gneeriiloeepdeerwhat command or app can I use to recursively convert m4a files to flac?11:10
tomreyngneeriiloeepdeer: ffmpeg, maybe combined with find11:14
shimblesfind . -type f -name '*.m4a' -exec convert '{}' '{}'.flac \;11:14
gneeriiloeepdeershimbles, so, simply cd to the parent directory and execute that?11:15
shimblesi didn't test it; make sure convert works11:15
tomreyni'm not convinced that imagemagick's "convert" can convert mpeg4 audio files11:16
shimbleslol11:17
shimbleswell, use ffmpeg11:17
shimblessubmit a patch to convert while your at it; with a name that generic, it better play csv files as movies11:17
tomreynmaybe i was wrong - https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php - IM can handle mpeg files with the help of ffmpeg11:19
shimblesahhh, my good ol' long term memory11:22
gneeriiloeepdeerfor file in *.m4a ; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -f flac "$( basename "$file" .m4a ).flac" ; done11:24
gneeriiloeepdeerthis works11:24
tomreynnot recursively though11:25
tomreyngneeriiloeepdeer: here's another try, also untested. remove the "echo" once you think this looks right:   find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;11:25
gneeriiloeepdeerno tomreyn11:25
alzghregarding my question about i3 and ubuntu, I learned that i3 config files let you execute commands with the exec directive11:26
gneeriiloeepdeeris m4a better than flac? converted bitrate is 10 kbps less than the original m4a11:27
cbreakflac is lossless11:27
tomreyngneeriiloeepdeer: you might need to indicate target bitrate. generally, m4a is a lossful file format, flac is lossless11:28
cbreakm4a is mpeg4 audio, which can be anything11:28
cbreakusually AAC I think11:28
dudehi11:28
tomreyncbreak is right about m4a, i was wrong11:29
gneeriiloeepdeertomreyn, what's the point of indicating target bitrate? If the original file is lossy, converted file will also be lossy, compared to the original...11:29
cbreakif you want audio quality, you can't get better than flac, because it will be without data loss11:29
gneeriiloeepdeerso Im making a lossless copy of a lossy file11:29
dudesup11:29
cbreakgneeriiloeepdeer: flac will be lossless with respect to its source11:29
gneeriiloeepdeereven if I don't notice it...11:30
cbreakso you obviously pay for that losslessnes in increased storage cost11:30
tomreyndude: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question?11:30
cbreakif your source is already compressed, why bother compressing it further?11:30
gneeriiloeepdeercbreak, I dont follow. If I convert to flac I am not compressing it further, am I?11:31
cbreakyou're not gaining anything other than size11:31
gneeriiloeepdeergood enough11:31
cbreakyou're compressing it losslessly, which means you will increase file size with zero gain11:31
cbreakwhy bother?11:31
gneeriiloeepdeerno, the output file is smaller11:32
gneeriiloeepdeer0.4 MiB11:32
cbreakcheck the source file codec11:32
cbreakyou claim you have a lossy file... is that true?11:32
gneeriiloeepdeermp4/m4a/aac11:33
gneeriiloeepdeerwell, if mp4/m4a/aac are lossy files, then yes11:33
cbreakcheck with ffprobe for example11:33
cbreakmp4 is just a file name11:33
cbreakit refers to a container format11:33
cbreakaac is lossy. You won't be able to beat its compression with flac, unless who ever parametrized aac was clueless about its purpose11:34
gneeriiloeepdeercbreak, I have the output, what line exactly do I have to check? major brand? m4a11:36
cbreakthe stream description11:36
gneeriiloeepdeerStream #0:0(und): Audio: alac (alac / 0x63616C61), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p, 829 kb/s (default)11:38
gneeriiloeepdeer^^?11:38
cbreakyes.11:38
cbreakso this m4a contains an ALAC stream11:38
cbreakwhich is also lossless11:38
gneeriiloeepdeeroutput file: Stream #0:0: Audio: flac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s1611:38
cbreakhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless11:39
gneeriiloeepdeeroh11:39
gneeriiloeepdeerso Im simply compressing a lossless file and saving some space in the process, right?11:39
cbreakyeah.11:39
gneeriiloeepdeernice11:39
cbreakyou're also format shifting, which means different decoders can decode it.11:40
cbreakand others can't.11:40
cbreakfor example, apple iPods can't read flac11:40
gneeriiloeepdeernot a trouble11:40
cbreakare there even still ipods?11:40
cbreakhmm...11:40
gneeriiloeepdeerim sure apple will make sure nobody can read flac files with their apps...11:40
cbreaknah11:40
cbreakI used to have a flac plugin for quicktime, so every quicktime aware application was able to read flac11:41
gneeriiloeepdeerso long since I used quicktime...11:41
gneeriiloeepdeerthanks cbreak you have been very helpfu11:42
cbreaknp :)11:42
gneeriiloeepdeertomreyn, sadly, your suggested recursive command doesn't seem to work... I cd'ed to the directory and executed 'find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;'. Nothing happens11:45
gneeriiloeepdeerI mean without find!11:45
gneeriiloeepdeerI am doing it rong, aren't I? '-type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;' is an incomplete command11:46
tomreyngneeriiloeepdeer: but you're supposed to do it with "find", just to edit "/path/to/highest/directory" so that it points to the highest directory that should be recured into subdirectories from. you can just replace it by a dot if you cd into that directory beforehand (but it's safer with the absolute path).11:47
gneeriiloeepdeerill try again11:47
tomreyngneeriiloeepdeer: i had a quotation mark missing, though. here's the fixed command:  find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac" \;11:51
gneeriiloeepdeertomreyn, if the output with echo is this: ffmpeg -i Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a -f flac Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a.flac, does it mean I have then to recursively get rid of the m4a marker?11:57
shimblesuse the rename command11:58
shimblesor just leave it there11:58
splinesI'm looking for a command line "tea timer", that I can set from the CLI, let it detach (or daemonise), and then pop an alert in Gnome when time comes. Does such a thing exist?11:58

