truepurpleCan someone help me install smplayer?01:22
nlsthzntruepurple: hi01:34
truepurplehi01:34
nlsthzntruepurple: sudo apt-get install smplayer01:34
thewrathhey nlsthzn01:34
nlsthznthewrath: hi01:34
truepurplethe issue is, I already have mplayer installed, I did so with alot of commands with help from someone, I need a front end that points to that mplayer01:35
truepurplegetting help in ubuntu channel right now.01:35
thewrathproably compiled it from source i am guessing01:35
truepurplewell I need a front end for it01:36
nlsthznWell, smplayer is a front-end for it...01:36
truepurpleit works, but its a pain to open a terminal, type mplayer, drag the icon for the video over, and then theres the lack of menu options and everything needing to be done by hot keys01:36
truepurpleis smplayer the best one for it?01:36
nlsthzntruepurple: that I don't know...01:37
nlsthznbut it is a frontend and will give you access to mplayer in a more convinient way - http://smplayer.sourceforge.net for a screen-shot01:38
truepurplenlsthzn, what do you think of gmplayer?01:38
nlsthzntruepurple: I haven't used any of these... I am happy with totem or VLC...01:39
* nlsthzn may be back in a bit... all depends :)01:41
truepurpleStill need a front end for my mplayer :p01:41

kamilnadeemAlso The First post introduces non FOSS people to our very own +Ubuntu .03:41
Unit193It's nice that you have a blog, but you really shouldn't advertise it in a support channel or crosspost into 6 channels (I do think it's agenst guidelines)03:44
holsteinyeah, maybe hit the news channel kamilnadeem and add a story there... that'll get the word out without cross-posting :)03:45

ashickur-noorwhat is your purpose of bridging network?17:13
ashickur-noorsharing file or sharing internet?17:13
eyadofthe both17:13
nlsthzneyadof: in vbox, right click the netowork icon of the virtual machine and channge NAT ro Bridged...17:14
eyadofi do this17:14
nlsthznnot inside the guest OS, in Vbox itself17:14
ashickur-noorif you want to share internet then use NAT17:14
nlsthzneyadof: you want to give the guest OS access to the internet right?17:15
ashickur-noorto file share Use Host only adapter17:15
eyadofok so i have to use two adapter17:16

* nlsthzn might not be understanding the whole question / issue ... sorry for just jumpin in like that... ashickur-noor you seem to have it covered... carry on17:16
ashickur-nooreyadof: not sure17:17
eyadofmmm17:17

nlsthzneyadof: what are you trying to achieve exactly... you want the vbox guest to have access to the Internet?17:19
eyadofi want to bind some virtual os to ubuntu server to test some things17:21
eyadofand my host os too .17:21
Lorizeanhey, I got a question about locales. I'm trying to run a japanese program via wine and I use "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine ...", but the locale doesn't get recognized by wine17:22
LorizeanI got the japanese language installed and all17:22
nlsthzneyadof: I am not understaning 100%, do you want to for example, SSH into your virtual box guest from the host system etc?17:22
eyadofyes some thing like that17:23
eyadofand from guest to the host17:23
nlsthzneyadof: ok... in the bottom of the virtual box guest you will see the netowrk icons (two small PC's), right click select network settings... change NAT to bridged adn your good to go...17:25
* nlsthzn was playing around with a server in a vbox sessions just last week :)17:26
eyadofok i do that17:26
jconnerhello everyone17:26

r4yHello19:21
r4yI think it was my install of Ubuntu that caused the supposed bad sectors to possibly fictiously exist.19:24
holsteinr4y: if so, you should report the error as a bug report19:24
holsteinthat personally has never happened to me19:24
r4yI ran DBAN, then I ran Disk Utility on a live CD of Ubuntu and there was no show of problems, then I ran SpinRite and no problems19:25
holsteinbut, if you were to do BTRFS i would expect some 'beta'-ness19:25
r4yI am running Disk Utility right now to check again19:25
holsteinyou can have file system erros that fsck would fix that dont mean the hard drive is bad/failing19:26
holsteinyou can get those from shutting down improperly... bad ram maybe?19:26
r4yWhat if the problem was fixed. That was an install from a CD I made around the time 10.04 first came out19:26
holsteinr4y: the problem would be specific to your installation19:27
holsteinthe install would be fine, then something would cause some bad data19:27
holsteinyou might actually have the one and only isolated case where linux broke your hard drive19:27
r4yHmm, how do I check the ram?19:27
holsteinbut, generally, when you hear the sound of hooves, look for horses, not zebras, or so they say..19:28
holsteinr4y: at boot, there a memory test19:28
holsteintheres one all all the live ubuntu CD's (and all the variants im aware of)19:28
holsteinas well as several memory tests on that ultimate boot cd i mentioned19:29
r4yRight, that's using Ubuntu for the ram test, right?19:29
holsteinhttp://www.memtest.org/19:29
holsteinr4y: nope19:29
r4yIs that in Disk Utility from the live cd?19:29
holsteinthats using the ubuntu disc to initiate memtest which is included on the live CD's19:29
holsteinr4y: nope19:30
holsteinbefore booting19:30
holsteinyou hit shift to show the advanced options19:30
holsteinyou'll see 'install' 'run live' and 'memory test'19:30
r4yO, I think I know what you mean, sorry19:30
holsteinalso, from you installation19:30
holsteinin grub, you'll see 'memtest'19:30
r4yI meant earlier, I was asking that after installing Ubuntu at boot memtest is there so19:31
r4yIt used to be we had to hold down esc or tab to get grub to show and it used to say what to hold down. Now it's shift I think.19:32
holsteinright19:32
holsteinused to me not hidden19:33
holsteini go in and edit GRUB to be not hidden19:33
* holstein gotta run..19:33
r4yO OK19:33
r4yShould I install and then run fsck19:33
r4yOK, never mind19:34
r4yOK, I read everything over again. Bye19:37
