Hardware :: Ubuntu Repeatedly Asks For Video Type
Feb 23, 2010
Every time I go to start up my system, it asks me for my video type and says the video type '31b' is not a recognized video type. Another important thing to note is that I just recently had to do a fsck after my system refused to boot out of nowhere. Most other things on the computer run fine except that Compiz or Emerald will crash slightly more often, but can be fixed by reloading the window manager. Compiz and Emerald did crash every so often before the fsck, so it is not that out of the ordinary.

Does this meet the required 4 ports mentioned for alike cameras in the forum posting. If not, I have one of these.. Is this what they are talking about. I have just started thinking about this again and am not sure if I'm asking the right question. I don't want to go buying a bunch of hardware I can not use. So I'm hoping to look to someone here who has some experience in live streaming audio / video to one of the distribution sites.

I am writting a script to allow uploading of certain files. I want to limit the files by their filename and mime type, and by making sure the two match up.The first thing I need to do is make sure I've got all the mime types I need added. I have never done this before, but I understand that 'file' (which is what PHP's mime-type finding is based off of) uses magic databases that tell at which point in the file should have signatures of the filetype.
My trouble started when I was unable to determine the filetype of any of my video files. Currently, I have some .MOV and .MP4 files that I am using to test.

I want to be able to play a video file on my pda(Tungsten T5) but from memory the only video file i have seen playable on it was the asf file that is used when it starts up/reboots. I tried other file types in the past that were suggested in maybe a manual or forum or something but they never worked/played. I think it is because of the player installed and i tried installing another player but from memory that didn't install properly or just did not play anything. So if anyone knows of a way to convert files maybe using winff or mencoder i would love that info. I have been googling and have found nothing specific to what i am asking. I do not see anything in winff to convert to asf and cannot remember ever using mencoder.

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

I'm a new Ubuntu user! I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10, straight from the homepage. All went fine, everything appears to be running smoothly.. but I can't get the wireless working! All it does is ask for the WPA/WPA2-Personal key repeatedly. I know I've got the code right, as I've typed it whilst "Show Characters" is on multiple times. Every time I enter it, the networking icon looks as though it's working, and then after a moment it'll ask me again.

Ever since installing Ubuntu 11.04, GDM/Unity has crashed and terminated every couple of times i use it. No record in dmesg, no idea how else to check up on it. Running kernel 2.6.38-9-generic.Occurs under normal use/load, never noticed a specific factor that causes it.

I keep getting "Starting File Manager" flashing on and off on the bottom tool bar in Ubuntu 10.04. The icons on my desktop keep blinking on and off and I can't access any folders! It happened after saving an SVG file to my desktop in Inkscape. Not sure that's anything to do with it. I rebooted twice and it is continuing to do the same thing.

I have already tried editing the file /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop And changing this line: Exec=/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -root To this: Exec=/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -root -duration 5 -pan 5 -fade 1
But it had no effect. Does anyone know any other way to prevent glslideshow from showing the same pictures repeatedly?

Im running Ubuntu 10.04 with the latest updates and im connecting from windows xp using tortisesvn.When I do svn+ssh//Connection_name/var/svn/repoI can connect just fine. The problem is that im asked 3 times for my password before the folder will display. I guessing its 3 times because the repo is 3 levels deep. In tortise if I click a folder to go another level deeper im asked for my password again. "Connection_name" is the name of the onnection profile I setup in Putty which is used by tortise via plink. I tried setting up a auth key but that didnt help either. If I use putty to open up the "connection_name" ssh connection, im only asked once for my password and can operate as normally expected.

I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu yesterday (10.04 LTS) for the first time and it worked like a treat, with the Internet conencting immediately without any problems. However, this morning I turned on my laptop and despite seemingly connecting to the network, Ubuntu won't conenct to the Internet. It is also repeatedly asking for me to re-input the WEP Key despite it being correct and always automatically inputted.

I recently installed Ubuntu (the full version). I liked Wubi a lot, but that's because I just had to press down and enter during startup. After uninstalling it, I went to the full version, but that's been giving me more trouble than Wubi, lol.
First, it replaced my Windows Boot Manager with GRUB (which IMO sucks because it takes like 15 seconds to load the menu and it lags when you want to press an arrow key). Second, it screwed up my Windows (the first time I started up Windows I got like 50 lines of errors and after that I had to do the disk check thing but now it works). I use Vista x32, and when I try to boot into Windows it gets to the (C)Microsoft with the green loading bars thing and after about 5-10 seconds my computer randomly (without warning, the screen just turns black) restarts. Goes back to the BIOS menu, a full restart.
My first priority is to get Windows fully running without restarts during boot time. Then I'd like to use Windows boot manager to start Ubuntu (I checked with EasyBCD, Ubuntu doesn't show in WBM.
Oh BTW, dual-booting ubuntu 10.04 and WinVista SP2.

I did a clean install of 10.10 just under a week ago and something is really wrong with my wired connection. I keep loosing all connectivity and have to connect again from the panel app. After that, every thing works again for about 30 to 60 seconds and the the connection goes again. No lost connection notification pop up or anything like that, but i cannot browse the web or download upgrades while the connection is gone.
Then the really weird part. Sometimes my connection works just fine. On some boots everything is fine for a long time (hours?) but then the problem comes back. My network card is an Intel 82567LF-2 and it uses the e1000e kernel module. I dual boot to Windows Server 2008 R2 and there I have full connectivity all the time.

