Comments:
<0> unfortunately, more and more countries are jumping on the U.S.A. patent/copyright wagon, as they are in the deep pockets of the US
<1> Samus_Aran: You mean, in 2009?
<1> :)
<2> iirc, UK and France both recently decided to not go along with it.
<3> a
<1> EU doesn't recognize software patents fully
<4> yet
<1> it's unknown whether they will hold up in courts or not
<0> Spec: one would hope they wouldn't be as shady as UniSys (m***ively building up popularity, then suing like mad), but they do still go after anyone earning money even indirectly from an MP3 encoder
<5> _azrael, got it. Thanks.
<1> It seems like they just p***ively go after hardware manufacturers
<1> That's a pathetic way to earn money, seriously :-/
<2> right anyways, my question, when compiling audacious, from SVN, on this particular machine I always get the following error: http://pastebin.com/704775 , now, it compiles on my other ubuntu box, and other things compile as well, so I know its not the program, what is the issue I am having though, if anyone knows?
<4> eh, most HW manufacturers pay them, no lawsuits needed
<6> Even when mp3 isn't the best....
<7> I have all of my music stored on a network drive, and I'm accessing it using Samba. I'd like to play this music with amaroK and add it all to my Collection. In order to do that, I need to add the SMB mountpoint to amaroK's Collection. However, I cannot find the SMB "shortcut" that Nautilus put on my Desktop... Anyone able to help?
<1> naa, i meant UniSys
<3> I am planning on removing XP on my first hard disk. and install XP inside Ubunut on my second hard disk. and then using the first disk as more space where I can save stuff. however I am wondering if I can save programs and there settings on XP. and then put into my virtual machine. programs such as Visual Basic for example. I mean so I don't have to re install it
<8> how can I get wifi working with dapper on an x40 ibm thinkpad? the wifi card is by no means uncommon and, yet, the wifi light is not flickering
<9> I'm trying to kinit a user, but I get the following error: 'Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while getting initial credentials'
<1> Once mad-suiing ensues (hehe, hehe, hehe.) everyone'll switch to Ogg/Vorbis(Theora=video?)
<10> cparker: mount -t smbfs -o username=user,p***word=p***word //network/path /filesystem/mountpoint
<0> Snow seems more promising than Theora
<0> it needs a lot of CPU, but has much more potential
<11> i think i accidentally installed the dapper vnc packages and now can't get any user interface - xserver errors. I'm using Breezy, any way to go back to remove the vnc package i installed and go back? I don't remember which ones they were exactly cause i was using the synaptic package manager and now i can't see that anymore
<7> _azrael: The Nautilus shortcut's no good, then? It says it's of type x-directory/smb-share
<1> What is Snow?
<3> I want to remove XP on my first hard disk, where I have programs such as Visual Basic for example that I do not want to remove. and that I want to put into a XP virtual machine inside Ubuntu. is this possible? and once XP is gone can I just make that first hard disk where XP is a Linux partion that I can save stuff to?
<10> cparker: Sorry, it may be of some use, but I have no clue how to use it.
<1> nb: dpkg -l |grep -i vlc
<0> Spec: a very new video codec
<7> _azrael: Okay, then... I'll try your metod. Thanks. :)
<1> nb: then dpkg --purge <packagename>
<2> sebastiann: yes you can for the files, not sure on the copying the installed stuff over, maybe if you copy all the files and the registry.
<10> sebastiann: Look into wine and cedega for that.
<0> Spec: once it is ironed out, it will offer better compression than XviD/DivX
<4> theora is supposed to be the stopagap free video solution
<1> Samus_Aran: for the trade off of cpu usage?
<0> Spec: currently it has pretty inefficient decoders, though
<12> I would like advice on installing the last.fm player. it ships as a tarball with an executable in it. would it be best to just move the executable to /usr/bin?
<13> hi
<3> _azreal can you be more specific in what you are trying to tell me
<0> Spec: I suppose by the time it goes mainstream Joe Schmoe will have twice as fast CPU as is needed =p
<10> sebastiann: Go look at the WINE project.
<13> i have upgraded ubuntu to 6.06
<13> and i cant execute vmware
<3> _azreal I know about Wine
<4> tarkin is where it's really at
<13> i tried to install vmmodules
<4> at any rate, it's not a competitor to theora unless it's not patent encumbered.
<10> sebastiann: In that case, I'm telling you that they'll know much more about how to set up an environment.
<7> _azrael: Is there a way to mount an SMB share without needing root privileges?
<14> hi]
<0> spikeb: Snow is an open format
<10> cparker: As far as I know, no.
<0> spikeb: afaik
<10> cparker: But I'm no expert
<1> cparker: you can set the suid bit maybe
<4> Samus_Aran: that would be sweet then :)
<1> cparker: but that'd be like having root, so no :p
<3> _azreal I have already installed 2000 before inside Linux using a virtual machine with VMware player, but now I plan to install XP with VMware server inside Ubuntu
<7> heheh
<15> ok, one more question, when I have a ntfs formatted disk with two partions, can I format one of the partions to linux file system and let the other be untouched (ntfs with music files)
<2> cparker: add the info to fstab?
<2> which needs root to edit it
<10> sebastiann: Ah, makes more sense now.
<11> Spec: was that first command two lines? and supposed to be grep -i vnc?
<2> but once its there shouldn't
<0> spikeb: you can find Snow developers in #MPlayer, as MPlayer is the main (only ?) program that supports it
<1> nb: dpkg -l |grep -i vnc
<1> nb: that's the pipe, same key as \
<4> Samus_Aran: got a link to a project page or anything?
<2> and you could try mounting it somehwere in your home dir.
<16> what is LaTex?
