Ubuntu :: Display MP3 Metadata (ID3) In File Manager?

Jan 24, 2011

Ubuntu 10.10.

In Windows Explorer detailed view I can select columns to display artist title, track number, etc for MP3 files. Is this functionality available under Krusader, Nautilus, Dolphin, etc? If so please help.

I downloaded a kde-multimedia package that was supposed to make this work in Konqueror but no luck.

Ubuntu :: File Manager - Cant Get To Display A Background Picture On The Desktop

Jul 13, 2010

I just installed 9.10, and the "File Manager" seems to not be working. I cant get ubuntu to display a background picture on the desktop, and anything I put on the desktop is not selectable. If I try to access anything under the "Places" tab, it tries to open a window, which read "opening whatever" but nothing happens. I can access files via terminal just fine.

General :: Set Metadata On A MPEG2 Video File?

Feb 1, 2010

I have a whole pile of MPEG2 and MP4 files. I want to add metadata to the files, such as title, author, year, etc. I can use AtomicParsley to add this information to MP4 files, but I can't see how to do this with MPEG2 files. Is this possible? If so, are there any linux FLOSS command line tools to add this data?

Programming :: Getting A Music File Metadata Editing Software?

Jan 8, 2010

I want to make a program that edits music file ID3 tags, for example: overwrites all "artist" tags for a list of files with other one. I know some c++,python and shell scripting.

- how can I get just the metadata from a mp3 file? Mplayer shows file metadata before playback, but I could not find a switch for mplayer that displays just the data

- how can I edit the metadata?

- What libraries should I check out if I want to implement this with C++ or python?

- What about "custom" metadata tags? In the foobar2000 media player for m$ i could make my own metadata tags (like "record label"). How can these be edited & added?

Ubuntu :: Change Default Display Manager From Kdm To Gdm?

Sep 26, 2010

I installed 6.04 LTS on my machine and the upgraded to 8.04 LTS, and then 10.04 LTS. I was playing around with appearance settings and chose the highest level of window animation but this seemed to cause some sort of problem with gnome (the top bar of windows disappeared including minimize, maximize and close buttons). So I used command line to reinstall gnome (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) and this fixed the problem, but because i didnt realize what i had done to cause it i tried to do the animation settings again, which messed it up and became unfixable by using the above command, so i installed the kde desktop environment using command line and chose to use kdm as the default display manager because i thought i might have to uninstall gnome and didnt want to lose all display managers. Later on i had another idea of how to fix my gnome problem, i chose the highest level of animation again in the appearance settings but when it asked if i wanted to keep these settings or use previous settings i chose previous which reverted back to the lowest level and the window bar came back!

Because i got this fixed i didnt want to use the kdm display manager anymore, so i modified the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file from /usr/bin/kdm to /usr/bin/gdm, at the time i didnt realize it was supposed to be sbin! so i restarted the computer and now it cant find the file for kdm or gdm because gdm is in sbin and kdm is in bin but its looking for gdm in bin. So i have been trying to use recovery boot up to edit the file, which is where my problem is: whenever i try to edit the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file to read /usr/sbin/gdm, it displays that i do not have write permissions and that it is a read only file. I have used sudo with every command, and tried nano and vi text editors.Long story short I need to edit the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file to read /usr/sbin/gdm but it will not let me due to "write permissions" even when im using root and sudo;

Ubuntu :: Login Using The Old Gnome Display Manager?

Jul 30, 2011

Ok, I've tried Unity for awhile now and I can say it lacks a couple of critical things for me. First is launchers, second is a task bar. While casually browsing the web is ok, more serious work involving several windows has become a pain.

I have a dual screen with four virtual desktops. I'm tired of searching for my windows.

Now, I've read in a few places that I just need to choose "Ubuntu-classic" whenever I boot my machine. This is fine, but for the fact that I don't have any options on my login screen... Just the login and the accessibility & power buttons at the bottom right.

How can I log in using the old gnome display manager?

Fedora :: Yum "Metadata File Does Not Match Checksum" / Solve This?

Jul 8, 2010

I am using Fedora12 for about three months. I generally do a yum update once a week, and all went well till yesterday when I got a long list of messages like this:

"rpmfusion-free-updates/primary_db | 473 kB 00:00
http://mirrors.tummy.com/mirrors/rpm...ry.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror."

The above message was repeated for all the mirrors until at last it said "no more mirrors to try" and stopped. Tried again after "yum clean all", but the same problem repeats. Today I tried afresh, and got the same message.

Is this due to some recent update I did, or is there a real problem with the mirrors? Please tell me how to solve this.

CentOS 5 :: Error "Metadata File Does Not Match Checksum"

Apr 6, 2010

After adding rpmforge on a fresh installation of CentOS 5.4 64bit, I received the error "Metadata file does not match checksum" so decided to try the fix yum -y remove yum-fastestmirror, As discussed at [URL]... Unfortunately, this also deinstalled yum. If I try to reinstall from my CentOS 5.4 DVD, I get:

# rpm -i --aid yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
yum-fastestmirror is needed by yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch

But if I try to install the yum-fastestmirror I get

# rpm -i --aid yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
yum >= 3.0 is needed by yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch

Which is a bit circular.

Fedora :: Virt - Manager Display For Windows?

Sep 4, 2009

I have a VM with Windows XP that is driving me crazy. Everything works great except the display windows (and networking, but that is a different story) I am open VirtManager and go to display the OS and the images will get distorted. I will open IE and scroll down a webpage and some of the text will remain still and others will move, leave an image of garbage. This makes it very aggravating to use. To clear the page I can shake the window (using the cursor not my hands) or move from one tab to another till it clears.. then if I scroll again I have to deal with it all over again.

Ubuntu Servers :: Install A Minimal X/windows Manager On Server - Can't Open Display

Sep 18, 2010

trying to set up a very minimal X on my 10.04 64 bit version of Ubuntu running nothing but Open SSH and acting as a firewall/router, making a PPP connection. The reason, is that I want to set up KVM/Qemu and run a virtual machine. The virtual machine will have a graphical environment and will be connected to my TV so that I can watch movies, stream TV etc. using it. So far, I have done the following:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core miwm

When I try to run miwm the error message is:

(null): can't open display.

I have no DISPLAY variable set, but even when I set one myself using export DISPLAY=:0.0 it makes no difference.

Debian :: Login Manager Doesn't Display On Testing IMac G3?

Aug 2, 2010

I've successfully installed Debian testing (squeeze) on my old iMac G3. I didn't select a desktop environment as a preconfigured package, but only left "standard system utilities" checked.Once I rebooted, I logged in as root (on the command line) and ran "apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies gnome-icon-theme xdm", let all that pull in and installd then rebooted. As the system was booting, I could see all the services starting and whatnot, but when it gets to the line "Starting xdm..." the screen changes to black, but stays black for a good 2 minutes. I tried hitting some keys on the keyboard, as well as typingy login credentials, even though I can't see them, but nothing seems to work. I've tried rebooting several times

Debian Configuration :: Gnome Power Manager Display Setting Not Respected?

May 19, 2011

Despite having the Gnome Power Manager set to put the display to seep after 30 minutes, it always happens after 5 minutes. The display will go blank but still lit, and then it powers off after the 30 minutes. Surely, if I set it to 30 minutes, the display should power off then, and not just blank after 5? I have no screensaver packages installed so it's nothing to do with that.
