c_anyone know of a new drm-based encoding that's out there for audio cds?00:03
Resistancei dont think this'd be the channel to ask that c_00:03
c_it's really burning my a$$$...00:04
c_Resistance: the only reason I ask here is that my son bought me a new cd for xmas, it worked fine on his windows 7 laptop, it will NOT work on my established, trustworthy hardy-based computer, but does work on this new install00:05
c_not even vlc will play it on the older machine, which has every bloody codec int he world installed00:05
c_that means it's linked to something unknown and available in lynx, but not hardy heron?00:06
c_Resistance: do you know another channel where I might be able to tease out the answer to my drm-based question00:07
c_I'm not trying to circumvent or break anything, after all; it's a valid, commercially-bought audio cd I want to enjoy, that's all00:08
Resistancec_:  you might need the restricted extras00:09
Resistance!restricted | c_00:09
ubottuc_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats00:09
c_Resistance: that's already installed on my hardy server, where the audio cd won't play00:10
c_here kubuntu-restricted-extras isn't installed yet, but here it plays...go figure00:10
c_the audio cd even has all the tracks in ogg-vorbis format, they won't play on the hardy computer even though I can rip in that format00:13
c_because all ogg-borbis codecs are installed there00:14
c_and here I was pleased that anti records was taking a "no to drm" stance...grrrr00:14
c_anyway...gonna purge NM here and try to restart with the wicd-based static ip00:15
c_thx guys...I'll be back if wicd doesn't work and I have to reinstall the other NM00:16

BarkingFishThat was really weird. I just had for the first time ever, to do a sysrq sequence to get my system to reboot.  I opened the new version of firefox, 9.0.1, and it killed my system - nothing would move or click, mouse froze, and the machine sounded like it was trying to shred a car.01:13
BarkingFishI've never had to use REISUB at all.  I don't know what firefox did, but I sure as hell don't like it,01:14
Kimlarouxwhat's this sysrp sequence thing?01:16
KimlarouxIn those cases I usually hold the power button to hard reboot my computer >.>01:17
BarkingFishyeah, if I hold down the power button, it powers the machine off without stopping anything01:17
BarkingFishREISUB is an acronym - Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken :)01:18
Kimlarouxbut if it's broken, how to you use it?01:19
DarthFrogKimlaroux: It also means "re-install".  :-)01:19
BarkingFishR resets the Keyboard, E Sends out Sigterm to everything except the Init, I Sends sigkill to the same, S syncs all mounted file systems, U remounts everything R/O, and B orders a reboot01:20
BarkingFishKimlaroux: It's one of the only things I know - the keyboard might not be entirely borked, the system may just be running slowly - eventually it catches up01:21
BarkingFishyou do that sequence slowly, like maybe 2 or 3 seconds between each key, and it reboots your machine safely01:21
Kimlarouxnice... but how do you start the thing? is it a keyboard combination or a command you have to type in console?01:21
BarkingFishYou hold down ALT and SysRq, then press those keys in the order given01:22
BarkingFishYou may find SysRq on the PrtSc key, or it may be separate01:22
BarkingFishNote, you press the keys while holding down Alt & SysRq, so you sorta need to be a contortionist :)01:23
Kimlarouxoh it says "syst" on my laptop's button... but in blue, that usually means I have to press Fn to use it01:24
Kimlarouxso alt+fn+printScreen+R...01:24
Kimlarouxoutch01:24
BarkingFishyeah, that might be a bit tricky01:24
KimlarouxI'm so taking a not of this... thanks for the tip01:24
Kimlarouxnote*01:24
BarkingFishno problem01:26
BarkingFishthere are other SysRq codes too, like Rapid poweroff, which is kind of dangerous, but useful if you have some sort of civil emergency as a shutdown01:26
BarkingFishAlt SysRq O01:26

