OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Unable To Manipulate The Seek Bar And Skip To&fro
Apr 2, 2011
When playing a song, I am unable to manipulate the seek bar and skip to&fro, it's seems absolutely except for the fact the cursors (if that's the right word for it) glows, and it says "Jump to XXX" but it does nothing. This pretty much happens on any and every song, however if I play another track come back it may or may not work. Sometimes it works fine (usually not), but it'll freeze again after the track changes.
Whatever i try to play a .avi or play a Flash movie the movie does that... by the way the sound does the same thing. Followed the Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide Used the MMCHECK - Check Your Multimedia in 10 Steps - Script File, as proposed by RedDwarf and Googled and found this: [URL] but it does not help me because I already run opensuse 11.3 with a 2.6.34-12 kernel My Laptop with the Problem:

Whenever i execute command fdisk /dev/loop0 < file1 (file1 contains the commands used for fdisk),I get an error saying "unable to seek on /dev/loop0".The last line of file1 contains w in order to write the partition table back to the disc. How should I exit the command prompt safely (after saving all the settings) Below are the contents of the file
I'm trying to troubleshoot a block seek error with a particular DVD (most DVDs work with my computer, just a random few that fail). The failure is (I presume) caused by incorrect information on the DVD itself to try to fool unlicensed players. I get a libdvdread error "Can't seek to block ...". I have traced this error message to three sources in dvd_reader.c. I have modified the error message so that it also prints the file name and the line, but I am having such a hell of a time trying to compile libdvdread. I have installed libdvdcss2-dev, and most of the other obvious development packages. However, the instructions for compiling lindvdread make no sense (I am assuming they want me to run the 'configure2' script here) and it is throwing up all kind of weird compiler errors. This can obviously be compiled somewhere for a binary package to exist. How this is done?
I recently bought an ASUS nettop that is supposedly able to play HD movies, but after installing Lucid and the proprietary drivers, HD movies (720p) are as jumpy as they are on my old non-HD PC. How can I figure out if there's some sort of problem preventing HD movies from playing at full resolution?
When i install openSUSE 11.3, reboot the system, and then yast stay in automatic configuration. It take a long time to download some packages, and it seems that it has no response already. How would i skip this step?
I just upgraded two 11.2 installations. One I easily managed from the dvd the other I had to install anew as the cd didn't offer the possibility of upgrading. While I appreciated the many improvements in desktop stability I found I am non very satisfied of the installer.
It became minimal and just does what IT wants and not what I want anymore. I miss the possibility of choosing desktops, programmes and settings during installation. Most of all I miss the possibility of choosing the bootloader and its location. I have a multi boot multi disk machine and I prefer to modify entries by hand so i never install the loader but add the new entry in the grub but this was not possible and it made just a mess erasing completely all other entries....
Booting has always been a great problem for one of my machines and I'm not going to upgrade it if thisi is the result. Is there a way of going back to the old options (no loader?) Why are the new installer always "easier" but less flexible for a user who's not geek but not even a newbie? Why does it have always to be more "Windows like"
actually some my windows ntfs partiitions are unable to mount at start up. the error msg is -'some of your partitions are unable to mount press 's' to skip or 'm' to manually mount.
I have an HP dv7-1285dx. First, I attempted to install openSuse 11.2 KDE via the live disk. A small ways through the installation, I was told that the image could not be properly copied to the disk. Then, I attempted to do it via the standard DVD, and a small ways through the installation I kept receiving errors saying that the packages could not be found, and gives me the option to skip. I can't install unless I skip all 600-something of them.
I just fired up Rhythmbox and threw all my MP3s into it.. but whilst it plays files, the slider bar just refuses to move, so there is no way to seek through an mp3.
How can I fix this? It's kinda useless without seeking for me.. all those long mixes.
Several times and several machines the debian installer complained that it cannot find the DVD-ISO image when my installation via usb and hdd ways)(i.e. Have the installer to seek iso image in usb flash or from hard disk). How does the installer seek the ISO? I'd like to know why sometimes it would fail to find that one(but they do exist) and sometimes the installer find it perfectly. Currently I am not able to read the source code of the installer.
Im running Fedora 11 x86_64. I enabled the rpmfusion repositories (free & non-free) and opened an MP3. The codecs installed correctly, but when I play them in either rhythmnox or totem, it plays but there are issues. Oddly, it depends on whether I ripped the mp3 myself (on Fedora 10, 196kbps CBR) or bought (play.com, 320kbps CBR).For the bought mp3s, the track length is displayed and the progress bar fills as the song progresses, but I cant skip to another part of the song. For the ripped mp3s, the player thinks it is streaming (track length unknown).
I thought it might be due to using ext4, but this happens even if i play them off an ext3 partition. The mp3s themselves are fine - they play perfectly in Ubuntu and WIndows.
What we want to do: be able to see the contents of an iso image (what files exist in the iso image) as well as being able to add data to the iso file or remove them.In order to be able to see the contents of an iso image we have to follow a process similar of that like mounting a device. In order to do so let us assume that we have the file: example.iso, under /home folder.In order to do so, we have to install the program isomaster (go to synaptic package manager and type isomaster and the program will be displayed) and then open it (via applications->sound&video). Then, browse to where the iso image exists and with the options: remove, extract, e.t.c. do the necessary steps you want. In order to save this "new" iso image with the additions you have made, you have to save it as an iso file. Go to file, save as and your new iso file is ready to be burned.
