system - screen/mouse/keyboard/hard drive all freeze. if I am in the middle of video or audio, last second of audio loops. I get a terminal screen (attached).
Also, If there is a step by step overall troubleshooting guide,I would appreciate its location. This did not freeze under 10.10, but I have changed wifi card (changed driver) and loaded VirtualBox from oracle (not Ubuntu - VB not running during freeze)) - no other changes.
I previously had my bt878 capture card setup with Ubuntu 10.04 and it worked fine with Zoneminder. However, after having done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04, the card causes Ubuntu to freeze whenever I attempt to view the image in a viewing program (happens in tvtime, Cheese and Zoneminder)I have added bttv and bt878 into /etc/modprobe.d/options like before, and have also added options bttv card=77 tuner=-1 into bttv.conf in the same directory (had to create bttv.conf)The freeze causes the whole computer to lock up, and nothing on the keyboard or mouse is responsive, and involes having to do a hard restart.The only difference I can see from before, is that I have installed all of the latest updates with Update Manager, so maybe a new update is causing these problems?Output of dmesg � grep bttv
Code: [ 18.149815] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded [ 18.149826] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
Hey I'm looking for something to grab a section of the screen ... like to allow me to drag a rectangle around a portion of the screen and when I release, capture only that -- in to the clipboard would be fine or at that point to a image file format which I could save on the file system.
i have ubuntu 9 10 i have been searching in the internet but i have not found a solution, my problem is that i cant capture the screen with screen shot key (ptr sc) my keyboard has it under the key home, so in windows i have to use the
When I install Ubuntu 11.04 with Wubi, I get this freeze screen after I reboot and get past the Ubuntu splash screen: url
As you can see, it's a scrambled picture of my Windows desktop. This happens with every other version of Ubuntu also.
I'm running a 64-bit PC and I don't wanna waste another CD or use a USB to install, because I actually progress further in my efforts whenever I use Wubi.
out of no where it seems ubuntu no longer wants to cooperate when suspending/hibernating. the screen will just turn to a black screen without shutting down. each time i have to maually power down my laptop.
I've been running Ubuntu 10.10 very smoothly for a while now. Decided to upgrade to 11.04 - managed to corrupt the hard disk the first time by letting the laptop hibernate part of the way through but reinstalled from a live CD of 11.04 and it's now working except for this issue.
If I shut the screen on my laptop (or press the screen off button) either the screen won't come back on or it will but frozen (I can move the mouse but not click on anything etc.) In this state music continues to play (from spotify under wine) and if I press my hibernate shortcut (power button) the computer hibernates, only to wake into the same situation. I've got a Dell Latitude D520, upgraded to a bigger hard disk and more ram - the ubuntu partition has 50gb. Windows is working fine.
Edit: I noticed a sticky thread which includes something about a blank screen but I think this is a different issue?
On my Mac, when I press F2, I am able to take a screen shot of a selected area. Is it possible to assign a hot key to do the same thing on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC?
I need to take a screen capture while an application is running. The application is a touch screen calibration utility and alt-Prnt Scrn does not work when the calibration utility is active. Is there another way for me to capture the screen while the utility is active?
I have installed XVidCap Screen Capture. If I record my screen with XVid Cap Screen Capture there is no sound. But if I record with Desktop Recorder there is sound. What is wrong?
I'm having problems with the screen capture utility in Fedora 11. Everytime i capture a screenshot, it looks like this:[url]
I've tried turning off Compiz, but that doesn't do anything. I suspect it may have something to do with the kms (I have an Intel 82855/855GM, which has had issues in beta).
I wonder if there is the possibility of getting to press any key and the F6 for example, Fedora starts up a screenshot, equal to application "form screen capture image" in the menu acessories .. The problem is that if I want to do this I have to be opening up the application every time .. and I like to do with was fast, just by clicking F6 or printscreen for example ..
I am looking for an screen capture application which auto runs when ubuntu starts up and work without any instructions or clicking capture or anything, = "Some1" ** Turns on the System --> UBUNTU Loads --> the Screen capture Runs--> it takes screen shots with out "Some1"s knowledge// turns off system.... I get home -->> turn on system -->> screen shots r saved.. n um checking em...!!!
On my Windoze machine, I use Replay Media Catcher 4 which runs silently in the background and captures any videos (FLV, AVI, MPG, WMV, etc) on any websites that I happen to go to, and saves them to a folder on my hard drive. Right now, if I want to save a video that I'm wathing from Ubuntu, I have to go to /temp, guess which file it is, and copy it after it downloads fully but before it finishes playing, otherwise Firefox deletes it from /temp right away. This is a pain.
