I've got a set of MP3 files on dir .../foo/ and I want mplayer to play them sequencely but skipping some of them. If I run 'mplayer *' this will do but ofcourse won't skip any files. I think a shell script could be written to do that. It would be something like this (using some pseudocode):
#!/bin/bash
#After an example from Intro_Linux by M. Garret.
LIST=$(ls *.mp3)

when watching a movie in browser (ff/chrome) or using mplayer to replace flash on ..... for instance, i cannot skip around the video i'm watching...
- is there a way to be able to skip forward/backwards with mplayer?
- is there a way to replace mplayer with another program that will allow me to skip?
I somehow lost my "documents" file. I had written a letter on OpenOffice and then went to file it in my documents file. I clicked on "places" then on "documents" and what came up was my recently installed MPlayer unit! This is crazy! So how do I recover my "documents" folder and how can I assign MPlayer to its rightful place "Sound and Video"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if you could help me how to measure the time needed for Ubuntu to copy a file from one place to another.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe thing I like about mplayer is navigation in video at steps of 10s,1m or 10m. There are so many GUI's available yet I have not seen any in which our cursor hovers over slide to see time at that position. Like .....'s flash player allows you to go at any desired time in video.I think if the skin knows the length of video then it can divide length of slide timewise .

Here is the script I use to speak time. I use my natural voice to record like this:

Last, but not least, I wrote the script:

Note that I've commented out /bin/cat as a bandage solution to delete mail after mplayer plays the file. I said "bandage solution" because if I have grayson@ubuntu-server forward mail to my e-mail account through SMTP relay, I'm going to be seeing the e-mail messages sent every hour and I need to stop this from happening in the first place.
Example of the mail I've been getting in /var/mail/grayson:

This should be a very elementary question. I have a URL like http://SERVERNAME/file.wmv. When I enter it in "Open Location" in gnome-mpLayer it connects to the server and plays the stream. But when I run
mplayer "URL"
in the terminal I get a crazy endless loop of
Playing URL.

Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: SERVERNAME

I think my usage of mplayer in the terminal is correct, since I can watch other URL's.It's only this specific one that doesn't work (I am not authorized to write the URL because they want it to be private.So my question is: Does anyone know why I get this loop? Or is it possible to see how mplayer is called by gnome-mplayer and what output messages it generates?I use gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 and mplayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.
When using the grep plugin to VIM, I can search the current directory for all occurrences of a string within a set of files, like this::grep Ryan *.txtThis outputs something like this:
file1.txt:3:Ryan was here
file2.txt:10:Ryan likes VIM
file3.txt:5:superuser.com is a fav of Ryan

Are there any scripts available that will install software that will add more functionality to my new Ubuntu installation?

I recently upgraded to Maverick. I did a clean install on my system. I am running NVIDIA drivers from the X-Swat repo. Whenever I try to play a mkv file using Gnome Mplayer it is very jumpy and laggy. VLC, using it's new hardware acceleration, won't even display video, though it does output the audio. I experienced none of these problems with my 10.04 setup. I am unsure if it is a player bug, a driver bug or something with the VDPAU library itself.

I have a 6 month uptime going, but I'm taking it down soon for some hardware upgrades, so a hard restart is not out of the question, but I'd rather not. I also reset the router without a solution.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu desktop on my Acer Aspire One AOA150-1635 for over a year now in one form or another. I originally dual booted XP and Ubuntu Netbook Remix but decided against the remix when I did a clean install (over a year ago). All the issues I had then were the same issues others were having and have been fixed for a long time. I just recently upgraded to 10.10. I am unsure if this problem was present prior to the upgrade and I just hadn't run across it yet. I am also getting ready to upgrade my desktop and am afraid I will have the same issues.
It seems that certain windows don't fit on this desktop. For instance when I open Compiz config settings manager the bottom of the window is below the screen. When I try to click an option the window jumps and the same thing happens to the top. I can also click anywhere on the window to make this happen. I have included a couple pictures (taken with my camera please forgive the quality) to show you exactly what it is doing. It is getting rather annoying when I try to open one thing and the other right above or below it opens instead. I have to place my pointer in the spot where the item I am selecting will be after it jumps in order to open what I mean to open. When I right click it gives me options as if I was right clicking on the desktop background. The other issue which seems to be related is not being able to get to certain parts of longer windows such as Gnome color chooser. It seems to run off screen as well.

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on a DELL Latitude E6510 (bios A07). I am experiencing an annoying problem: It has this weird keyboard issue where whenever I am typing in an application, the cursor will jump up and over a few lines.

I wanted to put it on my older Toshiba laptop (2003) for my little cousin to use to get on the internet and play games. When I boot from the CD the ubuntu logo comes up runs. It ask me my language then goes to the screen where I can choose "Try Ubuntu without installing it" "Install Ubuntu Now" etc. Ive tried clicking both install and try both launch the ubuntu logo it runs for about 4 min and then hangs on a black screen. I know it isn't the cd because I can use it on any other computer and it works. This Toshiba cannot boot from a jump drive though so that choice is out.

View 6 Replies View RelatedStrange problem from a couple of months, Audio files skip every now and then. Sounds like buffering issue. MP3, Wav etc. all skip on VLC, Qamp etc, once in a minute or two, its quite random. i thought there was CPU spikes or something by some program i installed. I checked the system monitor and found no unusual spikes in the CPU... so i am thinking this must be the audio buffers. Can i set the buffers for the for the driver or something? my machine is: Dell Inspiron Mini netbook Ubutu lucid 10.04, 2bg RAM, 260GB HDD
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to list a directory recursively but I want to skip subdirs that were already mounted. There are 2 cases:
a) a filesystem was mounted twice, like in this example:
- "/dev/sda2" was mounted on "/mnt/mnt_point1"
- "/dev/sda2" was mounted on "/mnt/mnt_point2"
I want to list "/mnt" but descend only in "/mnt/mnt_point1"
b) part of the file hierarchy was remounted somewhere else, with "mount --bind":
- "mount --bind /home/user/tmp/test /home/user/tmp/mounted_test"
I want to list "/home/user/tmp" but descend only in "test" "statfs" and "statvfs" don't offer any information to discern if a dir was mounted twice. One solution would be to read "/etc/mtab" (as "find" command does it) and perform some checks, but I think that this is pretty expensive (one has to read /etc/mtab every time one encounters a dir; if this file is read only when program starts, a mount could occur in between reads, so that the program will be inaccurate). Another solution would be to filter kernel events (via libudev or Netlink) and do this reading of /etc/mtab only when a MOUNT event was issued.
My question is: How to skip the installation of a package when using yum update from the command line? i.e., How would one update a system from command line and skip/not update kernel?
