wxldoesn't necessarily imply it's a replacement for the gstreamer plugin for totem00:00
wxl(which again, makes no freaking sense)00:00
KM0201if you read the description in synaptic, it does00:00
wxlohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh00:00
wxltotem-gstreamer in natty was transitional; it installed totem00:00
wxltherefore00:00
* wxl *drum roll*00:01
wxlcoolmag2: sudo apt-get install totem00:01
coolmag2i did00:01
* wxl *TA-DA!*00:01
coolmag2um00:01
wxlok then you're done with that00:01
coolmag2cp: cannot create regular file `/etc/ppscdn_config.ini': Permission denied  @_@00:01
wxlmove on to the next step00:01
coolmag2how do I get permissions undenied00:01
wxluse "sudo" before the command most likely00:01
KM0201coolmag2: you probably have something else running root at the moment...00:01
coolmag2i'm following the compiling guide00:01
KM0201..00:01
KM0201why are you compiling it?00:02
wxloh KM020100:02
wxlyou missed the whole beginning to this00:02
KM0201i guess so.00:02
wxlcoolmag2 wants ppstream00:02
KM0201oh.00:02
KM0201is there an example of a ppstream i can try?00:02
KM0201to see if i have it?00:02
wxlwell yeah00:02
wxlyou don't have it tho ;)00:02
wxlit ain't canonical approved00:02
KM0201hmm00:02
KM0201ok00:02
wxland it doesn't exist in a ppa anywhere beyond natty00:02
wxland if you can't read chinese you're unlikely to find the deb to play with00:03
KM0201lol00:03
coolmag2? It has a deb file thing for download00:03
wxli'm not freaking kidding either ;)00:03
wxlSUPPOSEDLY coolmag200:03
wxlfrom what i read in english00:03
wxlhowever a visit to ppstream.com proved rather... um, what's the word.. fruitless?00:03
coolmag2wait do you want the .deb thing00:04
coolmag2I installed it but the program is all broken00:04
coolmag2I always have to open it 3 times before it stays open00:04
coolmag2anyways here it is: http://dl.pps.tv/pps_linux_download.html00:04
wxlhttps://launchpad.net/~cnav/+archive/ppa KM020100:05
wxlhttp://download.ppstream.com/linux/readme.txt00:05
wxlomg00:05
wxlUbuntu 8.04+00:06
wxldid you make sure you have libqt4-core libqt4-dbus libqt4-gui libqt4-network libqt4-webkit libqt4-xml libfuse2 mplayer00:06
wxl?00:07
wxland for that matter what version of those libs has it been built against00:07
wxlthat just seems messed up00:07
wxli wouldn't trust that deb to work with a 10 foot pole00:07
coolmag2um00:07
coolmag2I did the libqt stuff I think.00:08
KM0201wxl: trying the ppa now.00:08
coolmag2please ensure gcc and g++ and libc develop packages are installed <-- How do I do that00:08
wxlwonder why it needs fuse00:08
coolmag2do I install those with the thing00:08
KM0201hmm, nope, ppstream doesn't work there either00:10
wxlwhat probs you having KM0201 ?00:10
KM0201just the same thing, says it cannot be viewed00:11
wxlanywho i guess that gets to the core of the issue.. he's trying to get http://code.google.com/p/totem-pps/00:11
wxland he's new00:11
wxland it's compile hell ;)00:11
coolmag:D00:11
coolmagT_T00:12
wxlcoolmag2: synaptic is your friend, make use out of it to get gcc g++ and libc00:12
coolmagokeydoke00:13
wxli think you will find #lubuntu is generally full of friendly folk that don't mind helping out someone who's new00:14
wxltho usually we don't get people compiling right from the get go ;)00:15
wxl(sometimes at all)00:15
coolmag thx :D00:17
coolmagand it won't work with WINE right00:21
wxl?00:21
wxlwait, how is wine involved?00:21
coolmagPPS00:21
wxlare you drinking again???00:21
coolmagxD00:21
wxlwtf you need wine??? how?00:21
coolmaghey do you know if any Linux thing exists for funshion at all?00:23
wxli don't understand the question00:23
coolmagit's another program00:23
coolmagFunshion00:23
wxllook in synaptic00:23
wxlremember synaptic is your friend00:24
coolmagok so if it's not there it's not00:24
wxlthat means that if nothing's there it's not in the supported repositories00:24

com64nvm; figured it out; had to use chmod a+rwx03:27
Macaronihi, i just installed Rhythmbox on the latest Lubuntu, and there's no otpion to add radio streams, there's not even any radio streams by default like there is in ubuntu, why is that?04:03
holsteinMacaroni: maybe some customizations that dont come by default with the package04:16
Macaronihmm, ok, i'll check that out04:19
holsteinwhat do you want?04:19
Macaronii want to play radio from di.fm and somafm.com in rhythmbox04:24
Unit193Macaroni: Try installing  rhythmbox-radio-browser04:28
holsteinCOOL, that'll do it :)04:29
Macaroniok, thanks guys :)04:29
ickefeshi guys. do you know why it comes that i can only open some files over samba? i can open pdf's but not txt or mp3/mp405:30
Unit193Did you mount the share, or are you just browsing? I know VLC doesn't handle the smb:// protocol while others do05:34