Yes, there are screen motion capture utilities in the Ubuntu Software Center, but they're just screen scrapers that result in low quality copies without any audio. I want something that will actually capture the video stream and save it as a file. Even if it doesn't save all videos automatically like RMC4, and I have to right click on the video to Save As, that would be better than copying it from /temp at the precise exact moment.
As the title says, I'm looking for a command to resize on the fly as I capture. My desktop's 1680x1050, but I want to shrink down to say 1280x720.. or other.
My screen capture software, shutter and system's default "take screenshot", do not function normal any more. It can only capture the desktop wallpaper, not any other elements on the desktop, nor any other opened windows. It's just like taking an x-ray picture by passing all the other objects/elements/running programs on top of the desktop wallpaper. Any ideas? I am using Fedora 14 64 bit. The screen capture software were working fine, though.
I need a bash script that auto captures the screen (every 30 sec) and then realize an archive with those screenshots. The script will allow me to quering by user name and date and time framing and if exists a capture archive, it will display a slideshow that presents the captures of specified time.
I'm trying to capture my desktop screen and audio , before I used xvidcap but after upgrading my system I can not use it and also recordmydesktop anymore these APPs hanged when I try to use them.Now I try to use recorditnow via ffmpeg recorder interface , it work properly in recording the desktop but it does not record the sound , so I tried to add below options to its command -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 but it just record sound at the beginning and just for 1 second. Also when I try to capture my desktop with ffmpeg directly from command line with below command I face with same problem!!! ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024X768 -r 30 -i :0.0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 ~/out.mpg
I have video capture device "MSI vox USB 2.0", every thing seem to be fine, but none of tv applications show the device, they just show my webcam "/dev/video0"
It's driver is "em28xx" from "v4l2"
I test it with "mythtv, tvtime, xawtv, kdetv, me-tv, v4l2-tool, vlc, mplayer" none of them work detect the device, expect mplayer open a green window with time out message.
The device work fine under windows I test it with vlc-win
The sort of add on for Firefox 'download helper' now has a new screen capture thing, in case it won't download the video from a particular site. You click the red button and a purple boundary appears round the video frame. I assume this is the basic function of the thing; it then provides the geometry of the purple frame to the program you've given it to capture the video.
By default the program it uses is 'recordmydesktop'. I've tried using this but get sound from the laptop's internal microphone, not the video. Tried 'pavucontrol' to remedy this but it says (wrongly) that no program is recording, so can't put things right.
So tried using ffmpeg: [URL]
Assume the stuff in curly brackets is what download helper supplies. Sometimes works perfectly but with B.BC. i-player only get the top left hand corner of the video and it is stretched somewhat horizontally.
I'm having this problem right now. Everything seems fine right until the login screen. I click my name and attemp to login using virtual keyboard, since i use wireless mouse and keyboard. Well, none of both works while at this step, so i just use a wired mouse. Well that was yesterday.
Today i can't login using this method since 2 secs while i try to put my pass it just freezes. Not even my wired mouse works. Of course i can not use other terminal. Just in case i went into recovery mode to check if it was my gpu (5870) and it runs just fine in recovery(well at least the sort of test i does, but when it switched driver, bam freeze again) Still i don't think its gpu related, but maybe im wrong.
I was thinking to try and log in console(since while at recovery, keyboard seemed to work) and throw some update to see if that could fix muy problem.
Recently I have installed Ubuntu under windows and it worked perfectly the first time I booted up. It was really fast and wireless worked which was a plus. However the second time I tried to log into Ubuntu it froze at the login screen and no usernames were displayed. My mouse also didn't work.
In order to try to fix this I just rebooted and had the same issue, this time the drum sound played three and a half times then the same as before happened.
As a result I completely reinstalled Ubuntu (again under windows) and have been having the same problem, but this time I can actually see my user name.
I have noticed that when this freeze occurs the Hard Drive seems to just stop all activity which is interesting. By the way my computer is working perfectly if I boot into windows so all hardware is fine.
Edit: It seems that this problem only occurs when I am running my laptop off battery power
I installed KDE (because its what all the pretty Linux desktops use) and gave it a go. My initial problem-black screen. But I had that taken care of. So I had a great time and all and then I restart and then FREEZE (which is VERY rare in something as great as Ubuntu, compared to Windows which I now hate). When it does that, mouse moves but thats it. I'm overall very smart and pretty good with operating system but Linux code is something I am yet to learn. Also, my Gnome desktop isn't really that bad although I'm desperate for one of those sidebars that show you the CPU and time and weather and crap.
