View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Audio Formats: Identification - Conversion - Figure Out What Format A File Is In?
Apr 12, 2010I think that the biggest problem that I have had is that some of the music (and audio books) that I have gotten have not played on my walkman, or have not been able to be downloaded in to I-tunes.
First: I hate itunes... I only try to make it work because I love my wife. (and do not want her to hit me)
Second: I know that my Walkman has a very limited range of files that it can play, so I will need to convert some types of files.
But my basic questions:
* How can I figure out what format a file is in?
* Below that, how can I identify the singular characteristics of a file? (bit rate, and other formats...)
* Is there a best way to switch the formats or format options of these files. (I am currently using sox to do this, it seems to very complete)
Basically. I know nothing! The most that I do not know is that two files that as far as I can tell have the same formats, and should work the same never the less, one of them works, the other does not. I am looking to figure out a way to look at these files (maybe they are mislabeled) and figure out what their real format is (and a more complete format than just being MP3 or such) and then to be able to convert it in to a format that is able to be used by myself and/or my wife.
Ubuntu :: Backing Up A Specific Server Package?
May 16, 2010how would I backup a specific package. Really all I want is the configuration files.
the package I'm talking about is mumble-server, could I say rsync all the files that were installed, then if I wanted to drop it in just copy those back over?
If I had to wipe the installation and reinstall, could I install that package again then drop my backup copy back over it?
Dpkg tells me these are the files it installed.
Code:
dpkg-query -L mumble-server

Jul 29, 2010I am trying to install freemind without it downloading and installing openjdk as a dependency as it makes freemind run very, very slow. I have already installed sun-java-jre as a substitue but debian still wants to install openjdk.Any ideas how I can stop this? Also, should I assume that sun-java-jre is not installed properly as debian thinks the dependency is not met? I installed sun-java-jre with the auto bin file downloaded from the sun site. It is installed in /usr/java, is this right?I love debian! It's much faster and more robust then Ubuntu, even with squeeze testing (current version). Just a bit of a shock have to do some basic config myself.

Jun 25, 2011I run a bunch of CentOS 5.6 servers, where we continuously deploy our software. Our software comes in self-made rpm packages from a network-local yum repository. As bugs happen in software development, I sometimes want to downgrade to the previous release, so force the installation of a specific version of the package.I tried the allow-downgrade plugin, but so far no luck. Neither yum update nor yum install seem to work with allow-downgrade. (It does not seem to do anything?). Does anyone have a working example for yum --allow-downgrade?
This is what I tried:
1) Show current yum version

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Skip Specific Upgrade In Synaptic Package Manager?
Dec 19, 2010All of a sudden when I ran an update with the usual
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
I got an input / output error for a specific file followed by an exit with dpkg returning error code 1.
In this case the package (ubuntu-docs) is not exactly life threatening, so I would prefer any update process to simply skip that particular package and move onto the ones that are getting held up. I then opened Synaptic Package Manager where I located the erroneous package. I then unmarked the particular package (ie the blob in front of the package name was green, and the status line shows zeroes for all categories (broken, upgrade/install, remove). So far so good. I then found the 'lock version' menu item under the packages menu. I clicked it, and ran the reload thing. After that thought the package was marked for deletion however, and I once again couldn't get by this one bad package.
So (tl/dr perhaps), how can I make Synaptic / apt-get / or whatever to skip this bad package for real so that I can update my system normally going forward? (Why is it that the whole upgrade process is that fragile by the way? Surely there must the the occasional dud package upgrade that people want to skip, no? Having the whole process grind to a halt because of one issue seems border line paranoid to me. Of course on a minimal server installation where every package counts this behavior makes sense perhaps, but on a IMHO bloated plain vanilla ubuntu install?

Apr 11, 2010I am running the xfce desktop on a new ubuntu 9.10 installation.I used the Synaptics Package Manager to install several applications, including R, the statistics programming language. After the installation, it took me quite a while to find where the package manager put the executable, but I found it.The problem is, I can't figure out how to get it to execute. I tried double clicking on it and I tried right clicking on it and selecting "Execute" from the menu that pops up.
How do I get an executable to execute? Also, is there an easy way to track down where the executables get put after I use the Synaptics Package Manager?It would be handy if I could put links to them in some central location.
