Debian Multimedia :: Using Sid Cannot Send/recive Files?
Jun 7, 2010
Im using sid, have installed gnome-bluetooth but cannot send/receive, browse files on any device. It says that my "personal file sharing" program might not be installed but i have no idea what exact package is it
Evolution keeps crashing everytime I send mail. I am also constantly asked for my keyring or email passwords. I checked the log and found this error message.
This message was in a bug report from 2013 that seems to be closed.: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=730256
My system : Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u2 (2015-07-17)
synaptic package manager says my evolution and keyring are the latest.
Evolution Mail 2.22.3.1 - Debian Lenny 5.0.4I configured Evolution in my gmail account. I can send successfully emails to users but I cannot receive any emails
Let's say there are machines A and B. user1 is on machine A, and has access to machine B through ssh (also as user1). user2 is sitting at machine B (let's say in Gnome session). And user1 has sudo access on machine B. How can user1 send a message to user2 (so it should appear on user2's desktop) with notify-send? code...
This doesn't work. I get in result: (notify-send:28676): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed What else should be done to make it work? (trying it on current Debian testing).
I'm wondering if somebody knows how to add more locations to "Send to", or "Move to" menu. Now there is only Desktop and Home folder. I know there is this nautilus actions configurator app, but with it, I'm able to add to main context menu, not to "Copy|Move to" submenu.
I'm trying to get some insight on how to move forward. I have a bit of a problem. I am just starting out in unbuntu and I have no experience working with 2 os on my computer (coming from windows). I have a lot of files (music, pictures, movies) in windows, but I want to use them on unbuntu. Is there a way for me to have both os access those files, or better yet, is there a way to send all my files to unbuntu, so I can start deleting all my stuff in windows?At the moment, I'm planning to burn all my files to dvds (in windows), then just drop them off in unbuntu, but I'd love it if there was a way which didn't involve me burning tons of dvds...Oh yea, and programs too... can I transfer them, or do I need to just reinstall them on unbuntu (like stepmania, guildwars, dvd shrink, kmplayer, etc
I have a new smartphone with Cyanogenmod 12 (based on Android 5) and a new ext SD card in the phone which has been formatted. I turned on "USB debugging" in Android and connected the phone to Debian KDE with a USB cable. The phone shows up and mounts, and I can browse the files in Dolphin and copy from the phone to the desktop, but I can't copy from desktop to phone or modify the contents, even on the ext SD card. In Dolphin I always get the same error message, "writing to camera is not supported", even though I mounted the device as MTP* (not PTP) and even though I'm trying to write to the ext SD card which is not even where the phone camera stores things.
I chose to mount as MTP within Android. I don't know if I also need choose an MTP option within KDE somehow, or how to do that.
On my new 32-bit dell-vostro-1014 with debian-lenny OS I have installed via apt-get both smplayer and vlc-mediaplayer and have ripped the movie dvds by k3b and kept them as .avi files. While smplayer can play them, vlc-mediaplayer does not show the picture, only the voices are played. If I play the dvd from the optical tray then vlc poses no problem. Is it an inherent defect of the vlc package? If not what's the remedy?
I have just installed Debian 6.0.2.1 X86_64. I have enabled the Debian-Multimedia repository, and I have installed gstreamer base, good, bad and ugly plugins, and w64codecs too. Now I want to play MOV files using totem, it says it needs "MPEG-4 Video decoder" to play the file. When I press search, it finds no results. what other packages do I need to play MOV files?
I typically use rm to delete files, but they don't end up in my trash folder in case I want to recover them. How do I make that happen and how do I access my trash folder via terminal? Doing me best to work from terminal rather than GUI and this one has me stumped. I am using Mint Julia.
I use in Ubuntu proftpd to send files with a little script over the internet to my website. If I write all these scripts it's a lot of work and my first question is what is the best way to send files over.
For example do you need to type: put /directory/file.gz /www/file.gz ? or can it shorter? like put /directory/file.gz /www/ because then ftp complains it can't create file
I was wondering what the reason was for disabling a feature like - creating new documents and files on desktop - by default?
If someone installs debian with desktop environment this user probably also want to use the desktop as a workplace, so why is that not a default setting?
But also in general i dont get it, i dont see any reason, why this is disabled.
When I try to play any music or movie file over my network....VLC or any other player gives me errors. I don't have any problems when I copy movie files directly to my hard drive from my network. This is on Debian 8 if that information is of any relevance here...
Here is the error I am faced with...
Code: Select allYour input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://gfstorage01/wolf/Torent%20Downloads/Olympus%20Has%20Fallen%20(2013)%20%5B1080p%5D/Olympus.Has.Fallen.2013.1080p.BluRay.x264.YIFY.mp4'. Check the log for details.
