I'm starting to take advantage of a lot of the software packages that come with Ubuntu, and I am finding an abundance of software for just about everything. So far, the best application for my needs is the Calibre E-Book Reader, and I am wondering if a similar program exists for audio books. Something which would store them altogether, and categorise them by title, date, genre, author etc.
View 1 RepliesWhich linux media player is good for listening audio books,
I need something with good bookmark support, something to at least remember where I left last time.
I noted in another post that gtkpod was suggested for audio book use. I had a look at the documentation but it did not give any clear indication of this.
Using iTunes it is possible to link all the tracks on 1 CD which makes for uninterupted listening and will also offer the facility to stop and re-start the book from where I left off. Is this available using gtkpod?
My laptop is purely a Linux setup. I am told that I would have to change the BIOS settings which is well beyond my capabilities. As I particularly wish to keep my system pure I need to find the best possible way to work with audio books rather than to capitulate to Microsoft or Apple.
I'm new to linux hence would like to know if there are any books that can be helpful in understanding linux from the scratch. Any suggestions would be greatful.

Exporting the default evolution address book to a cvs file is relatively simple:"There is an obscure utility called evolution-addressbook-export that does the job. To find it use the locate command on your system as it isn't in your normal path. Mine was located :
/usr/libexec/evolution/2.6/evolution-addressbook-export
to use is simple :
/usr/libexec/evolution/2.6/evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv >contacts.csv"[URL]..
But this ONLY exports contacts from the default address book (Personal address book), not other address books one may have created in evolution. SO HOW SHOULD THE COMMAND BE MODIFIED TO EXPORT ADDITIONAL ADDRESS BOOKS THAT ONE HAS CREATED?Cannot find an answer to this anywhere - most frustrating.
I'm having an issue in Evolution after upgrading to 11.04 in which upon autocompletion when typing emailaddresses in the To/CC fields, is slower than molasses.
I'm trying to troubleshoot this issue, but in my Evolution the Personal addressbook (from Contacts) is displayed 7 times. That is I have one CouchDB, one entry for the Exchange 2003 server, and 7 "On This Computer/Personal" addressbooks.
Any contact I add in one of these end up in every single of the others, even though none of these addressbooks are in use. But I can give every addressbook an individual name, so it appears to individual addressbooks.
I have searched the home folder and /usr for where I can find these and remove them, but they simply are nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know in which file I need to edit in order to fix this, and does anyone else have the slow autocompletion problem after upgrading to 11.04?
Suddenly I can't open some of my evolution address books. I get this error message :
Unable to open address book
This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable.
Detailed error message: Invalid source
This doesn't happens with 3 out of 5 address books. All the books in question are on my computer. My ubuntuone and google address books work fine. I've looked around for answers, but most of the issues seem to be related to the ubuntuone book, which is working fine for me.
There is a following convention: tar/zip/rar archive renamed to cbt/cbr/cbz is recognized by some application as a comic book file, so file managers can open it using corresponding viewers, which treat sequence of images inside as pages of a book. And nautilus used to recognize cbt files, making thumbnails from the first image in such renamed archive back in karmic. It still recognizes such file as "Comic Book Archive" after upgrade to lucid but fails to thumbnail it now. It tries to do that though, showing icon with the clock for a moment, but almost instantly fails, printing "Error loading document: File type Tar archive (application/x-tar) is not supported" to the console. When I am trying to open cbt file in evince (which is responsible for making document thumbs in gnome afaik) it displays exactly the same error message. Cbt files itself are completely valid and can be opened easily with Comix for example. Thumbs created in karmic are still displaying fine as well.

I have so far found no settings whatsoever that would trigger the expected behaviour. It would in fact be good enough if the display could be switched to other than Personal address book at all...

