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