Fedora Installation :: Make A Simple Avi File Play?
Sep 21, 2009
I try to play a simple movie in avi format. The codec is called AC-3. I tried several tutorials, now i stuck with a "local file conflict between packages" when i run the auto install with movie player. I try now VLC Player ... With VLC it works! Open from the Administrator panel - Add or Remove Software than search for VLC and tick the main stuff and install.
make a start up script so that it executes this command: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state I managed to execute it writing command to .bashrc, but every time I open terminal it starts like this:
[Code].....
I need this command on start up, so that my battery meter starts working properly. For some reason, if the command is not activated, gnome battery meter is showing that battery is charging even if I am not on AC power. If there is any other way to fix this without making script I would be glad to hear.
I'm using Fedora 13 and think this behavior comes from Pulseaudio. To make it simple, all my sounds are played in my GNOME session. What's making sense because it's where Pulseaudio is launched. So, when I switch VT (CTRL+ALT+Fx), all sounds from my GNOME session is muted. What's not the actual problem. It's in fact a good behavior. The problem is I use some VirtualBox virtual machines on other VT launched with the xinit command.
These VMs emit sounds but I'm not able to hear them because I'm not on the VT of my GNOME session. But once I get back on my GNOME session I can hear all sound from the VMs. What I want, it's to be able to hear all sounds played by the VT on which I currently am and not everything and only in my GNOME session. How I can accomplish that?
I made a video with PiTiVi and rendered it in quicktime format and then went and played it on a Mac and the color was all green and really messed up. I rendered the same video in asf format and went and played it on a Windows computer at it was the same way.
I'm trying out 10.04 LTS 64-bit from the live CD and when I try to play a MP3 or WAV file it gets the usual Search for suitable plugin? "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported." Error message so I click Search and it comes up with the error No packages with the requested plugins found.
Is this because it is in Live Mode and installing 10.04 to my hard drive will fix it or does Ubuntu no longer support audio files other then ogg and other open source audio / video file formats due to copyright problems?
When configuring a custom kernel using fedoraproject.org instructions, the make menuconfig options for LIRC are not in the .config file anywhere. I checked the kernel tree and all the files are there in the .../drivers/input/lirc subdirectory (I need the lirc_dev and lirc_i2c drivers). I reset the .config to its original settings to make sure I didn't mess up. I also grep'ed the .config file for any LIRC related settings, none found. Also I'm not getting any sound from the radio-aztech driver.
I`m using Fedora 11. I just bought a Creative Audigy Soundblaster sound card. It is recognized by the system, but I can`t make it play sound on all channels in xmms or mplayer. The alsa test confirms that all channels are working - I can hear sound from all of them. I have read several posts in other forums about modifying my ./asoundrc, but they just don`t seem to work.
I downloaded the xvid codec from: PackMan:: Informationen zum Paket xvidcore, and the install was successful.I'm trying to play an xvid file, and Kaffeine is saying it cannot play all file formats, would I like to install additional support. When I click yes, it asks me for additional repositories.
I recently upgraded from fc8. I am running two nvidia NVS 285 cards with four monitors and using nvidia driver 190.53-pkg1. I have one card up and running and can edit the config file and make to other two work I just can't get all four to work together.
The problem Im facing is that I cant seem to intercept the data going between the client and the server. I want to be able to have the data coming to the server in a variable, manipulate it and send it to the client, and the other way, have the data coming to the client in a variable, manipulate it and send it to the server.
Im running on an embedded device where tee, awk and many other commands are absent. how can I redirect the data to a variable, manipulate it and pass it to the other side, that is the question.
I'm trying to make an extremely simple script named 'findm' in my /usr/local/bin that looks like this:
Code: #!/bin/bash find -mindepth 1 -iname '*$1*'
As you can see, I want to be able to run 'findm some_argument' while in a shell in any directory. The problem I'm having is that this script only works when I'm in my top most home directory. Any directory lower than that and the script returns no results.
First off, I'm completely new to bash scripting so forgive me if I make any egregious errors. I'm trying to make pop-up reminders for the simple calendar program when. This is what I have so far:
Code: #!/bin/bash # set the time format for when #current="$(date +%I:%M %p)" current="$(date +%-l%p)" today=~/.when/today
[Code]....
When I run the script, gxmessage pops up and displays the correct information, but it does so for each line in "~/.when/today" that contains a time that matches the current system time (which would be three pop-ups at 10PM, according to the example). I want it to display the information only once. How can this be accomplished? Is a while loop even the right job for this?
When I try to play any type of media file, It plays but can't fast forward or rewind plus there's no sound. I.e Avi , Mpg , Flash or anything, I can't even download the bad plugins because it says that there's a conflic with another repo that I've got installed. the only repos that I've got installed are the Main fedora one's , RPM fusion & adobe, so how do I installed the codecs to play anything proper on Fedora 11 cheers
I would like to unzip a simple PHP code files, to have a online PHP contact / phone book. Simply, slow, and not database oriented over complicated setups into settings. I have a PHP / web provider (free), not apache. WITHOUT SQL (like before it may exists) something like this [URL]
You may know the Humble Indie Pack 2, which is a set of crossplatform indie video games. There's one game in the bundle that doesn't offer a 64bit build and therefore it fails to load. It's called Braid and that's what you get when you try to run it: $ ./braid ./braid: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Of course the 64bit libs for OpenGL and the propitiatory nvidia drivers are installed, but the game asks for the 32bit ones, at least to my understanding. I do know that why can install 32bit libraries on a 64 bit linux system (we do that for the sake of crappy Adobe Flash), but I don't know where to find these libs (searching the repo with keywords like .i586 or ia32 led me nowhere).

I wanted to use cron to play a media file at a certain time (i.e. use it as an alarm clock). However it seems to do nothing. The contents of my crontab is:
I have installed real player 64 bit version from here . The player was installed properly but its not playng .rm files. Real player window appears but does not play file.
i'm a college student studying pc programing, and i was given today a special work and i have to program using miranda... which i've never used it >.< can anyone give me a hand to where to download, how to compile, and a simple tutorial for making a simple program or something?
have a built piece of software that I wrote with a whopping 3 files included total.Iwant to package this inside an rpm. I don't need complex stuff like postinstall scripts, dependencies, subpackages, or any of that stuff. I just want a simple rpm with the 3 files, a package identifier, and a summary. I am not planning on posting this rpm on a repo such as fedora or rpmfusion.
