Debian Multimedia :: Restarting KDE Break A Simple Script
Aug 21, 2011
Just need some quick direction with this, as I have no idea where to begin:I run irssi in screen, and have a simple script that uses notify-send when I am private messaged/hilighted/etc. It works fine, and makes KDE pop up notifications like any other stuff does. However, if I restart KDE with /etc/init.d/kdm restart, the script fails with (every time it is triggered):
Restarting irssi doesn't fix this, the entire screen session has to be dismantled. Is there a way to fix this, or at least a place to start? It's a perl script, but I have no idea where to begin. I guess on a high level, some sort of ID is changing, but is still referenced by screen?

I upgraded some libraries, restarted Debian stable (Jessie)'s kdm.service, but stuck in black console with no X. "startx" fails to launch it. How do I relaunch KDM without rebooting my old desktop computer?

Currently using Nvidia driver version 195.36.31, it's the version that works with Nvidia-kernel-dkms, would updating Nvidia driver to the current 275.09.07 driver version break my setup?

I had a hard time finding out how to change -- get to-- the simple scan preferences. There is no batten on the screen to open preferences window. I found two way to change the preferences on simple scan.
1. Easy way:
I found that when you run a program in gnome an icon of that application appears on top bar. If you click on that icon a window will appear and one of the items on that window is preferences, by clicking on that you could open preferences window, and change your preferences.
2. Hard way:
Go to applications and open dconf Editor
then go to org section click on it
then go to gnome section click on it
then go to Simple-Scan click on it
now you can change things

I want to set the login to the old default of having to enter a username,password. I've tried to use the configuration editor to achieve this and have ticked the "disable-user-list" option under /apps/gdm/simple-greeter but it makes no difference, the greeter still starts with a user list. It appears that the default valuef TRUE for this function is overriding my choice, but I'm notre why. My next step appears to be to edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults to change the default value. I haven't actually tried that yet so not sure if it would work but, even if it does, it doesn't seem a very elegant way of setting this up. Is there some simple way of changing the behaviour back to asking for username first?
I seem to remember the whole login process as being more configurable than it is now, with options to choose backgrounds, allow root accest finystem->administration->login_screen only gives a choice between selecting a user or automatic login of a particular user, with no further options available.On a general note, would the old method not be a more secure default than presenting an unauthorised user with a list of login id's to be tried?

I have used Thoggen; however, there is no way to break the output in to multiple files. I encoded at 1000MB, but now I want to break the file into 40MB chunks. Is there an app that can do this? Does ffmpeg support these feature?

I do not know which is the right way/proper way to restart an X server. The Debian shows tells the following :- [url]
There is another one which I know of :-
Now does the wiki page have that obsolete bit of code or is that one much more better/preferred.

If I install a totally different Linux distro on my existing Ubuntu 9.10 system, will it break GRUB 2? I was thinking of installing Debian Lenny, but have held off because I do not want to inadvertently wreck the boot arrangement.
I've previously installed Windows after installing Kubuntu, and had to reinstall GRUB as the bootloader as a result. It wasn't a big deal with the old GRUB, but I don't know if it's that easy with GRUB 2.
I am not sure what bootloader Debian Lenny uses. I've been looking but haven't found the answer yet. I guess if it also uses Grub 2, I wouldn't have to fix anything.
I want to try out Lenny because an app I want to use (Teamspeak 3) doesn't play nicely with Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio is integral to Ubuntu 9.10, but I have other options with Debian Lenny. I'd like to see whether the app works better there w/LXDE.
I guess I could also just make a virtual Lenny machine in Virtualbox, but I wouldn't get full use of my hardware, so I wouldn't be able to play Urban Terror (which is why I want to use Teamspeak 3).

whose still learning the ropes, I've installed a new printer on my Debian (2.26 version, unstable, tho' duly updated ) - a HP Photosmart C4600 ,through CUPS and all [b]seemed[/b] well ... applied /etc/init.d/cups restart.Result: it appears to oblige for a moment then straight back to 'STOP' mode so that I can't even get a test page printed.I'm at a loss to know what the issue might be, except if the message coming up on the CUPS admin page - "Filter "foomatic-rip-hplip" for printer "Printer" not available is of any pertinence: I've tried getting/installing/enabling such but -no joy.s

I wanted to know if there was a simple command for the default sound in ubuntu. An example would be typing volume = 42 into the terminal or something. I'm not looking for alsamixer or anything like that, but maybe thats the only option.