<10> sebastiann: So you just need to recover some of your apps? It's probably work better to reinstall them after you install XP to the fake drive.
<11> spec: thanks
<1> zenithsglint: how you write books
<2> zenithsglint: ask google.
<7> hmmmm.... smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
<0> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_(codec)
<1> zenithsglint: it's the language of books, basically :p
<10> zenithsglint: LaTeX is a formatting language. It's good for lab reports and such.
<17> Gradius9: dapper can handle ntfs so if i understand you yes
<2> cparker: sudo apt-get install smbfs
<18> guys, I'm reinstalling a server, and my host has said that they've put in my old hd as a slave drive for me to get my old data off. I can't find the drive anywhere though ?
<16> Oh I gotchya.
<16> thx
<1> babo: in the command line type: fdisk -l
<3> _azrael and well this company that I was going to work for installed Visual Basic for me. and some other programs. and so I carn't just install them onto XP
<1> babo: sorry, i meant: sudo fdisk -l
<0> "Snow is similar to Ogg Tarkin, Dirac (codec), and numerous other wavelet-using codecs."
<7> ah. i thought i had that installed already. thanks, frying_fish.
<0> I had never even heard of Tarkin before
<12> Samus_Aran: the last.fm player program ships as a directory (Last.fm-1.1.4) containing two directories (cache and data), one text file (copying), and one executable. i think i should put it somewhere then make a symbolic link. how can i do that?
<1> What's so good about last.fm?
<2> so guys, any ideas on my problem at: http://pastebin.com/704775
<15> pike_: hm, but can it handle to format only parts of a ntfs formatted disk, (need that part for linux)
<10> sebastiann: OK, you can probably recover the files, but whether they'll work properly without their registry keys is questionable.
<3> _azreal maybe Visaul Basic and these other programs only need their serial number or some other serial number. I don't know. stupid commercail programs. I mean like I could download a trial for it say and register with their serial number?
<19> Spec, are you serious?
<20> im looking for help with a new hard drive i just installed, can someone pm me for help?
<21> question, if you install ubuntu as a client, how do you upgrade it to a server, if at all possible
<19> Spec, it's one the best things ever.
<12> Spec: it data mines my music for tags as i play it then lets me use "neighbor radio" streams to find new similar artists
<0> ToHellWithGA: first off see how it needs to be run. can you launch the executable with: ./filename
<1> samuli: in one or two concise sentences, please explain to me why :p
<12> Samus_Aran: yes i can. that's exactly how it's run
<12> ./player
<7> frying_fish, what are you trying to compile?
<2> ToHellWithGA: most things such as audacious / xmms, have the abilitiy to work with the last.fm stuff.
<2> cparker: audacious, but its not a problem with the program.
<1> q0m: server is like a client install, without all the 'crap' that's not needed by a server
<19> ToHellWithGA: check the faq @ www.last.fm how to configure firefox to use it.
<2> I know that, since the code compiles on my other ubuntu box.
<0> ToHellWithGA: I would just stick it in your home dir then, or else choose a directory not used by Ubuntu so that it won't get mixed up with files being used by the package managers
<17> Gradius9: you can resize the disk during install if you need to free up space iow turn one ntfs partition into two:one ntfs and one linux
<3> _azreal maybe I can download the programs and register with their serial number?
<21> questio, if you install ubuntu as a client, is it possible to upgrade it to a server without reinstalling?????
<22> crimsun_: is there anyway that I can manually force programs to release the sound?
<23> q0m, sure...
<3> _azreal I mean a trial
<15> pike_: thanks for info
<1> q0m: Theoretically you could apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
<23> just install the server kernel
<21> how is it done
<0> ToHellWithGA: for example you could use /opt or /usr/local/<appname>
<12> Samus_Aran: could i put a symbolic link to it in /usr/bin so i could just type "lastfm" in any console?
<1> q0m: but i would back up any data before you did that
<10> sebastiann: Yeah, I know what you mean, but I really don't know. I don't think I can help you too much with this, sorry.
<21> we just installed it for cl***, and forgot to install as a server
<7> _azrael: is there a way to make sure this smb share is automounted every time I log in?
<0> ToHellWithGA: then create a simple launcher script that switches to that dir and runs it as: ./filename "$@"
<2> ToHellWithGA: more than likely, with ln -s
<21> so... you install the server kernal?
<19> Spec: It let's you play music you probably would like by checking what you like listen to.
<0> ToHellWithGA: if you simply symlink it, it probably won't be able to find its data files
<3> right so I get rid of XP on the first hard disk. and got Linux on the second hard disk. ,but then I want to make a ext3 or whatever partion on the first hard disk. that I can access from Ubuntu to save stuff to. how I do that?
<22> is there anyway that I can manually force programs to release the sound? Sometimes after playing flash sound I have to login and log out again from my session so I can listen to mplayer or rythymbox
<2> apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop won't uninstall all the graphical apps
<19> Spec: Great way to find new bands to listen to.
<24> hey, anyone else have an ATI card which displays little black dots on buttons?
<1> samuli: So the music comes from...my own collection?
<25> Does anyone have a clue to install a ATI RADEON 9600 Driver ?
<2> since its just a meta-package, or at least, I don't think it did when I removed it a little while back
<2> so cparker any idea on mine.
<2> rigonatti: !ati
<24> I've searched ubuntu forums, but all the results I found say, "search the forum"
<10> cparker: put it in your .bashrc
<7> frying_fish, i took a look, and I have no idea... :/
<2> ubotu: !tell rigonatti about ati
<15> I am installing now, but I cant view the whole wizard in the resolution the install is in(640x480) and I can not change it, have lcd that supports 1280x1024 and built in nvidia card mc 400 or something like that with 32 mb shared ram
