| <PFA> is thre a Oo.o channel? | |
| <Madpilot> gah, we've got this white stuff on the ground here - what's it doing off the ski hills where it belongs? | |
| <paul___> ubuntu newbie here..saying hi | |
| <Burgundavia> hey paul___ | |
| <Burgundavia> welcome | |
| <paul___> thank you | |
| <paul___> i must say i'm impressed with ubuntu as an os | |
| <Burgundavia> I am the leader of Ubuntu Canada, so you have just fallen into my completely evil clutches | |
| <Burgundavia> as I am sure Madpilot can attest to | |
| <paul___> that's great..what can i say | |
| <Burgundavia> where in Canada do you live? | |
| <paul___> i was seduced by allthose free discs I got in the mail | |
| <paul___> i live in Southwest Ontari | |
| <paul___> ONtario | |
| <paul___> Ontario, sorry | |
| <paul___> near Windsor | |
| <Burgundavia> ok, cool | |
| <Burgundavia> how far from Windsor? | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, great evil leader, why the heck is our website still down? | |
| <paul___> about 25 km | |
| <Burgundavia> oh, right | |
| <Burgundavia> Madpilot: let me go poke that | |
| <Burgundavia> paul___: if you want to see how vox populi using Linux, go to the Windsor Public Library | |
| <tonyyarusso> paul___: I'll wave when I go by next month | |
| <paul___> oh yeah..what time and when | |
| <Burgundavia> all the time | |
| <Burgundavia> all of Windsors public access computers run Linux | |
| <paul___> really I didn't know | |
| <Burgundavia> stormont dundas and glengarry is the same | |
| <Burgundavia> so does uwindsor | |
| <paul___> i will have to check that out | |
| <paul___> i was impressed at the simplicity of installation | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, site seems to be back up | |
| <Burgundavia> just kicking the machine back up | |
| <tonyyarusso> literally? | |
| <Burgundavia> not literally | |
| <tonyyarusso> Ah, the less fun but less expensive route | |
| <Burgundavia> I actually want the machine to survive | |
| <logick_> hello? | |
| <Madpilot> hi | |
| <Burgundavia> hey logick_ | |
| <logick_> this is my first time on irc | |
| <logick_> is anyone able to help me troubleshoot a problem with mplayer plugin in firefox? | |
| <Burgundavia> sure | |
| <Burgundavia> however, I recommend the totem plugin | |
| *** theCore is now known as theCore_ | |
| <logick_> had bad luck with totem too. | |
| <Burgundavia> which video are you trying to play? which version of Ubuntu are using? | |
| <logick_> my problem is this, when i go to the website http://www.cbc.ca/mercerreport/, I can use mplayer to view a video but after watching one it won't work to play another one until about an hour has gone by. Then it works for one again. | |
| <logick_> I am using 6.10 | |
| <logick_> any ideas? | |
| <Burgundavia> ok, the totem plugin works fine for me | |
| <Burgundavia> you need all the various and sundry codecs, however | |
| <logick_> yeah, i have all of those. | |
| <Burgundavia> certain? | |
| <logick_> Well I used Automatix | |
| <Burgundavia> you need to have bad-multiverse and ugly-multiverse | |
| <Burgundavia> ugh, automatix | |
| <Burgundavia> automatix causes serious issues | |
| <logick_> I just used it to install all the codecs. Maybe this is my problem? | |
| <Burgundavia> install totem-mozilla | |
| <logick_> Is totem-mozilla what would have been on by default? | |
| <Burgundavia> yes | |
| <logick_> I'll give it a try. Thanks. | |
| <Burgundavia> install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, -fluendo (both of them), -bad, -ugly, -good and the multiverse variants of both ugly and bad | |
| <Burgundavia> then choose the quicktime video over the wmv one | |
| <logick_> I always choose quicktime. I will try your advice. | |
| <logick_> ok, I have all of those installed. How do I force firefox to use totem-mozilla over mplayer? | |
| <logick_> ping Burgundavia | |

| <sfllaw> Sorry about the short notice. | |
| <sfllaw> It's all day. | |
| <Burgwork> yep, will do, but it might be a few hours until I can do it | |
| <sfllaw> Fair enough. | |
| <sfllaw> Also, the System 76 guys say "hi". | |
| <Burgwork> say hi back | |
| <sfllaw> I can't. They're gone. | |
| <sfllaw> They told me to say hi last week. | |
| <sfllaw> Because we're from the same country. | |
| <sfllaw> Not last week. | |
| <sfllaw> Woah. | |
| <sfllaw> Three weeks ago. | |
| <sfllaw> How time flies. | |
| <Burgwork> indeed | |

| <bradley> does anyone know how to rename a usb drive? | |
| <Burgwork> bradley: try looking under properties | |
| <Burgwork> right click | |
| <bradley> i found something in the forum called mtools which should allow me to rename the drive. it is a little complicated... but do-able. |