I have been using sed to manipulate a csv file but I have one problem that I can't solve. The csv file has many line and many columns. If in a particular line column 2 has a certain value I want to replace that value with the value in column 5 in the same line.
i have a .pdf that i scanned in at kinko's today. unfortunately one of the pages was scanned upside down.is there a way for me to correct this in linux such that i can just open the .pdf select the page and rotate it until it is right-side up?
I like to autohide my panel. But for some reason, it won't show unless I mouse over one of the bottom corners of the screen. The whole bottom edge where the panel hides should summon it if I mouse over, and I have been able to do this before, but now, after a system update, it only appears when I mouse over those bottom two corners. Does anyone else get this, or know how to fix it?
Using Ubuntu 11.04, Totem (the default media player) is not able to seek (read: to forward or go back in time) whenever the file is read from a mounted ISO archive.
Whenever I extract individual media files from such an archive, the seek bar at the bottom works as it should. Thus, it can be ascertained that it is not the media files that are the source of the problem, here.
the seek button in all videos played (including videos videos as well as video playback from files stored on disk) oesn't work.tried removing/installing totem, with gstreamer/xine and the problem still persists.also, videos streamed become blank, that is, they cease to display halfway through playback.the seek feature on all playable videos doesn't work.
My latest rpm package building project is a ham radio program called rmsgw. The source code tarball is a "make" and "make install" affair. It's Debian style Linux format fails badly on a Fedora install, so some tweaking of a configuration file is needed.I presume sed is the right tool for this job. I have no experience with sed and I don't want to spend a week or more in 'info sed' and doing endless trial and error if I can avoid it. I need to change one line in a text file named rmsgw.mk with a command(s) in the spec file.The original line:
Code: PKG_LIBS := -lwl2k -lrms -lmysqlclient -lxml2 The line as it needs to be for 'make' to succeed to build the binaries:
i'm unable to see some musicvideos on videos in germany trough copyright restrictions. i can see these videos by using a tunnelservice, but it isn't very comfortable. in that case, i have to copy the url and paste it at the end of the tunnelservice url. a lot of stupid work.
my problem is, that i haven't enough experience to automate these actions.
i think, that i have to modify the url befor it goes to the server. there must be somewhere in the osi stack a place where i simply can modify that url with a regex but i don't know where
Some times I boot up, and udev has labelled what is usually eth0 as eth1. Of course, my rc.inet1.conf is configured for seeing internet at eth0, so no connection, quite obviously. Then I reboot and the device label is back to "eth0". Actually I'm still not able to get connected, even at eth0, despite my nameservers being OK, and the default route gateway being all OK. PS. I have a static ip address.
I own Fedora Core 12 and an HP scanner. I want to make digital copies of all the pictures I took a few years ago. I have a lot so I tried scanning five at a time thinking I could cut and paste into smaller images like with MS Paint on Windows. HPLIP 3.9.12 wouldn't let me modify the scans so I tried GIMP 2.6.10. GIMP 2.6.10 is a nightmare! When I opened my scan of five pictures I had trouble opening a new image. Then I had to specify the size of the new image. The when I cut and pasted I couldn't rotate. Then when I figured out how to rotate my image was too small.
Then I tried scanning just one picture but HPLIP left a lot of blank space. I tried cropping out the blank space with GIMP but the image size was the same with the blank space. I don't want to post photos to Flickr that are mostly empty space.I wish I could show you examples but the forum won't let me post them.Any ideas or suggestions for a program for Fedora Core 12 that's got the functions and features of MS Paint?
I have an application which looks in a particular directory for it's settings. For example varsetting.txt. These settings are stored in a text format and can be edited easily. I would prefer to keep this setting.txt file on a USB stick rather than the HDD for portability so that I can easily use the same settings on two linux PC's without having to redit them everytime. I have tried but cannot manipulate the application to look in a different location for this file, do you know if it is possible to "point" linux to another location when looking for the file?
I setup a SSH server on my computer on a very high port, so that my brother could surf the web through my computer from Iran, since the majority of websites are filtered there.
Today, he told me he cannot connect to my computer. That's why, I got suspicious that they are doing packet based filtering instead of port. Then I decided to change the port to 433 for https, but one of my friend told me that they just banned https in Iran as well.
I was wondering if there's any way I can manipulate SSH packets between two computers so that my brother's ISP won't figure out he's exchanging SSH packets?
Just switched to openesuse and kde enviroment few days ago, and now I'm snooping around etc.
Anyway I'm having this problem, I'm running a file server at home for my video, data, music and so on. I've used ubuntu untill now (server is also running ubuntu), and I've used vlc to watch the files directly from the server, I never had any problems with it until now (in ubuntu gnome). I navigated with nautilus to a location on the server double clicked and the video opend in my local vlc. Now I'm getting the tittle error, using opensuse 11.2 kde 4 and dolphin. Also I'm told to check the log...
While back I installed dolphin in my gnome on ubuntu, and i remember I got the same error when i tred to open the file on a server and tried to play it in vlc tru dolphin. So...Is this a known issue? Could this be related to dolphin/kde? Where is the vlc log file in opensuse 11.2? Where can I find some workarounds or something?