A user from our domain sent an email with big attachments to a recepient of other domain, and the same email was sent several times to the receiver.
I checked the df and qf file on our sendmail server, in /var/spool/mqueue and found following:
qfo5SHgJqX006403:Mreply: read error from remote-host.somedomain.com.
qfo5SHgJqX006403:MDeferred: Connection timed out with remote-host.somedomain.com.
I deleted all qf and df files for this particular mail. So deleting the df and qf file has stopped sending mails repeatedly to the receiver.
Is this problem at our end or the receipient end? Why is the same mail sent several times to the receiver?

I installed Ubuntu on an old desktop last night and am having some problems with my wireless connection.I've searched around a bit and tried a few solutions but nothing seems to be working so hopefully someone can help. I'm using a Netgear WG111v3 wireless USB adapter and am attempting to connect to a Sky Broadband modem, the connection shows up in the list of avaliable networks after clicking on the network symbol and after attempting to connect for a while it then asks for the WPA password.
I enter the password and then this repeats over and over again continuously asking for the password and me continuously entering it. I know the password is correct as I'm using it on my laptop and other home computer right now.I've tried connecting to a hidden wireless network and inserting the network name and password as some have suggested and I've also tried adding the details from my router into the connection; so that I have manually entered the information rather than automatically finding it, this also hasn't worked.I should probably add that earlier today I seemingly randomly got connected and then managed to run some updates but since then it has disconnected and the same problem is repeating over and over. Sorry if thats quite a long explanation but I thought I'd try and make it as clear as possible,

I need to play a info movie on a monitor through VGA. When done, then re-start the movie and continue to run it, forever. How do i do this? If I install a ubuntu 10.04 server, or a very stripped down ubuntu version (i dont know one) then how do I setup VLC to do what I want it to? All I can find is stuff about streaming over a network, and nothing on how to stream (local) over vga.

I have a problem with my 10.10 32bit installation. The shut down window repeated appears within a few seconds of use, and this is not user-invoked. The shut down screen just pops up within a few seconds after logging in. It even occurs at the login screen. Once it appears, it'll repeatedly close & reopen. I tried using 10.04 bit (which I normally use on my other computers), and have the same results. This is a new computer that I just bought

I've already ran a memory test, and it's totally ok.Here's a video clip of what I am experiencing on my screen.

I'm running a Latitude E4300 with the Intel 4500HD integrated graphics. Lately, the display has started to flash on and off several times an hour. Usually all I have to do is move the mouse or hit a key, and the display comes back (the back light is on when this happens).
Once and awhile, my monitor goes into standby when this happens, but if I turn the LCD (a Dell 2007FP) off and back on, the display is back. This happens when using the internal LCD at 1280x800 or my external monitor hooked up via E-Dock.
I've tried a couple different monitors, and they all work fine. I have another hard drive for this machine that I have Windows 7 loaded on, and it works for hours and hours without exhibiting any video related errors.

My wireless connection ran without issue when I ran Ubuntu 9.x on a windows dual boot loader. Liking Ubuntu, I wiped the system and installed a 10.10 with no dual boot. After the upgrade, my wireless connection is no longer reliable.
Wireless seems to stay connected when traffic volumes are low. As soon as any significant traffic is generated such as a download, torrent or video stream, the network disconnects. Disabling and re-enabling the connection at the GUI recovers the connection. Disconnect can be generated on demand.
If I can somehow roll back to the 9.x network setup I was running. Unclear to me (n00b) if the windows dual boot was impacting that setup or not.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 because I was facing internet problems with previous Ubuntu 9.04 after I upgraded it with downloaded software. And now, 10.10 connects to wireless, but shows web-page some-times and repeatedly disconnects. Earlier it wasn't reaching Internet at all. Some of the topics here helped a lot. But this intermittent internet seems not going anywhere. Wired Internet connects easily though.
I've tried :-
-disabling ipv6..... first in Firefox, then in Kernel also
-Setting DNS.....System> Preferences> Network Connections
-setting static Ip
The system still gives trouble.
My system is Asus UL20A.
Wireless:-Atheros AR9285

I am trying to run my code repeatedly in a loop about 50 times for timing measurement. I have C code running on ubuntu 8 on a single processor, Intel x86. My code is something like this
Code:
for (loop =0;loop<=50;loop++)
{
// other operations
pDir = opendir("/proc");
while (pDir == NULL)
[Code]...
After about 28-29 times the loop stops executing. I initially had a return -1 if I got pDir == NULL. That caused my program to exit, and I dont want that. Any clues on why this happens, and how I can circumvent this?

I believe I'm running Kubuntu 10.04, but don't quote me on that. Here's the version string from dmesg. Linux version 2.6.32-31-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 22:15:39 UTC 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.32-31.60-generic 2.6.32.32+drm33.14 I have an emergent problem with my wired ethernet resetting the connection on a frequent basis. When it resets it re-negotiates the link speed and I often end up with a 10Mb/s link and on some occasions a 100Mb/s. The configured speed for the link is 1000Mb/s full duplex using a preup ethtool command. I do not use NetworkManager but have the interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