ickefesnah, not mounted i think. noob...05:34
ickefesis there a quite easy way to mount a network dir?05:50
Unit193mount.cifs //192.168.1.100/share location -o user=USERNAME05:58
ickefesi will try that!05:58
Unit193Terminal command05:58
Su7hi !06:02
Su7lubuntu is an awesome OS, really06:02
Su7but I'd like to configure hotkeys for the volume06:02
Su7can someone help  me ?06:02
ickefesyeah, i managed to mount the dir! thank you Unit193! Had to use my brain a little and finally i succeeded06:15
ickefesthank you so much for the help!06:15
Unit193Great! Lubuntu needs you to work at it a little ;)06:15
ickefesbut it seems little slow. if i play a FLAC from my other linux computer which is about 1000 kbps it stutters but if I play a m4a which is around 192kbps it plays fine. this did not happen when both of my machines were windows.06:20
Su7Hi there07:30
Su7I'd like to create simple shortcuts in my desktop07:30
Su7on lubuntu 11.1007:31
Su7can someone help me ?07:31
bioterrorlike?07:32
Su7like shortcuts to directories on my HD07:33
Su7I can create shortcuts to apps but not to directories :-(07:34
bioterrorln -s07:34
Su7yes but the path to this very directory is quite complicated07:35
Su7with non-ascii characters07:36
Su7isn't there a way to create one using a gui ?07:36
JohnDoe_71RusSu7: create shortcuts pcmanfm to open that directory07:39
JohnDoe_71Rusthink exec pcmanfm "/some/folder" am i right?07:40
Su7JohnDoe_71Rus : don't understand, do I run that command in a terminal ?07:43
Su7just opens the directory in the FM GUI; still not able to create shortcuts to my directories :(07:43
JohnDoe_71RusSu7: first try in terminal07:44
JohnDoe_71Rusthen create shortcut to pcmanfm and change command, properties07:45
Su7yes but as I have a very weird bath I can't write it in pcmanfm command07:48
Su7I can access to the folder using cd but not in a single space07:49
Su7the path contains spaces, special latin characters, etc07:49
Su7* in a single path sorry07:50
JohnDoe_71Rususe "" quotes to write path07:52
Su7still does not work using quotes07:54
Su7I don't understand why creating shortcuts to directories is not implemented in KDE07:54
JohnDoe_71Ruswork on lxde in progress07:55
JohnDoe_71Rusif you try some like this /home/asm/space\ space\ space/binary/dosemu07:56
Su7that is exactly what I tried !07:56
JohnDoe_71Rus"/home/asm/space space space/binary/dosemu"07:57
Su7yes with dual quotes07:58
Su7ok07:59
Su7works without \07:59
Su7trying to create a shortcut right now07:59
Su7JohnDoe_71Rus : works like a charm, thanks !08:10
Su7JohnDoe_71Rus : I have another question for you : how can I configure hotkeys ?08:11
Su7Or maybe someone else can tell me how to configure hotkeys for tuning up alsamixer ?08:30
AscavasaionHello there.09:17
AscavasaionIf I change the CPU in my old machine from an AMD Duron 1300MHz to an AMD Athlon 2300MHz would I need to change kernels etc.?  Oh, and will the thing still work at all?09:18
JohnDoe_71Ruslinux-image-*-generic? will work09:19
AscavasaionJohnDoe_71Rus: Thank you :)09:19
AscavasaionJohnDoe_71Rus: Do you think the performance gain will be noticable and worth the effort?09:20
JohnDoe_71Rusperformance depends on several factors09:22
AscavasaionYeah, RAM being foremost I think ehhe09:22
JohnDoe_71Rusand speed memory controller09:23
AscavasaionSpeed memory controller?  What is that?09:23
JohnDoe_71Rusmemory tramsfer09:24
JohnDoe_71Rus*transfer09:24
AscavasaionOh, would not know what to change there.09:24
JohnDoe_71Russingle or double mode memory09:25
AscavasaionSee, that I know  nothing about hehe09:25
AscavasaionOh well, I just tried every bus frequency setting and the monitor does not come out of standby when I power up.09:32
AscavasaionIs there a channel on here I could join for hardware help?  #hardware perhaps?09:33

greg___can I ask someone a simple question about lubuntu?15:29
phillwdon't ask to ask... just do it :)15:29
greg___:)15:30
greg___I feel dumb asking it, but how does one add programs to the start menu? I'm trying to add a jre file (java -jar OmegaT)15:30
greg___Is there a gui for manipulating the start menu?15:30

phillwYou'll find the FAQ has some good stuff in it :)15:32
greg___thanks, I was already there, but I had problems15:32
greg___I suppose my second question (is there a gui for the start menu) is more applicable15:33
phillwgreg___: not as yet.15:34
greg___ok, so I need to create .desktop files by hand, if I understood correctly15:35
greg___in /usr/share/applications/ ? just use a different .desktop file as an example?15:36
phillwgreg___: yeah15:37

david_j_rAnyone got a good recommendation for external storage device with Lubuntu?20:40
wxlmake your own20:41
