| lars | I can*t find the DVD source plugin for my CD and DVD player | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| lars | I have two CD/DVD players hooked up to my PC | 00:14 |
| lars | One of them used to only work with audio files, but the new one works fine: I tested it on Windows, so I know it works | 00:15 |
| lars | Kubuntu said it would search for the plugin, but I never saw it searching, so the DVD source plugin is still missing | 00:16 |
| lars | Which is the support room for Kubuntu? | 00:18 |
| lars | Because I had so much trouble with my old iptical drive, I hooked up an external optical drive to this PC | 00:21 |
| lars | I*m running Kubuntu 12.04 | 00:22 |
| Walzmyn | lars: what do you mean source plugin? | 00:23 |
| lars | I need a source plugin for my CD player to work | 00:24 |
| lars | The external optical drive I hooked up is RetailPlus External Double-Layer 20x DVD+/-RW Writer | 00:25 |
| Walzmyn | plugin to what? | 00:25 |
| lars | My PC already has a built in CD player, but itś really tricky to get it to play DVDs | 00:26 |
| Walzmyn | a CD player can't play DVDs, they use different lasers | 00:26 |
| lars | I need the DVD source plugin, I have no idea why | 00:26 |
| lars | itś a CD/DVD player built into the PC | 00:27 |
| Walzmyn | what's telling you need a plugin? | 00:27 |
| lars | yes | 00:27 |
| Walzmyn | 'what' is not a yes or no question | 00:27 |
| lars | but Kubuntu pretends to search for the plugin, but it never really does | 00:27 |
| lars | Kubuntu is telling me | 00:27 |
| lars | when I tried to play the DVD on Dragon Player | 00:28 |
| Walzmyn | dragon player, ding. That's what we needed. Give VLC a try. or Kaffeine | 00:29 |
| Walzmyn | I have no idea why dragon player has been made the default. Kaffeine seems to work much better | 00:30 |
| lars | VLC works better, but I still can | 00:30 |
| lars | cannot play DVDs on VLC | 00:30 |
| lars | should I uninstall Dragon Player before I install VLC player? | 00:31 |
| Walzmyn | no, they have no conflict | 00:31 |
| lars | ok | 00:31 |
| Walzmyn | I think I might understand your problem, now. Gimme a sec | 00:31 |
| lars | oh yeah, it said question search Qappt codec search | 00:32 |
| Walzmyn | here, lars, see if this will solve your issue http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html | 00:34 |
| lars | Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...DVD source....Do you want to search for this now? | 00:34 |
| lars | ok, Iĺl check the link... | 00:34 |
| Walzmyn | gotta go put kids to bed. G'luck | 00:35 |
| lars | should I install it from the Muon software centre inst34ead? | 00:36 |
| Walzmyn | no, just copy paste that into a terminal. You're needing to add a reppoitory so it's not in the software center until you run those commands | 00:37 |
| lars | which commands? | 00:38 |
| lars | I thought I saw it in the Muon software centre | 00:38 |
| lars | yes, itś in there, provided by Ubuntu | 00:40 |
| lars | I successfully installed VLC Media Player, but I still can*t play DVDs | 00:46 |
| Pici | 70 | 00:48 |
| Pici | &) | 00:48 |
| lars | Kubuntu recognizes the DVD and its name and correct format, and everything works except the DVD won*t play | 00:50 |
| lars | The audio CD I put in is recognized better but it won*t play either | 00:54 |
| lars | I got the same plugin problem, this time with the audio CD | 00:57 |
| lars | Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now? | 00:58 |
| lars | I click on ÿes", then it searches for plugins, then I can hear it stop searching after like 5 seconds, and nothing happens, it still doesn*t play | 01:00 |
| lars | Kubuntu recognizes all of the files on the audio CD, just like it did with the DVD, but it cannot play anything | 01:02 |
| lars | I can open files: docs and pics, but I cannot play any CD or DVDs using either my internal or external optical drives | 01:05 |
| lars | I had a computer programmer get the internal optical drive to work to play movies and audio files, but that was before I had upgraded to a new system | 01:06 |
| lars | Hey, may be I need to look for the drivers for particular external optical drive that Iḿ using | 01:07 |
| lars | It came with a CD with drivers and software on it, but that*s for Windows | 01:08 |
| lars | How do you download and install software withou using the Muon Software Centre? | 01:09 |
| lars | is there anyone in this room? | 01:09 |
| lars | this is a test | 01:13 |
| lars | Anyone here? | 01:14 |
| lars | is there anyone in this channel? | 01:15 |
| dougl | yes | 01:16 |
| dougl | lars, what r your option? | 01:16 |
| dougl | sudo apt-get install mc | 01:17 |
| lars | for what? | 01:19 |
| lars | what does mc stand for? | 01:19 |
| dougl | mc is a package for midnight commander... will let you manage sourcecode gz files easier | 01:26 |
| dougl | you asked a loaded question I am going to overwhelm you with 3 of the more popular ways to install software without muon | 01:27 |
| dougl | you will need midinight commander to follow some of my instructions | 01:28 |
| lars | I don8t think I have midnight commander | 01:37 |
| lars | I still can*t get my optical drives to work | 01:39 |
| lars | Kubuntu can find the plugins I need to play CDs and DVDs | 01:46 |
| lars | I mean ¨can*t¨ find the plugins | 01:47 |
| lars | Kubuntu cannot find the plugins I need to play audio CDs and video DVDs | 01:47 |
| lars | Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now? | 01:47 |
| lars | the searches never come up with anything | 01:49 |
| lars | is there anyone here? | 01:51 |

