@jrg let me go back and read what you're trying to do...
@msPeachy do it with the dir.
jrg
jrg
@aking1012 do .wav > mp3.
i use sox for that
it's what it's built for
Introduction SoX reads and writes audio files in most popular formats and can optionally apply effects to them; it can combine multiple input sources, synthesise audio, and, on many systems, act as a general purpose audio player or a multi-track audio recorder. It also has limited ability to split the input in to multiple output files. All SoX functionality is available using just the sox command, however, to simplify playing and recording audio, if SoX is invoked as play the output file is automatically set to be the default sound device and if invoked as rec the default sound device is used as an input source. Additionally, the soxi(1) command provides a convenient way to just query audio file header information. The heart of SoX is a library called libSoX. Those interested in extending SoX or using it in other programs should refer to the libSo
jrg
jrg
i thought sox was for running USS Enterprise noises in the server room to screw with contractors. :P
there's an example in the man page that does EXACTLY what you want
15:01
I've just used soundconverter. it is a gui though. not suitable for unix geek
@jrg :)
jrg
jrg
@Anwar can't use a GUI, this is eventually going to be hacked into a big script.
@jokerdino Pong...
answer - man u1sdtool
15:03
@jokerdino I have Ubuntu One uninstalled...
me too
@ObsessiveFOSS so?
it doesn't work for me.
OK. I am going to answer !
it is on windows???! o.O
15:04
@jokerdino I'll have to do a bit of searching...
okay good luck.
@Anwar found it already,...
@Anwar he is using windows though
voted
15:07
@jokerdino No. I am on Precise...
As in, the OP is on Windows.
@jokerdino OK...
jrg
jrg
@aking1012 LAME looks... totally not lame.
3
yeah, liblame is the library for mp3...
@ObsessiveFOSS askubuntu.com/users/54298/….. 250 rep.. :-(
bah, it was your rep..
15:10
@jokerdino Yes, sad...
jrg
jrg
> I also want to become a ♦ on AskUbuntu but never will.
Be careful. I put that up on my profile and look what happened to me @ObsessiveFOSS.
@jrg Oh no!
@jrg Problem rectified. Please tread carefully with the last link. It is actually two.
Awesomeness: look at the number of pages of users at askubuntu.com/users. Exactly 1337 pages...
4
@jrg like the fix?
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS no. you will come to the darkside.
Hmm I personally dislike negativity.
hey jokerdino
15:15
hey jorge
@jrg You have failed, your highness. I am a jedi, like my father before me.
do you have stacktack on your blog?
@jokerdino: you positive?
i don't.
but i can set up a tumblr with stacktack
wordpress.com doesn't allow stacktack :(
@JourneymanGeek That's the irony.
15:17
I have a tumblr with stacktack
so, i can hook it up on planet if necessary
I need a rep recalc... Doing it right now...

Q: Is "laptop-mode-tools" still relevant for 12.04 and the 3.x kernels?

rasvetI'm using Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and trying to choose power management software. Laptop-mode-tools have a lot of features, but the only reason why I'm worry about is that it's manual and config files are written like for Linux 2.6 kernel. But Ubuntu currently has 3.2 kernel version, and, as I know, it ...

this is way too awesome to not share with the world
that's why I ask
Does sharing on twitter help boost vote counts?
@JorgeCastro hmm can i have two blogs on planet then?
I guess?
15:19
okay that's good then.
i just need someone to bzr the tumblr feed for me :D
rss feed. I just need someone to add it to planet ubuntu branch :'(
@jokerdino ? i didn't get you
oh.. okay.
some ubuntu member can possibly do it for me.
/me cant do that. not a ubuntu member yet
yeah.
@jokerdino do what now?
15:22
@jokerdino read that long ago.
@LordofTime add unbrokenspectrum.tumblr.com/tagged/ubuntu/rss to planet ubuntu rss feed under my name.
as in, for me.
dont know if i can do two blogs though.
@jokerdino you need to be a member to get a planet ubuntu thing
if you're not a member i cant post that
you cant.
not without prior approval, last i checked.
i am a member o.O
I will never be a member.
I got it
15:24
@JorgeCastro got what? approval?
jrg
jrg
@LordofTime he's a member. he just can't do it himself because of his stupid network.
What jrg said.
:'(
lemme make sure my servers' SSH keys are part of my LP profile.
jrg
jrg
15:25
@LordofTime Jorge is doing it. :P
I'm almost done
@jokerdino Thank you. Update was a success.
returns to the boring work of calling agency ISOs
15:25
@msPeachy Yay again!
thanks a lot!!
@jokerdino :)
Hold on.. .logging out and logging in again..
It took me so long to type my password: It's complex enough, long enough, and I have eight puncture wounds on my thumb...
add bugheat here.
When a site is visited in Firefox that can be integrated with Unity, the icon appears in the Launcher. However, when the site is no longer open (tab is closed, or even after the browser is closed), the icon persists (with no arrows) as if it were locked to the Launcher -- even if it isn't locked. The only known ways to clear the stale Webapp icons are to log out and back in, or to crash Compiz (the stale icons are gone when Compiz respawns). This behavior is consistent (it happens for every Webapp that supports integration, and it happens every time I log out and back in). I would expect the Launcher icons to disappear when the webapps are closed, just like a native application's icon disappears when it is closed. As such, this seems to be a bug.
WebApps: unity-firefox-extension
Undecided / New
15:33
what someone snuck in and replaced your keyboard with this?
user image

