mrkrampsDUKENUKEM, you should be able to select the specific drive in the next step00:02
DUKENUKEMgod dang it i wish i knew that before00:03
mrkrampsand in case of doubt just unplug /dev/sdb00:03
DUKENUKEMi just made a 250mb ext2 partition mount point /boot at sda1, and then made LVM crypto partition ext4 mount point /00:03
DUKENUKEMhopefully thats enough00:03
DUKENUKEMi didnt use a swap i figured i would add it later as a swap file00:04
DUKENUKEMsince my machine has a lot of ram it should handle the install00:04
mrkrampsgood choice00:04
GeekDewdYeah, I always disconnect extra drives that I don't want formatted as a precaution00:04
DUKENUKEMwell lets hope i did this rigt00:04
DUKENUKEMright00:04
DUKENUKEMbecause its installing now00:04
DUKENUKEMlol00:04
DUKENUKEMim a recent debian convert to xubuntu00:04
DUKENUKEMim really impressed with it i tried it out at work00:04
mrkrampsDUKENUKEM, EFI boot management?00:04
DUKENUKEMmy box doesnt have efi00:05
mrkrampsok, then it should work00:05
DUKENUKEMat least i didnt have efi related partitions on it before00:05
DUKENUKEMok great00:05
DUKENUKEMi think it just finished up00:05
DUKENUKEMill see everyone on the other side, hopefully /dev/sdb is still intact00:05
xubuntu29wHi all. I've downloaded chrome but when I double-click and open in the software app (I'm on 16.04 - new app) and I click install, nothing happens. Any ideas? Thanks!00:25
GeekDewdhey xubuntu29w, I was having this issue myself earlier00:34
GeekDewdI ended up installing it via the terminal. Browse to that directory and run 'dpkg -i google-chrome-deb-name.db'00:34
GeekDewdAfter it runs, it'll say to do something with apt-get to fix dependencies00:35
GeekDewdsudo apt-get -f install00:36
GeekDewdYou'll need sudo on the dpkg command as well00:36
xubuntu29wThanks a lot, GeekDewd, I'll give that a try!00:38

