[09:38] 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] ...with GnomePLayer coming ootb in Lubuntuit's gotta be present, right? [09:39] I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.flv -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3 [09:40] except it's not .flv but .mp4 [13:28] 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? [14:09] how much ram lubuntu requires to boot live usb? [15:36] i'm trying to install lubuntu on some old comp [15:37] i'm getting "error informing the kernel about modifications to partition ..." [15:45] drag0nius: Probably you have the disk mounted [15:46] im running installer from usb [15:47] unless it creates some partition [15:47] for installer [15:47] drag0nius: If you go to a terminal and put: sudo partprobe does it say anything informative? [15:48] device/resources busy [15:48] gparted shows 768 mb partition [15:48] on sda2 extended to sda5 [15:49] and this disc is sda [15:49] 768 being amount of ram [15:49] so it is creating partition [15:49] for installer? [15:50] how would i modify it then? [15:50] run gparted standalone to create partition table then run installer? === holstein_ is now known as holstein [15:53] drag0nius: What is result of: mount [15:54] turned it off already [15:57] Sometimes if you choose a more exotic filesystem and the mkfs. is not available because the -tools package for it is not installed, it behaves like this. ( btrfs for instance) [16:40] should lubuntu install without problems on ~8 years old comp? [16:41] drag0nius: i would try it live... really depends. im might do 12.04 [16:41] In most cases [16:42] hmm [16:42] memtest has probs with ram [16:42] errors only [16:42] but win xp works flawlessly [16:42] maybe its just too old? xD [16:43] maybe its not using anything you notice the bad memory in [16:43] it has just errors [16:43] nothing else i think [16:43] sure.. thats about the extent.. 1 or 0.. error or no [16:44] hmm [16:45] might indeed be ram [16:45] stopped throwing errors [16:45] after a while [16:45] might be sth like dust in a slot? [16:45] Maybe vacuum it out [16:45] could be the slot... motherboard.. never know [16:46] i usually test one slot with one stick at a time [16:47] 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. [16:49] 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 [16:50] moved to other slot [16:50] just 8 errors [16:50] i might want to clean it xD [16:51] i usually dont worry with counting the errors.. i just put it in.. see an error and try another test [16:52] isnt it that ram usually dont break at all? [16:52] once i broke it myself [16:52] once i purchased faulty one [16:53] but never saw one breaking down in usage [16:53] parts break... failure is always an option [16:54] i test, and rule out issues.. [16:54] yea but ram has kinda nothing to break there [16:54] ? [16:54] unless i fry it or sth [16:54] it has chips that fail.. i have lots of bad memory sticks marked "bad" and ready for the trash [16:54] 25% passed and still just those 8 on start [16:55] gonna clean everything [16:57] hope i still have that compressor in garage xd [16:57] you can let that memtest go as long as you like [16:57] i know [16:57] i usually find errors in the first few minutes if the ram is bad [16:58] but i didnt clean anything there [16:58] before inserting ram from other comp [16:58] that might be main reason [16:58] i dont usually find dust making bad ram... i have found bad connections, or slots... or motherboard components [16:58] wont hurt to clean it out though [16:59] it was all covered in dust [16:59] i just blowed at it once myself ;d [17:00] changed slot and still just 8 errors [17:00] 43% passed [17:00] 43% of that test [17:00] when i see an error, i move on [17:01] 6th test [17:01] 46% pass [17:01] at first line from top [17:01] so it prolly went over that 8 error places couple times already [17:01] i would assume nothing [17:02] you cant assume "that place".. its more about how the ram works and where it 'wants' to put things [17:02] when i see an error, i take it as an error and move on... either testing another slot, or stick [17:02] ouch [17:02] random number sequence [17:02] throwing ... loads of errors [17:03] guess i might try double 256 [17:03] instead of 512 + 256 [17:03] 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] its one slot at a time [17:04] but still clean first [17:04] before another tries [17:04] Also try same stick in different slots [17:04] there are just 2 [17:04] second is dust all over it [17:05] 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] If one of the slots has crud inside of it, it can also mess up the other one [17:06] 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] high-end* [17:07] i have the machine its was working pretty fast before format [17:07] and neighbors have none currently so i just try to run it [17:07] drag0nius: sometimes just moving the machine can make connections break [17:07] will see [17:08] 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] i'd never assume that :P [17:09] i tried installing win xp [17:09] couple failed tries one succeded [17:09] but