@aking1012 It's bad enough with a BIOS chip...
@aking1012: I have something in my toolkit for that
Skewered my thumb...
> Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Pornography"
15:34
Ow..
Well, that was some serious content there.
@jokerdino lol
eh, i am not making it up. It got blocked.
it's just needles sticking out of a keboard.
@ObsessiveFOSS i'll need to confirm before I add heat.
15:35
There's some obvious penetration involved there
4
@Mahesh OK. Just try it. It's a 30K download...
its probably where it came from that is getting it blocked @jokerdino
@mateo_salta I think so.
Yes, it's typecasting the site as "possibly not safe for work"
i need wifi. everything blocked on lan. it needs to wait till I get to institute. tomorrow, or monday.
jrg
jrg
15:36
TextMate 2, the leading text editor for the Mac lovers is open source - github.com/textmate/textmate
2
They apparently whitelist websites instead of blacklisting.
@jokerdino thaats a good thing to do.
@jrg when did that happen?
jrg
jrg
@aking1012 like half an hour ago.
@jrg ROFL
15:37
sweet. ruby programmers of the world rejoice \o/
jrg
jrg
I only found out about it 2 minutes ago.
@jrg I. AM. NO. MAC. LOVER.
@ObsessiveFOSS some ruby guys bought macs just for that text editor...just saying
2
@MarcoCeppi: Haaaalp!
My site is acting up - something in the control panel is messed up.
@GeorgeEdison What?!?!?!
@jrg so who is packaging it up in a ppa for ubuntu??
@aking1012 someone who can make a makefile :P
jrg
jrg
@aking1012 So, who wants to do it?
if i could create a working makefile i'd do it but meh
jrg
jrg
I don't think it'd be easy.
15:40
maybe if i get bored with this opengl drudgery
@jrg What does it use?
it has a configure script. that MIGHT generate a makefile crosses fingers
But it uses the Mac SDK.
jrg
jrg
It has a configure script
jrg
jrg
and it does use the mac sdk
no...it doesn't use make. it uses ninja...

