[00:17] When I use try to convert flv to avi using transmageddon the audio becomes out of sync. If I use ffmpeg the quality is boxy. [00:18] I mean the video becomes boxy not the audio [00:20] never heard of transmageddon, but what video encoding do you specify with ffmpeg? [00:20] I don't know what you mean [00:21] I do ffmpeg -i [00:21] I am still new to this. Less then a year maybe [00:22] I use avidemux [00:22] Then ffmpeg will transcode the video to some default video encoding and bitrate that avi can contain [00:24] Are you asking what codec I use with transmageddon?, Because I thought you were asking about ffmpeg not transmageddon [00:26] I've never heard of transmageddon. I have occationally used ffmpeg though. So yes, I was asking what video codec you used for the output format with ffmpeg [00:26] Though I do sense an urge to play some Carmageddon now. Not sure why [00:28] What webpage do you suggest for learning how to choose different codecs using ffmpeg? [00:29] http://ffmpeg.org [00:30] Ha ha, OK, thank you for the help [01:07] This is what I did: http://pastebin.com/hQFL1qA3 [01:12] I did "ffmpeg -formats" I want an example of how to use the codecs shown?, As you can see I know how to choose the file format for the input and output. How for instance can I choose both the codec and the file format for the input and output? [01:15] Hey ClientAlive just wanted to talk here as that is not a "support cahnnel " :) [01:15] rules are rules :) [01:15] np :) [01:15] so yeah install the nonfree firmware [01:15] I didn't even think about this wireless card thing or I may not have installed last night [01:15] how? [01:16] google for a tute? [01:16] sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [01:16] yep [01:16] ^ [01:17] If that dont swork we will add my patch to the driver [01:17] ok [01:17] I did install that [01:17] sudo rmmod b43 [01:17] rfkill still not installed [01:17] sudo modprobe b43 [01:17] that is ok [01:17] we will get to thtat [01:17] one thing at a time [01:18] did sudo rmmod b43 [01:18] sudo modprobe b43 [01:18] did sudo modprobe b43 [01:18] anywireless ?

[02:10] if you want. I appreciate your help so much but don't want to waste your night with me [02:10] if you tell me how to get it I will [02:11] faster to install teamviewer [02:11] oh, sure [02:11] hang on [02:11] dot have to open ports and stuff [02:11] TV = win [02:12] right on. np. Do I have to install it from the internet cause it isn't in any repo that I have [02:12] ? [02:13] http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx [02:13] I found instructions on the web also [02:13] ok, hang on [02:13] CharlesA, I added fanart support to the TV yesterday [02:17] http://imagebin.org/220422 [02:18] hahaha [02:18] after a sudo -i teamviewer_linux.deb, the output listed 5 dependencies then said "error processing teamviewer*" and "dependency problems*" Should I install each one of the dependencies then run the command to install teamviewer again? [02:18] is that the way? [02:18] yeah [02:18] ClientAlive: sudo apt-get install -f [02:18] ^ [02:19] +1 CharlesA [02:19] I think I spend too much time spamming the forums.. [02:21] I'm digging myself a hole, those dependencies have dependencies - I've been down this road before and it was ugly [02:22] there's a package called -f ? [02:22] http://imagebin.org/220423 << for TV shows under the button that is selected I am making that into a 3d desktop cube at the moment that is on javascript loop changing the fanart and actors :) [02:22] ClientAlive, -f (-fix ) [02:23] or force on of the too [02:23] bobweaver: That is pretty cool :D [02:23] it installs the dep that are needed and changes the one's that are installed [02:23] wow that's a very threatening looking warning [02:24] ClientAlive, Up to you [02:24] if you want to go the ssh route that is also up to you [02:25] I think I should make sure I'm fully updated first. I don't think I ever did that. [02:25] O_o [02:25] I've only had to use -f once or twice. [02:26] CharlesA, Yeah I have seen it cause troubles for me [02:26] with compiz once [02:26] bobweaver: Likewise [02:27] "Unknown error.... pipefail... " (among other aweful looking stuff). [02:28] When Updating ? [02:28] sorry Upgrading [02:28] id removed dash along the way (no after the update I did run sudo apt-get -f install) [02:29] ClientAlive, reboot the computer [02:29] ok [02:30] If