Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Banshee And Default Library Location
Jul 23, 2011
I am moving to Banshee on all of my 10.04 systems (anticipating the future of Ubu). Banshee has been doing something I don't understand and which seems very wrong (and which is actually causing some problems, if minor). First let me explain the arrangement. I have a server with a music share we'll call server:/tunes. On all of the machines and for all the users there is a mount (/media/tunes/) for said share.
Additionally so that all users have the same transparent experience, each user has a shortcut at ~/Music/tunes (which points to /media/tunes/). Through this I don't need to alter the default library location and all of the music on the server is automatically part of every library (and all library content and playlists have the same paths). However, Banshee has decided for some files to do one of three things:
1. It points (correctly) to only ~/Music/tunes/path/to/song.flac
2. It points (wrongly) to only /media/tunes/path/to/song/flac
3. It points to both and there is a duplicate entry
I have not knowingly given Banshee the path /media/tunes/anything.

I'm running Banshee 1.6.1 on an AMD64 machine and I am having problems re-scanning my library. Every time I select Tools -> Rescan Music Library (even after making substantial changes to my library) the status bar disappears after a few seconds. Has anyone else witnessed this phenomena before? I can re-import my library to update the banshee database, but it would nice if this feature functioned properly.

I think I've gone through every media player there is out there for Ubuntu, and the one that's come the closest to managing my library the way it's managed in Windows with MediaMonkey has been Banshee - being that at least it supports the albumartist tag.
But it still doesn't work as well as I'd like. In the 'artist' tag field I use the semicolon ( ; ) to separate the artists if there are more than one. For example the artist tag of a particular song may look like this: Blakroc;The Black Keys;Nicole Wray
MediaMonkey would see this and separate the tag so that each of the contributing artists would have this song under their name. Every media player on Ubuntu (that I know of) sees this as one artist in itself, so in my Artist section I could have a bazillion 'artists' who are in fact all the same artists.
My first question: is there a way to get Banshee (or another media player) to recognize the ' ; ' in the tags in the same way as WMP and MM do? My other question: is there a way to change which tagging fields Banshee looks for. For instance, when determining the album artist, some media players look for the 'ALBUM ARTIST' tag, others look for 'ALBUMARTIST' while others look for 'BAND'. They all mean the same thing but when your music is tagged in one program, it turns out completely different in another.

The latest version of banshee 2.0.0 which was updated today on my computer has a bug where if you double click on song in your library it will show the wrong album art and the wrong wikipedia article. If you double click a second time it retrieves the correct album art and the correct wikipedia article. If this is the new banshee for Ubuntu 11.04 it's not going to make many people happy.

Where is the location of the header files for the c++ standard library?
I assume that they were installed by gnu g++, please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm running ubuntu 10.04 with g++ 4.4.
I looked in /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.4/include, but this directory contains only the following:
Code:
Which doesnt seem to include the really basic things like iostream, for example.
Where can I take a look at the header files for these standard c++ libraries?

I recently installed openCV using [URL]. I am unable to locate library location to be included while running programs. Does this version of openCV needs libraries to be downloaded externally or they are inbuilt and I am unable to get their location.

I copy all music to a single location (~/music) which makes it easier to backup and manage.However, Rhythmbox looks for music both here, and under the purchased music folder, which means that any music I have purchased gets listed twice - once from my music folder, and once from the purchased music folder.I have tried using gconf-editor to change apps/rhythmbox/library_locations to only include my music folder, however when next I restart Rhythmbox, the setting reverts to also including the purchased music folder.Is there a way of preventing this from happening?I only want "~/music" listed for library locations - I do not wish to include "~/.local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased%20from%20Ubuntu%20One".

I have got a question, my fileserver is up and running and is working great but if i want to download something by HTTP using the command wget [url] it does not show up in my server...
I think this is because my server location is : /Home/samba/
How do i change my default download location to /Home/Samba/ so i can see this in my network?

I recently installed Banshee and would like to set it as my default music player. Currently, when I plug in my iPod, Rythmbox auto loads and then Banshee cannot access the device. Is there a way to go about changing this setup so when I plug in the iPod, it's Banshee that loads it and not Rythmbox?

My code needs to link to some libraries. In my project file, I specify linker to link to abc library, for example. By default, does gcc link to libabc.a or libabc.so ? What if I really need to specify static or shared, how do I do that?

I've read "Can't choose my 2nd HDD to install Ubuntu" and "How to move GRUB?".but my problem seems not exactly the same as them. I have three drives:
1) SATA drive on first port with Windows on it
2) IDE drive with Ubuntu9.10 on it
3) new SATA drive for Ubuntu10.04
I want to remove the IDE drive and put it in a safe place as a backup.
I installed 9.10 on the new SATA, intending to see if I could get Upgrade Mangager to offer me Lucid Lynx. I should have unplugged the IDE drive but I didn't. Anyway, the Ubuntu9.10 CD installer did find the new SATA disk which I had partitioned using my original 9.10 setup on the IDE. It did put Ubuntu onto the first partition of the new SATA where I wanted it. However, if I disable the IDE in BIOS I get just a blinking underscore at the top left conrer of the screen on reboot. Why would the installer do this to me? Nevermind, perhaps a better question is this: How do I check where GRUB2 has been installed and if, as I suspect, it's put GRUB2 on the IDE, what's the simplest and safest way to get GRUB2 put on the boot sector of the new SATA disk?

Using openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3, where should I look for the default printer settings?
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser which for some reason prints right down to the bottom of the page cutting off the top part of the last line on that page. The default settings for the top and bottom margins are 0.50 inches. During installation using Yast2, the test page printed with correct borders.
When I change the bottom margin in options (from Ctrl-P), the page prints with the bottom margin set to 0.50 inch. The problem is I have to reset that margin every time I print a new document.
Where can I change that default setting? I've searched in /etc, /var, and /home but can't find it.

Just trying to figure out how to change the virtual HD location. I want to use a large storage drive to host the HD and snapshots on. I was able to fumble my way through the snapshot part. How can i tell Virtualbox to use my storage drive rather than my local boot drive to store / run guest from? also, I can migrate the guest HD AFTER install cant I?

if you try to browse the web from the machine, or log in through a nomachine (nxclient/nxserver) session, it claims there is no internet conenction. You have to run System|Administration|Network and select the stored "Location" for our wired connection. There does not seem to be an option to make this (one and only) "Location" the default. If the machine is up and incoming connections are possible (samba & apache), surely outgoing connections should be working without extra fiddling?
The issue with nxserver (nomachine) becoming unavailable on a re-booted unattended machine (unless someone logs in AT THE MACHINE and runs System|Administration|Network) is causing problems for remote access.

I avoid capslock like the plague and use "ctrl:nocaps" when in X, and would like to have the same behaviour in the console. Back when I was using Debian I got it set up the way I want, but now I can't seem to locate the default keymap. I tried editing
Code:
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz
and it works when I use loadkeys manually, but not on boot.

Since school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.

The notification area in the panel comes up each time I boot with Irl as the geographical location. If I click this it changes to GBr (which is correct). Is there any way of stopping the Irl display, or at least make GBr the default at boot time?
