| [09:38] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm trying to rip the sound track of an .mp4 video file to mp3 using ffmpeg. I get this ouput: "Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0" Does that mean I don't have mp3 codec on my system? cause sorta sounds silly to me | |
| [09:38] <bennypr0fane> ...with GnomePLayer coming ootb in Lubuntuit's gotta be present, right? | |
| [09:39] <bennypr0fane> I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.flv -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3 | |
| [09:40] <bennypr0fane> except it's not .flv but .mp4 | |
| [13:28] <Na_Klar> when using lubuntu as live usb hdd, the usb drive is mounted as /cdrom and therefore only readable. How can I write data to the usb drive in spite of? | |
| [14:09] <drag0nius> how much ram lubuntu requires to boot live usb? | |
| [15:36] <drag0nius> i'm trying to install lubuntu on some old comp | |
| [15:37] <drag0nius> i'm getting "error informing the kernel about modifications to partition ..." | |
| [15:45] <genii-around> drag0nius: Probably you have the disk mounted | |
| [15:46] <drag0nius> im running installer from usb | |
| [15:47] <drag0nius> unless it creates some partition | |
| [15:47] <drag0nius> for installer | |
| [15:47] <genii-around> drag0nius: If you go to a terminal and put: sudo partprobe does it say anything informative? | |
| [15:48] <drag0nius> device/resources busy | |
| [15:48] <drag0nius> gparted shows 768 mb partition | |
| [15:48] <drag0nius> on sda2 extended to sda5 | |
| [15:49] <drag0nius> and this disc is sda | |
| [15:49] <drag0nius> 768 being amount of ram | |
| [15:49] <drag0nius> so it is creating partition | |
| [15:49] <drag0nius> for installer? | |
| [15:50] <drag0nius> how would i modify it then? | |
| [15:50] <drag0nius> run gparted standalone to create partition table then run installer? | |
| === holstein_ is now known as holstein | |
| [15:53] <genii-around> drag0nius: What is result of: mount | |
| [15:54] <drag0nius> turned it off already | |
| [15:57] <genii-around> Sometimes if you choose a more exotic filesystem and the mkfs.<fstype> is not available because the <fstype>-tools package for it is not installed, it behaves like this. ( btrfs for instance) | |
| [16:40] <drag0nius> should lubuntu install without problems on ~8 years old comp? | |
| [16:41] <holstein> drag0nius: i would try it live... really depends. im might do 12.04 | |
| [16:41] <genii-around> In most cases | |
| [16:42] <drag0nius> hmm | |
| [16:42] <drag0nius> memtest has probs with ram | |
| [16:42] <drag0nius> errors only | |
| [16:42] <drag0nius> but win xp works flawlessly | |
| [16:42] <drag0nius> maybe its just too old? xD | |
| [16:43] <holstein> maybe its not using anything you notice the bad memory in | |
| [16:43] <drag0nius> it has just errors | |
| [16:43] <drag0nius> nothing else i think | |
| [16:43] <holstein> sure.. thats about the extent.. 1 or 0.. error or no | |
| [16:44] <drag0nius> hmm | |
| [16:45] <drag0nius> might indeed be ram | |
| [16:45] <drag0nius> stopped throwing errors | |
| [16:45] <drag0nius> after a while | |
| [16:45] <drag0nius> might be sth like dust in a slot? | |
| [16:45] <genii-around> Maybe vacuum it out | |
| [16:45] <holstein> could be the slot... motherboard.. never know | |
| [16:46] <holstein> i usually test one slot with one stick at a time | |
| [16:47] <genii-around> There's a lot of things it might be. Could be the ram is overclocked in bios. Could just be crud in there. Could be overheating. Could just be old and failing. | |
| [16:49] <holstein> theres a reason why techs charge a nice hourly rate for tracking these issues down.. and why folks usually dont pay that, and just get new hardware | |
| [16:50] <drag0nius> moved to other slot | |
| [16:50] <drag0nius> just 8 errors | |
| [16:50] <drag0nius> i might want to clean it xD | |
| [16:51] <holstein> i usually dont worry with counting the errors.. i just put it in.. see an error and try another test | |