paul424Hello, would there be any problems with UBUNTU lts installing NVIDIA drivers... or they would be installed out of the box ...13:58
paul424the model of a card is old ~10years old13:58

paul424yes... does the installation iso contain the live system as well ?14:13
ravagethe desktop iso does14:13
paul424ohh that;s nice ... I will try it then14:14
paul424the worst case is I delete the windows 7 system and leave them with non-working Linux system14:14

nyuszika7hXorg works fine15:44

loganrunThe screen suddenly started going black when I try to log into gnome desktop and the monitor goes to sleep mode. Is there anyway to figure out what is going on. This is such a huge bug makes me want to switch window managers17:56
Bardon_Hello, is there a way to have an openssh server run at startup on the livecd?18:00
Bardon_I'd like to use it for diagnosis when my server won't boot18:00
Bardon_So I don't need to get a screen and a keyboard18:00

pasizloganrun: display drivers?18:04
pasizBardon_: by modifying startup yes18:05
loganrundon't think so. logged in with xfce fine18:05
pasizloganrun: i suggest reversing your nick18:07
loganrunwhy18:08
pasizso run and log to see what's happening18:08
loganrunwhich log18:09
pasizloganrun: journalctl _UID=100018:13
pasizor whatever your user id is18:13
pasizyou could "id -user" on terminal if unsure18:13
pasizi think you have selected wrong resolution that is not supported on your monitor18:14
pasizso first open screen on some other terminal than your login manager is running, and execute journalctl on there18:15
pasizwhen your monitor goes sleep, switch to that console18:16
Bardon_pasiz: I'm sorry I can't find the info, how do I modify startup?18:17
=== Bardon_ is now known as Bardon
loganrunwell, the thing is it was working but now suddenly I can't log in at boot.18:17
loganrunso seems like an update or soemthing screwed it up.18:17
pasizBardon: you need to create your own livecd image18:18
Bardonpasiz: Ok I'll look up how18:23
pasizBardon: other option is just install ubuntu on usb stick18:23
pasizmuch easier18:24
Marzis there no way to install ubuntu with just the minimum packages18:26
Mekaneckwhat "minimum packages"?18:28
Mekaneckyou can choose to do a full install of ubuntu desktop or a minimal18:28
Bashing-omMarz: Pretty mimimal:https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/. But gives you the xfce DE.18:28
Marzi don't actually want a desktop18:29
lotuspsychjeplease no crosspost Marz you already been asked about that issue in -server18:29
Bashing-omMarz: Then why not install as a server ?18:29
Marzserver channel is dead18:29
MekaneckMarz: then install the server edition and perform a minimal  install18:30
MekaneckMarz: or.... grab the 20.04 LTS Minimal iso18:30
MarzI don't see a minimal install option18:30
MarzI tried that too. Doesn't seem to support uefi.18:30
Mekanecki doubt that18:31
Mekaneckhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso18:31
Bashing-omMarz: "Canonical and the Ubuntu project never officially supported the mini.iso ; it was produced as a by-product of building the debian-installer. As the Ubuntu Server image now uses subiquity, the build process that built mini.iso is no longer used, thus why this installation media is now old."18:34
jpmhI need to write a server that wil listen on port 80 so clearly it will need to start as root.  I have tried reducing the UID etc and seems that I can not do that in the simple way that I am attemptine.  I see that things like apache do this.  What do I need to do?18:38
jonaHello can anyone help me with a grub menu problem?18:41
Bashing-om!ask | jona18:42
