, vlc doesn't cause freeze-up, but then again will not work [06:48] vlc, works on some stuff === bastlfreenode is now known as thebastl [06:49] Thanks M0hi [06:50] no probs JadedJacob =] [06:51] Now I just have to work whether to use 10GB for each distro, and then a 10GB as a shared storage partition. [06:51] OR [06:52] 15GB per distro and mount points to each distro's user dir :) [06:53] you should use all the 80GB for Lubuntu. [06:53] next! ;D [06:54] ;) [07:01] bioterror: :P [07:02] it's always a bit daft with bugs, nobody wants them. I don't think it's a mplayer issue / I do think it's an mplayer issue [07:03] then backtrace that gnome mplayer [07:03] install all the dev -packages for mplayer and gnome-mplayer [07:03] you get more specific data [07:04] maybe related ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/788430 [07:04] Ubuntu bug 788430 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "Chromium causes computer to freeze when playing .asf video" [Undecided,New] [07:05] I get it in firefox to with the video flash replacer addon [07:05] which is mplayer === M0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [07:13] silverarrow: mplayer and flash player drivers has no link. Try VLC/ some other movie players please [07:17] vlc do not freeze, I have it, but it will not play like mplayer [07:18] then find mplayer devs and ask for the help regarding this silverarrow [07:19] hyperair: remove the ',' in the topic after "Welcome to lubuntu" [07:20] * IAmNotThatGuy gives work to hyperair [07:21] um what ,? [07:21] hyperair: in priv msg [07:21] IAmNotThatGuy: i don't see any priv msg.. [07:22] if I install smplayer from package manger will it somehow affect default gnome mplayer? [07:22] hyperair: PM [07:22] okay, just saw it [07:22] silverarrow: No [07:22] you should be careful only at the time of removal [07:23] that could potentially muck up the experiment [07:25] * IAmNotThatGuy didn't do that hyperair :P [07:26] * hyperair didn't do that to IAmNotThatGuy [07:26] lol [07:28] hyperair: -offtopic [07:59] it is a chore to address bugs [08:08] hi people, I need suggestion about synaptic in lubuntu 11.04: I can't remove packages marked as "not installed, residual config". I mark them to completely remove, but the apply button is not active. [08:08] hi [08:09] who asked me to install gecko? [08:09] I have installed two packages from suggested packages. I have mucked up some functions [08:10] is it easy to revert to previous state? [08:10] I regret it big time [08:11] Wed02:42* silverarrow: I'd suggest just installing gecko-mediaplayer from -proposed and then removing it if your risk tolerance is low [08:11] Wed02:43* silverarrow: removing -proposed, not gecko-mediaplyer [08:11] I installed lib6 something [08:12] stupid me [08:13] it did mess up [08:13] the gecko package [08:14] if I run package manager will it detect and remove them? [08:17] I could shoot my self in the foot [08:17] i cannot stream online tv [08:18] :( [08:20] a bit stupid too [08:20] what was I thinking the package would be good for? [08:20] it's a nice thing that my service proviced offers us a XBMC plugin to watch stored tv shows from their clould service [08:21] freeze issues are more than enough [08:21] I can just WoL my HTPC, start the plugin and choose what I've stored and watch it [08:22] so maybe you should consider a better service for your online tv? [08:22] I was rather happy with gnome mplayer gecko and chromium, is streamed online tv, direct too [08:22] yes maybe [08:22] we have one channel that has webpage full of silverlight [08:23] I have moonlight [08:23] I have a feeling this is never going to be reversed [08:24] maybe next time I install lubuntu, [08:24] when does lubuntu 12 come? [08:24] or 11.10, what ever they call it [08:27] Think about that, it's based on release date (version numbers) [08:54] Unit193, thanks, obvious really lol [08:55] I heard rumors there's a release in October [08:56] I really wish there was a way to reverse newly installed packages [09:57] why is my desktop showing multiple things open when there is only 1 thing open? (when closing they all close) [09:57] for example? [09:58] well my time wireless and sound is not in the correct spot (to the right of the screen) and I open xchat and I see multiples going across the bottom [09:58] ah notification area [09:59] oh that helps xD [09:59] ty [09:59] <- feels like a tard :) [10:03] Try saying /me feels like a tard ;) [10:06] :p [10:07] * meway tard the new Pokemon [10:50] Unit193: LOL === M0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [12:56] Is there a special way that I need to install Vlc player on lubuntu compared to ubuntu pure? [12:56] sudo apt-get install vlc [14:37] hmm...moonlight in natty also needs testing in natty-proposed, I missed that too... [15:21] Why does