| [16:52] <drag0nius> isnt it that ram usually dont break at all? | |
| [16:52] <drag0nius> once i broke it myself | |
| [16:52] <drag0nius> once i purchased faulty one | |
| [16:53] <drag0nius> but never saw one breaking down in usage | |
| [16:53] <holstein> parts break... failure is always an option | |
| [16:54] <holstein> i test, and rule out issues.. | |
| [16:54] <drag0nius> yea but ram has kinda nothing to break there | |
| [16:54] <holstein> ? | |
| [16:54] <drag0nius> unless i fry it or sth | |
| [16:54] <holstein> it has chips that fail.. i have lots of bad memory sticks marked "bad" and ready for the trash | |
| [16:54] <drag0nius> 25% passed and still just those 8 on start | |
| [16:55] <drag0nius> gonna clean everything | |
| [16:57] <drag0nius> hope i still have that compressor in garage xd | |
| [16:57] <holstein> you can let that memtest go as long as you like | |
| [16:57] <drag0nius> i know | |
| [16:57] <holstein> i usually find errors in the first few minutes if the ram is bad | |
| [16:58] <drag0nius> but i didnt clean anything there | |
| [16:58] <drag0nius> before inserting ram from other comp | |
| [16:58] <drag0nius> that might be main reason | |
| [16:58] <holstein> i dont usually find dust making bad ram... i have found bad connections, or slots... or motherboard components | |
| [16:58] <holstein> wont hurt to clean it out though | |
| [16:59] <drag0nius> it was all covered in dust | |
| [16:59] <drag0nius> i just blowed at it once myself ;d | |
| [17:00] <drag0nius> changed slot and still just 8 errors | |
| [17:00] <drag0nius> 43% passed | |
| [17:00] <holstein> 43% of that test | |
| [17:00] <holstein> when i see an error, i move on | |
| [17:01] <drag0nius> 6th test | |
| [17:01] <drag0nius> 46% pass | |
| [17:01] <drag0nius> at first line from top | |
| [17:01] <drag0nius> so it prolly went over that 8 error places couple times already | |
| [17:01] <holstein> i would assume nothing | |
| [17:02] <holstein> you cant assume "that place".. its more about how the ram works and where it 'wants' to put things | |
| [17:02] <holstein> when i see an error, i take it as an error and move on... either testing another slot, or stick | |
| [17:02] <drag0nius> ouch | |
| [17:02] <drag0nius> random number sequence | |
| [17:02] <drag0nius> throwing ... loads of errors | |
| [17:03] <drag0nius> guess i might try double 256 | |
| [17:03] <drag0nius> instead of 512 + 256 | |
| [17:03] <holstein> i would try only one at a time.. only one slot at a time.. mark the bad ones.. choose the good ones... then choose a final setup | |
| [17:03] <drag0nius> its one slot at a time | |
| [17:04] <drag0nius> but still clean first | |
| [17:04] <drag0nius> before another tries | |
| [17:04] <genii-around> Also try same stick in different slots | |
| [17:04] <drag0nius> there are just 2 | |
| [17:04] <drag0nius> second is dust all over it | |
| [17:05] <holstein> yup.. thats what im suggesting.. a 'known good' stick in all slots.. to rule out the slots or the motherboard as an issue | |
| [17:05] <genii-around> If one of the slots has crud inside of it, it can also mess up the other one | |
| [17:06] <holstein> yeah... its challenging... sometimes on a machine of that vintage, its not worth the hassle.. when you can find highed p4's in the trash now... | |
| [17:06] <holstein> high-end* | |
| [17:07] <drag0nius> i have the machine its was working pretty fast before format | |
| [17:07] <drag0nius> and neighbors have none currently so i just try to run it | |
| [17:07] <holstein> drag0nius: sometimes just moving the machine can make connections break | |
| [17:07] <drag0nius> will see | |
| [17:08] <holstein> drag0nius: if you are thingking "lubuntu broke my hardware".. just take the hard drive out and you'll soon find that its likely not the fault of any software | |
| [17:08] <drag0nius> i'd never assume that :P | |
| [17:09] <drag0nius> i tried installing win xp | |
