Debian :: Gnome's Pointer Capture Can Be Used In XFCE4?

Jul 26, 2010

The touchpad on my laptop being ultra-sensitive, I like to use the Pointer Capture applet in the mousetweaks package when typing. I've tried adding this to the taskbar in XFCE but get a message that "Assistive Technology Support is not enabled."

When I enable it, log out and back in, however, there is still no luck. The larger question is: Can this Gnome package be used in XFCE?

Edit: Pointer Capture works fine in Gnome but I would like to use it in XFCE.

Debian Configuration :: XFCE4 And GNOME Simultaneous Start

Mar 20, 2011

It's so frustrating that it costs me much self-control not to express my feelings about that directly.So the problem is that XFCE4 and GNOME starts after I choose GNOME option at start-up (in GDM or KDM - I don't know which of them I have as default).If I choose XFCE4 at start-up there is no problem - only XFCE4 starts. Otherwise (if I choose GNOME) GNOME starts and XFCE4 at the same time.

Ubuntu :: Install Xfce4-six-day-weatherforecast In Gnome?

Jun 27, 2010

I recently installed XUBUNTU for a friend of mine. When we configured the panel we could specify to see the daily weather (temperature, ...) and also when we hovered with the mouse over the weather-icon an interesting 6-day-weather-forecast was shown. This is the xfce4-weather-plugin.

I tried to install this plugin in Ubuntu but I could not find this plugin (as expected because Ubuntu is a GNOME-desktop) back. Is it possible to activate this interesting plugin in GNOME? This 6-day weather-forecast is really appealing and I wonder why such a nice plugin is only available for a rather "simple" xfce-environment and not for a more "complicated gnome-desktop?

Hardware :: PCOS Gnome And Conextant Video Capture?

Nov 24, 2010

Has anyone experience of using a Conextant video card on PCLos ?I have a V-stream DV/AV Expert video capture card (not tv, only for vcr) based on the Conextant CX2388x chip which I have used successfully in Win XP to capture videos from the vcr, followed by converting and burning to them dvd with Ulead Video Studio 9.I would like to be able to do this in PCLos, removing yet another Win dependancy.To start with, I used tvtime to see if I could actually receive a signal from this card. A signal is received using Video source of Composite2, but there is no sound. The external audio cable is connected from the card to the sound card.

lspci | grep -i cx238 shows
03:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
dmesg | grep -i cx238 shows
cx88/0: cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.7 loaded

If I do manage to receive a video and sound signal from the card, could anyone advise me of capture and conversion software to transfer the video to dvd ?I have tried Cinelerra, Kino and LiVES, but as far as I can see, (please correct me if I am wrong) these apps will only capture or load digital video.None of the apps pick up the V-stream analog capture card.

Debian Configuration :: How To Install Ttf Fonts In 8.0 With XFCE4

Jan 16, 2016

I have problem to install my fonts in my Debian. I used this guide but it not worked for me, i just could right click on the font and install it with font viewer.

Ubuntu Linux searches for fonts in specific locations as listed in the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.

A look at the contents of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file indicates the following directories which are searched by Ubuntu Linux for fonts. They are :

/usr/share/fonts
/usr/share/X11/fonts
/usr/local/share/fonts
~/.fonts

So if you want to install new fonts in Ubuntu Linux or Debian for that matter, you can copy the fonts to any one of the 4 directories listed above.

The last directory ~/.fonts is a local hidden directory in every user’s Home folder. If you install the new fonts in this directory, the fonts will be available only for the person logged into that particular user account.

If you want your new fonts to be available system wide, to all users, then you should install them in any one of the first three directories listed above.

Once all your fonts are copied to the specific font directories, you have to make Ubuntu Linux aware of the new fonts so that it can make use of them. This is done by running the following command in the console :

$ sudo fc-cache -f -v

Result:

sepanta@dhcppc1:~$ sudo fc-cache -f -v

/usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 120 fonts, 6 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 6 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi: caching, new cache contents: 358 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi: caching, new cache contents: 358 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs

[Code] ...

Red are my fonts in two different folder.

Debian :: XFCE4 Workspace Stretch On Dual Monitor

Feb 18, 2016

I have been encounter 2 bugs on 2 sides of the coin. Seems it doesn't fix since Wheezy till now.

1. When I don't install any nonfree firmware I'm stuck at 1024x768 resoultions unable to turn to 1366x768
2. But when I install nonfree firmware my 1366x768 was solved but I encounter other new bugs

>> On Jessie: XFCE4.10 doesn't save any wallpaper everytime when reboot the pc & always reset to default.
But when remove nonfree firmware the bg save normally but I've to stuck at 1024x768 resulotion.
This also happen on Wheezy as well.
>> On Stretch: XFCE4.12 workspace become too long ugly.
But when remove nonfree firmware the workspace become normal
but I've to stuck at 1024x768 resulotion once again.

So any way with nonfree installed without this XFCE bugs or without nonfree driver install but make resolution 1366x768 work for not to stuck in 1024x768 resolutions. Overall I'm quite satisfy Stretch testing than Jessie Stable.

Debian Multimedia :: XFCE4 Shutdown Just Goes To LightDM Greeter

Apr 7, 2015

Since I've made the switch to Systemd, I've been having various problems with LightDM.

The most interesting and frustrating problem is when I choose Shutdown or Restart from the XFCE4 shutdown menu, the XFCE4 session closes but then the lightDM greeter pops back up. The system doesn't even try to shut down.

Its as if restart and shutdown both act the same as the Logout button.

Im running XFCE4 4.12 (but same behaviour on 4.10). I have the latest LightDM and the latest Systemd.

