[05:09] <r4y> http://askubuntu.com/questions/190350/cant-see-youtube-videos-in-either-firefox-or-chromium
[05:10] <r4y> I need to do some things I have thought of but I will be back sometime. I hope to come back today but I am not sure yet.
[05:12] <r4y> I know of 3 ways to install flash, I am not sure about gnash and other replacements however because when I go to edit prefences applications in Firefox I can't get the paths to work and stick so
[05:15] <r4y> I will be back and sorry for all the trouble before. I have been a little upset about the whole flash problem I have been having. I don't understand why some people say they are happy they completely disabled flash when there are flash videos out there they might not be able to watch without flash
[05:23] <r4y> OK, I did not run any test but I found this link:
[05:23] <r4y> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/getting-flash-plug-in-to-work-with-older-cpus-4175420481/
[05:24] <r4y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5606939/
[05:25] <r4y> As you can see sse2 is not on that list
[05:29] <r4y> Some flash videos that are on my computer when played through totem are completely smeared diagonally and some are as clear as should be
[05:30] <r4y> I use smplayer to play the smeared flash videos
[05:32] <r4y> The only difference I see from the 2 videos I am trying to veiw is that the dimensions of the unsmeared flash video is 400 x 224 and the smeared flash video is 426 x 240
[05:33] <r4y> that is no difference otherwise stated that I noticed to be different with these 2 flash videos
[05:36] <r4y> I tried getting a screenshot but it is black everytime
[05:37] <r4y> Alright so I need to go do chores as well as run some tests I thought of trying. Take care
[05:41] <WhiteHippo> Hello all. I have an intermittent problem with ubuntu, suspected cause being banshee. After several hours of playing music, it messes up the taskbar graphics into squares of.. colour pixels. I'm running ubuntu 12.10 with cinnamon, and this problem only started after installing banshee.
[05:46] <WhiteHippo> marco?
[06:36] <kalenjohnson> WhiteHippo, so if you leave it on for multiple hours with Banshee closed, you don't have any issues?
[09:35] <robert__> I'm trying find help with editing one of those icons along the left side of the screen.    Can someone please point me in the right direction?
[09:36] <geirha> First you have to find the icon
[09:37] <geirha> Or maybe you mean you want to set a different icon for one of the launchers?
[09:38] <robert__> I realize that I said stupid stuff.  What happened is that I installed google-earth and while it was running I pinned the icon to the thing along the left side of the screen. It just shows a question mark. I would like to change it to something to identify what it starts.
[09:39] <robert__> It might just be easier to start it from a terminal.
[11:40] <r4y> duanedesign
[11:42] <r4y> I've decided that this link was the answer I was looking for:
[11:42] <r4y> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/getting-flash-plug-in-to-work-with-older-cpus-4175420481/
[11:43] <r4y> gnash did work but it was slow compared to flash 10.3
[11:44] <r4y> And I think the reason why I have and can reproduce results for videos that are flash that are smeared and not smeared has to do with when the videos were made
[11:44] <r4y> compared to my hardware
[11:44] <r4y> or flash or something like that
[11:46] <r4y> I've thought of trying the windows version of firefox through wine or playonlinux but at this point I am fairly happy that I can even view videos from the internet
[11:51] <r4y> I found this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1709156.html see ya, and ty all for the help over the years
[19:33] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> Hey guys, I'm brand new to linux and am trying to format my USB drive but can't find out how to do that
[19:33] <holstein> !format
[19:33] <holstein> Nick_UbuntuNoob: i use gparted.. i use it with *care*
[19:34] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> how can I get gparted? I remember seeing the terminal command but am seriously like 30 minutes of use time brand new
[19:34] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/22381/how-to-format-a-usb-flash-drive
[19:34] <holstein> or, open the package manager of your choice and install gparted
[19:35] <holstein> http://www.techheadz.co.uk/223.html
[19:37] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> ah cool, got that installed
[19:39] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> where the heck did it install?
