otaconQuick question, does Lubuntu support system sound schemes?09:38
crshbndcthey everyone12:25
bioterrorhi12:25
crshbndctdoes anyone know how to run mplayer without video output? i.e. play a video file but only play the audio from it??12:25
crshbndcti tried using -vo:null (lol) but that didnt work12:26
bioterroryou want to rip the Audio or you just want the audio?12:26
crshbndctno i want to just play the audio12:27
crshbndcti figured it will be something like mplayer -vo:null /<path to filename>12:27
bioterrorjust a moment12:28
bioterrorI'll investigate a little12:28
crshbndctthanks :)12:28
crshbndcti tried reading the man page, but i was beaten12:29
bioterrorI cannot judge anyone for not understanding the man pages12:29
bioterrorjust a moment, I'll move to desktop computer, I have mplayer there12:29
crshbndcti love using mplayer instead of gui media players. but all my 1080p youtube downloaded music videos tend to to pop up and take over my desktop.. would love to just say play them all with no video output .. thanks for the help12:31
bioterroryou got it almost right12:32
bioterrormplayer -vo null path/to/video.avi12:32
crshbndctlol so close.. ok i will go try it12:34
crshbndctOUTSTANDING!!! thanks :)12:34
bioterrornp ;)12:34
crshbndctnow my 50gb music collection (100 songs) will be may easier to use12:35
bioterroryou could take the audio from them12:36
bioterrorand ditch the video12:36
crshbndctnah i like having the video there too.. great for parties.. i have plenty of space on my hdd's12:37
crshbndctwell mighty impressed with lubuntu so far.. i am a chronic distro hopper, but i dont even need to run my "make linux work on modern hardware" fix with it, which is f***ing rare12:54

draiochinstalled lubuntu on machine with integrated intel sound chip, no sound would love to know to find out name of integrated chip and sudo get command how to install it or would alsa work thx19:38
silverarrowyou could open alsamixer and see what it says ?19:43
draiochk ill try that thx19:43
MrChrisDruifThe apt install from the website of adobe only opens an other chromium window ( xdg-open apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner )19:44
silverarrowit should be listed under pci devices in system profiler19:45
silverarrowdraioch,19:45
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Do you have flashplugin-installer installed?19:45
draiocho/ silverarrow thx19:45
draiochwas actually looking up to check if alsa installed19:46
silverarrowin alsamixer you should be able to load different drivers, and check if everything is on19:46
silverarrowitis19:46
silverarrowopens in terminal19:46
draiochyea remember that thx19:47
MrChrisDruifUnit193: yeah, it's installed19:47
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Trying in Chromium and you have restarted the browser?19:50
draiochsilverarrow running asla now and playing video file nuting show in alsa level meters or analouge output card is showing as Intel ICH6 with AD1981B at irq 2319:51
draiochthx19:51
silverarrowyou got sound?19:52
silverarrowit should be listed under menu-sytem tools- profiler/benchmark -pci dvices too19:53
silverarrowbut really alsamixer is the only place where you can do something19:53
silverarrowdraioch, you have manage to set all relevant parameters on full?19:54
MrChrisDruifUnit193: it keeps saying that I need to upgrade my flash player19:54
Unit193What page would this be?19:55
draiochyea was just looking at that never used alsa before so ill play around for a while and big big thx for the help19:55
MrChrisDruifJust a regular youtube page19:55
silverarrowdraioch, it is pretty simple: mostly the arrows are used, and on some parameters tab19:56
draiochyea thx MM must be mute and 00 on channel19:57
silverarrowit is a bit fickely but you get it right away19:57
silverarrowyes19:57
silverarrowand arrow up and down to regulate19:57
draioch;)19:57
silverarrowtab can work as enter on some19:58
draioch\o/ silverarrow19:58

silverarrowthe 3D parameter can be crucial; really cracly sound if it is wrong19:58
silverarrowcrackly19:58
silverarrow*19:59
draiochyea im big into sound but mostly hardware not PCs but getting there thx to yourself19:59
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Installing it on my Oneiric now19:59
MrChrisDruifUnit193: the link I press on the youtube page to upgrade my flashplayer, it goes to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ followed by questions that lead to an apt link (which opens an other chromium window instead of Synaptic or LSC)20:01
