=== littlebunnyfufu is now known as Guest8773 === _7 is now known as SonikkuAmerica [04:32] Hello! First time using linux and decided to try the latest Xubuntu (install on another HD along Win 7). It's nice, but after playing couple hours yesterday already now i feel i want to simply customize customize customize more :) Well, it's something to begin with. [04:34] I wonder one thing though. I wanted to have one partition that Windows can access aswell (NTFS), and wanted to name that /media, but the installer was bitching about something, so i changed it from the available options to /windows. Is it basically the same thing? [04:37] Now that i'm thinking, maybe /media/*some name instead*... Well, probably something i can change latest. Famous last words perhaps. === xangua1 is now known as xangua === xangua is now known as angel === angel is now known as lucifer === lucifer is now known as Guest59961 === Guest59961 is now known as xangua [06:45] is it known that the updater overwrites rEFIt/rEFInd EFI on Macs? [06:46] because that just happened to me [10:36] in xubuntu, is there an equivalent of the ascii table? [10:38] yes, the character map under accessories [10:40] okee cool.... yes, i can see it under accessories. thanks knone for your help [10:49] hi knome, can u explain how use the table ? For example, how to import any character into my topenOffice text editor? [10:49] openoffice (or libreoffice) has its own tool for picking characters, see insert -> special character === Ad1_RN is now known as Ad1 [10:50] okee thanks Knome === Ad1 is now known as Ad1_RnR [13:50] good day. In xubuntu, is there an application that will take mp3, and convert them into audio, and then burn the audio music on a CD [13:54] convert to mp3 or from mp3? [13:54] mp3 is an audio file extension [13:54] well, when I try to add mp3 in k3b, it refused [13:55] so I imagine, the mp3 must be converted before it can be burned to a CD as audio [13:55] most cd players nowadays can handle mp3, well the ones i've seen at anyrate [13:56] yes u r rite, however I have an old honda civic 2004, and in my car, it only reads audio files. it don't read mp3 [13:57] looks like you need to convert them to .wav files [13:57] okeeee, yes... u probably rite... so do u know of an application in xubuntu that will do theis conversion from mp3 to .wav ? [13:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920345 is a forum that looks to have a bunch of recommendations [13:58] okee thank you [13:58] no problem :) [13:58] If it only plays standard CDs that is not any kind of file extension whatsoever. [13:59] my friend has macBook pro, and mac does the necesary conversion i.e. from mp3 to an audio CD that will play in my car [14:00] but I hate to bother him all the time, so I'd like to find a way to do it by myself [14:00] Yes, the disc has to be made as CDDA [14:00] jean-guy: Do you have xubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [14:01] no, I only have the standard application, + updates off course [14:04] jean-guy: k3b will use whatever codecs you have already. I would suggest to install the xubuntu-restricted-extras, also libavcodec54 and libavformat-extra-54 and then try to make the CD again [14:05] ok [14:06] thank you genii and Ideran for your help [14:22] hi gnii ... I install SoundConverter from ubuntu software center, and it woks... it converted my mp3 into a file with extention ogg_vorbis [14:23] and the ogg ext file, can be burned in k3b [14:24] Now, I still have to do TEST to see if my cd player in my 2004 honda civic will recognize the audio files [14:24] thanks for your help [14:24] hope it works [14:27] ya Ideran... thanks [15:30] An error has occurred, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.