ubottujona: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience18:42
jonaI cant get rid of the boot menu. I tried the grub customizer and also changed the gub file myself. Nothing changes. Any help?18:45
Bashing-omjona: Though one can set to where the menu does not display - such is not recommended - as will be a pain in the event of need to restore.18:47
Bashing-omjona: I have my grub menu display for 2 seconds - will that work for you ?18:48
jonaI would love to set it to not showing (hidden) as I do not need it because I only have ubuntu installed18:49
Bashing-omjona: Think this through - in the event of issues then one can not access the grub menu - can not then easily access "recovery" or boot a different kernel - this is not said to be difficult, but as a reminder of why such is discouraged.18:53
jonabut isnt it usually like this? Isnt the boot menu only showing on dual boot? or if you hit esc?18:55
coconutno grub is always showing jona18:58
coconutand is a good thing when a kernel upgrade gives you troubles18:58
coconutyou can then just start a previous kernel which did work well with your hardware18:59
jonabut I need to hit enter to boot ubuntu every time. I just want to hit the power button and then boot directly into ubuntu18:59
Bashing-omjona: Humm that is a consideration - I have multi-booted for years and just do not recall the default behaviour in single boot :( .. Lemme go read the docs :D18:59
coconutjona, you can change the time out for grub so ubuntu auto choose latest kernel a little faster? No enter needed then...19:02
jonacoconut, Ive tried that already through the grub customizer and in the grub file. It just wont change. It's driving me nuts19:03

gneeriiloeepdeeris there any command or app to make an image bigger not losing quality? I want to quadruple a 300x300 xp image but I want it the output to be identifiable19:43
gneeriiloeepdeerpurely, this would mean increasing quality19:43
gneeriiloeepdeerI used once a windows app to do this, but I don't remember the name19:43
gneeriiloeepdeerresolution is the word19:44
gneeriiloeepdeerI want to increase an image's resolution19:44
toddcmerpnderp: ubuntu did But because there are so many other free services it was discontinued19:54
FKAShinobigneeriiloeepdeer: Try imagemagick. I used that back in the day, but not sure if it will do exactly what you want19:54
toddcmerpnderp: ubuntu has many tools built in to sync to many services19:55
merpnderptoddc: thanks.19:56
FKAShinobigneeriiloeepdeer: You can increase the resolution of the image, but technically speaking you don't have all the information to fill the missing pixels. There are algorithms that can approximate it and backfill.19:56

Marzis there no way to update packages when using the server install?21:00
Marzit doesn't seem to get the latest packages and there is no option21:01
Bashing-om!latest | Marz21:02
ubottuMarz: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.21:02
Bashing-omMarz: To know what is in the repo ' apt list <package> '.21:02
Marzafter the install there are 40+ updates to install.21:03
Marzthought those updates would occur with the install21:04
fosstererHello, has anyone used "Lenovo Flex 5 14" 2-in-1" with any Linux flavor? Before purchasing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086226DDB, I'd like to know of touchpad etc. issues21:15
krytarikMarz: That's no different to the desktop install though, only there you'd have the option to *download* updates while it's installing - pretty common misunderstanding though unfortunately..21:27
shimblescan you instruct apt to cache all available packages without calculating any dependencies?21:43