Unit193What's   apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer  give you?  What about   dpkg -l |grep flash    ?20:02
MrChrisDruifWhat should the first one give?20:05
MrChrisDruifSecond gives: ii  flashplugin-downloader                 10.3.183.10ubuntu5                      Adobe Flash Player plugin downloader, ii  flashplugin-installer                  10.3.183.10ubuntu5                      Adobe Flash Player plugin installer20:06
MrChrisDruifInstalled: 10.3.183.10ubuntu5, Candidate: 10.3.183.10ubuntu5, Version table:  *** 10.3.183.10ubuntu5 0, 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/multiverse i386 Packages, 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status20:07
MrChrisDruifThat gives the first command20:07
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Can you run updates? I got a newer version when I just now installed it20:12
silverarrowhas anyone installed one of the latest daily versions of 11.10?20:13
MrChrisDruifI don't have a newer version available20:13
MrChrisDruifsilverarrow: No, beta 220:15
silverarrowis it safer or better?20:16
silverarrowI just burned the daily20:16
silverarrowand have no more empty cds, so I shall have to stick with it until monday20:16
MrChrisDruifDon't know, my first steps in Oneiric as well...20:16
Unit193MrChrisDruif: I just checked that mirror and the main, that seems to be out of date20:16
MrChrisDruifI have added the lubuntu-desktop ppa if that helps at all?20:17
Unit193It wouldn't have anything to do with flash though20:18
MrChrisDruifI would think the same20:18
MrChrisDruifShould I try this ppa? ppa:sevenmachines/flash20:19
MrChrisDruifFrom this page I've found: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/adobe-flash-11-released-ready-download/20:19
Unit193Open this one http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html20:21
MrChrisDruifI can't seem to see what you mean?20:24
Unit193Do you see the box as talked about here "If Flash Player is installed on your computer, the following box displays the version of Flash Player installed along with the operating system:" ?20:25
silverarrowcan you send documents stored in lubuntu ext4 to a ntfs external hdd?20:25
=== robotman is now known as AlexAv
MrChrisDruifNo, it says "Get Adobe Flash Player"20:27
MrChrisDruifhttp://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83950.html <= this page also didn't help20:28
MrChrisDruifBottom section20:31
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Do you have it in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so ?20:35
MrChrisDruifFolder is present, the .so isn't20:36
Unit193Ah, there you go.   sudo updatedb; locate flash |grep .so     and tell me where it's located?20:37
MrChrisDruif/home/chris/.cache/.fr-8LEuZy/libflashplayer.so, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/files/libflashplayer.2.so, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/files/libflashplayer.so, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/files/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/files/usr.2/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/info/libflashplayer.2.so.trashinfo, /home/chris/.local/share/Trash/info/libflashplayer.so.trashin20:40
MrChrisDruifSo except some trashed ones from trying to download it manually only one in ~/.cache/.fr-8LEuZy/20:41
MrChrisDruif/home/chris/.cache/.fr-8LEuZy/libflashplayer.so, /usr/lib/libvisual-0.4/morph/morph_flash.so20:42
Unit193If I were you, I would switch mirrors as that's an older version20:43
MrChrisDruifHow do I switch mirrors? =S20:44
Unit193!repomirror20:45
ubot5Go to "System",  "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically.20:45
MrChrisDruifFirst two steps are changed btw20:46
Unit193Yeah, that's for Ubuntu :P  Open Synaptic20:47
MrChrisDruif"Menu", "Preferences", and "Software Sources" works in Lubuntu20:48
MrChrisDruifThat "select best server" is nowhere to be found20:49
MrChrisDruifFound it20:50
MrChrisDruifThey've changed it a lot20:50
MrChrisDruifI've done that, still no change20:53
Unit193Did you reload package list? Purge and reinstall after you reload20:53
MrChrisDruifA lot of "Ign" with the update do20:53
MrChrisDruifpurge?20:53
MrChrisDruifI've done "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y"20:54
