[00:10] <Golfgeo> So I've just found out that it was the keyboard!
[00:11] <Golfgeo> Found a sony one to replace the ms one and this one isn't showing that weirdness. Thankfully!
[00:13] <Golfgeo> although, now I've plugged it into this machine on another usb port... and the origional one isn't showing the weirdness???
[00:17] <Golfgeo> Oke, this is much to weird! Have plugged the weird one back into it's origional port and it's good for now.
[00:17] <Golfgeo> Guessing this MS keyboard is just weirding out with Linux...
[00:18] <Golfgeo> ah, there is the windows key error again!
[00:20] <Golfgeo> and that's also via the other USB port. So either there is something special going on with keybindings towards this specific keyboard, or it's toast
[00:20] <Golfgeo> oh, just noticed it's not a MS, but a logitec keyboard... doh
[00:21] <Golfgeo> types nice though! Well, untill the weirdness haha\
[00:21] <Golfgeo> ...
[00:21] <Golfgeo> People, thanks for listening me ramble on for a bit! Sorry for the inconvinience!
[00:25] <knome> no worries, enjoy
[00:25] <Golfgeo> Thanks :)
[00:33] <Golfgeo> Thanks all, have a great day! :)
[13:38] <MiguelFuller> I wonder how can I check what codec an mp3 file is using and with what codec I play it to get a smooth successful playback, right now I'm using gxine and xine-ui plus a codec package for parole that I guess will work on xine yet some mp3 files play and others crash gxine. So how to know how to play this mp3 file
[13:40] <cfhowlett> MiguelFuller, very detailed info with ffmpeg.  the command would be ffmpeg -i foo.mp3
[13:40] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: mp3 is the codec
[13:40] <pmjdebru1jn> oh you meant which library
[13:40] <pmjdebru1jn> ldd $(which myplayer)
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> you can use that to see which libraries the applications links to
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> for all you know you're having issue with pulseaudio
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> or do ogg files play without issue
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: does mpg321/madplay play it fine from the console
[13:41] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: mp3 can be produce by many codec am I wrong
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> does ogg123 play ogg files fine
[13:41] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: "codec" is a bit an ambiguous term
[13:41] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: I don't know what library is
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> codec is often used to describe the standard... or the implementation (library)
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> which I why I prefer to use the the term library for the implementation
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> as it's not ambiguous
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> calling a codec is mostly a windows thing
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> calling the implemtation a codec* I meant
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: try mpg321
[13:42] <pmjdebru1jn> for all you know gxine is just broken
[13:43]  * pmjdebru1jn has heard about xine a loooong time :)
[13:43] <pmjdebru1jn> hasn;t*
[13:43] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: does mpg321 play the mp3 fine?
[13:44] <pmjdebru1jn> and/or are you sure the mp3 file is valid
[13:44] <pmjdebru1jn> what does "file my.mp3" say?
[13:44] <MiguelFuller> I'll look to see if it plays on windows first to see if valid
[13:44] <pmjdebru1jn> not needed
[13:44] <pmjdebru1jn> try mpg321
[13:46] <MiguelFuller> I don't have that
[13:46] <MiguelFuller> dont' have madplay either
[13:47] <MiguelFuller> so ffmpeg better than mediainfo
[13:48] <MiguelFuller> is smaller
[13:50] <pmjdebru1jn> sudo apt-get install mpg321
[13:50] <pmjdebru1jn> you'll have it
[13:52] <MiguelFuller> windows is not available atm
[13:52] <MiguelFuller> is mpg31 a player or a media reader
[13:54] <pmjdebru1jn> on xubuntu, on the cmdline, sudo apt-get install mpg321
[13:54] <pmjdebru1jn> that will install it
[13:54] <pmjdebru1jn> then 'mpg321 my.mp3' on the cmdline
[13:59] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: oh wow it plays
[14:00] <MiguelFuller> why a small program play this and gxine can't
[14:00] <MiguelFuller> cfhowlett: I did ffmpeg -i file.mp3 and it says there is a video track or stream how is that possible
[14:00] <pmjdebru1jn> I don't know of gxine is well maintained
[14:01] <pmjdebru1jn> for parole you just need to relevant gstreamer files
[14:01] <MiguelFuller> but I heard is better than parole
[14:01] <MiguelFuller> or the other media player for ubuntu that comes preinstalled
[14:02] <pmjdebru1jn> I somehow doubt that
[14:02] <pmjdebru1jn> another option could the vlc though
[14:02] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: can help me install the gstreamer files I get xv output error too could not initizlie
[14:03] <MiguelFuller> vlc too heavy no way
[14:03] <pmjdebru1jn> sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
[14:03] <pmjdebru1jn> "too heavy"?
[14:03] <pmjdebru1jn> it's audio/video decoding
[14:03] <pmjdebru1jn> it's quite intrinsically heavy
[14:05] <MiguelFuller> let's see. I'm on a pentium 3
[14:05] <pmjdebru1jn> heh
[14:05] <pmjdebru1jn> so video's out then
[14:05] <MiguelFuller> using command line irc and links2 and stuff
[14:05] <pmjdebru1jn> then why use a player that player video at all?