| [17:09] <drag0nius> couple failed tries one succeded | |
| [17:09] <drag0nius> but then i screwed with plop boot manager | |
| [17:09] <drag0nius> broke sth | |
| [17:09] <pmatulis> does anyone use recordmydesktop on 12.10? | |
| [17:10] <holstein> sure.. im just addressing "everything was fine before the format" ...thats likely just a symptom of bad ram.. i remember getting xp to install with bad ram.. took me a while back then to diagnose the issue | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> reinstalling xp takes longer than cleaning everything | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> and installing ubuntu | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> i also found out hdd was faulty | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> ~250th to 350th mb | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> had errors | |
| [17:10] <drag0nius> guess that was page file of previous install | |
| [17:11] <holstein> bad ram could be creating those.. i would test it with a test that takes a few hours | |
| [17:11] <drag0nius> always at same place | |
| [17:11] <drag0nius> took 3 scans | |
| [17:11] <drag0nius> same count same sectors | |
| [17:11] <holstein> i have *never* had luck using a hard drive in the "good" sectors ;) | |
| [17:46] <Sysaxed> I know that there's a "separate layout for each window" functionality in lxde | |
| [17:46] <Sysaxed> how can I get the same on crunchbang? | |
| [17:46] <Sysaxed> which uses openbox too | |
| [17:48] <holstein> i might fire up a live CD and poke around in the lxsession stuff... you have a screenshot of what you are wanting? | |
| [17:49] <Sysaxed> a screenshot? how is it possible to take a screenshot of separate keyboard layouts in windows O_o | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> well, if I have 2 or more keyboard layouts | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> and change my keyboard layout while being focused on some window | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> it should change it only per that window | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> not globally | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> so if I start new application - default keyboard layout must be set automatically | |
| [17:50] <holstein> Sysaxed: im just asking, because i didnt get "keyboard layout" from what you said above | |
| [17:50] <Sysaxed> but if I focus back on that window.. | |
| [17:52] <holstein> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131341 maybe Sysaxed | |
| [17:55] <Sysaxed> holstein, wow | |
| [17:56] <Sysaxed> holstein, somehow I failed to find it | |
| [17:56] <Sysaxed> but I was googling a lot | |
| [17:56] <Sysaxed> I'll try it now and tell the results | |
| [17:59] <Sysaxed> holstein, wow. it works | |
| [17:59] <Sysaxed> holstein, that was simple | |
| [17:59] <Sysaxed> holstein, maybe it's going to fail under some conditions... | |
| [18:00] <Sysaxed> BUT it works!! | |
| [18:00] <Sysaxed> holstein, thank you! | |
| [18:03] <holstein> Sysaxed: enjoy!... #! is a great project | |
| [18:05] <Sysaxed> holstein, weird to hear that on lubuntu channel :) | |
| [18:05] <Sysaxed> it | |
| [18:06] <Sysaxed> it's a bit not ready for the end user... remembers me first releases of lubuntu | |

| [21:49] <BenMcLean> I hope this isn't like, a really stupid question but I have a question | |
| [21:49] <BenMcLean> OK so I've got this netbook that needs to run some flavor of Ubuntu in order to run ROS (robot operating system) | |
| [21:50] <BenMcLean> I installed Lubuntu 12.10 using the mini ISO and wifi and it was great | |
| [21:51] <BenMcLean> except that ros.org says it's not compatible with Quantal (which is 12.10 I believe) | |
| [21:51] <BenMcLean> So I'm figuring it needs 12.04 | |
| [21:51] <BenMcLean> But when I install that with the mini ISO, it doesn't seem to come with a way to enable the wfi | |