bioterrormirrored drives with lots of warranty20:41
bioterrorthey all seems to suck nowdays20:41
wxlsome more than others20:41
david_j_rI have a "WD MyBook" I use with the Windows machines around the house - it doesn't seem to like Lub. :(20:42
wxlbut those "external drives" out there blow20:42
wxlexactly, like those20:42
david_j_rSadly....20:42
bioterrorI have too20:42
wxlmy gripe about them, mainly, is cheap drives20:42
bioterror500GB one from 2008 or something20:43
wxlbut i'm sure you can make it work20:43
wxlis it fat or ntfs?20:43
david_j_rWorks fine with the Win machines, but we have a couple older workhorse laptops on *buntu20:43
bioterrorothers has died, but that one keep running20:43
david_j_rHmmm... now yr asking20:43
bioterrorplug it in20:43
bioterrorand run: dmesg20:43
bioterrorin terminal20:43
bioterrorand it will tell what's happening20:43
david_j_rOK - will be back in a few mins20:43
david_j_rso bioterror -20:49
david_j_rdmesg gives me 846 lines of output!20:49
david_j_rFor the terminally curious (as it were), can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/aJNVhBmW20:49
david_j_rbut short answer seems to be NTFS20:50
david_j_ras reported by Lubuntu's Disk Utility20:51
wxlbut it doesn't show up in pcmanfm?20:51
david_j_ryep it does20:52
wxlum20:52
wxlthen what's the problem ? ;)20:52
david_j_rdata transfer!20:52
wxl?20:52
david_j_rI copied quite a bit over, but just got directory structure and only a few files20:53
david_j_ris NTFS a problem?20:53
wxlit wasn't until 4 years ago that it became possible to read and write in linux to ntfs20:53
wxlit's not necessarily a problem20:53
wxlbut it's more of a problem than, say, fat20:54
david_j_rWould it have been a problem for 9.04/Jaunty?20:54
wxlno clue20:54
wxlwhy?20:54
Unit193With ntfs-3g, it's not really a problem20:54
david_j_rThat's what this machine was running before 11.10 Lubuntu20:54
wxlif it worked there it should work here20:55
david_j_rand some data on that MyBook from the 9.04 tfr's gives me I/O errors20:55
david_j_rwell that's just it -- it didn't work very well with 9.0420:55
david_j_rso if folks here knew something reliable for *buntus, that would be a help20:55
bioterrorthey are all the same with usb20:56
wxlit should have been ~7 that ntfs-3g went in20:56
wxlcannot write encrypted or compressed files at the file system level20:58
david_j_rso ... what happens to ZIP files then?20:59
wxlthey're compressed at the file level20:59
wxlshould be fine20:59
david_j_rWell, I'll live with it a bit longer - maybe it will behave better on this newer system.21:00
wxli can't rememebr if i formatted my usb drive at home ntfs or not21:00
wxli don't think i did21:01
wxland any time i've had something i've used for sharing i did fat21:01
wxlneedless to say i've connected to ntfs drives a la samba21:02
david_j_rthat's beyond my range! but thanks for the feedback - that's been useful.21:05
wxlthere's really no good reason it shouldn't owrk21:06
david_j_ralso good to know! might have been a quirk on the day.21:07
david_j_rthat's me away then. Thanks again!21:08
wxldavid_j_r: file a bug report if it happens again21:09
david_j_rOK - will keep an eye on it.21:09
wxlhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReportingBugs21:09
wxlit's super easy if you've never done it before21:09
david_j_rBookmarked. Done it elsewhere, but not with Launchpad.21:11
david_j_rGot one or two screen quirks that probably ought to be filed - or check to see if someone else has.21:12
david_j_rMentioned them on "One Stop" thread on the ubuntu forum, but no traction.21:12
Unit193http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html Is a good read too21:12
mark76BRB21:12
david_j_rUnit193 - that's like some of the "how to ask questions" advice you see sometimes.21:13
david_j_rgood advice indeed21:13
Unit193:D21:14
Unit193I need to have3 a good read of it21:14
david_j_rhttp://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html21:14
david_j_rwas the one I was thinking of21:15
wxli find that everyone wants to be helpful21:15
wxli've found that to be especially true here21:15
wxlbut people pay attention to bug reports21:15
wxlit's someone's "job" so to speak ;)21:15
david_j_rwhich is right - devs can't monitor the community sources, and need a structure way to deal with issues21:16
david_j_r*structured way21:16
wxlright21:16
wxland most issues are support issues really.. the sorts of things devs would just snap back with rtfm ;)21:17
wxland/or pebkac21:17
david_j_rlol - hadn't seen that one before.21:17
david_j_rI have quite a few problems in that space :)21:17
wxlhahahahaha21:18
wxlwe all do, my friend, we all do ;)21:18
david_j_rright - time for food! Good chatting. Bye for now!21:18
