[00:14] I can*t find the DVD source plugin for my CD and DVD player [00:14] I have two CD/DVD players hooked up to my PC [00:15] 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 [00:16] Kubuntu said it would search for the plugin, but I never saw it searching, so the DVD source plugin is still missing [00:18] Which is the support room for Kubuntu? [00:21] Because I had so much trouble with my old iptical drive, I hooked up an external optical drive to this PC [00:22] I*m running Kubuntu 12.04 [00:23] lars: what do you mean source plugin? [00:24] I need a source plugin for my CD player to work [00:25] The external optical drive I hooked up is RetailPlus External Double-Layer 20x DVD+/-RW Writer [00:25] plugin to what? [00:26] My PC already has a built in CD player, but itś really tricky to get it to play DVDs [00:26] a CD player can't play DVDs, they use different lasers [00:26] I need the DVD source plugin, I have no idea why [00:27] itś a CD/DVD player built into the PC [00:27] what's telling you need a plugin? [00:27] yes [00:27] 'what' is not a yes or no question [00:27] but Kubuntu pretends to search for the plugin, but it never really does [00:27] Kubuntu is telling me [00:28] when I tried to play the DVD on Dragon Player [00:29] dragon player, ding. That's what we needed. Give VLC a try. or Kaffeine [00:30] I have no idea why dragon player has been made the default. Kaffeine seems to work much better [00:30] VLC works better, but I still can [00:30] cannot play DVDs on VLC [00:31] should I uninstall Dragon Player before I install VLC player? [00:31] no, they have no conflict [00:31] ok [00:31] I think I might understand your problem, now. Gimme a sec [00:32] oh yeah, it said question search Qappt codec search [00:34] here, lars, see if this will solve your issue http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html [00:34] Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...DVD source....Do you want to search for this now? [00:34] ok, Iĺl check the link... [00:35] gotta go put kids to bed. G'luck [00:36] should I install it from the Muon software centre inst34ead? [00:37] 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 [00:38] which commands? [00:38] I thought I saw it in the Muon software centre [00:40] yes, itś in there, provided by Ubuntu [00:46] I successfully installed VLC Media Player, but I still can*t play DVDs [00:48] 70 [00:48] &) [00:50] Kubuntu recognizes the DVD and its name and correct format, and everything works except the DVD won*t play [00:54] The audio CD I put in is recognized better but it won*t play either [00:57] I got the same plugin problem, this time with the audio CD [00:58] Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now? [01:00] 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 [01:02] Kubuntu recognizes all of the files on the audio CD, just like it did with the DVD, but it cannot play anything [01:05] I can open files: docs and pics, but I cannot play any CD or DVDs using either my internal or external optical drives [01:06] 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 [01:07] Hey, may be I need to look for the drivers for particular external optical drive that Iḿ using [01:08] It came with a CD with drivers and software on it, but that*s for Windows [01:09] How do you download and install software withou using the Muon Software Centre? [01:09] is there anyone in this room? [01:13] this is a test [01:14] Anyone here? [01:15] is there anyone in this channel? [01:16] yes [01:16] lars, what r your option? [01:17] sudo apt-get install mc [01:19] for what? [01:19] what does mc stand for? [01:26] mc is a package for midnight commander... will let you manage sourcecode gz files easier [01:27] you asked a loaded question I am going to overwhelm you with 3 of the more popular ways to install software without muon [01:28] you will need midinight commander to follow some of my instructions [01:37] I don8t think I have midnight commander [01:39] I still can*t get my optical drives to work [01:46] Kubuntu can find the plugins I need to play CDs and DVDs [01:47] I mean ¨can*t¨ find the plugins [01:47] Kubuntu cannot find the plugins I need to play audio CDs and video DVDs [01:47] Question-QApt Codec Search... ...The following plugin is required...AUDIOCD protocol source....Do you want to search for this now? [01:49] the searches never come up with anything [01:51] is there anyone here?

[03:02] I would think so. [03:03] Plus also read the info I had the bot give you above. [03:04] I wasn trying to run restricted formats: itś a more serious problem with my CD player, I think [03:05] It doesn matter which DVD or CD I put into my optical drive, my PC can*t play anything [03:05] Hardware issue? [03:05] possibly [03:05] but I Russian guy got it to work a few years ago [03:05] Years? [03:06] Get a new one. [03:06] Yeah, like two or three years ago [03:06] I did [03:06] I bought a new external drive [03:06] But I know the internal drive works, because i can open files with it [03:07] I can copy and paste files from DVDs and CDs with the internal optical drive [03:07] but I cannot play anything with either my internal optical drive or my external optical drive [03:08] 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] that was when I was running Kubuntu 11.04 [03:09] Now Iḿ using Kubuntu 12.04 [03:10] Is kio-audiocd installed? if not, install it. [03:10] !kio-audiocd [03:11] Whatś that? [03:11] Can I install it using Muon Software Centre? [03:12] Yes [03:12] Thatś just for audio CDs, what about DVDs? [03:12] I don't know what your issue is so I can't give you specific answers.

Those links will help you put on your jumpsuit. :-) [03:16] 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] 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 === stan is now known as Guest17829 === stan_ is now known as Guest60274 === Toadnohyp is now known as Hypnotoad === Guest61429 is now known as mapyth === jalcine is now known as doge_ === doge_ is now known as jalcine [07:11] good morning [07:50] I just updated from Kubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 I can't boot [07:50] due to NVIDIA driver [07:50] what can I do?

[21:56] no [21:57] then having no password is a really bad idea [21:57] that is your first line of security [21:57] no I mean when you type a password I can see dots [21:57] I want to disable the dots appearing [21:58] again, that is a security measure [21:58] a possitive one or a negative one [21:58] ? [21:58] 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 [21:59] well, if there are others about, and your passw is typed in plain text, then they will know your passw [22:00] 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] ah [22:01] I tried to search the web but I haven't found any answers [22:01] that is far beyond my knowledge, sorry [22:01] valorie: That is OK [22:02] I think you would have to patch lightdm, unless you can talk our devels into making that change [22:02] or the lightdm devels, I guess [22:02] so that can't be changed naturally? [22:03] not that I know of [22:03] you can write to the kubuntu-devel list and make your case for the change, though [22:04] there is precedent; in the cli when you type your root passw there is no feedback [22:14] so thank you for your time [22:14] Goodbye [22:14] bye noobie [22:14] And thank you for your help of course === thomas is now known as Guest40674 [22:33] valorie: there's no asterisks because sudo suffers from a severe case of paranoia [22:34] 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 [22:35] I'm not paranoid, but I do believe in passwords [22:35] and I don't use abc [22:35] :-) [23:12] 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? [23:13] ScottyK: the devels run everything in VMs [23:13] so whatever you want [23:17] valorie - ok thanks. I'll just go 32 bit for old times sake! [23:19] there isn't a whole lot of difference I can see these days [23:19] 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] you have to use a different line for 32 than 64 bit [23:20] lol [23:20] so it was a good test i guess [23:20] I wanted to run kubuntu in a vm, so I can really play around with and not screw up my main computer [23:21] that's a good idea, and the same reason the devels run all the alpha and testing stuff in VMs [23:22] My laptop is finally powerful enough to also do it. Loving VM more everyday [23:22] cool [23:23] I think my son told me that running windows in a vm made it run faster [23:23] he plays WoW in windows [23:25] 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 [23:30] son found the VM worked better than dual-booting [23:30] but whatever makes the customer happy! [23:35] 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 [23:37] oh gosh, i have no idea [23:38] I do have windows on this laptop, but have only started it up to test grub working [23:38] haven't really used win at all for well over 10 years
