| bennypr0fane | hello, I'm trying to rip the sound track of an .mp4 video file to mp3 using ffmpeg. I get this ouput: "Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0" Does that mean I don't have mp3 codec on my system? cause sorta sounds silly to me | 09:38 |
|---|---|---|
| bennypr0fane | ...with GnomePLayer coming ootb in Lubuntuit's gotta be present, right? | 09:38 |
| bennypr0fane | I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.flv -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3 | 09:39 |
| bennypr0fane | except it's not .flv but .mp4 | 09:40 |
| Na_Klar | when using lubuntu as live usb hdd, the usb drive is mounted as /cdrom and therefore only readable. How can I write data to the usb drive in spite of? | 13:28 |
| drag0nius | how much ram lubuntu requires to boot live usb? | 14:09 |
| drag0nius | i'm trying to install lubuntu on some old comp | 15:36 |
| drag0nius | i'm getting "error informing the kernel about modifications to partition ..." | 15:37 |
| genii-around | drag0nius: Probably you have the disk mounted | 15:45 |
| drag0nius | im running installer from usb | 15:46 |
| drag0nius | unless it creates some partition | 15:47 |
| drag0nius | for installer | 15:47 |
| genii-around | drag0nius: If you go to a terminal and put: sudo partprobe does it say anything informative? | 15:47 |
| drag0nius | device/resources busy | 15:48 |
| drag0nius | gparted shows 768 mb partition | 15:48 |
| drag0nius | on sda2 extended to sda5 | 15:48 |
| drag0nius | and this disc is sda | 15:49 |
| drag0nius | 768 being amount of ram | 15:49 |
| drag0nius | so it is creating partition | 15:49 |
| drag0nius | for installer? | 15:49 |
| drag0nius | how would i modify it then? | 15:50 |
| drag0nius | run gparted standalone to create partition table then run installer? | 15:50 |
| === holstein_ is now known as holstein | ||
| genii-around | drag0nius: What is result of: mount | 15:53 |
| drag0nius | turned it off already | 15:54 |
| genii-around | Sometimes if you choose a more exotic filesystem and the mkfs.<fstype> is not available because the <fstype>-tools package for it is not installed, it behaves like this. ( btrfs for instance) | 15:57 |
| drag0nius | should lubuntu install without problems on ~8 years old comp? | 16:40 |
| holstein | drag0nius: i would try it live... really depends. im might do 12.04 | 16:41 |
| genii-around | In most cases | 16:41 |
| drag0nius | hmm | 16:42 |
| drag0nius | memtest has probs with ram | 16:42 |
| drag0nius | errors only | 16:42 |
| drag0nius | but win xp works flawlessly | 16:42 |
| drag0nius | maybe its just too old? xD | 16:42 |
| holstein | maybe its not using anything you notice the bad memory in | 16:43 |
| drag0nius | it has just errors | 16:43 |
| drag0nius | nothing else i think | 16:43 |
| holstein | sure.. thats about the extent.. 1 or 0.. error or no | 16:43 |
| drag0nius | hmm | 16:44 |
| drag0nius | might indeed be ram | 16:45 |
| drag0nius | stopped throwing errors | 16:45 |
| drag0nius | after a while | 16:45 |
| drag0nius | might be sth like dust in a slot? | 16:45 |
| genii-around | Maybe vacuum it out | 16:45 |
| holstein | could be the slot... motherboard.. never know | 16:45 |
| holstein | i usually test one slot with one stick at a time | 16:46 |
| genii-around | There's a lot of things it might be. Could be the ram is overclocked in bios. Could just be crud in there. Could be overheating. Could just be old and failing. | 16:47 |
| holstein | theres a reason why techs charge a nice hourly rate for tracking these issues down.. and why folks usually dont pay that, and just get new hardware | 16:49 |
| drag0nius | moved to other slot | 16:50 |
| drag0nius | just 8 errors | 16:50 |
| drag0nius | i might want to clean it xD | 16:50 |
| holstein | i usually dont worry with counting the errors.. i just put it in.. see an error and try another test | 16:51 |
