| * nomic cannot promote the raspberry pi3 enough - IMO it is a revolutionary setup .. the fact that it is "underpowered" .. as gates said 640k will be enough (and then started releasing software that used brute force to solve problems, continually successively) .. the browser does not run on a pi3 because the browser is a piece of software that is designed for such approaches - the browser is the epitome of bad design .. e | 02:07 | |
| nomic | this is a sub 1.5 watt power consumption pc | 02:07 |
|---|---|---|
| nomic | the pc is dead, IMO | 02:08 |
| nomic | it does everything -- 4 core, integrated wireless - PCs never got to intergrated wireless | 02:08 |
| nomic | the wireless on the pi3 works inside a tin box | 02:08 |
| nomic | these things are ROBUST | 02:08 |
| nomic | the pc became a postage stamp | 02:09 |
| nomic | I cannot over-sell this (enough) the pi3 is a SOLUTION, 100% the pc was a malaise | 02:10 |
| nomic | an issue, a problem | 02:10 |
| nomic | the hardware | 02:10 |
| nomic | its gone | 02:10 |
| nomic | all that crap - the massive box fans .. the pi3 does not require a fan | 02:10 |
| nomic | these are efficient processors | 02:10 |
| Tuguldur | Hi all, I just bought RPi 3 and connected it to my TV using HDMI connector. The problem is that sound does not work at all. Is there anyone who has same problem? Any idea and solution? Thanks | 02:12 |
| nomic | they're not 'underpowered' there are prople producing trans-ams on the same design | 02:12 |
| nomic | your TV? | 02:12 |
| nomic | you run the sound off the sound jack IMO | 02:12 |
| nomic | bbl. | 02:12 |
| Tuguldur | Yes my TV | 02:13 |
| nomic | the sound out of the pi3 is the audio jack | 02:13 |
| Tuguldur | sound jack does not work as well | 02:13 |
| nomic | as far as I know | 02:13 |
| nomic | what OS are you running on the pi3 | 02:13 |
| Tuguldur | Ubuntu mate | 02:13 |
| nomic | the sound should work -- what software are you using to play media | 02:14 |
| nomic | use omxplayer | 02:14 |
| nomic | alone | 02:14 |
| Tuguldur | I connected it HDMI and analog sound jack as well. | 02:14 |
| nomic | what software are you using to play your media | 02:14 |
| Tuguldur | I just want to play youtube video | 02:14 |
| nomic | the sound doesn't play through the HDMI | 02:14 |
| nomic | so you are trying to play through a browser | 02:15 |
| nomic | use youtube-dl | 02:15 |
| nomic | the pi3 is a space station .. minimal power .. 1 gig ram | 02:15 |
| Tuguldur | Yes, I am trying to play through a mozilla | 02:15 |
| nomic | the browser is a huge resource hog & as yet, there is no browser written spefically, for the raspberry pi | 02:16 |
| nomic | use the software that works | 02:16 |
| nomic | you need to download your media and play it through omxplayer | 02:16 |
| nomic | the browser is a huge resource hog .. you are running on a postage stamp (the pi3) , why are you requiring a browser -- the browser is the biggest, most inefficient PC pig .. microsoft era crap that has ever been invented -- the PI3 will play HD media, in HD, but only through it's own tuned software suite (such as 'omxplayer') | 02:17 |
| Tuguldur | So, you mean browser case is not good choice for play audio due to small size of ram 1G | 02:17 |
| nomic | which, IMO, you should use for all media on the rpi3 and mate | 02:17 |
| nomic | absolutely not | 02:17 |
| nomic | you cannot do media directly on the rpi3 .. you can do it (and far superiorly to the browser) through "liverstreamer" | 02:18 |
| nomic | livestreamer = sophisticated media streaming | 02:18 |
| nomic | browser is like running your own software suite on top of anything | 02:19 |
| nomic | use omxplayer / livestreamer | 02:19 |
| Tuguldur | Also, I want to watch direct broadcasting from website like onair.mn | 02:19 |
| nomic | no idea | 02:19 |
| nomic | ask on forums = ubuntu/mate forums | 02:19 |
| nomic | more efficient way of getting response to technical questions, than on IRC | 02:20 |
| nomic | nobody even here, half the time - specially on less populated channels -- the main channel is #ubuntu | 02:20 |
| nomic | 1900 people there currently | 02:20 |
| Tuguldur | Do you know how I can install flash plugin | 02:20 |
| nomic | imo don't use flash | 02:20 |
| nomic | hasn't flash been deprecated by everyone | 02:21 |