[14:05] <pmjdebru1jn> look into mp3blaster :)
[14:05] <pmjdebru1jn> or herrie
[14:05] <MiguelFuller> why
[14:06] <pmjdebru1jn> google them
[14:06] <cfhowlett> best choice overall: vlc      best choice command line: mplayer
[14:06] <cfhowlett> IMHO
[14:07] <pmjdebru1jn> I don't think video will matter on a p3 :)
[14:09] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: I already have gsteamer commands you said
[14:09] <MiguelFuller> yet can't play that's ok I'll look for mplayer
[14:10] <cfhowlett> have you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras?  you might want to get that done.
[14:11] <pmjdebru1jn> MiguelFuller: if you're using mostly cli tools, srsly look into mp3blaster/herrie
[14:12] <MiguelFuller> cfhowlett: I'll take a look
[14:16] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: I already have it
[14:22] <pmjdebru1jn> they're nice music players that are super light weight
[14:29] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: I can't find a way to play a video that will play it's audio only I tried that on gxine and looked through mplayer help I tried -frames 0 but it will close the player as soon it starts
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> why?
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec none myaud.mp4; done
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> you can use that to rip audio from video files permanently
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> but that will keep the codec format
[14:32] <cfhowlett> https://askubuntu.com/questions/368736/play-only-audio-with-vlc
[14:32] <pmjdebru1jn> ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp3; done
[14:37] <MiguelFuller> that if I want to convert or rip as you said
[14:37] <MiguelFuller> I want to keep this as video tho
[14:37] <MiguelFuller> cause it's a on usb and I play it on other computers
[14:38] <cfhowlett> MiguelFuller, fun fact: ffmpeg can extract the .mp3.
[14:38] <cfhowlett> ffmpeg -i videoname.mp4 audioname.mp3
[14:39] <MiguelFuller> k
[14:41] <MiguelFuller> wow that's nice
[14:41]  * pmjdebru1jn already pasted that
[14:41] <pmjdebru1jn> it depend what format the audio is in the file
[14:42] <MiguelFuller> I can do what I want with xgine but last night my laptop ran out of memory and couldn't even do that anylonger
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> most mp4's will have aac audio in them, thus will need transcoding, if you want to play it with an mp3 player
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp3
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> or ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a copy -codec:v none myaud.mp4 to just copy the audio as-is
[14:44] <MiguelFuller> pmjdebru1jn: will that create an mp4 that plays only audio
[14:47] <pmjdebru1jn> it should
[14:47] <pmjdebru1jn> but you'd need an audio player that support MP4/AAC
[14:47] <pmjdebru1jn> in most cases
[14:48] <pmjdebru1jn> transcoding to mp3 will make them more universally usable
[14:55] <MiguelFuller> k
[14:55] <MiguelFuller> thanks for your help guys
[14:56] <MiguelFuller> you guys know how to use correctly a WAG511 on xubuntu? just inserting it into the cardbus is not stable
[18:02] <MiguelFuller> no help?
[18:11] <MiguelFuller> fuck
[18:11] <knome> please remember this is a family-friendly channel
[18:17] <encomjones> MiguelFuller: what is the question I missed it
[18:20] <MiguelFuller> hi :)
[18:20] <MiguelFuller> I have tulip as my current module driver in use for my fa510 but my nic still behaves at 1mbit instead of 100
[18:21] <MiguelFuller> I posted my question on askubuntu site but got no much help
[18:21] <MiguelFuller> also is linked to a usb port according to the lspci command but is not it's a pcmcia
[18:23] <MiguelFuller> is not cryptography or programming is just a driver issue
[18:30] <encomjones> that is pretty old adapter
[18:34] <MiguelFuller> encomjones: I like it
[18:34] <MiguelFuller> encomjones: is there a way to fix it?
[18:35] <encomjones> I am unsure I am looking around some I used to use one of those on a old thinkpad years ago
[18:39] <genii> MiguelFuller: Does: lsmod ..show the drivers pcmcia and pcmcia_core loaded?
[18:39] <MiguelFuller> encomjones: my only working laptop is a pentium 3 850 that's what I'm using
[18:40] <MiguelFuller> genii: let's see
[18:40] <MiguelFuller> genii: just type lsmod? or lsmod -knn or something
[18:41] <genii> lsmod
[18:42] <MiguelFuller> I have this pcmcia_core            24576  3 yenta_socket,pcmcia,pcmcia_rsrc
[18:42] <genii> Ok
[18:42] <MiguelFuller> but tulip says is not being used by anything
[18:47] <MiguelFuller> genii: lspci -knn says kernel driver in use and module is tulip
[22:28] <MiguelFuller> can someone aid me
[22:28] <MiguelFuller> with installing correctly a fa510
[22:28] <MiguelFuller> 100mb nic