xubuntu29wThanks for all your help - bye!01:19
xubuntu08wDoes anyone know of a simple/light audio converter?01:57
xubuntu08wI need to convert WAV files to flac01:57
xubuntu08wMaybe there's a gmusicbrowser plugin?01:58
GeekDewdYou could use ffmpeg from the command line01:58
xubuntu08wDoes that require an install or is it a system command01:59
GeekDewdA lot of programs depend on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's already installed. I'm not sure if it ships with Xubuntu though02:00
GeekDewd`ffmpeg -i file.wav output.flac` is the way to use it to convert wav to flac02:01
xubuntu08wCan I convert an entire folder at once?02:02
GeekDewdYou'll have to use a bash for loop, which doesn't necessarily fall under the 'simple' requirement02:03
xubuntu08wYeah, I'd likely have difficulty doing that02:03
xubuntu08wI guess I can do it individually02:04
xubuntu08wSince I'm converting just a couple albums02:04
GeekDewdhttp://unix.stackexchange.com/a/11491702:04
xubuntu08wHow does the software know the location of the file by simply providing the name?02:04
GeekDewdIt works on files in the "current directory" (which is set with the `cd` command)02:06
GeekDewdAre you familiar with the linux terminal much at all? If you aren't I highly recommend taking a quick class on it (on codecademy for example)02:07
xubuntu08wNot too familiar. I've been using Xubuntu on a basic level for roughly a year now (after switching from Windows). I've been getting by from using the Wiki for specific commands, but still have a basic knowledge.02:08
GeekDewdfind -name "*.wav" -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "{}" "${0/.wav}.flac"' {} \;02:10
GeekDewdxubuntu08w: Make sure you have a backup of your files. That line *should* batch convert all wav to flac in all directories recursively02:10
GeekDewdHowever, if anything goes wrong it's good to have backups02:10
GeekDewdYou'll want to browse to the folder with your albums in it, then right click in that folder and press 'open terminal here'02:11
xubuntu08wGotcha. I do have backups on an external drive.02:11
GeekDewdthen run that command from there02:11
xubuntu08wOkay, any need to provide additional info within that command?02:12
GeekDewdIt shouldn't delete the original wav files, just generate new flac files from them in the same directories02:12
GeekDewdNo, that should find and convert automatically (provided you're in the right directory) for all files in that directory and sub-folders/sub-directories02:12
xubuntu08wThanks02:12
xubuntu08wWill try that now02:13
* GeekDewd is using the terms folder and directory interchangeably, they are the same thing 02:13
xubuntu08wFirst, how do I check if ffmpeg is installed (in the terminal)?02:15
GeekDewdJust type 'ffmpeg' or 'ffmpeg -h' and see if it comes up with anything, or says not found02:16
GeekDewdThe first one 'ffmpeg' invokes the default action (which should be help), the second one explicitly invokes the help text02:17
xubuntu08wwasn't installed02:17
xubuntu08wwent ahead and installed it02:17
xubuntu08wside note: I absolutely love how simple the terminal is (e.g. suggesting whether or not I wish to install the program)02:18
xubuntu08wFantastic, it worked02:21
GeekDewdI'm not actually sure what it is that provides those suggestions. Anyone in here know if it's built into bash, or if it's some kind of separate utility?02:21
xubuntu08wThanks GeekDewd02:21
GeekDewdGlad to hear it worked :)02:21
xubuntu08wI will save that command and use it in the future02:21
GeekDewdIf you don't mind me asking, why convert from wav to flac in the first place? I like a good story02:21
xubuntu08wI bought some albums that came with digital downloads (which were offered in either wav or mp3). I prefer lossless audio, so I downloaded them in wav format. However, my digital music library is in flac format because wav takes up significantly more space. Flac files are compressed, but retain the same lossless quality. So, it's just more convenient.02:24
xubuntu08wFor example, the album I just converted was 1.8 gigs in wav format, but is 1.1 gigs in flac format.02:25
GeekDewdAh. I thought flac was uncompressed. That makes sense02:25
xubuntu08wYep02:26
xubuntu08walso, if I wanted to convert different audio formats, can I simply replace ".wav" and ".flac" in the command to alter the result?02:29
xubuntu08we.g. alac to flac02:30
GeekDewdyes02:32
GeekDewddo note that 'wav' is listed twice in that command02:32
xubuntu08wI see, will keep that in mind02:32
GeekDewdonce to find .wav files, and a second time to change the '.wav' to '.flac'02:32
xubuntu08wOk, makes more sense now02:33

GeekDewdkrytarik: thanks02:38
krytarikSure.02:38
xubuntu08w"guessed channel layout for input stream m#0.0 : stereo" is the only line listed in a different color when I run the command.02:43
xubuntu08wShould I disregard that02:43
GeekDewdxubuntu08w: It's just highlighted to bring attention to the fact that it's guessing, and that you specify if it's guessing wrong02:45
GeekDewdit should be fine to disregard as long as the converted output sounds alright.02:45
xubuntu08wyeah, sounds fine02:45
GeekDewdOr if you know that the source audio track is not stereo (e.g. 5.1 surround) you'd want to make sure that's set02:47
xubuntu08wI will check the physical CD02:54

MaisurandoIn chemistry, pyrophosphate is a phosphorus oxyanion. Compounds such as salts and esters are also called pyrophosphates. The group is also called diphosphate or dipolyphosphate, although this should not be confused with two phosphates. As a food additive, diphosphates are known as E450.08:52

OperatingLibertoHi all. Love Xubuntu. Just upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04. Along the way, I found that after decrypting the disk during boot, my laptop goes to a black screen on each boot. I have to open up a tty and run startx for x11/xfce. After, menu options and themes look a little messed up (http://i.imgur.com/TLH9HGP.png). Anyone run into the same?11:25
sector_0hey12:41
sector_0I think there's a problem with lightlocker but I'm not sure12:42
sector_0everytime my screen locks, when I attempt to wake the computer, the screen just remains black, and the only way to recover is to restart12:42
sector_0if I turn off the lightlocker all is well; even if the screen goes to sleep, i can wake it without any troubles12:43
sector_0but as long as the lightlocker is enabled, i have problems12:43
sector_0any ideas?12:43
OperatingLibertosector_0, I'm having a similar issue (see above). You can pull up a tty when that happens and run `startx`, though you'll be in a new x11 session it appears. I'll try reinstalling `lightdm` and `light-locker`. Already tried to reconfigure nvidia settings, though no change.12:48
sector_0OperatingLiberto, i just joined the channel, I didn't see what you said13:06