Unit193Didn't pull it up? sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-downloader flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer20:55
MrChrisDruif"The Flash plugin is NOT installed."20:57
MrChrisDruifhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/704608/20:59
MrChrisDruifI would love some Mac-ness right now (being famed for "just working")21:01
Unit193Did you install downloader?21:02
Unit193And yes, that would be handy ;)  (To be fair, I haven't had a problem like this :P )21:02
MrChrisDruifInstall downloader?21:03
MrChrisDruifI've just burned the disk and expected it to work. Got some errors bytheway about the disk ect, but don't know what's has or hasn't been reported21:04
Unit193Here is a few https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/TODO#ISO_Testing_Bugs21:05
MrChrisDruifUnit193: this link also doesn't work from Adobe, but I mentioned that before: xdg-open apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner21:05
KM0201does anyone know of a upnp video player for ubuntu?21:05
MrChrisDruifKM0201: vlc?21:05
KM0201MrChrisDruif: for some reason, its not working like i thought it would.21:05
MrChrisDruifI've never tried to make upnp work21:05
KM0201MrChrisDruif: i can log in to mediatomb, finda movie, copy the URL, and paste it into VLC, and it plays fine21:06
KM0201but i'd like it to be able to show me what is available (kinda like rythmbox does for music)21:06
KM0201i've googled this like crazy w/ no luck21:06
MrChrisDruif(Never had a setup to test upnp in the first place)21:06
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Could always take a look at this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash21:06
MrChrisDruifUnit193: That APT for 9.04+ doesn't open ANY software manager, just an other chromium window21:08
KM0201dpkg?21:08
MrChrisDruifDifferences between Gnome and LXDE, because I've found similar tutorials online. Most of which were related to 11.10 even because I searched for that21:09
Unit193MrChrisDruif: Alright, I'll now point  you to #ubuntu+121:10
MrChrisDruifAnd if I'd download the tar.gz and move the .so to the before mentioned folder manually?21:10
MrChrisDruifThey'll also have their hands in their hair because it's for LXDE instead of GNOME21:11
Unit193I don't know what to tell you, worked fine first try, but it's causing all sorts of weird things for you21:13
MrChrisDruifFML21:13
MrChrisDruifI'll just try that =)21:13
MrChrisDruifUnit193: solved21:21
Unit193Figures....21:21
Unit193What'd I miss?21:22
MrChrisDruifUnit193: when I first searched for "adobe" in synaptic I didn't find "adobe-flashplugin" nor "adobe-flash-properties-gtk", now I did find the latter, which also installed the first and removed flashplugin-installer21:25
silverarrowis the launch next week? for 11.10?21:28
MrChrisDruifYup, 13th21:29
silverarrowcool21:29
MrChrisDruifAnyhow, I'm off to install the Beta 2 at home aswell21:31
MrChrisDruif(This was a laptop from my parents =P )21:32
haemogoblinhey there22:24
haemogoblini'm seeking help with my Lubuntu install22:25
haemogoblin:)22:25
haemogoblinif anyone has a spare moment22:25
stlsainthaemogoblin: sup22:32
haemogoblin there22:35
haemogoblinhi even22:35
haemogoblin:)22:35
haemogoblini've just installed Lubuntu on a intel core duo 1.66 mini ITX board22:35
haemogoblini can't seem the get cpufreq to work22:35
haemogoblinmy linux knowledge isn't good enough to solve the problem, so thought i'd come on here and ask an expert :)22:36
stlsaintcpufreq? what do you mean?22:37
haemogoblinI'm after some sort of cpu throttle22:37
haemogoblinso i can put the CPU to ondemand ect22:38
haemogoblinlike i have in ubuntu22:38
stlsaintthe two should work the same? what seems to be the issue22:38
haemogoblinif i try to add the CPUfreq plugin for the system tray22:39
haemogoblinit says frequency 0 mhz22:39
haemogoblingovernor: nill22:40
haemogoblinnull - sorry22:40
haemogoblinThe plugin is called CPUfreq frontend22:40
stlsaintaye22:40
stlsainthave you installed cpufreqd?22:41
haemogoblinone sec, i think so..but i'll check..i've been fiddling for over an hour trying various things :)22:41
haemogoblin ah right it was on, but i was trying powernowd22:42
haemogoblinjust reinstalling22:42
haemogoblin i have had it installed, but wasn't having any success22:43
stlsainthaemogoblin: what does: sudo powernowd22:43
stlsaintgive you22:44
haemogoblinbasically i'm just wanting a means to throttle back my CPU fan as it's going full speed and it's really noisy22:44