| drag0nius | isnt it that ram usually dont break at all? | 16:52 |
| drag0nius | once i broke it myself | 16:52 |
| drag0nius | once i purchased faulty one | 16:52 |
| drag0nius | but never saw one breaking down in usage | 16:53 |
| holstein | parts break... failure is always an option | 16:53 |
| holstein | i test, and rule out issues.. | 16:54 |
| drag0nius | yea but ram has kinda nothing to break there | 16:54 |
| holstein | ? | 16:54 |
| drag0nius | unless i fry it or sth | 16:54 |
| holstein | it has chips that fail.. i have lots of bad memory sticks marked "bad" and ready for the trash | 16:54 |
| drag0nius | 25% passed and still just those 8 on start | 16:54 |
| drag0nius | gonna clean everything | 16:55 |
| drag0nius | hope i still have that compressor in garage xd | 16:57 |
| holstein | you can let that memtest go as long as you like | 16:57 |
| drag0nius | i know | 16:57 |
| holstein | i usually find errors in the first few minutes if the ram is bad | 16:57 |
| drag0nius | but i didnt clean anything there | 16:58 |
| drag0nius | before inserting ram from other comp | 16:58 |
| drag0nius | that might be main reason | 16:58 |
| holstein | i dont usually find dust making bad ram... i have found bad connections, or slots... or motherboard components | 16:58 |
| holstein | wont hurt to clean it out though | 16:58 |
| drag0nius | it was all covered in dust | 16:59 |
| drag0nius | i just blowed at it once myself ;d | 16:59 |
| drag0nius | changed slot and still just 8 errors | 17:00 |
| drag0nius | 43% passed | 17:00 |
| holstein | 43% of that test | 17:00 |
| holstein | when i see an error, i move on | 17:00 |
| drag0nius | 6th test | 17:01 |
| drag0nius | 46% pass | 17:01 |
| drag0nius | at first line from top | 17:01 |
| drag0nius | so it prolly went over that 8 error places couple times already | 17:01 |
| holstein | i would assume nothing | 17:01 |
| holstein | you cant assume "that place".. its more about how the ram works and where it 'wants' to put things | 17:02 |
| holstein | when i see an error, i take it as an error and move on... either testing another slot, or stick | 17:02 |
| drag0nius | ouch | 17:02 |
| drag0nius | random number sequence | 17:02 |
| drag0nius | throwing ... loads of errors | 17:02 |
| drag0nius | guess i might try double 256 | 17:03 |
| drag0nius | instead of 512 + 256 | 17:03 |
| holstein | i would try only one at a time.. only one slot at a time.. mark the bad ones.. choose the good ones... then choose a final setup | 17:03 |
| drag0nius | its one slot at a time | 17:03 |
| drag0nius | but still clean first | 17:04 |
| drag0nius | before another tries | 17:04 |
| genii-around | Also try same stick in different slots | 17:04 |
| drag0nius | there are just 2 | 17:04 |
| drag0nius | second is dust all over it | 17:04 |
| holstein | yup.. thats what im suggesting.. a 'known good' stick in all slots.. to rule out the slots or the motherboard as an issue | 17:05 |
| genii-around | If one of the slots has crud inside of it, it can also mess up the other one | 17:05 |
| holstein | yeah... its challenging... sometimes on a machine of that vintage, its not worth the hassle.. when you can find highed p4's in the trash now... | 17:06 |
| holstein | high-end* | 17:06 |
| drag0nius | i have the machine its was working pretty fast before format | 17:07 |
| drag0nius | and neighbors have none currently so i just try to run it | 17:07 |
| holstein | drag0nius: sometimes just moving the machine can make connections break | 17:07 |
| drag0nius | will see | 17:07 |
| holstein | drag0nius: if you are thingking "lubuntu broke my hardware".. just take the hard drive out and you'll soon find that its likely not the fault of any software | 17:08 |
| drag0nius | i'd never assume that :P | 17:08 |
| drag0nius | i tried installing win xp | 17:09 |
| drag0nius | couple failed tries one succeded | 17:09 |