[19:40] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> nevermind, figured out the search function on the Ubuntu button or whatever it's called
[19:42] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> man, this is actually working now which is great. I tried this on my girlfriend's laptop but kept receiving device in use errors.
[19:46] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> so I think I understand how to make a multi partition for this USB device, does it matter whether the partition is resized to have data before or after it? I just received a popup saying that moving a /boot partition can cause OS launch failure
[19:47] <holstein> Nick_UbuntuNoob: what are you trying to do?
[19:47] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> and what is the difference in alignment from cylinder to MiB? Should one be used over the other for this?
[19:48] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> I just want to make my 8gb USB drive have two partitions
[19:48] <holstein> Nick_UbuntuNoob: i would do that with the partition tool i mentioned.. gparted
[19:49] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> yeah, I'm in GParted right now
[19:49] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> I've deleted the partition it had, created a new fat32. Now I'm trying to resize it but want to ensure I'm using correct settings
[20:02] <Nick_UbuntuNoob> figured it out; thanks for the help guys
[20:02] <holstein> it?


[07:22] <ara>  good morning all!
[07:57] <alourie> good morning
[08:08] <ara> morning alourie
[08:10] <alourie> hi ara
[08:15] <alourie> ara: I've successfully integrated the content to the site (except that main page didn't load all the feeds).
[08:15] <alourie> now I have the question: do you expect changes/proposals directly in pages.xml?
[08:16] <alourie> or there's some other way?
[08:18] <ara> yes, again in the xml (for content)
[08:18] <ara> and the wp-theme for the rest of it
[08:20] <alourie> ara: wow, do you really do it this way? :-)
[08:22] <ara> alourie, you make your changes in the wp admin environment, and then export the xml again
[09:05] <alourie> ara__: ah, ok
[09:47] <alourie> ara: hm, I'm using WP3, which brings all sort of additional changes in the document...
[09:48] <alourie> maybe for small changes manual is ok
[09:51] <ara> alourie, yes, we'd only accept changes that are easily imported in qa.ubuntu.com
[09:52] <alourie> ara: any specific reason why not use WP3?
[09:54] <ara> alourie, that server is running lucid, which has the 2.9 version
[09:55] <alourie> ah
[09:56] <alourie> that explains it
[13:38] <davmor2> fader_: make up your mind what you're calling yourself will ya ;)  Morning by the way :)
[13:39] <fader_> davmor2: Morning dude
[17:47] <bladernr> ameetp:  updated the bug and reset the status...
[19:00] <ameetp> bladernr: thanks


[13:48] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 Heyo
[21:23] <valorie> telegram desktop app seems working here -- I think that's electron?
[21:34] <blaze> it's pure qt
[21:37] <RikMills> santa_: I uploaded a ktexteditor to the PPA that would not fail on symbols. So far with that, I have not been able to crash any related app


[01:10] <ompaul> mdke, back
[01:13] <mdke> ompaul: bed time :) Drop me a mail if you want to talk about anything re: this bot thing
[01:13] <ompaul> okay
[02:34] <jsgotangco> good morning
[02:39] <Madpilot> hi jsgotangco
[02:48] <jsgotangco> hey brian how are you?
[02:49] <Madpilot> good - busy
[07:16] <Madpilot> hi all
[08:10] <Burgundavia> salut robitaille
[08:16] <robitaille> Hi Burgundavia
[11:18] <jsgotangco> brb
[11:45] <pitti> hi
[11:46] <pitti> I have a patch in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-cups-manager/+bug/8023 which I'd like to apply for dapper, but it changes the UI
[11:46] <pitti> what's the prefered way to ask the doc team for approval/rejection? I cc'ed ubuntu-doc to the bug and asked, is that fine?
[11:48] <rob> the mailing list is the best option
[11:50] <pitti> rob: hm, then I have sub first, I guess; thanks
[11:50] <rob> no probs
[11:50] <rob> best to let mdke know too
[11:50] <rob> (he reads the list though)
[11:51] <rob> pitti, thanks for the heads up
[12:13] <pitti> rob: sent, btw
[03:25] <jsgotangco> mdke: ping?