something screws up and it won't load the o/s I'll fire up my other computer and come back here [02:30] ok [02:44] it broke in a very strange way [02:45] how so, ClientAlive ? [02:45] very strange. It hung for a long time saying it was waiting for network configuration then it finally booted the o/s. Now I have the login screen but entering my password will not log me in. Also, the mute button is on (the hardware button) and can not be turned off. [02:45] Wow. [02:46] ClientAlive: I have run into the networking config thing before if the interfaces files or persistent-net-rules were messed up [02:46] to me it looks like not all what I just typed showed up (I'm on my other computer now) [02:46] basically it timed out trying to bring up a network device [02:46] wierd [02:47] I'm stumped and I'm so tired of installing the o/s (twice now, headed for three's a charm?) [02:47] Maybe. Dunno what the problem is :( [02:47] I so don't want to go back to fedora [02:48] I like lxde on ubuntu [02:49] Try debian, maybe? [02:49] they only use FLOSS so idk if that would work [02:49] I suppose [02:54] I think I'm gonna have to give up on it for tonight. Maybe I can try to find this on old post tomorrow after reinstalling [02:55] it worked before [02:56] Good luck ClientAlive [02:56] thx [02:57] sorry I was away [02:57] reading ^^ [02:58] right on [02:58] well, I was just about to do a fresh install again (I'm here on my other computer - after what happened) [02:58] Yeah if the computer is like that there is way more then just wireless going on [02:59] I was looking for that old post on the forum too but doesn't look promising. [02:59] I had fedora on there up to last night and it worked fine. Ubutu 11.04 alpha worked fine on it and 10.10 worked fine on it. [03:00] I say 12.04 reg install then install lxde then start removing stuff ? IDK but it sounds like it needs to be more stable stuff [03:00] +1 [03:00] sux [03:00] You could also try a minimal install of 12.04 and go from there [03:00] good point CharlesA [03:01] there is also lxde-core still ? [03:01] IDK. Check here : http://lubuntu.net/ [03:02] lxde-core - Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment Core [03:02] prolly still about as heavy as gnome >.< [03:02] this should work. One thing I didn't try was jockey-gtk method (didn't know the name of the package to install) or find that old post from when you helped me before bobweaver. That worked and it worked pretty effortlessly once we figured out to do it. [03:02] that is just lxde not lubuntu [03:02] Ahhh [03:02] ClientAlive, that is what the package b43patch does [03:03] it does all that work for you [03:03] ahh, I see [03:03] ClientAlive, look here this is what we did that night [03:03] well, nothing has changed about that computer (except for maybe a few extra bad sectors :) [03:04] starting out at this point Installing b43fwcutter with out the internet connection [03:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10796508 [03:04] Post #44 [03:04] oh, cool [03:06] idk [03:06] I'll try jockey-gtk I guess then if that doesn't work I'll install regular lubuntu and start removing junk [03:06] thanks a lot for your help man (we tried) [03:07] ClientAlive, your old post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1731838&page=3 [03:07] #28 [03:07] right on [03:09] god, that was a long time ago. You were my first real experience with people in the linux community bro. I was about 3 days on linux at that time and I was totally blown away that you would help me like that. I still am :) [03:12] I gotta get off here if I'm gonna do this install. Peace out man. Have a great night. [03:13] you 2 [06:34] im using ubuntu 12.04 LTS , how can I properly configure my video card [06:34] its an Intel HD Graphics , who has shared memory with the computer [06:36] Samsung R440 [06:36] Laptop [06:36] DysteR, no configuration / driver installation necessary for that graphics device. Any issues? [06:36] Compiz keeps crashing on me [06:36] and I cannot group windows with the Group Windows option [06:36] mostly graphic errors [06:37] Sec. [06:41] DysteR, you could try upgrading your Intel video driver through this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+packages [06:42] anyone has a good way for a beginner to remap mouse buttons ??? [06:43] krytarik what do I have to do , install all those packages ??? [06:45] Sorry, the