| drag0nius | but then i screwed with plop boot manager | 17:09 |
| drag0nius | broke sth | 17:09 |
| pmatulis | does anyone use recordmydesktop on 12.10? | 17:09 |
| holstein | sure.. im just addressing "everything was fine before the format" ...thats likely just a symptom of bad ram.. i remember getting xp to install with bad ram.. took me a while back then to diagnose the issue | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | reinstalling xp takes longer than cleaning everything | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | and installing ubuntu | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | i also found out hdd was faulty | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | ~250th to 350th mb | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | had errors | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | guess that was page file of previous install | 17:10 |
| holstein | bad ram could be creating those.. i would test it with a test that takes a few hours | 17:11 |
| drag0nius | always at same place | 17:11 |
| drag0nius | took 3 scans | 17:11 |
| drag0nius | same count same sectors | 17:11 |
| holstein | i have *never* had luck using a hard drive in the "good" sectors ;) | 17:11 |
| Sysaxed | I know that there's a "separate layout for each window" functionality in lxde | 17:46 |
| Sysaxed | how can I get the same on crunchbang? | 17:46 |
| Sysaxed | which uses openbox too | 17:46 |
| holstein | i might fire up a live CD and poke around in the lxsession stuff... you have a screenshot of what you are wanting? | 17:48 |
| Sysaxed | a screenshot? how is it possible to take a screenshot of separate keyboard layouts in windows O_o | 17:49 |
| Sysaxed | well, if I have 2 or more keyboard layouts | 17:50 |
| Sysaxed | and change my keyboard layout while being focused on some window | 17:50 |
| Sysaxed | it should change it only per that window | 17:50 |
| Sysaxed | not globally | 17:50 |
| Sysaxed | so if I start new application - default keyboard layout must be set automatically | 17:50 |
| holstein | Sysaxed: im just asking, because i didnt get "keyboard layout" from what you said above | 17:50 |
| Sysaxed | but if I focus back on that window.. | 17:50 |
| holstein | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131341 maybe Sysaxed | 17:52 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, wow | 17:55 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, somehow I failed to find it | 17:56 |
| Sysaxed | but I was googling a lot | 17:56 |
| Sysaxed | I'll try it now and tell the results | 17:56 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, wow. it works | 17:59 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, that was simple | 17:59 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, maybe it's going to fail under some conditions... | 17:59 |
| Sysaxed | BUT it works!! | 18:00 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, thank you! | 18:00 |
| holstein | Sysaxed: enjoy!... #! is a great project | 18:03 |
| Sysaxed | holstein, weird to hear that on lubuntu channel :) | 18:05 |
| Sysaxed | it | 18:05 |
| Sysaxed | it's a bit not ready for the end user... remembers me first releases of lubuntu | 18:06 |

| BenMcLean | I hope this isn't like, a really stupid question but I have a question | 21:49 |
| BenMcLean | OK so I've got this netbook that needs to run some flavor of Ubuntu in order to run ROS (robot operating system) | 21:49 |
| BenMcLean | I installed Lubuntu 12.10 using the mini ISO and wifi and it was great | 21:50 |
| BenMcLean | except that ros.org says it's not compatible with Quantal (which is 12.10 I believe) | 21:51 |
| BenMcLean | So I'm figuring it needs 12.04 | 21:51 |
| BenMcLean | But when I install that with the mini ISO, it doesn't seem to come with a way to enable the wfi | 21:51 |