I have several lectures from a class that were distributed as .pps files. When I try to open them with Impress, the slide show immediately starts playing. When the end of the slide show is reached, Impress closes. So, I have no way of looking at these slide shows in the editing window (which is what I need to do). I have tried opening these presentations both from the command line, and by starting Impress then selecting File > Open.
Once the presentation starts, I can switch to the editing window, but essentially all buttons and menu items are "grayed out": [URL] I can't even save the presentation as a native OOffice type.
If i got gnome i may go to the top-panel: choose system, choose preferences and go to "remote desktop" and make my settings (allow, ask for allow, password, and other stuff). I don't want to be bound to gnome (though i like it, thats not the problem).Which config-files are the ones i am looking for?
I did search the web, but i can't find useful how-to's, explanations, etc.Cause what i find is related to the path i described above (gnome: top-panel, preferences...)Which is the app/tool which pops up and says:"someone wants to access, you want to allow it, yes or no?". The performance of VNC is lousy comopared to NX. Lousy is the friendly version. What might i be doing wrong?i usually do it from a Debian-host to a VirtualBox-guest.I am mainly asking for how-to's/docus and stuff like that. Links. Explanations are welcome too. Of course.
Some PDF files have a functionality that text and amounts can be filled in some parts of the file, after which it can be printed (most of the times NOT saved). Our tax authorities have these files as well, you can download them, fill in text and amounts, it even counts it for you, and you can print and send.
Unfortunately, I can't use that functionality in Evince (running Squeeze). I tried this with Adobe (also in Squeeze) and it didn't work either. In Win it does work, but of course I would like Debian to be "allround" Can it be that some application must be installed to use this function?
I'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, and would like to access files from a shared network drive from a Windows machine. I can see the files in Nautilus from "Network Servers" and drilling down to the right directory, I can open the files no problem, but I can't get k3b to recognise them.
Firstly I can't navigate to the network drive from the file tree on the left in K3b.
If I drag and drop the files from Nautilus into k3b, it says "Problems while adding files to the project: No non-local files supported".
If I use Project -> Add Files I can then get to the network drives, but when I select and add the files it says "Remote files not accepted - You can only select local files".
In the end I had to copy all the files using Nautilus from the network share onto a USB stick, burn the DVD and then delete the files again. (I used the USB stick just to see if that counted as more "local" than a network share). Was there an easier / more efficient way to do this that I missed?
I just installed gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer on Debian Squeeze (after removing Parole and its browser plugin). Now when I right-click on a file in Thunar, the menu instantly vanishes unless I hold the right mouse button down. The menu works fine, but having to hold the button down is mildly annoying.
The funny thing is, right-clicking on the background in Thunar works exactly as expected; I never have to hold down the button. And this is definitely not a mouse problem, because I can observe the exact same behavior with any mouse or touchpad.
Update: switching to a different GTK theme seems to have fixed it.
What program can make audio CDs out of MP3 files? In Gnome.
A friend sent me a zip file of mp3s for an out-of-print cassette tape that I was trying to get for my husband to give him for his birthday and I'd like to be able to make a CD.
I can't send or receive any files with the Empathy Messenger in F12, using the MSN Protocol.The Menu Entry "Send File" in Active Chat remains grey.When my Friends send me files they ask me to accept the Download but I see nothing.
+ I had struggled with getting it to work on 11.3, KDE 4.4. Brought in the KDE 4.5 repos and did zypper dup with fabulous success. Bluedevil 1.0-2.9 was a charm.
+ We're only days away from 11.4, and that was so painless I figured I'd go ahead and upgrade to 11.4. After hours of RTFM on zypper I got all the 11.4 repos (all I could find) and did zypper dup again.
+ Smooth, painless. Geen probleme.
+ Except: - the upgrade also upgraded bluedevil to 1.0-3.8.1. I've tried rolling back but the problems remain.
+ The problems are: - I cannot send files from the PC to the phone, although I can send files from the phone to the PC.
- The PC prompts are very short-lived and are obscured by the taskbar unless you are primed for them to bring up the notification manager instantly, so pairing from the phone to the PC is difficult
-I cannot browse the phone despite the app suggesting I can. I also had to manually install a directory (/home/$user/$phone_name) to avoid an error message. Presumably the app tries to mount the phone to this directory, but it does not succeed.
+ I do think I have all the necessary devel files, but would love to do a file list comparison with someone who has this working on OS 11.4/KDE 4.5.5 Yes, I know this is beta so don't abuse me, I'm more than willing to do trials and submit explicit data as I have here. But I also would like to get it to work. I had it working on 11.3 / KDE 4.5.5. FWIW, pretty much everything else works flawlessly on OS 11.4. Firefox 4 beta has a few problems, but that is not an OS 11.4 issue...
I am having an problem with bluetooth. Computer seems to find my mobile phone, I can send files from PC to my phone, but not vice versa. As I try to send, it pops "Failed" (in phone) and nothing happens. Kubuntu 10.04 Windows mobile 6 (HTC p3450).