| [21:52] <BenMcLean> it seems to just have the terminal and an option for changing the wallpaper and that's about all | |
| [21:52] <BenMcLean> meant *wifi | |
| [21:53] <BenMcLean> so I'm wondering, what packages would I need to include to get that in 12.04 or is it just not there in 12.04 or whta? | |
| [21:56] <bioterror> I dont understand | |
| [21:56] <bioterror> what are you missing with the 12.04 compared to 12.10 | |
| [21:58] <BenMcLean> almost everything | |
| [21:59] <BenMcLean> there's no network menu, there are none of the programs 12.10 comes with | |
| [21:59] <bioterror> and you installed lubuntu-desktop? | |
| [21:59] <bioterror> or did you install lubuntu-core? | |
| [21:59] <BenMcLean> I installed the only Lubuntu option availible on the 12.04 mini ISO, which I think was core | |
| [21:59] <bioterror> can you plug that computer to wired network | |
| [21:59] <bioterror> and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | |
| [22:00] <bioterror> and you get it fixed | |
| [22:00] <BenMcLean> Can't now, but maybe it's a better idea to just say "screw it" until I get a wired connection availible on monday | |
| [22:01] <BenMcLean> anyway thanks bioterror | |
| [22:02] <bioterror> but | |
| [22:02] <bioterror> ifconfig -a | |
| [22:02] <bioterror> does it list you the wlan0? | |
| [22:02] <BenMcLean> ya know its kinda sucky. i am visualy impaired which means when one of my cat5 network cables busts, i need somebody else to fix it for me | |
| [22:03] <BenMcLean> i can barely see the little wires or be sure they're in there correctly to make a network cable | |
| [22:03] <BenMcLean> looks like my dad is gonna do it for me :) | |
| [22:03] <bioterror> yeah, it sucks to do twisted pair cables | |
| [22:06] <BenMcLean> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ok | |
| [22:06] <BenMcLean> wait, will that overwrite the 12.04 with the 12.10 ?? | |
| [22:07] <bioterror> no | |
| [22:08] <cdoublejj> Lubuntu 12.10 is not installing grub correctly where 12.04 does just fine. | |
| [22:08] <BenMcLean> kk nice to know. sorry about the ignorant questions :) | |
| [22:08] <cdoublejj> what i do i do am i going to have to mod/hack ? | |
| [22:08] <bulletrulz> i have a qestion? | |
| [22:08] <BenMcLean> cdoublejj, have you checked that hard drive for errors? | |
| [22:08] <bulletrulz> nvm | |
| [22:09] <cdoublejj> no but, every other instillation has worked fine and i have done quite a few. i think i might try a 12.04 install and just too a ton of updates | |
| [22:11] <bioterror> ton of updates \o/ | |
| [22:12] <bioterror> bulletrulz, you solved your problem? | |
| [22:13] <bioterror> cdoublejj, we could help if you tell us how the grub installation fails | |
| [22:14] <cdoublejj> i get blinking "_" after this last install (2nd install of 12.10), frist install of 12.10 game me a grub rescue. 12.04 never fails but, jockey crashes do to something about outdated something or other. This sia multi boot machine and has no troubles other wise | |
| [22:19] <bioterror> !grubrescue | |
| [22:19] <bioterror> I hate that bot | |
| [22:19] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | |
| [22:19] <bioterror> give that a shot | |
| [22:23] <cdoublejj> well i got GR the firt time the second time dind't even get thatm uch, this time we shall see. thnaks for the link | |
| [22:24] <cdoublejj> do most/all ubuntu distros have boot-repair? | |
| [22:33] <bioterror> cdoublejj, thats in the repos, just install it from the live environment | |
| [22:34] <cdoublejj> assuming the live has your network driver, which it does | |
| [23:11] <cdoublejj> weeeelllll i have some problems fucking grub installed it's self to my sdd instead of my hdd. my sssd houses widnwos and my hdd is to house lubuntu and osx | |
| [23:11] <cdoublejj> how do i get grub off there | |
| [23:11] <cdoublejj> maybe i can try a boot repair via 7 install disc | |
| [23:14] <bulletrulz> when trying to install remobo got a error for chkconfig | |