| BenMcLean | it seems to just have the terminal and an option for changing the wallpaper and that's about all | 21:52 |
| BenMcLean | meant *wifi | 21:52 |
| BenMcLean | so I'm wondering, what packages would I need to include to get that in 12.04 or is it just not there in 12.04 or whta? | 21:53 |
| bioterror | I dont understand | 21:56 |
| bioterror | what are you missing with the 12.04 compared to 12.10 | 21:56 |
| BenMcLean | almost everything | 21:58 |
| BenMcLean | there's no network menu, there are none of the programs 12.10 comes with | 21:59 |
| bioterror | and you installed lubuntu-desktop? | 21:59 |
| bioterror | or did you install lubuntu-core? | 21:59 |
| BenMcLean | I installed the only Lubuntu option availible on the 12.04 mini ISO, which I think was core | 21:59 |
| bioterror | can you plug that computer to wired network | 21:59 |
| bioterror | and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 21:59 |
| bioterror | and you get it fixed | 22:00 |
| BenMcLean | Can't now, but maybe it's a better idea to just say "screw it" until I get a wired connection availible on monday | 22:00 |
| BenMcLean | anyway thanks bioterror | 22:01 |
| bioterror | but | 22:02 |
| bioterror | ifconfig -a | 22:02 |
| bioterror | does it list you the wlan0? | 22:02 |
| BenMcLean | ya know its kinda sucky. i am visualy impaired which means when one of my cat5 network cables busts, i need somebody else to fix it for me | 22:02 |
| BenMcLean | i can barely see the little wires or be sure they're in there correctly to make a network cable | 22:03 |
| BenMcLean | looks like my dad is gonna do it for me :) | 22:03 |
| bioterror | yeah, it sucks to do twisted pair cables | 22:03 |
| BenMcLean | sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ok | 22:06 |
| BenMcLean | wait, will that overwrite the 12.04 with the 12.10 ?? | 22:06 |
| bioterror | no | 22:07 |
| cdoublejj | Lubuntu 12.10 is not installing grub correctly where 12.04 does just fine. | 22:08 |
| BenMcLean | kk nice to know. sorry about the ignorant questions :) | 22:08 |
| cdoublejj | what i do i do am i going to have to mod/hack ? | 22:08 |
| bulletrulz | i have a qestion? | 22:08 |
| BenMcLean | cdoublejj, have you checked that hard drive for errors? | 22:08 |
| bulletrulz | nvm | 22:08 |
| cdoublejj | no but, every other instillation has worked fine and i have done quite a few. i think i might try a 12.04 install and just too a ton of updates | 22:09 |
| bioterror | ton of updates \o/ | 22:11 |
| bioterror | bulletrulz, you solved your problem? | 22:12 |
| bioterror | cdoublejj, we could help if you tell us how the grub installation fails | 22:13 |
| cdoublejj | i get blinking "_" after this last install (2nd install of 12.10), frist install of 12.10 game me a grub rescue. 12.04 never fails but, jockey crashes do to something about outdated something or other. This sia multi boot machine and has no troubles other wise | 22:14 |
| bioterror | !grubrescue | 22:19 |
| bioterror | I hate that bot | 22:19 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 22:19 |
| bioterror | give that a shot | 22:19 |
| cdoublejj | well i got GR the firt time the second time dind't even get thatm uch, this time we shall see. thnaks for the link | 22:23 |
| cdoublejj | do most/all ubuntu distros have boot-repair? | 22:24 |
| bioterror | cdoublejj, thats in the repos, just install it from the live environment | 22:33 |
| cdoublejj | assuming the live has your network driver, which it does | 22:34 |
| cdoublejj | weeeelllll i have some problems fucking grub installed it's self to my sdd instead of my hdd. my sssd houses widnwos and my hdd is to house lubuntu and osx | 23:11 |
| cdoublejj | how do i get grub off there | 23:11 |
| cdoublejj | maybe i can try a boot repair via 7 install disc | 23:11 |
| bulletrulz | when trying to install remobo got a error for chkconfig | 23:14 |