I like to rip DVDs to iso before taking my laptop on long bus/train rides and am at a complete loss as to why I can no longer rip.
First, dvd::rip failed. Then `dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso` failed. Then right clicking the cd icon on desktop and clicking copy (via brasero) failed. Each of the above worked at some point, and now all are giving me an i/o error like:

Have also tried /dev/dvd to no avail.

I need to add arrows, text, geometric shapes, etc. to graphical charts. Gimp doesn't have any way to easily add arrows (that I know of) -it's way sophisticated compared to what I need.Back in the MS Windows world I used to use Snagit Studio. I could probably run that in Wine but I'd prefer something native.

Sick and tired of sluggish performance using the onboard X1200 graphics so I just ordered a cheap GeForce 8400 with 256MB DDR2 memory. If I simply disable the on board graphics then plug the GeForce card in, will I have to re-install Ubuntu or will the system be clever enough to detect and configure the card for me?

I been struggling with this since Karmic and I know others have as well. This is really the only thing making me keep a Windows install around for my personal stuff.
Problem: Convert .TS files to iPod or really any smaller format keeping A/V sync after edit. I can covert my .TS file perfectly if I do not edit it but I want to just do a simple, quick trim of 2 mins from beginning and end.
HandBrake with convert the file perfectly but cannot trim. Avidemux does a great job on the video but I always have to play with the audio shift to get it in sync. It is usually betwenn -250ms to -1000ms off but I cannot count on it. If I run the video through DGIndex in Wine or view it with Mediainfo both programs detect the an offset problem but they are always wrong by almost 500ms and it is never constant.
Regular video editing I have pretty good luck with my normal DV files and I could even run the .TS files through other programs but it is too time consuming to be useful form this simple task. Anytime I want to take my recorded TV .TS files I cannot edit them quickly without making a full project out of it in Openshot Cinelerra, etc.
Has anyone found a quick, reliable way to do some lite video trimming in Ubuntu and keep A/V sync without having to resort to any Windows programs?
EDIT: Also I really do not want to resort to have to demux separately either. I know I am asking a lot but I got spoiled with a couple of Windows programs that will edit without reencode programs like VideoReDo can do the editing and converting all at once (for $100 !).

I was wondering if there is anyway to adjust scanner settings less not plugging in a scanner with using Simple Scan?I recently found out (sadly) that I could change the DPI settings for document and picture scans when my USB wasn't getting the scanner.Gave a prompt notification bar above and asked me to select scanner (which I replugged it in) and was able to do the settings.Is there a shortcut or command I can use to trigger this any time I need to?

I've decided to try and setup a simple home server with Debian. I can either install the OS on a compact flash card and use hard disks as storage, or just install everything on the hard disk. I'd also like to set up a software raid for mirroring. I've never done this before, and most recently updated documentation i've found is for ubuntu. Any advice or good links someone can point me to on how to set up raid? I'd like to encrypt my hard disks but I don't know what my options are. It seems like people point to truecrypt, but i'm wondering what else is out there or if people have any advice on this. Would it be feasible to do this if I install the OS on a compact flash card and?

I am looking for a simple tool that would allow me to stitch together short mpeg files or to cut out unwanted sequences of files, without having to use a heavy video editing programme like OpenShot.
If it can do the same for audio files (mp3) and possibly convert between formats, even better !

Stupid browser froze up when I tried to submit this before... *sigh* Anyway, is there a simple midi editor that that isn't Rosegarden and doesn't require JACK? Something would simply let me load a Soundfont, and then edit and export a multi-track midi file without a bunch of other stuff you have to do?

I'm buying this unit from deal extreme: it's a bitorrent downloader, with NAS capability. I'm interested in sharing an external HD in it, with media and backup purposes. I'm afraid of energy problems (don't know if this is the correct term), corrupting my mounted drives (like after a storm), so I thought about buying an UPS that sends a "signal" to my Linux box, and a script in my Linux box would unmout everything to avoid problems.Do this "UPS signal" feature exists? Do you have model suggestions?