[08:09] <mdke> jsgotangco: pong
[08:09] <jsgotangco> hey guys
[08:10] <jsgotangco> mdke: i already forgot what's on my mind
[08:10] <mdke> jsgotangco: np :)
[08:10] <mdke> was it the edubuntu guys?
[08:10] <jsgotangco> no
[08:11] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, I see no reason why not, for both
[08:11] <mdke> I'm not particularly comfortable with it, I will follow up on list
[08:11] <jsgotangco> hey Burgwork, its been a while
[08:12] <jsgotangco> mdke: yes feel free, after all, they are the ones who approached me
[08:12] <LaserJock> mdke: I talked with them a bit today
[08:12] <mdke> LaserJock: right
[08:13] <jsgotangco> we havent been meeting lately so i had it on list instead
[08:13] <LaserJock> mdke: I told them they should probably send patches a bit before they become members so they get used to our workflow, etc.
[08:14] <jsgotangco> yeah i also said its all about patches
[08:14] <mdke> I think basically to have svn access, what we should look for is 1) good English and knowledge of our styleguide 2) familiarity with docbook (sending a few patches that validate), 3) familiarity with svn, and 4) dedication. These two guys obviously have 4), but personally I'd prefer to see some patches before confirming (1-3)
[08:15] <LaserJock> mdke: exactly
[08:16] <mdke> however, I'm really in favour of edubuntu action in our repo
[08:16] <mdke> jsgotangco: are edubuntu docs generally written in docbook?
[08:16] <jsgotangco> only mine for now
[08:16] <mdke> what other docs are in the distro? who writes them, and in what format?
[08:16] <jsgotangco> and LaserJock ported the others
[08:17] <LaserJock> just the School Advocacy page
[08:17] <mdke> what happened to this cookbook thing?
[08:17] <jsgotangco> heh
[08:17] <mdke> I see occasionally stuff about it on planet
[08:17] <LaserJock> it is on the wiki, no?
[08:17] <jsgotangco> it just fizzles out i dunno
[08:17] <mdke> not in the distro?
[08:18] <jsgotangco> it is cursed probably because i started it lol
[08:18] <mdke> heh
[08:18] <mdke> ok, so there seems to be no real barrier to edubuntu docs going on in our repo?
[08:19] <jsgotangco> mdke: there's really no action except mine and LaserJock's recent commit
[08:19] <LaserJock> other than interest, and I think we are taking care of some of that
[08:19] <jsgotangco> (on the svn i mean)
[08:20] <mdke> right
[08:20] <LaserJock> but I think ogra and JaneW are all for it
[08:21] <jsgotangco> heck i'll probably be able to beat june 1 to write a realy cookbook of ubuntu food
[08:21] <jsgotangco> but that would be like mocking the current effort
[08:21] <jsgotangco> :)
[08:22] <mdke> LaserJock: all for what?
[08:22] <mdke> docs in our repo?
[08:22] <jsgotangco> i actually don't see a need that much, a small effort can be done in bzr for now
[08:23] <LaserJock> mdke: yeah
[08:23] <mdke> jsgotangco: I think it would be cool in terms of uniting the efforts on edubuntu with those on the other derivatives
[08:24] <jsgotangco> does elmo still have exclusive lock on the svn? or is it also sent now to the tracker
[08:25] <LaserJock> i'll be back in ~20-30 min. I gotta drive to work
[08:26] <mdke> jsgotangco: tracker?
[08:26] <mdke> oh, i see what you mean
[08:26] <mdke> yeah, rt for new additions
[08:26] <jsgotangco> request tracker of sorts, like how syncs are done now
[08:27] <jsgotangco> that's cool
[08:27] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, what do you think of getting mdke to work for canonical, as doc team slave?]