main page of that PPA is here: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [06:46] And yes, a lot of video driver packages installed by default would be upgraded, as you can also read in the PPA's description. [06:47] You can follow the instructions here to add that PPA, upgrade the packages, as well as remove, and downgrade again: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/upgrade-video-drivers-through-ppas.html [06:48] okay [06:49] was a little confused here [06:49] The version of the Intel video driver currently in that PPA is 2.19, whereas that in the official repos of Precise 12.04 is just 2.17 - so there are chances that you might have success with an upgrade. [06:49] instructions for terminal [06:49] nice [06:49] thanX krytarik [06:49] will try this now [06:50] As for remapping mouse buttons, just google for "xmodmap remap mouse buttons" - would have to do the same. [06:50] You're welcome. :-) [08:44] Hello. [08:46] Hi s-fox. Wrong channel? :P [08:47] krytarik, don't think so. Why? [08:47] me neither [08:47] :) [08:47] Happened to me yesterday. :-) [08:48] when I make a swap partition [08:48] should it be primary or logical ? [08:51] doesn't matter DysteR [08:52] DysteR, depends on whether the concerning HDD is using MBR or GPT, and if the former, the maximum of primary partitions is 4. [09:03] how to colapse the window upwards on its title [09:04] on its tab [09:04] or maybe into [09:15] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS there was a shortcut to reduce the window into its own title bar , can anyone remember it ? [09:17] I can't DysteR [09:18] :( I was just using it lol [09:20] Since I knew that "Shade" feature only from Emerald, I just google'd "shade window precise" and got this UF thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908696 [09:23] krytarik I dont think thats it [09:23] Was just playing with the keys and suddenly some windows rolled up onto the title [09:25] http://lifehacker.com/5067996/some-productive-ubuntu-kung-fu [09:25] Number 9 [09:25] it seems that you were right [09:30] DysteR, whoo, it even works in Lucid 10.04 - thanks for pointing that out! :-) [09:31] what are you pressing [09:31] I cannot find my shortcut [09:31] In Lucid 10.04, it's Ctrl+Alt+S by default. [09:32] THank you dear sir sir sir [09:33] almost there Dyster [09:33] almost [09:33] Cool! You're welcome. :-) [09:35] tell me a good way to reboot naturally Krytarik [09:36] I usually open terminal and type in [09:36] sudo reboot [09:37] Why not just via the Power icon on the left side of the top panel? [09:37] there is no restart there [09:37] only shutdown lockdown and log out [09:37] should I go for shutdown [09:38] and it will give me an option to restart ? [09:38] Just choose "Shutdown..." there - there will be a dialog then. [09:40] krytarik [09:40] you are the master [09:40] I will go to sleep now [09:40] will try more linux tomorrow [09:41] this OS demands patience [09:41] good night or morning there [09:41] Btw. you can use this command to bind the Toggle Shade feature on double-clicking the window titlebar, instead of Maximize: gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar toggle_shade - just set it that way. [09:41] ctrl + alt + s is fine by me [09:41] then I wouldnt be able to un configure it [09:41] Ok. Again, you're welcome, and good night. :-) [09:41] im a newbie still :D thanx for all the help man [09:42] im outie [09:42] The default is "toggle_maximize".

With connecting to a open wlan my knowledge stops. What is the easiest way to transfer data between 2 computers (Windows & Linux), a cable ? [12:39] I don't know. I am new to that as well, but I found this link: [12:39] http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/J-Create-Wormhole/ [12:43] I remember connecting 2 hard drives to one computer, one with Windows XP and the other with Ubuntu, then afterwards having file permission problems, so I had to learn how to change file permission massively using the commandline, but I know now that I must have done something wrong because I was told I shouldn't have had that problem, so I can't help you sorry [12:43] Still thanks :) [12:44] I've read of people using samba or something wirelessly [12:44] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-ways-to-transfer-files-from-one-computer-to-another/ [12:45] Samba & Apacha are a nightmare for me.