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my recently installed openSUSE 11.4 system I am using Kwallet to store all of my private passwords and also those associated with my Kmail accounts. All of these passwords appear correctly in Kwallet, but it seems there is a problem with Kmail accessing them.Whenever I start a new session, Kmail loads first and is followed by Kwallet. When Kmail then tries to do its first mail retrieval it stops and asks for the account password. I type this in and then Kwallet requests its administrator password. Once I type this in, my mail is downloaded and I get no further request for the passwords during that session.
The same thing happens when I attempt to send my first email of the day. I get a Kmail request for the SMTP account password. I've tried changing the Kwallet settings so that it doesn't close when unused for a period,or when the screensaver kicks in, but this (predictably) has no effect. In the Access Control screen, both KDE Wallet Manager and Kontact are shown as 'Always Allow' and I can see no other settings in either Kwallet or Kmail which are relevant to the problem.My guess is that the problem occurs because Kmail starts up ahead of Kwallet and therefore doesn't load the passwords initially. But that may be a red herring as I'm not familiar with the way Kmail and Kwallet interact.
I'm interested in storing my SSH keys and gpg keys on a smartcard for added security. However, I'm a bit uncertain on a few points, which are as follows:
How many keys can I get on a card? I assume both SSH and GPG can store keys on the card. Is there a limit to key size? I see a lot of cards saying they support 2048-bit keys, what about larger sizes? Hardware: can anyone recommend a card/reader combination that works well? I've done a fair amount of research and it seems PC/SC readers can be a bit iffy - is this your experience? Have I missed anything I should be asking? Are there any other hurdles?
I'm aware fsf europe give away cards with membership - I'm not sure I want to join, but... are these cards any good?
i'm using awk inside bash. i've got an array in awk called arrayinawk. everytime i call another awk command in bash i have to keep creating arrayinawk to work with it. is there anyway i can store arrayinawk in bash and just call the stored value next time i use awk?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a command-line flash card program in Python. I've tried many existing applications, but none fit my specialized needs.
All of the words I'd like to study are manually added to a text file (study.txt). Each time the software is loaded, it checks for new words in that file and also compares them to a dictionary (a tab-separated file, dictionary.txt), and adds that to a matrix. The flash cards are thus automatically generated from study.txt and dictionary.txt.
Now, the software must manage lots of information about each word I'd like to study and add new information made while interacting with the program (such as when that word should be studied next).
That seems easy to put into a matrix. But what is the best way to put that information in a place where I can pull it back when I run the software tomorrow? Do I need to save the matrix to a CSV file, then convert the CSV file back to a matrix the next time the application is run?
I have a program that sends QByteArray datagrams over a udp socket. I would like to have 4 bytes of the datagram that contain a 32 bit integer. When saving numbers to the QByteArray, I have tried the static function number(int) and member function setNum(int), but they convert the integer to its decimal string representation and save that in the byte array. So if the number were 10, it takes 2 bytes, if it were 10,000,000 it takes 8 bytes. This wastes space, and makes it more difficult to get the number when it is packed with a few other pieces of data in the same datagram. Is there a standard way of doing this in Qt?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for a tweak that would allow me to store temp and log files in ram. I've found a few that involved editing the fstab file, but they were either Ubuntu articles or they were over a year old and perhaps didn't apply to Fedora 14.I hear there is also a 'noatime' command that can help speed up processes by telling the kernel not to saved when files are accessed.And what are the advantages and disadvantages of noatime, and writing log/tmp files to ram?

The issue is that the install gets stuck at 74% - storing language.
I have tried different ISO's and burnt different CD's.
I have a variable in which the data is stored as below:
variable_test=0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s .....an so on.
There are lots of values in format like "3m1.057s" are stored in variable_test separated with an space between two such values. For exapmple, value is "3m1.057s" I need to save different parts of a value in three separate array variables such as the
var_hour=3
var_min=1
var_sec= 057
tell if this can be done using "awk". A "WHILE" loop might be used to separate and store theses values I guess?
I have 2 images stored temporarily in home folder totaling 21 gigs. I recieved warning stating that home disrectory is full.
I used gparted and resized extended partition and home partition. When I look at disk usage it still says that I'm maxed out in /home/edward. How do I increase my share as I have plenty of space. Or, can I create a place for storing images? Also the images were created and placed there using clonezilla.
This used to work in Fedora < 15. Whenever I want to send an e-mail using Gmail's SMTP server for the first time in a given session, the KWallet system asks if I would not rather migrate the password and store it encrypted inside a wallet. Every time I concur and every time an error message pops-up, as soon as I try and send another e-mail. The attached snapshot shows the error message I get. It doesn't matter how many times I select "Store Password". Every time the ordeal is the same. Up to Fedora 14 this method worked all right, but now it fails.

I have an Aspire One with Linux operating system.
I have an external hard drive that I want to save data to from my Aspire One however when I try I get a message that the external hard drive is full.
I know it isn't full and when I use the external hard drive on my other pc with Window 7 it is fine.

On command line I have no problem storing a variable e.g
Code:
:~/bin$ process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`
:~/bin$ echo $process
26736
:~/bin$
When I try to incorporate this into a shell script I get a blank.
Code:
:~/bin$ cat process_idesk
#!/bin/bash
process=`ps -ef | awk ' $8 == "idesk" { print $2 }'`
[code]....
The process_idesk script has been chmoded to be executable by the user. I'm sure there must be a silly omission on my behalf.