[08:27] <robotgeek> plus, he doesn't get to say IANAL
[08:27] <jsgotangco> i think that's a good idea, he's in london, we're not (and im not even qualified)
[08:29] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, I am in a major dilemma, because I enjoy my job, but want to work on Ubuntu fulltime and think I can provide something that Canonical wants
[08:29] <jsgotangco> Burgwork: me too but im just not confident i guess or probably because i am just too far
[08:29] <mdke> Burgwork: since you're already working in a related area, I think you should definitely go for it. It will be great career-wise
[08:30] <Burgwork> mdke, my ex said the same thing
[08:30] <Burgwork> I don't know, it is too hard to decide
[08:30] <jsgotangco> if they decline, at least you still have your job
[08:30] <mdke> Burgwork: ex?
[08:30] <Burgwork> yep
[08:30] <Burgwork> mdke, ex-gf
[08:30] <mdke> bummer
[08:31] <Burgwork> meh, life happens. Now I get to live the lavalife
[08:31] <jsgotangco> Burgwork: i dunno, ive been doing linux-related work for 5+ years but i seem to have no direction at all
[08:31] <mdke> sounds good tho
[08:31] <Burgwork> dating site, cause of much fun
[08:32] <Burgwork> true
[08:32] <jsgotangco> Burgwork: at least you get to work on something that is associated with them
[08:34] <robotgeek> good luck to you Burgwork
[08:34] <Burgwork> robotgeek, thanks. I think I have a better than even chance of getting on with Canonical, with my Ubutnu and non-Ubuntu work
[08:34] <robotgeek> Burgwork: yup
[08:34] <mdke> course you do
[08:35] <Burgwork> I just need to figure out what job I actually want
[08:35] <mdke> go for the webmaster thing
[08:35] <jsgotangco> yeah do lots of python stuff
[08:35] <jsgotangco> :P
[08:35] <Burgwork> I lack the skills in programming for that
[08:35] <Burgwork> but mark is also looking for marketing people
[08:35] <Burgwork> and sales
[08:36] <mdke> Burgwork: nah, I don't think programming skills are very high up on the list. You can learn them as you go
[08:36] <Burgwork> thing is, I am not certain I want to be a webmaster
[08:37] <mdke> I think the classic definition of webmaster doesn't apply, look at what henrik used to do, it's much more varied
[08:37] <jsgotangco> i wish i had your confidence, i am culturally bound to feeling not up to par at all
[08:37] <mdke> jsgotangco: you shouldn't be like that dude
[08:38] <jsgotangco> mdke: i have failed many times before and i am simply a bit too old to fail again
[08:38] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, don;t think like that
[08:38] <jjesse> hey rob
[08:38] <jjesse> wrong ping
[08:38] <robotgeek> he jjesse
[08:38] <jjesse> robotgeek: evil prorietary (you mean MS ) :")
[08:38] <robotgeek> jjesse: that and NI
[08:39] <mdke> bbl
[08:39] <jsgotangco> robotgeek: heck i even code more evil prorprietary mobile telecom crap
[08:39] <jjesse> robotgeek: grin i'm an evil empire network admin for a living :)
[08:39] <robotgeek> jjesse: well, i'm having to pick up vb "skills" in a hurry
[08:39] <robotgeek> i though C and python were good enough for everyone!
[08:40] <jsgotangco> robotgeek: same here sadly, i have to program this IVR crap on VB
[08:40] <jsgotangco> because Asterisk is such a crack to configure in a short span of time
[08:41] <jsgotangco> but here i am almost 3am just finished doing a test on VB crap
[08:41] <jjesse> hey guys just wanted to let everyone know that i'm switching jobs in two weeks so i might awol for a bit
[08:41] <robotgeek> jjesse: great. good luck :)
[08:42] <jsgotangco> robotgeek: im in a good paying job but i seem to be not happy
[08:42] <jjesse> thanks, don't know if i'll be allowed IRC at new job like i am now :)
[08:42] <dsas> You guys are enough to put off people from entering The Real World. :p
[08:42] <jsgotangco> dsas: you could always start an entrepreneural career in SecondLife ;)
[08:42] <jsgotangco> www.secondlife.com
[08:42] <jsgotangco> heh
[08:43] <jjesse> jsgotangco: do you play secondlife?