thechrisanyone know how to get a usb wifi adapator to work in linux?04:03
DarthFrogthechris: Just plug it in.04:05
thechrisDarthFrog: and how do I get it to find AP's?04:05
thechrisbecause right now, it doesn't04:05
DarthFrogUse the network tools (do you have a network icon on your systray?) to configure it.04:06
DarthFrogWithin the network config is a scan utility.04:06
thechrisDarthFrog: it doens't show any results04:07
thechrisbut the wifi is up.  My laptop is connected to it right now04:07
DarthFrogAnd if that doesn't work,  check that the NIC is actually supported by Linux.  Mind you, you should have done that before you bought it. :-)04:07
DarthFrogIs wireless networking enabled?04:08
thechrisIt should be, where is the setting for that?04:08
DarthFrogI use the Network Management utility.04:08
DarthFrogIt's the one in your systray that looks like an RJ-45 jack.04:09
thechrisI have "configure -- kde control module"04:09
thechriswhich has network settings04:09
thechrisAh, wireless is enabled04:10
thechrisI just don't have any AP's listed04:10
DarthFrogUse the "Manage Connections"04:10
thechrisThere are no AP's listed04:10
DarthFrogThere will be a "Scan" button somewhere that will show you the APs.04:11
thechrisYes, that shows no AP's04:11
DarthFrogAt least, it will show you the ones broadcasting their SSIDs.04:11
thechrisI see 0 AP's04:12
DarthFrogSo either there are no APs in range or no APs are broadcasting their SSID.04:12
thechrisThere are about 2 dozen AP's in range according to my laptop04:13
Kimlarouxor there's something wrong with his setup... it happened to me before04:13
thechrisand it is connected to the one that is nearby04:13
thechristhere is a button on the side of the usb device04:14
thechrisit makes an led turn blue, but doens't do anything else.04:14
DarthFrogthechris: Do you know that your device is supported?04:14
DarthFrogDoes it need to have firmware loaded?04:14
thechrisIt was listed as having "good support" when I searched google.04:14
Kimlarouxthechris, hit alt+f2, type in "driver" and hit enter04:14
thechristhe module has been loaded.04:15
DarthFrogKimlaroux:  Typing "jockey" in krunner is better than just "driver", which is ambiguous.04:15
thechrisrt280004:16
KimlarouxOh thanks, i didn't know the app was named jockey04:16
DarthFrogthechris: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralink#Linux , it needs a firmware loaded.04:17
DarthFrog!ralink | thechris04:19

thechrisi've never like ubottu04:20
DarthFrogKimlaroux: It's actually called jockey-kde.  There is also jockey-gtk and jockey-text.04:20
KimlarouxThanks04:20
DarthFrogthechris: Well, if I was the one with the problem and knowing that it needed a firmware to be loaded, I'd be trying find out how to do that.04:20

chris_rc1hello12:36
chris_rc1i have a simple, almost stupid question. since google desktop is using up 100 % of cpu time in Oneiric and the project has been shit down, i'm looking into using strigi. but i cannot find a way to access it - like a frontend. and it does not seem to be integrated into krunner. how do i access the strigi db?12:38
Torchchris_rc1: it's supposed to be in krunner, though12:38
chris_rc1is there a plugin? i cannot find it in the list. and it does show me metadata (like mails contents), so i guess Nepomuk integration works12:39
Torchchris_rc1: i guess it's the nepomuk runner, but i don't use strigi myself so i can hardly help you with this12:40
chris_rc1do you use desktop search? if yes, what can you recommend?12:41

BluesKajheh Peace- , the new user can't login , even tho the pw and username are setup properly in user management , the new user requires anew pw at login and won't accept the pw set in user management ... this is a real screwup...very disappointing16:31

Peace-BluesKaj: this sucks16:39

BluesKajPeace-, , the desktop and panel shortcuts are very handy to me16:41
BluesKajplasma is breaking the link somehow16:41
BluesKaji'm thinking there's a config file in init that's causing this , but I don't know how to fix it ...maybe I should save my ~/ withouut the ~/.files  and do a complete reinstall16:44

merlin1991BluesKaj: since when does kubuntu include pa?18:11
BluesKajmerlin1991, make sure you have web audio as well, ..like youtube etc18:12
BluesKajsince 9.10 I think merlin199118:12
merlin1991flash sound still works18:13
BluesKajI'm not a fan of pulse but I need it for web audio content otherwise I would purge it18:13
merlin1991what's the rationale behind pa?18:13
BluesKajmerlin1991, good :)18:13
merlin1991for me it was just a layer on top of alsa that made things worse18:13
DarthFrogmerlin1991:  Basically, to uncomplicate sound on Linux.  yeah, right.18:14
DarthFrogSound on Linux is the bastard child of "a maze of twisty passages, all alike" and a dog's breakfast, a horrible metaphorical miscegenation.18:14
BluesKajmerlin1991, I heard it was a political thing at canonical and one of the devs behind the pulse app lobbied like mad to have his soundserver included as default in the next ubuntu OS18:15
merlin1991ah so simple poettering :D18:16
BluesKajunfortunately flash doesn't use alsa directly with my soundcard on webcontent , so I need pulse to link it18:17
DaskreechPoettering without RedHat?18:22
BluesKajiwas gonna ask , who/what is poettering?18:26
=== cds is now known as thechris
DaskreechBluesKaj: Works for Redhat. seems very focused on rewriting nearly all layers of Linux distros above the kernel18:35
DaskreechWrote Pulseaudio and Systemd. Is currently deprecating syslogd18:36
BluesKajDaskreech, well he has some supporters at canonical for his pulseaudio app ...dunno why I can't get flash and other audio content on websites to work without pulse18:43

