[00:10] So I've just found out that it was the keyboard! [00:11] Found a sony one to replace the ms one and this one isn't showing that weirdness. Thankfully! [00:13] although, now I've plugged it into this machine on another usb port... and the origional one isn't showing the weirdness??? [00:17] 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] Guessing this MS keyboard is just weirding out with Linux... [00:18] ah, there is the windows key error again! [00:20] 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] oh, just noticed it's not a MS, but a logitec keyboard... doh [00:21] types nice though! Well, untill the weirdness haha\ [00:21] ... [00:21] People, thanks for listening me ramble on for a bit! Sorry for the inconvinience! [00:25] no worries, enjoy [00:25] Thanks :) [00:33] Thanks all, have a great day! :) === sheng21 is now known as lancer === Zren_ is now known as Zren === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [13:38] 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] MiguelFuller, very detailed info with ffmpeg. the command would be ffmpeg -i foo.mp3 [13:40] MiguelFuller: mp3 is the codec [13:40] oh you meant which library [13:40] ldd $(which myplayer) [13:41] you can use that to see which libraries the applications links to [13:41] for all you know you're having issue with pulseaudio [13:41] or do ogg files play without issue [13:41] MiguelFuller: does mpg321/madplay play it fine from the console [13:41] pmjdebru1jn: mp3 can be produce by many codec am I wrong [13:41] does ogg123 play ogg files fine [13:41] MiguelFuller: "codec" is a bit an ambiguous term [13:41] pmjdebru1jn: I don't know what library is [13:42] codec is often used to describe the standard... or the implementation (library) [13:42] which I why I prefer to use the the term library for the implementation [13:42] as it's not ambiguous [13:42] calling a codec is mostly a windows thing [13:42] calling the implemtation a codec* I meant [13:42] MiguelFuller: try mpg321 [13:42] for all you know gxine is just broken [13:43] * pmjdebru1jn has heard about xine a loooong time :) [13:43] hasn;t* [13:43] MiguelFuller: does mpg321 play the mp3 fine? [13:44] and/or are you sure the mp3 file is valid [13:44] what does "file my.mp3" say? [13:44] I'll look to see if it plays on windows first to see if valid [13:44] not needed [13:44] try mpg321 [13:46] I don't have that [13:46] dont' have madplay either [13:47] so ffmpeg better than mediainfo [13:48] is smaller [13:50] sudo apt-get install mpg321 [13:50] you'll have it [13:52] windows is not available atm [13:52] is mpg31 a player or a media reader [13:54] on xubuntu, on the cmdline, sudo apt-get install mpg321 [13:54] that will install it [13:54] then 'mpg321 my.mp3' on the cmdline [13:59] pmjdebru1jn: oh wow it plays [14:00] why a small program play this and gxine can't [14:00] cfhowlett: I did ffmpeg -i file.mp3 and it says there is a video track or stream how is that possible [14:00] I don't know of gxine is well maintained [14:01] for parole you just need to relevant gstreamer files [14:01] but I heard is better than parole [14:01] or the other media player for ubuntu that comes preinstalled [14:02] I somehow doubt that [14:02] another option could the vlc though [14:02] pmjdebru1jn: can help me install the gstreamer files I get xv output error too could not initizlie [14:03] vlc too heavy no way [14:03] sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly [14:03] "too heavy"? [14:03] it's audio/video decoding [14:03] it's quite intrinsically heavy [14:05] let's see. I'm on a pentium 3 [14:05] heh [14:05] so video's out then [14:05] using command line irc and links2 and stuff [14:05] then why use a player that player video at all? [14:05] look into mp3blaster :) [14:05] or herrie [14:05] why [14:06] google them [14:06] best choice overall: vlc best choice command line: mplayer [14:06] IMHO [14:07] I don't think video will matter on a p3 :) [14:09] pmjdebru1jn: I already have gsteamer commands you said [14:09] yet can't play that's ok I'll look for mplayer [14:10] have you installed xubuntu-restricted-extras? you might want to get that done. [14:11] MiguelFuller: if you're using mostly cli tools, srsly look into mp3blaster/herrie [14:12] cfhowlett: I'll take a look [14:16] pmjdebru1jn: I already have it [14:22] they're nice music players that are super light weight [14:29] 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] why? [14:31] ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec none myaud.mp4; done [14:31] you can use that to rip audio from video files permanently [14:31] but that will keep the codec format [14:32] https://askubuntu.com/questions/368736/play-only-audio-with-vlc [14:32] ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp3; done [14:37] that if I want to convert or rip as you said [14:37] I want to keep this as video tho [14:37] cause it's a on usb and I play it on other computers [14:38] MiguelFuller, fun fact: ffmpeg can extract the .mp3. [14:38] ffmpeg -i videoname.mp4 audioname.mp3 [14:39] k [14:41] wow that's nice [14:41] * pmjdebru1jn already pasted that [14:41] it depend what format the audio is in the file [14:42] 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] 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] ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a libmp3lame -q:a 1 -codec:v none myaud.mp3 [14:42] or ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -codec:a copy -codec:v none myaud.mp4 to just copy the audio as-is [14:44] pmjdebru1jn: will that create an mp4 that plays only audio [14:47] it should [14:47] but you'd need an audio player that support MP4/AAC [14:47] in most cases [14:48] transcoding to mp3 will make them more universally usable [14:55] k [14:55] thanks for your help guys [14:56] you guys know how to use correctly a WAG511 on xubuntu? just inserting it into the cardbus is not stable [18:02] no help? [18:11] fuck [18:11] please remember this is a family-friendly channel [18:17] MiguelFuller: what is the question I missed it [18:20] hi :) [18:20] 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] I posted my question on askubuntu site but got no much help [18:21] also is linked to a usb port according to the lspci command but is not it's a pcmcia [18:23] is not cryptography or programming is just a driver issue [18:30] that is pretty old adapter [18:34] encomjones: I like it [18:34] encomjones: is there a way to fix it? [18:35] I am unsure I am looking around some I used to use one of those on a old thinkpad years ago [18:39] MiguelFuller: Does: lsmod ..show the drivers pcmcia and pcmcia_core loaded? [18:39] encomjones: my only working laptop is a pentium 3 850 that's what I'm using [18:40] genii: let's see [18:40] genii: just type lsmod? or lsmod -knn or something [18:41] lsmod [18:42] I have this pcmcia_core 24576 3 yenta_socket,pcmcia,pcmcia_rsrc [18:42] Ok [18:42] but tulip says is not being used by anything [18:47] genii: lspci -knn says kernel driver in use and module is tulip [22:28] can someone aid me [22:28] with installing correctly a fa510 [22:28] 100mb nic