| DarthFrog | lars: install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:00 |
| lars | you mean that will solve my problem, DarthFrog? | 03:02 |
| DarthFrog | I would think so. | 03:02 |
| DarthFrog | Plus also read the info I had the bot give you above. | 03:03 |
| lars | I wasn trying to run restricted formats: itś a more serious problem with my CD player, I think | 03:04 |
| lars | It doesn matter which DVD or CD I put into my optical drive, my PC can*t play anything | 03:05 |
| DarthFrog | Hardware issue? | 03:05 |
| lars | possibly | 03:05 |
| lars | but I Russian guy got it to work a few years ago | 03:05 |
| DarthFrog | Years? | 03:05 |
| DarthFrog | Get a new one. | 03:06 |
| lars | Yeah, like two or three years ago | 03:06 |
| lars | I did | 03:06 |
| lars | I bought a new external drive | 03:06 |
| lars | But I know the internal drive works, because i can open files with it | 03:06 |
| lars | I can copy and paste files from DVDs and CDs with the internal optical drive | 03:07 |
| lars | but I cannot play anything with either my internal optical drive or my external optical drive | 03:07 |
| lars | The Russian programmer got it working, but I do not know how he did it, and that was before I installed new software | 03:08 |
| lars | that was when I was running Kubuntu 11.04 | 03:08 |
| lars | Now Iḿ using Kubuntu 12.04 | 03:09 |
| DarthFrog | Is kio-audiocd installed? if not, install it. | 03:10 |
| DarthFrog | !kio-audiocd | 03:10 |
| lars | Whatś that? | 03:11 |
| lars | Can I install it using Muon Software Centre? | 03:11 |
| DarthFrog | Yes | 03:12 |
| lars | Thatś just for audio CDs, what about DVDs? | 03:12 |
| DarthFrog | I don't know what your issue is so I can't give you specific answers. | 03:12 |
| lars | I would like to play DVD videos too, but itś not necessary | 03:12 |
| DarthFrog | !libdvdcss | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 03:13 |
| lars | I can only open docs and pics with my optical drive | 03:13 |
| lars | Itś not a legal issue, itś a technical problem | 03:14 |
| lars | But I will try kio | 03:14 |
| DarthFrog | If you want to play encrypted DVD videos (i.e. movies) you will need to jump through some hoops. Those links will help you put on your jumpsuit. :-) | 03:15 |
| DarthFrog | As for playing audio CDs, it should just work out of the box. I'm fairly surprised that it isn't for you. | 03:16 |
| lars | Ok, I don*t really need to play DVD movies, but Iĺl see if I can get the audio working with the links you gabve me | 03:16 |

| svenstar | Hi I have a question about virtual desktops and Kubuntu 14.04. Although I go to my settings and choose 4 desktops the 4 little "blocks" that represent them next to the K at the bottom left do not appear although I can switch between them with ctrl/F1 etc.... | 09:18 |
| svenstar | How can I get those little block Icons in the bottom panel back? | 09:19 |
| qdata | maybe you don't have the plasma widget | 09:19 |
| qdata | unlock widgets, add the pager widget | 09:19 |
| qdata | when widgets are unlocked you'll see the cashew thingy at the right edge, usually to the right of the clock | 09:22 |
| qdata | clock that and a bar pops up, then click the Add Widgets tab | 09:22 |
| svenstar | never needed to do that before but I'll take a look | 09:23 |
| qdata | I just did a new install of 13.10 and it wasn't there so I had to add it | 09:23 |
| svenstar | yea OK it's a little blue square but it just minimises/maximises my current open app when I click on it | 09:25 |
| svenstar | no switching between desktops | 09:25 |
| qdata | the little blue square is the Show Desktop widget | 09:25 |
| svenstar | strange those little block always just appeard | 09:26 |
| qdata | yeah - oversight left it out I think | 09:26 |
| qdata | add the Pager widget and move it to where you want it | 09:26 |
| qdata | and it'll be back | 09:26 |
| svenstar | well there is plenty of time before 14.04 is released but I was just a bit stumped as the desktop blocks went AWOL | 09:28 |
| svenstar | thanx for the assistance | 09:28 |
| qdata | :-) | 09:29 |