whoever does the conversion to gtk/qt is going to be considered a god among men...you know that right?
@Chipaca Hi. Have a question about U1. Is there a way to force U1 for Windows, not to auto sign into an account?
@msPeachy not sure, but give me a minute and i'll find out
@Chipaca Okay, thank you
jrg
jrg
@jokerdino just publish. it's better than our largest competitions.
and that is not OMG.
LOL
I don't know if that was a compliment.
jrg
jrg
it is a compliment. JUST PUBLISH ALREADY. ;p
15:46
okok :P
Done.
@msPeachy what's the use case? In other words, what are you trying to do?
@Chipaca it would be better if you read my question on AU, if you don't mind?
@msPeachy sure
I am curious if @msPeachy asked chipaca to come to the chat or he just happened to fall into the trap.
@msPeachy hmm. where to start
15:50
@Chipaca link's provided above ^^
hello there
@msPeachy you realize all your files (in the folders you have selected to sync) are actually downloaded to the windows machine, so they're available whether the syncdaemon is running or not?
@jokerdino i came uninvited, and i don't feel it's a trap
so maybe it's a very very good one
@Chipaca Yes, that is why I only ticked one folder to sync
@jokerdino I don't need to trap someone to talk to me, pfft
@msPeachy ok, i'll either reply to the question myself, or have one of my serfs do it for me
2
did i say serfs? I meant minions
2
@Chipaca Good to hear then.
@msPeachy :P
15:52
@Chipaca :)) minions? Okay I will wait
Front
@RolandTaylor where you've been?
inside the closet!
I think chat is limiting our productivity.
15:58
2 more minutes..
Who's closet?
yeah :((
@msPeachy hiding lol
not really :D
night night dino
What happened was that I was online since early this morning, but then Clementine had a memory leak :/
Twice
I had to restart the first time
logged into enlightenment,
and then had the same problem again
noooo
16:01
I hate memory leaks with a passion lol
@RolandTaylor I don't even get what that is
@msPeachy lol
It's when an application encounters a bug in the code that causes it to start using up more RAM than it should, without cleaning up after itself
@GeorgeEdison that is awesome!
In my case it's especially problematic cause I only have 4GB of RAM, and under my setup with so many indicators and such - it uses nearly 2GB at idle!
(Unity is also quite the memory hog)
16:03
@RolandTaylor Oh I see. Memory eater.
@GeorgeEdison Digia?
Hello all
@GeorgeEdison neat. i wonder if there will eventually be a lawsuit about some kind of patent infringement? nokia was getting as bad as apple there for a while
@msPeachy yeah :(
@RolandTaylor I only have 2GB of RAM. Don't have indicators, I have conky though.
Oh, well you will have an easier time too because of how the system will allocate resources to suit the amount of RAM you have
16:05
@GeorgeEdison Mind sharing the code that flackbot uses to post stuff?
@RolandTaylor I have 2GB of DDR1 ram :/
jrg
jrg
@RolandTaylor see, i just kill indicators.
I find it better to have 1 or 2GB, than to have 4... because the system does a poor job with 4 in my experience (it seems to do a poor job with 4, but does well with only 1)
@jrg Can't, I use them quite a bit
AU just asked me: Are you a human being?
jrg
jrg
I'm a developer. I need my ram. I live in the terminal, tmux and other hackish stuff. Who needs indicators?
one of them shows my system temperature - which is critical because this HP does a poor job of cooling itself so I need to keep a close eye on it
jrg
jrg
16:06
@RolandTaylor interesting.
system temp is important, i use that on my HP as well.
The others are various apps and such
I'll show you a screenshot
@msPeachy you are?
I didn't log out, but when I clicked on a link to my profile it asked me that.
course I am @RolandTaylor
jrg
jrg
@msPeachy it does random spotchecks.
16:08
@RolandTaylor looks like you need more applets...
too many indicators
jrg
jrg
I still get them occasionally, even as a moderator.
@aking1012 :)
I wish that indicators could autohide as in KDE
It's annoying to have so many visible at all times
@jrg Oh okay
And yes, I use just about all of them (except maybe the U1 indicator which I only need sometimes)
16:09
@RolandTaylor I am but it's our secret
@RolandTaylor i use screenlets instead of applets for most of what you have clogging up your top-bar
@msPeachy oh my mistake :O
@aking1012 screenlets are written in python == more RAM hogging :(
@AmithKK: I'm afraid not.
That's proprietary for a reason.
Not only that - it doesn't work :P
@GeorgeEdison Hmm
16:12
@AMithKK just drive a browser with selenium...
jrg
jrg
It's only proprietary for a reason - because Jorge is scared of what we can do.
@aking1012 or mechanise
How Do I import cookies from a browser to cookiejar ?
jrg
jrg
i'm really tempted to write a selenium script to remove
i had issues with active-updating javascript in most of the web automation tools. selenium just works
jrg
jrg
and other bad tags.
16:13
@jrg Whynot
jrg
jrg
@AmithKK too busy.
@jrg you should
@RolandTaylor what's ur ubuntu flavor?
@msPeachy Manybuntu
xD
jk
16:15
@RolandTaylor Mine is OctaQuantillionNeoUbuntu
I have Ubuntu + KDE + XFCE + GNOME Shell + Gnome Classic + Enlightenment + Pantheon + God knows what
@RolandTaylor Oh. KDE + XFCE?
@msPeachy a lot of things lol
I have them all installed, and switch between them from time to time
i'm on dual boot
@Amith it works if you install it properly
16:20
Seems like its running it before the page loads
@msPeachy Windows and Ubuntu?
Yes
Win7 and Oneiric
@AmithKK If I gave you the code (that used to work), then I would have to give it to everyone else.
Then the room would fill with spam from poorly written bots.
@AmithKK If you're trying selenium, just have it sleep/wait a bit
16:24
\o/
@msPeachy both my systems dual boot, but I only use the Ubuntu side on each lol
@AmithKK so i guess you have selenium working now...oh lord what have i done...
@RolandTaylor then why dual boot?
btw @jrg the Xubuntu install didn't work :(
Kept crashing after copying files
16:25
I only have Win cos of my sisters, they prefer windows
@msPeachy because on the main laptop, I had vista first and when I installed Ubuntu I still needed it (for college :()
And on the second laptop, I needed windows for Nokia Suite
Now I need neither
You should remove it then
I want to just do a fresh install on a new hard drive
Or really just get a new laptop :)
Why is there a separate Ubuntu for the Chinese language? ubuntu.com/download/desktop/zh-CN
16:27
@ObsessiveFOSS because there's a need for it?
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS includes all the Chinese spyware. ;p
@jrg Really.
Now I see the connection between modship and insanity... ;p
@Chipaca Thank you so much. Will try this at work.
jrg
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS Thats the IT security side of me talking.
What you mean GreenDam is linux compatible now?
16:29
@jrg There is an insanity connection between every sport except competitive wirewinding.
It probably also disables tor from repo...just saying
@ObsessiveFOSS I think your logic may be inverted
In the spirit of the chinese edition, here's an answer that could use some screenshots!
2
Q: How do I get Chinese input to work?