BluesKajDaskreech, my onboard soundcard doesn't require pulse for web audio content , but my new m-aidio 192 card does ...the m-audio works well with anything on the hdd , even flv files ...that's the odd part19:05

jmuthi. running kubuntu. I had my GT 8600 video card stopped working. That is even on BIOS level. So I had it changed with GT 7600  - old card that I had just to temporary fill the gap. Problem is that linux will not recognise this card..and after I pass the grub boot loader... screen just says no signal and thats all. no screen19:20
jmutwhere can I read how I should proceed with this19:20
=== ubuntu_ is now known as DemonWitch
DemonWitchhow can i disable hard disk checks on boot? (even forced ones)19:24
BluesKajjmut, I'm using a 7600gt as well on this pc , do you have the bios enabled for pci graphics ?19:25
jmutBluesKaj: well I should. haven't thought about it..cause 8600GT that I had was on same PCI express slot19:26
jmutBluesKaj: also I have dual boot. and all works smooth on windows with the 76019:26
jmut760019:26
BluesKajyeah, but if you rebooted without the pci card even once the default becomes the onboard19:27
jmutBluesKaj: not sure what you mean. the MB doesn't have built in video19:27
BluesKajIC , that's unusual19:28
jmutI assume I should do some trick with grub if possible to run generic video or something. although sounds weird to control this with grub19:28
jmutand from there on...to try to install valid drivers for 760019:29
BluesKajjmut, yeah , if you can get to a tty , then run , jockey-text -a19:31
BluesKajjmut, obviously you're aware that nvidia-current driver also applies to the 7600gt19:37
jmutBluesKaj: yeah..I was hoping for a miracle...but19:37
jmutBluesKaj: also..I am scanning the network... to see if it took some weird IP and get inside. no luck so far19:38
BluesKajjmut, you may need to use the nomodeset in /etc/default/grub19:38
BluesKaj!nomodeset19:38
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter19:38
BluesKajthen run sudo update-grub after editing19:39

jmutBluesKaj: donno...I rearaly use it.....it's for backup only. hardly any upgrades there. I just use it over ssh to backup now and then19:41
jmutBluesKaj: it's not 24/7 up system or something. start it up on demand19:41
BluesKajlsb_release -a19:43
jmutBluesKaj: I think nomodeset helped. and now I see why I coulnd't get ssh to system.19:47
jmutBluesKaj:  it says there are errors and F to fix ... I to ignore etc etc.. will wait a bit and see what happens19:48
BluesKajjmut, perhaps the ssh server needs updating19:49
jmutBluesKaj: now just system cannot boot yet... mentioning hdd errors. I guess when I tried to start it...it started disk check...since no mount for long time..since black screen I ctrl+alt+del it...hopefully didn't mess something. will see19:50
jmutBluesKaj:  assuming I run the system. how would you suggest is best way to update graphic drivers?19:50
jmutBluesKaj: yay. back in business. Release:        11.10   Codename:       oneiric19:53
BluesKajcool19:53
BluesKajjmut, look in kmenu>apps>system > additional drivers, choose and install the recommended driver there..it will ask for a reboot after it's finished , takes a few mins19:56
jmutBluesKaj: lovely. I think it worked out nicely. nice resolution. glxgears works.   see really weird artifacts on screen while booting kubuntu but when login screen appears all great.20:07

benonsoftwareHello pedro23:18
pawieckihi, i have very slow connection with download limits. I installed, updated and configured kubuntu 11.10 at my friends loptop. I'm impressed how good it is so i wanted to install it on my netbook too. The problem is, that updating, installing full language support and some programs is much of downloading time for me (about a day or two...) can i somehow use the packages from my friends PC?23:19
pawieckihi pedro23:19
pedroi have kubuntu 11.10 and i try to install lamp23:20

pedrothe instalation stop and i have restart23:26
Daskreechpawiecki: Yes23:27
pawieckiDaskreech: how to make it?23:28
Daskreechpawiecki: copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to your computer. The same location23:30
Daskreechpedro: why did it stop?23:30
pawieckiwill it work if i already rebooted friend's laptop?23:30
Daskreechpawiecki: Yes23:31
pawieckiand is it safe on different hardware?/23:31
pawieckimaybe it's stupid question but i want to be sure not to break something :)23:32
Daskreechpawiecki: Very few horribly stupid questions here :)23:33
DaskreechIt's a cache of the packages when you do an update that's where they are downloaded to.23:34
pedroDaskreech: i dont know why  the instalation frezed23:34
DaskreechThey are generally kept there in case of anything. If you reinstall something instead of downloading it again it just uses that file. If you copy those files to your computer it will assume that they were downloaded already and just use them once they match the checksum23:35
Daskreechpedro: where did it freeze?23:35
pedroafter de download and in 1 step of instalation23:37
pawieckiand i need to "apt-get update" ?23:37
Daskreechpawiecki: yes :)23:40
