I just installed 10.04 and am pleased w/ things, for the most part. However, I cannot get a DVD disc to play (a movie, for instance) or be recognized unless I shut down the system and restart (provided I have already launched a Web video, or something). The DVD-ROM is dead to the world as far as disc recognition goes.
Things were just great in Karmic so this is completely confusing to me.
About two weeks ago I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. The upgrade went fine, everything works wonderfull, except maybe for Wine but am still figuring that out.
What I find a bit strange is that on the boot-up screen (where I get the choice between the different OS's on my two hard-drives) I still see Karmic listed on the partition where I upgraded (see attachment: on /dev/sda1).
When I boot-up, I first get this message: Mounting: mounting none on /dev failed: no such device
This stays about 20 seconds on screen after which Lucid starts up and gives me the log-in screen.
I have recently upgraded to Lucid with a clean install. I have two NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT cards with 3 21" monitors connected to them (two to card 1, 1 to card 2 although sometimes I plug in my projector so its 2 to both).I previously had Karmic installed and was able to use all three (or four) monitors without any problems. Now, however, Nvidia-settings only recognizes the one GPU. It will only recognize one or the other. If I edit xorg.conf so that Screen0 is on PCI:3 instead of PCI:1 (where my two cards are located) It will switch over to that GPU, but I can not get both to work together at the same time.
I have tried using my old xorg.conf but it does not work. I've tried editing the current xorg to have one monitor running off of each card and it will not work.
I have a Netgear USB wireless NIC and neither Ubuntu or Lubuntu Live images can see it. I have tried copying wlan from another machine and installing the packages, but that doesn't work.
I recently seen a thread showing what the file is that is missing in the Lucid live images that was present on the Karmic and earlier images, but I can't find it nor remember what the file was called.
how autoplay dvd on insertion in ubuntu 10.04?cant find the settings menu
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to autoplay a DVD when a (valid) VIDEO_TS folder is opened? Mos media players play VIDEO_TS folders but you have to start the player first and then select the folder. I am looking for a way so the media player(vlc) starts automaticly to play when I try to open the video_ts folder. A other option could be a right click option: play movie ith vlc (or something) Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 8.04, and Rythmbox 0.11 I am using for my home music source. I have been building a music library on my hard drive by inserting CD's, then using the "Copy to library" function. This works fine, but when I insert the CD, Rythmbox stops playing from the play list and switches to playing the CD. How do I stop this?
I can (and do) stop the player, manually go back to the play list, restart the player, then I can transfer the music from the CD to the hard drive. I'd just as soon not have it auto play. Or, alternately, is there another jukebox like player with more features that can handle the above? I find the shuffling isn't what I like, it seems to play some songs a lot more then others but I can live with that.
I have just installed 10.04 on my mothers PC. I prefer to use Xine as the DVD player, sound works, playback is smooth, and, most importantly, because menus work, making it easier for her to use. I have tried setting the DVD preference as xine with custom command but instead nautilus opens the dvd as folder. It almost worked in 9.10 (a bunch of error messages pop up sometimes "the source can't be read you don't have rights etc....) and worked perfectly before that. The error messages in 9.10 only pop up when DVD autoplays I've just had a thought that this might be because she is not administrator? (can't get to her PC at moment)
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy when I insert a cd/dvd/flash nautilus opens as a default file manager under KDE instead of dolphin krusader? in my system settings krusader is set as the default manager, but still nautilus somehow keeps showing up, and I'm wondering how to change that?
I keep nautilus because it's a dropbox dependancy... ok, I know there are workarounds so one could use dropbox without nautilus but I didn't bother trying that out... I don't mind keeping nautilus but I just want it to be quiet :D
I have kde 4.5.1 installed on up to date arch
So back in May I built a really sweet new box for my desktop running Ubuntu and put my old one out to pasture as a Fileserver running Squeeze. Well I have a very large DVD collection (900 disks 400 or so titles) that I'm trying to get ripped to hard disk for my popcorn hour. LONG STORY SHORT. When I put a dvd into what should be headless, keyboard-less, and mouse-less fileserver to use vobcopy with it starts up Totem (gstreamer) and loads the dvd menu. ARGGG. I then have to plug in all the hardware, close it, and go back to just using my desktop because it's less of a headache. How can I disable Totem from being a poopy pants and loading every DVD I put in the drive?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?

You are using Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat - released in October 2010 and supported until April 2012. Now, I run some shellscripts and they check the distro. lucid-wx is not in supported versions but lucid is. Where can I change the lucid-wx to lucid?
Is it somewhere in a textfile or so? I cannot find it in /etc/issues or using man -n of man -a or so.
Also, it is not mentioned in /etc/lsb-release.
I'm using Ubuntu with GNOME and alt+tab for switching windows does not work for me. I checked the system prefs & the keyboard shortcut was correct set.
I even tried changing the key to something else (that doesn't contain alt). It didn't work either. It appears as if the manager didn't recognize the shortcut & the key strokes were passed through to the current application. Rebooting didn't help either. Note that I can do alt+f5, alt+space. alt+f2 didn't work though.

I have tagged my mp3 collection using Rhytmbox. The problem is that my mp3 player is a Windows based and does not recognize these ID tags. Also, when I examine files in Windows, I see only empty spaces. When I did tagging in Windows, mp3 player recognized them without any problems. Any recommendation for some SW to ID tag my mp3s that would also be recognized by Windows/my mp3 player?