davidyuHow do I configure Ubuntu to input Chinese?

@jrg So insanity->sports other than competitive wirewinding?
/me adds his recently taken regedit screenshots to @JorgeCastro's question
@RolandTaylor You should
16:31
regedit?
@JorgeCastro yup
/me upvotes
and am I glad it's windows 7 and not xp
there is no vault in xp
@msPeachy I'm working toward it :)
shudder
16:34
@AmithKK @jokerdino @GeorgeEdison @jrg see the 2buntu room
1
Q: Please burinate the "untagged" tag

Emerson Hsiehuntagged does not mean anything. Any question should at least belong to one tag, so this is useless. It should be burinated. Note: I had retagged the questions that had untagged to their corresponding tags.

@aking1012 How Do I automate the login?
that's in the code for stackchat. check my github
Woah
Awesome!
FlackBot 2.0 isn't far :P
yeah...i was doing a google messenger bridge at one point, but sort of got bored
16:48
What?
The code @JorgeCastro dreads is on the public internet.
A clone of FlackBot? :)
@GeorgeEdison was the what at me?
@GeorgeEdison Yeah
@aking1012 Cool!
16:49
yeah. i'm better at working around packaging issues now. i could get selenium into ppa if i bent the rules a bit
make sure bending the rules doesnt get you doomed.
@aking1012 Selenium bindings aren't in the repos?
@LordofTime yeah. it's a binary component thing. there would be a warning on the package "contains binary components" and it's all in good faith on the selenium tools being legitimate
Yes, that would be preferable, but just having it show up on the desktop would be nice, too. — Drew 1 min ago
Then this is a duplicate, I think. Isn't it?
@ObsessiveFOSS the bindings are, but selenium itself is not...last time i checked
16:54
BBT
Good Night
@AmithKK nite
What procedure shall I use to get both selenium and bindings for your python script?
it's simple installation if you go to their website. it's just not in ppa or repo
you also need xvfb python bindings
@aking1012 check with the maintainers first of either Debian or Ubuntu
perhaps even the MOTUs if its universe-ish
yeah. i said could, not would
16:56
back
@LordofTime i'm a little occupied on building out this puzzle-game thing.
@RolandTaylor just in time
@msPeachy for the dancing competition?
lol
I'm about to leave.
I brought my dancing shoes, just give a dancefloor
16:58
Good night.
@msPeachy O_O
struggles to breathe no!
I don't dance
this... this is heresy
puts @RolandTaylor on the old show called "So you think you can dance", just to see what happens.
16:59
Good night every one
finally...a woman that doesn't dance. i was convinced they didn't exist...
6
good night @msPeachy :D