| nomic | flash = browser - even with a pc & browser = resource hog | 02:21 |
| Tuguldur | Thank you very much for great advice | 02:21 |
| nomic | yw. | 02:22 |

| mate|55997 | Hi everybody. I'm trying to use a java application (AMTU by amazon). I obtain an error that I have to paste here because the attachment doesn't work: | 14:47 |

| mate|63205 | Greetings | 18:26 |
| mate|63205 | I have an external USB hard drive I want to give to my Dad. I would like to wipe it first before formatting with a new file system... | 18:27 |
| mate|63205 | This is the command I found online using ddrescue... | 18:27 |
| mate|63205 | 'sudo ddrescue --verbose --force --no-split /dev/zero /dev/sdd' | 18:27 |
| mate|63205 | Will that work and still allow me to create a new file system thereafter? | 18:28 |
| ali1234 | it will write over the entire disk with zeros | 18:28 |
| Akuli | whats the difference between ddrescue and dd | 18:29 |
| Akuli | mate|63205, i'd probably do a plain dd, with /dev/urandom or /dev/zero as a source | 18:30 |
| ali1234 | dd stops at the first error | 18:30 |
| mate|63205 | ali1234: right. But I should still be able to fdisk thereafter, right, creating a new partition and filesystem? | 18:30 |
| Akuli | of course | 18:30 |
| mate|63205 | ok. thanks | 18:30 |
| Akuli | i'd create the partition with fdisk, and file system with mkfs.vfat | 18:33 |
| Akuli | but you can just use gparted for everything :) | 18:33 |
| ubuntu-mate | k | 19:18 |
| mauimate | do i need a password ? | 20:28 |
| Akuli | You always have a password. | 20:28 |
| Akuli | thats one of the reasons why linux is so secure as is that you dont need an antivirus | 20:28 |
| Akuli | so the answer is yes, you need one | 20:28 |
| Akuli | mauimate, if you just said something say it again. my awesome internet failed :) | 20:29 |
| mauimate | My bad, was just wondering if i needed a password for the chat? | 20:30 |
| Akuli | oh :) | 20:31 |
| Akuli | not on this channel, but some channels require that you're registered with a password | 20:31 |
| Akuli | and that sucks | 20:31 |
| mauimate | I haven't used IRC very much @all and i remember the UMATE channel used to require password | 20:33 |
| randall | I solved my own problem and someone else who had it in here about a week or so ago, not being able to access shared folders in virtual box | 20:34 |
| Akuli | which guest os do you have | 20:34 |
| Akuli | if its windows you need to add it as a network drive | 20:34 |
| randall | inside the virtual box you gotta fix it as root] | 20:35 |
| Akuli | if its not i have no idea :D | 20:35 |
| randall | well the other guy had ubuntu mate guest os, I made a xubuntu guest os to investigate the issue | 20:35 |
| Akuli | nice | 20:36 |
| Akuli | not many people spend that much time and effort just to help others here | 20:36 |
| randall | unfortunatly I only found you can access the shared folder as root, if anyyone has the werewithall to investigate it further | 20:37 |
| randall | oddly enough, windows guest os has no issues accessing the shared folder | 20:38 |
| Akuli | i'm sure you can set up something to allow non-root people to access it | 20:38 |
| Akuli | even without writing your own service to do that | 20:38 |
| randall | I don't know how, the extent of my knowlege is to assign permission for "everybody else" to read and write | 20:39 |
| Akuli | oh that stuff | 20:39 |
| Akuli | chmod a+rw | 20:39 |
| randall | k | 20:40 |
| Akuli | i'm not sure about how it would work with a mount though | 20:40 |
| Akuli | to be more precise: sudo chmod -R a+rw yourfolder | 20:40 |
| Akuli | if thats not enough do a+rwx | 20:40 |
| Akuli | or maybe you could just change the owner of the folder to yourself | 20:41 |
| Akuli | so it would be your directory | 20:41 |
| randall | nope, I did that in both the host and guest, still can only access the shared as root | 20:56 |
| randall | ah well, I made progress atleast, someone else run with it and see if they can't fix it further | 20:57 |
| user2635 | In my notification area, the Power Management icon is not visible, however I know that its there because there's a spot which I can click and it brings up my mouse+keyboard receiver model etc | 21:26 |
| user2635 | So why is there no icon? (by default) | 21:27 |
