[03:32] I should set up a pc + tv + webcam in my house just for chatb [03:32] It could be like a real life window [03:32] But with people you actually want to see on the other side :) [19:59] BobJonkman1: The compiling of ffmpeg is being problemmatic. < kicks the computer > [20:04] genii: my god [20:05] compiling ffmpeg must be terrible [20:05] oh the dependencies! [20:06] azend: It's not fun, that's for sure. [20:07] azend: Trying to get this OpenMeeting stuff installed on a server here for testing [20:07] ah very cool [20:09] I almost ran away screaming at work when they wanted me to get ffmpeg running on a server running a kernel version 2.6.16 [20:16] openmeetings is so retro looking :P [20:17] azend: If you want to try the online demo: http://demo.dataved.ru/openmeetings/ username genii pw mjkmjk [20:18] I like the whiteboard feature :) [20:24] genii: thanks for letting me test [20:24] That was a little disappointing [20:25] It requires flash to grab my webcam but doesn't actually seem to work with my webcam [20:26] My camera is a 720p facetime camera built directly into my mbp so I know it is plugged in :P [20:30] * genii shakes a fist! [20:30] Do you have any other apps which can't use the camera? [21:07] genii: aha! [21:07] I think I know why [21:07] the google hangouts background daemon crashed again :) [21:07] let me try again [21:10] Almost have the ffmpeg thing sorted out now [21:10] woohoo [21:17] azend: I gather it works now :) [21:22] yes [21:22] Just needed to sigterm GtalkPlugin [22:00] azend, genii: Does OpenMeetings require the Google Hangouts plugin in the browser? [22:00] no [22:01] but it does require the Google Hangouts plugin to not crash with a handle to my webcam still open :) [22:02] BobJonkman1: As far as I understand it just uses the client's Flash to stream their audio/video [22:03] *sigh* Flash... [22:03] Purist ;) [22:04] Tin-foil-hatted purist, no less! [22:04] Want to try out https://chatb.org/#ubuntu-ca ? [22:05] BobJonkman1: It can also use xmpp though, which is good [22:05] * BobJonkman1 removes the sticker from the camera and the stick-tack from the mic holes [22:06] BobJonkman1: If you give me a couple minutes, sure. I have to do my 5 o'clock walkthrough of the building and lock up first [22:06] 5 o'clock! Where did today go? [22:06] Any way to force a file handle closed from the command line? [22:12] `kill -9 `pidof GtalkPlugin`` [22:12] :) [22:13] That'll kill the process; does that clear file handles too? [22:14] And what if I want to close a file but not kill the process that opened it? [22:14] Never mind about machine state consistency :P [22:16] BobJonkman1: I'm just getting a large black feed and a smaller black feed underneath [22:17] Ah, the large black blob is me. Muted audio and suppressed video while waiting/ [22:18] Heh [22:21] azend: Can you join us? [22:22] When I'm done this round in my totally proprietary game, sure [22:22] :P [23:04] I can still hear you :) [23:04] Lost audio and video both... [23:05] Lost the connection now too. [23:05] BobJonkman1: Chrome seized up on me and froze the box, had to manually kill it [23:05] We'll have to do this again sometime [23:05] Sure :) [23:06] Even if we lose the video for the Ubuntu-ca Video Chat things worked OK with audio-only on the Ubuntu-us-ohio chat. [23:06] Cool === Chex is now known as Guest38367 [23:41] Bah. Another, different build failure now. [23:43] Seems I need a more recent version of ant