the Lubuntu installer create three partitions? [15:21] I get sda1, sda2 and sda5 where sda2 is primary and sda5 is swap [15:21] I dont understand what sda1 is [15:54] hi guys, I have forcefully downgraded my firefox back to 4 because I didnt like the 5 or 6 browser, but now it appears always in update manager, how do I make it that the update manager ignores firefox? [16:00] morri: inside synaptics you can lock packages [16:01] under Package -> Lock/Force (I have swedish lubuntu so i don't know quite what it says in the english version;) ) [16:11] cool thanks Soojin [17:23] is there a way to revert to a previous update? === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [19:17] what kind of players and media drivers are default in lubuntu? [19:18] I am thinking of removing all extras, en reinstall [19:19] !info lubuntu-core [19:19] lubuntu-core (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment - minimal installation. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.24 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) [19:19] I have 11.04 [19:20] I messed up my mediaplayer, some kind of gecko or plugin mess [19:20] What exactly are you looking for? Sounded like you didn't want default programs [19:20] oh sorry, I am very happy with default [19:21] and extras [19:21] for a while everything worked fairly well [19:21] I installed two proposed packages yesterday and they messed up online stream tv [19:22] I don't know if it is repairable [19:22] I am hoping [19:23] streaming in mplayer stopped working [19:23] so, it's really difficult to trace the packages? or latest updates? [19:23] Ok, disable the repo then open the terminal and type sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get reinstall {packages messed up} [19:24] yes, I did disable the proposed stuff [19:26] can you make sense out of this? http://pastebin.com/uKAHCccu [19:27] You need to actually secect the package name >.< [19:27] sudo apt-get reinstall invalid operation [19:29] definitely a challenge [19:29] god knows what I have installed [19:29] he has probably no idea either [19:29] Oh, wrong program for that :P sudo apt-get uninstall [package] than sudo apt-get install [package] [19:31] I have to google what packages I installed [19:32] I followed a guide for medibuntu I think with added gecko/mplayer/and windows media plugins [19:49] silverarrow: I forgot to mention that a new moonlight is waiting in natty-proposed as well [19:57] and how will it work? [19:57] I'm not shore I even know if can use moolight, when I have mplayer and gecko [20:00] situation now is that tv streams loads, caches, and play for a second then aborts [20:00] I'm shore something is interfering with the main driver or plugin [20:02] it looks like moonlight mozilla plugin should stream tv [20:03] i've had enough for today I think [20:03] I'm not getting any where [20:04] I suspect I have double up some kind of plugin or driver and the interfere [20:07] micahg, the gecko package messed up [20:07] with Firefox 6? [20:08] no, with chromium, but it didn't work in firefox 6 either, or before [20:08] in chromium I could stream tv with mplayer fine [20:08] firefox never did [20:09] I have no good explanation for it [20:19] micahg, firefox is the preferred browser these days? [20:19] I tried to stick with chromium, because it was default [20:20] silverarrow: depends in which derivative [20:20] you're free to use whatever you like, I happen to be the one pushing through updates in the stable releases for both Firefox and Chromium [20:21] it's all right, I installed Firefox because of the flash video replacer [20:22] work well [20:22] but I lost tv stream [20:23] I am sure it is a minor issue [20:24] like double up drivers, but I cannot find any clue to how or where they should be lined up [20:28] hi all [20:28] I need to transform a subtitle's code to utf-8 .Because local letters are not legible at the moment. I used to write a command like -f iso... -t utf-8 file.srt > file1.srt. But I don't remember it exactly. Can anyone help me with that? [20:31] tricky [20:33] oh found it [20:33] iconv [20:39] how do I set a background? [20:44] how do I set an image as a background in lubuntu? [20:45] out of 43 people everybody is afk? [21:41] heh [21:41] kids these days [22:12] Is there something special I need to do to use a different wm? I changed the setting in lxsession-edit, and it's still using openbox. [23:23] For whatever reason, lxsession-edit was writing its configuration changes to the LXDE session instead of the Lubuntu session. Copying directory over made it work. [23:46] I have discovered where the annoying popups come from [23:46] I blamed chromium for being bad with popups, but it i IsoHunt [23:47] IH have these nasty banners with blinking adverts and popups that appear in a new window