| BluesKaj | synaptiks touchpad configuration tool. this package contains a configuration tool for touchpads. The package provides a kcm module (for systemsettings), as well as a plasma widget and kded module to help managing touchpads, especially in KDE environments. | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, then you don't have synaptiks installed, because it shows here | 13:25 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: what release are you on | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | 14.04 | 13:38 |

| noobie | Hello | 21:55 |
| valorie | o/ | 21:55 |
| noobie | I would like to ask if it is possible to disable password typing when in Kubuntu | 21:56 |
| noobie | Kubuntu Login screen | 21:56 |
| valorie | noobie: are you the only person who ever uses this computer? | 21:56 |
| noobie | no | 21:56 |
| valorie | then having no password is a really bad idea | 21:57 |
| valorie | that is your first line of security | 21:57 |
| noobie | no I mean when you type a password I can see dots | 21:57 |
| noobie | I want to disable the dots appearing | 21:57 |
| valorie | again, that is a security measure | 21:58 |
| noobie | a possitive one or a negative one | 21:58 |
| noobie | ? | 21:58 |
| valorie | it might be possible, but I would urge you instead to think of a short, easy to type passw, which is still difficult to guess | 21:58 |
| valorie | well, if there are others about, and your passw is typed in plain text, then they will know your passw | 21:59 |
| noobie | I know, but I want to set the system that when I type the password the dots which indicate that the password is being typed to disable, so no dots appear when I type it | 22:00 |
| valorie | ah | 22:00 |
| noobie | I tried to search the web but I haven't found any answers | 22:01 |
| valorie | that is far beyond my knowledge, sorry | 22:01 |
| noobie | valorie: That is OK | 22:01 |
| valorie | I think you would have to patch lightdm, unless you can talk our devels into making that change | 22:02 |
| valorie | or the lightdm devels, I guess | 22:02 |
| noobie | so that can't be changed naturally? | 22:02 |
| valorie | not that I know of | 22:03 |
| valorie | you can write to the kubuntu-devel list and make your case for the change, though | 22:03 |
| valorie | there is precedent; in the cli when you type your root passw there is no feedback | 22:04 |
| noobie | so thank you for your time | 22:14 |
| noobie | Goodbye | 22:14 |
| valorie | bye noobie | 22:14 |
| noobie | And thank you for your help of course | 22:14 |

| apachelogger | valorie: there's no asterisks because sudo suffers from a severe case of paranoia | 22:33 |
| apachelogger | there is no rationale for this other than not showing the length of the password, which IMO only supports people in using passwords like abc :P | 22:34 |
| valorie | I'm not paranoid, but I do believe in passwords | 22:35 |
| valorie | and I don't use abc | 22:35 |
| valorie | :-) | 22:35 |
| ScottyK | running kubuntu 64 on my computer. I want to run kubuntu in a VM on the same computer. I heard it's better to run the 32 bit in that instance. true or false? | 23:12 |
| valorie | ScottyK: the devels run everything in VMs | 23:13 |
| valorie | so whatever you want | 23:13 |
| ScottyK | valorie - ok thanks. I'll just go 32 bit for old times sake! | 23:17 |
| valorie | there isn't a whole lot of difference I can see these days | 23:19 |
| valorie | I put on 32-bit on my other laptop out of sheer carelessness, and everything worked fine until I tried to set up dropbox | 23:19 |
| valorie | you have to use a different line for 32 than 64 bit | 23:19 |
| valorie | lol | 23:20 |
| valorie | so it was a good test i guess | 23:20 |
| ScottyK | I wanted to run kubuntu in a vm, so I can really play around with and not screw up my main computer | 23:20 |
| valorie | that's a good idea, and the same reason the devels run all the alpha and testing stuff in VMs | 23:21 |
| ScottyK | My laptop is finally powerful enough to also do it. Loving VM more everyday | 23:22 |
| valorie | cool | 23:22 |
| valorie | I think my son told me that running windows in a vm made it run faster | 23:23 |
| valorie | he plays WoW in windows | 23:23 |
| ScottyK | My kids computer is next on the upgrade list. They still dual boot because some of their games are a pain to get working in linux, envision those games on a VM | 23:25 |
| valorie | son found the VM worked better than dual-booting | 23:30 |
| valorie | but whatever makes the customer happy! | 23:30 |
| ScottyK | kids computer is a dual core with 4GB RAM. you think that's enough to run windows in VM? The games they play are things like roller coaster tycoon, and MAME | 23:35 |
| valorie | oh gosh, i have no idea | 23:37 |
| valorie | I do have windows on this laptop, but have only started it up to test grub working | 23:38 |
| valorie | haven't really used win at all for well over 10 years | 23:38 |