haemogoblinwell synaptic package manager has just removed it and installed cpufreqd, so dont think i'll get anything22:44
stlsaintaye ok22:44
stlsaintwell if your fan is runnign high that means your processors are running hot. what resource intensive process do you have running?22:45
haemogoblinyep, tried it and unknown command22:45
haemogoblinnothing..22:45
haemogoblinit's been running full blast since boot up22:45
stlsaintwell thats a bigger problem than just setting your processors22:45
stlsaintare your cpu's hot?22:46
stlsaintand is your system on carpet or a blanket?22:46
haemogoblin40c22:46
haemogoblinaccording to the sysinfo/sensors22:47
haemogoblinthe one thing that does work, is the cpu monitor and that's not really spiking22:49
haemogoblin25% - i have a youtube movie running22:50
stlsaintok so you want to set the cpufreq lower manually?22:50
stlsaintbetter yet here have a look here for better learning:22:51
stlsainthttp://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/22:51
haemogoblinproblem22:53
haemogoblinI use the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor on my panel to see the speed of my CPU.22:53
haemogoblini dont even have this22:54
haemogoblinhence why i am here22:54
haemogoblin:/22:54
haemogoblinAs i said, it says frequency 0mhz22:55
stlsainthaemogoblin: aye, right. ok so right clicking and selecting the cpufreq frontend gives you no applet?22:56
haemogoblinno22:56
haemogoblinjust the normal taskbar menu, add/remove panel, ect22:57
haemogoblini'm no expert with the terminal but i believe this might be a problem22:59
haemogoblin /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq22:59
haemogoblinapparently this doesn't exist22:59
haemogoblin:/22:59
stlsaintits under: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq23:00
stlsainthaemogoblin: actually look under /sys/devices/system/cpu23:01
haemogoblinits an empty folder23:01
stlsainthaemogoblin: oh dear23:01
haemogoblinwhats that mean?23:02
haemogoblin:/23:02
stlsainthaemogoblin: what release are you running?23:02
haemogoblinit's the lubuntu-alternative iso23:02
stlsainti mean 11.04...10.04 or....23:03
haemogoblin10.1023:03
haemogoblinsystem summery has be a bit confused as it boots with the lubuntu splash screen but system summery says ubuntu 10.10..i know it's based on ubuntu..23:04
stlsaintin terminal run: cat /etc/issue23:06
haemogoblinok23:07
stlsaintwhat does it show23:07
haemogoblinno such file or directory23:07
stlsaintO_O23:07
stlsaintyou sure you ran it just like that:23:08
stlsaintcat /etc/issue23:08
haemogoblinsorry23:08
haemogoblintypo23:08
haemogoblinlol23:08
haemogoblinUbuntu 10.10 \n \l23:08
stlsaintok im on 11.04 but i dont think there is much difference in the two, i would have to say possibly you need to reconfigure lxdm23:09
haemogoblinhow do i do that?23:11
stlsaintone sec please23:11
haemogoblinnp :)23:12
stlsainthaemogoblin: seems that the conventional dpkg-reconfigure lxdm does nothing really23:17
haemogoblini just tried that and apparently i need to be as root23:19
stlsaintyea you gotta put sudo in the beginning23:19
haemogoblinhmm that didn't do anything lol23:20
stlsaintyea23:20
haemogoblinso is it lubuntu?23:21
stlsainti highly suggest putting your issue on the lubuntu mailing list23:21
haemogoblinok23:21
stlsaintmany more eyes will see it including the lubuntu developers23:21
haemogoblinwhere do i find that?23:21
haemogoblinthanks23:21
haemogoblin:D23:21
haemogoblinIf all else fails i can see ubuntu going on..but i was limited with hd space23:22
haemogoblini'm using a 4gb microdrive23:22
stlsaintyea lubuntu will be your best bet over ubuntu in your case23:22
stlsaintlubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net23:22
stlsaintsend email there23:22
haemogoblinCheers23:23
haemogoblinhow will i know if i get a reply?23:24
haemogoblinwill i be contacted directly?23:24
stlsaintno, in the email ask personnel to CC you since you are not subscribed to the list23:24
stlsaintif something comes and i see you were not cc'ed on it i will shoot it your way23:24
haemogoblinthanks23:25
haemogoblinive since i used that powernowd, my keyboard has been acting laggy23:26
haemogoblinasked me if i wanted to enable a power saving option on the usb and it's actually become a pain23:26
haemogoblinas i dont know how to undo what it's done.23:27
stlsaintremove what you installed and put powernod back on23:30
haemogoblinright23:33
haemogoblinemail sent :)23:33