[19:33] xubuntu46w: maybe.. but, are you able to get to tty? can you ssh into the machine? have you tried disabling the lock? [19:34] http://askubuntu.com/questions/215632/restart-xfce-from-tty1 is relevant [19:34] maybe simply "sudo restart lightdm" [19:39] Hmm, CTRL+ALT+F* -> no way getting back [19:40] xubuntu79w, F7 (or F8) is the GUI TTY [19:41] Yeah, I think it is F7.. but I cannot get it back [19:41] !tty [19:41] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [19:41] xubuntu79w: you literally wont hurt anthing jumping around in them.. try it [19:42] holstein: I know, but I cannot go back to the gui ; maybe it's easier when I join irc on a diff PC; brb [19:43] xubuntu79w: if you are trying to go back to the GUI, f7 or f8, and its not working,then, thats a data point [19:43] could be another issue, rather than, the one you are trying to address [19:43] no need to add to your issues, though.. now you have "i cant get my system to resume from standby, and i cant get back to tty7".. [19:43] it might also take some time, so if you bash through them, it can be possible that you don't see the GUI even if it would work [19:44] ok logged in as jensd [19:44] Okay, I'll try cycling through [19:45] CTRL+ALT+F1 = black [19:47] CTRL+ALT+F2->F6 = nothing happens [19:48] CTRL+ALT+F7->grey->black [19:49] i would try simply going into the GUI for the screensaver, and disabling screenlocking [19:50] then, i would setup ssh server while im there, so i can ssh in, or try to, as the machine is locked, and is "dead" in whatever way its dead [19:50] i would also search "ubuntu computer model" or "linux computer model" and "resume from standby" or "sleep" and see if others are having issues with that hardware [19:50] you can share any relevant model #'s here, and a volunteer can assist with that.. jensd [19:52] screenlocking should be disabled [19:53] as far as I know, I don't have any screensaver active [19:53] jensd: sure, friend.. and im not saying you do. but, in the screensaver settings i reference, you can diable the locking of the screen, when the machine goes to standby [19:54] jensd: and, it *should* be enabled, by default.. so, please, open the screensaver settings, and look for the tickbox i reference, and dsiable locking the screen when going to sleep, and test again.. [19:56] Yeah, that the one I disabled [19:57] jensd: can you ssh into the machine? after it fails to resume? can you share the model # here? [20:01] holstein: hp pavilion dm1 (AMD E-350) [20:04] jensd: you have AMD graphics,then? and you are using the proprietary driver? [20:05] Yes, I am [20:05] jensd: how was it with the open driver? are you using the driver from the repos? [20:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1887128 seems relevant [20:08] I'm using fglrx-updates in 3rd party drivers [20:10] jensd: cool.. if its me, i try the open drivers, as well, and use them, if they fit my needs, and the hardware supports them better [20:10] I'll try post#5 [20:15] did not help [20:16] holstein: I'll try open ones [20:21] okay, I can use ttl again [20:23] holstein: Is it possible that HTML canvas test is much slower with open drivers? Or might it have something to do with the chrome update? [20:27] hi, fighting a samba mount, is it possible to use a path with a space in it? i have a share 'media center', but when trying to mount it, the space is causing errors, so i tried media%20center, but that doesn't seem to work either [23:25] Hi, I'm considering just upgrading to 14.04 instead of re-installing everything like I usually do, this isn't an option I'd usually go with as I have a literal phobia of updates, in-fact since installing 12.04 I disabled updates of any kind, as a user who has thus-far never installed an update, is there anything I should know? a [23:25] so-far I have read this http://xubuntu.org/news/5-things-to-do-after-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04/ [23:27] RJ45: you disabled security updates? that's stupid [23:27] Azelphur: I know, but I seriously have a phobia of updates [23:28] and apparently no phobia of joining a botnet :) [23:28] har-de-har [23:28] just don't do anything really stupid, simple [23:29] maybe I'm ignorant, eh well [23:29] you mean, like disabling security updates? :) [23:29] ¬_¬ [23:30] RJ: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-12-04 states "First things first: make sure that you are fully up-to-date". If you have disabled updates, I'm not sure that this will end well for you. [23:30] okay well I'm going to enable updates for the first time, anything I should expect? maybe some applications breaking? (one of my reasons for just disabling stupid updates) [23:32] TBH, I'm not sure...12.04 XUBUNTU has EOL'd, but the UBUNTU spects of ot are still supported. I guess you'll just have to try it and see. [23:33] I'm always hearing horror stories of crap breaking whenever people update, biggest reason for just disabling updates [23:33] RJ, have ever had a problem, or is this this just stories from the 'net? [23:35] RJ45: Personally, I'd make sure my backups are good, try the upgrade...and if it doesn't work, do a fresh install of 14.04 [23:36] drc: I come across stories of stuff breaking after update all the time in Ubuntu/Xubuntu forums [23:37] I'm gonna make a USB boot of 14.04 just-in-case it all goes to heck [23:39] Good plan. [23:39] you do know 14.04.2 is the current iso? [23:40] yep [23:41] then...damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead :) [23:41] one of my reasons for delaying 14.04 was to wait for that last .# to get to a higher number ;) [23:42] "They" recommend updating LTS's at the .1 release. [23:43] pfft, I did that for 10.04.1 Ubuntu, it suuucked [23:44] oh one last thing, I encrypted my /home/ AFTER installation of 12.04, will this be a problem? [23:44] no idea [23:45] and I'm also experiencing that 60+ seconds to get to the desktop bug after encrypting it, a bug which doesn't seem to have a fix yet