Debian Multimedia :: Xfce4 Desktop - Screen Goes Dim After 10 Minutes

Jun 9, 2015

I'm using the xfce4 desktop and I removed the default screensaver. The screen goes dim after 10 minutes and I was wanting to know if there is a config file where I can adjust the time.

Searching synaptic for "screensaver" shows xdg-utils installed which has xdg-sreensaver but I'm not sure if that is really the program that is dimming the screen. Anyway, I couldn't find a way to change the amount of time that it takes to do so.

Debian Installation :: Wheezy- No Running Instance Of Xfce4-panel?

May 15, 2011

I posted this same issue in the Xfce support forums this morning. So far, no replies. This morning, using Synaptic, I finally upgraded my main Wheezy Xfce 4.6 computer to Xfce 4.8. There were 225 upgrades, plus 33 new things to be installed. It has been about 2 weeks since I last fully upgraded that system, so I'm sure that not all of today's upgrades were directly related to Xfce 4.8.

I waited to upgrade as long as I did because Wheezy's been getting a steady stream of Xfce 4.8 upgrades for the past several days -- I wanted to wait until that stream stopped, to reduce the chances that I would run into an upgrade problem that was on the verge of being fixed.

The only issue I had was that, in the middle of the configuration step (for lib6, I think), it asked me to either stop or restart xscreensaver before continuing (so that I wouldn't get locked out of the current session), so I completely stopped xscreensaver.

Debian Multimedia :: Xfce4 Power Manager Using Too Much RAM After Jessie Upgrade

May 11, 2015

I recently upgrade from wheezy to jessie. I had a problem with the icons and solved it. Now when i place the xfce4-power-manager-plugin on the panel, the plugin is using more RAM than it needs. Currently its using 960 MiB. Yesterday it used about 3 GiB of RAM. It doesn't happen if the plugin is removed from panel.

Command in task manager:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libxfce4powermanager.so 20 20972767 power-manager-plugin Power Manager Plugin Display the battery levels of your device and control the brightness of your display.

Debian Multimedia :: Squeeze (Xfce4 Archiver) Can't Open Files?

Dec 23, 2010

This is about the Squeeze (0.2.3-8) archiver in Debian Squeeze. I may be missing a dependency, but is Squeeze incapable of opening files inside archives? I created a generic archive with "tar -cvf arxiv.tar file01.txt" and Squeeze segfaults when I try to double click to open the file (file01.txt) stored in the archive (arxiv.tar).

Also, after experimenting with Squeeze on the command line, it seems the "-n" option works, but results in an orphaned gui window; the "-x" option will only extract to a directory which already exists (which is o.k., but should be documented); and the "-d" option doesn't follow the general syntax in the man page "squeeze [OPTION...] [archive name]", which isn't bad, but sure does make it unnecessarily cumbersome to use, and also, the gui runs (blinks for a split section) for no clear reason. Now it would be silly to use command line squeeze over tar, but the man page for Squeeze begins with: "Squeeze - modern and advanced archive manager for Xfce".

I would like a gui archiver/extracter to use with Xfce4 without all the QA problems. Unless I'm doing something really wrong, this software doesn't seem to be ready for release at all, and the upstream version has not changed in a long time.

Software :: Video Capture With Debian ?

Mar 6, 2010

I am getting myself set up to create a series of Linux based how to videos, with the first being on building a Debian box for general web use and document creation, etc. on "recycled" hardware, starting at the very beginning, even going so far as to include how to download a netinstall iso and make it into a burnable CD.

So anyway, one very important ability I need for this project decent video capture capability. I need to be able to capture the output of the install into a proper video format, on which I can provide commentary about what is going on on the screen.

I have another Debian box that is equipped with a bt878 TV/Video capture card, and the box I am using for the Enlightenment project I posted about many times recently has a Geforce 5600FX. Last night, I ran a cable from the S-Video out on the GeForce to the composite in on the capture card (had to go composite since I don't have an S-Video cable long enough to cross the room... Cable used has an adapter to switch to a standard RCA cable.

So, after getting the two hooked up, I got XAWTV installed on the capture box, and rebooted the other computer. With XAWTV running, I was able to see the boot up process going through the capture card. So I think I am on the right track.

But (and isn't there always a big but?), the captured video leaves a lot to be desired. Here is what the final AVI file looks like: Warning. This is a big file

As you can see, the video quality is mighty poor. And it wasn't just the final video either. It looked this bad in XAWTV as well. So, is there any way to improve the video quality in XAWTV; and also, how about increasing the app's resolution since the tiny square of video is not easily readable, and I will need it to be legible on a full size display?

If XAWTV is unable to do this, then can anyone here recommend and alternate video capture app that would be up to the task at hand? Also would like an app that will actually save my settings, as XAWTV always reverts to whatever the default settings were when I shut it down and restart it.

In addition to improving the quality of the S-Video output, I also need some recommendations on how to reduce the filesize when capturing the video. The original, before Photobucket converted it to flv was an avi file over 10MB, which is really inefficient for my needs.

Finally, can anyone recommend a PCI video card that has S-Video output (must be a 4 pin S-Video connector), and has at least 8MB of video RAM? Or does some kind soul here have one lying about that they may be willing to part with inexpensively?

So, a summary of this post...

1: How do I get XAWTV to provide S-Video capture that is actually readable?

2: How do I get XAWTV to record in a higher resolution?

3: How do I get XAWTV to save my ******** settings?

4: If any of the above 3 are not possible, what are some other alternate video capture apps to try?

5: Hook me up with a 8MB or higher PCI video card that also does S-Video out? (4 pin S-Video connector is a must).