then i screwed with plop boot manager [17:09] broke sth [17:09] does anyone use recordmydesktop on 12.10? [17:10] 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] reinstalling xp takes longer than cleaning everything [17:10] and installing ubuntu [17:10] i also found out hdd was faulty [17:10] ~250th to 350th mb [17:10] had errors [17:10] guess that was page file of previous install [17:11] bad ram could be creating those.. i would test it with a test that takes a few hours [17:11] always at same place [17:11] took 3 scans [17:11] same count same sectors [17:11] i have *never* had luck using a hard drive in the "good" sectors ;) [17:46] I know that there's a "separate layout for each window" functionality in lxde [17:46] how can I get the same on crunchbang? [17:46] which uses openbox too [17:48] i might fire up a live CD and poke around in the lxsession stuff... you have a screenshot of what you are wanting? [17:49] a screenshot? how is it possible to take a screenshot of separate keyboard layouts in windows O_o [17:50] well, if I have 2 or more keyboard layouts [17:50] and change my keyboard layout while being focused on some window [17:50] it should change it only per that window [17:50] not globally [17:50] so if I start new application - default keyboard layout must be set automatically [17:50] Sysaxed: im just asking, because i didnt get "keyboard layout" from what you said above [17:50] but if I focus back on that window.. [17:52] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131341 maybe Sysaxed [17:55] holstein, wow [17:56] holstein, somehow I failed to find it [17:56] but I was googling a lot [17:56] I'll try it now and tell the results [17:59] holstein, wow. it works [17:59] holstein, that was simple [17:59] holstein, maybe it's going to fail under some conditions... [18:00] BUT it works!! [18:00] holstein, thank you! [18:03] Sysaxed: enjoy!... #! is a great project [18:05] holstein, weird to hear that on lubuntu channel :) [18:05] it [18:06] it's a bit not ready for the end user... remembers me first releases of lubuntu === len is now known as Guest77804 [21:49] I hope this isn't like, a really stupid question but I have a question [21:49] OK so I've got this netbook that needs to run some flavor of Ubuntu in order to run ROS (robot operating system) [21:50] I installed Lubuntu 12.10 using the mini ISO and wifi and it was great [21:51] except that ros.org says it's not compatible with Quantal (which is 12.10 I believe) [21:51] So I'm figuring it needs 12.04 [21:51] But when I install that with the mini ISO, it doesn't seem to come with a way to enable the wfi [21:52] it seems to just have the terminal and an option for changing the wallpaper and that's about all [21:52] meant *wifi [21:53] 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? [21:56] I dont understand [21:56] what are you missing with the 12.04 compared to 12.10 [21:58] almost everything [21:59] there's no network menu, there are none of the programs 12.10 comes with [21:59] and you installed lubuntu-desktop? [21:59] or did you install lubuntu-core? [21:59] I installed the only Lubuntu option availible on the 12.04 mini ISO, which I think was core [21:59] can you plug that computer to wired network [21:59] and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [22:00] and you get it fixed [22:00] Can't now, but maybe it's a better idea to just say "screw it" until I get a wired connection availible on monday [22:01] anyway thanks bioterror [22:02] but [22:02] ifconfig -a [22:02] does it list you the wlan0? [22:02] 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 [22:03] i can barely see the little wires or be sure they're in there correctly to make a network cable [22:03] looks like my dad is gonna do it for me :) [22:03] yeah, it sucks to do twisted pair cables [22:06] sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ok [22:06] wait, will that overwrite the 12.04 with the 12.10 ?? [22:07] no [22:08] Lubuntu 12.10 is not installing grub correctly where 12.04 does just fine. [22:08] kk nice to know. sorry about the ignorant questions :) [22:08] what i do i do am i going to have to mod/hack ? [22:08] i have a qestion? [22:08] cdoublejj, have you checked that hard drive for errors? [22:08] nvm [22:09] 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 [22:11] ton of updates \o/ [22:12] bulletrulz, you solved your problem? [22:13] cdoublejj, we could help if you tell us how the grub installation fails [22:14] 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 [22:19] !grubrescue [22:19] I hate that bot [22:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:19] give that a shot [22:23] 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 [22:24] do most/all ubuntu distros have boot-repair? [22:33] cdoublejj, thats in the repos, just install it from the live environment [22:34] assuming the live has your network driver, which it does [23:11] 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] how do i get grub off there [23:11] maybe i can try a boot repair via 7 install disc [23:14] when trying to install remobo got a error for chkconfig