[08:43] <jsgotangco> dsas: i will probably be deemed obsolete in a few more years
[08:43] <dsas> jsgotangco: I'd never hear the end of people telling me to get a real job I'm sure.
[08:43] <jsgotangco> jjesse: yeah dude, in SL, people pay me to escort them lol
[08:44] <dsas> jsgotangco: You make it sound like you're a computer yourself. I'm sure you can renew your skills if need be.
[08:45] <jsgotangco> jjesse: for some reason, i always forget to change my linden dollars to real $
[08:45] <jjesse> jsgotangco: that's cool that people can make money in secondlife
[08:45] <jsgotangco> strange but true
[08:45] <dsas> There's some new-ish mmorpg that you use actual real dollars to play the game, and you can withdraw them at any time.
[08:46] <robotgeek> i already spend too much time in front of the computer. i need a Real Life TM
[08:46] <jsgotangco> as long as its not invaded by asian in-game resource farmers, it would be fine
[08:47] <robotgeek> anyways guy, lunch time for me
[08:47] <robotgeek> err, guys
[08:47] <jsgotangco> oh well
[08:48] <jsgotangco> there's nothing much i can at the moment, except live with what i have :)
[08:49] <jsgotangco> can't complain even, i still am capable of paying my bandwidth and my child's education as well as drive a car
[08:51] <jsgotangco> yuck this new usplash looks horrid
[09:04] <LaserJock> so who's going to Paris again? jjesse did I see you can't make it?
[09:04] <Burgwork> LaserJock, not going, due to work
[09:05] <jsgotangco> LaserJock: you're going?
[09:05] <LaserJock> well, I heard from a reliable source that I'm sponsored, but I haven't gotten an email quite yet
[09:06] <mdke> cool
[09:06] <jsgotangco> wow you have a mole!
[09:06] <Burgwork> LaserJock, is JaneW leaking information again?
[09:06] <LaserJock> I have spys everywhere. You guys think that sabdfl is running the show?  hehe
[09:07] <jsgotangco> LaserJock: cool, you can add lasers to the city of lights then
[09:07] <LaserJock> Burgwork: I can neither confirm  nor deny... ;-)
[09:09] <LaserJock> anyway, if I go I'd like to have some doc discussions
[09:09] <Burgwork> LaserJock, the issue we have always had is that not enough are there
[09:10] <dsas> This time there's not going to be as much discussion though right? Most planning is to be done upfront.
[09:10] <Burgwork> it is usually a crazy week of talking
[09:10] <jsgotangco> yes
[09:10] <jsgotangco> and getting drunk
[09:11] <jsgotangco> (if you're with the right people)
[09:11] <jsgotangco> at least in paris you'll get drunk with style
[09:12] <LaserJock> hmm, I'm not really a drinker, but I better not say that too loud or they won't let me go ;-)
[09:13] <mdke> azz, 6 days til translation freeze
[09:14] <LaserJock> yikes
[09:15] <Burgwork> when is the "We tie Mark's hand behind his back"-freeze?
[09:15] <mdke> there isn't one :-(
[09:15] <jsgotangco> wow i must be pretty well-stoned its almost 4am and i am still awake
[09:16] <mdke> jsgotangco: too much green tea?
[09:16] <jsgotangco> mdke: more like too much brain activity going
[09:16] <mdke> ah, that's bad
[09:16] <mdke> i switch off my brain at 6 sharp
[09:17] <jsgotangco> i wish i could afford that
[09:17] <mdke> meh
[09:17] <mdke> that was 6am
[09:18] <jsgotangco> mdke: those poor clients...
[09:18] <mdke> i don't have any :)
[09:19] <LaserJock> heh, good thing my wife runs my life.  Is that why I see lots of _ and __
[10:52] <Burgwork> hmm, that was odd
[10:55] <mdke> Burgwork: sometimes yes
[11:23] <LaserJock> yeah for tranlations!
[11:28] <Burgwork> mdke, for some reason, xchat closed
[11:29] <mdke> Burgwork: ok.
