Having just spent many hours going through my entire photo collection tagging, rotating and editing (red eye, cleaning up etc), I am now sat with the window open deciding whether or not it's safe to close it.
I cannot find a save or apply button so I'm not sure if these changes are only made in F-spot itself or if I have to do anything else to make sure it saves to the files.
I DID check the option about storing data in the files where possible but I don't want to just assume it and have to do all this again.
I'm learning how to use F-Spot photo manager. When I click on an image thumbnail in the main browse box, (to highlight it), and then I click the "Edit Image" button at the top, - it doesn't display the image in the edit box. It displays a default grey picture frame (place holder)
I think the title says it all. I want a quick way to crop images whilst retaining exif data (rules out shotwell) so when I upgraded lucid to natty (via MM) I kept f-spot. However when I click the 'edit image' button in eye of gnome f-spot still opens but it has no 'edit' or 'metadata' options in the sidepane so I can't do a quick crop anymore. Why they are missing or how to put them back?
I had the problem: "could not download all repository indexes". On Cruncheee (An EEEPC specific Crunchbang distro), which I managed to "fix" by changing the /etc/apt/sources.list file by replacing it with stuff I found in a guide. (Shown at end). Now when I press the Reload button on Synaptic no more errors come up! But when I search for "audacious" (music player) I can only find "crunchbang-audacious-theme", and no actual crunchbang installing things.
What have I actually done to my my sources.list file, did I tell it to look elsewhere for servers with lists of dependencies? Is a "repository" just a place on the internet which has lots of dependencies in it? If I were to just add more and more stuff to my sources.list file and kept pressing "reload" on Synaptic, would I eventually find some packages to install Audacious? What does "sudo apt-get" do? Is that exactly the same as finding something on synaptic and clicking it?
My new sources.list: ## Add comments (##) in front of any line to remove it from being checked. ## Use the following sources.list at your own risk. deb [URL] dapper main restricted universe multiverse deb-src [URL] dapper main restricted universe multiverse [Code].....
I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".
I have to administer a few mail servers, a mail log server, 4 nameservers and a web server -all running on Centos 5 server distributions. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and mail log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves. I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions:
- How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program? - How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
Installed Ubuntu last night on a friends computer. I never work with pdf.files. Is there anything he can use to edit them on Ubuntu. I had to laugh thou when I returned home from work he was playing with Ubuntu, and downloading .exe files, and was frustrated why they were not installing.
I have lots of files I need to put in my /var/www/ folder (Apache http server). I thought I understood how to edit it:For single files: sudo cp file /var/www/For opening files: sudo gedit /var/www/fileBut I can't use the above for a thousand files, and I really can't afford the learning curve of BASH scripting at this time. So if there a way I can do this the GUI way (drag and drop and all that) without having to add myself in the group permissions for the /var/www/ folder?
Got my T2i a few days ago. Shot a bunch of short MOV files. Trying to do simple edits like trimming the beginning and ends. Nothing else.
Cinelerra 4 - no sound Kdenlive - aside from crashing all the time, renders with unacceptable artifacts. Lives - spends a long time making proxies then crashes Avidemux - crashes on save/render Kino - plays back first frame then last frame. Kinda funny but not. Open Movie Editor - Does nothing at all Open Shot - Can't find any libs PiTiVi - Tools? We don't need no stinkin' editing tools.
Will Lunmeria be released before I die? Will Lightworks be released before I die?
Is it time to retrench back into Windows 7 where there are numerous editors that actually work? Sure, costs money but the free stuff just dont work.
BTW, VLC plays the files back beautifully -- no skips, no jerks, sound completely in tact.
I have a remote server running Ubuntu, but the only computer that I have physical access to runs windows xp. Is there any way to edit the files remotely? Right now, I'm using ssh and then nano to edit the files, but I'd rather use a windows text editor (notepad++). I know I can use pscp to copy files, but every time I make a change to the file, I have to uploaded again to see the results (very tedious).
PS- the win xp computers im using are at my college. You CAN install software on them, but there's a firewall to the outside internet blocking SOME ports... SSH, port 80, port 8080 work fine right now. I can get admin access to the windows computer, and I have root control over the ubuntu one. Also, I can only use whatever computer is open... so I'd prefer to use a program that can be installed on a USB stick.
I haven't put this in the forums for any of the separate programs, because im having the same problem in all of them, im thinking maybe its a problem elsewhere?I recently got a Canon DSLR. It can save in Raw format, I use this function. Canons Raw format is "Whatever.CR2"F spot viewer and all editor programs see then and 'preview' them with no problem. The images appear to have no problem until you load them into GIMP (with UFRAW) UFRAW standalone, RAWStudio etc.
They load, but only as a small vertical rectangle. Often very purple in colour.I thought maybe it was something wrong with just the way it looked, so I just loaded one, went save as (a jpeg) and then loaded it up, it loaded as a small picture of the same purple-haze bar.Have I done something wrong? I googled it, downloaded UFRaw, even Ubuntu studio, same problem before and after studio installation. All these programs claim to read raw images.Just as an example, In RawStudio:I load up the folder of raw images. I can see all the images clearly with no problems in the preview slider up top. I can scroll through them and see them all no problem. When I click on one, it loads in the editing box as some weird bar (always vertical in orientation) often faintly resembling part of the photo but with seriously acid trip colours. Eg massive purple hazes, green everything etc.
sometimes i edit files in a remote server. i normally mount the remote drive via sshfs and edit a configuration file or two and some text files using gedit. after i upgraded to 10.04 i cannot save the files that i edit anymore. i can rename the file. but the weird thing is that i cannot save the file after i edit it. one of the files that i was editing is crontab.
my macbook(2008-2009) isnt booting ubuntu 10.10(on a usb drive) corectly. im just getting a black screen, where i can type in commands. now i found the scripts online, but how can i edit efi files either on mac or windows?
I used dvgrab to pull the video off of my Cannon HV30 HDV camcorder. Now I have a bunch of 5 minute clips at about a gig each. I need to edit these together and use a better file type. What should I convert to, and what program should I use for encoding and editing?
Ubuntu is installed on my external. Can I add/edit/manage files on the internal drive that Windows is on without messing anything up (provided I don't mess with system files)?
Is it possible to view and edit db3 files in linux? OpenOffice does not do it and dbview says it can't read version 83. Just wondering. I am not really firm with databases, but i remember that i did view databases in linux.
I have some pdf files on a usb stick which I want to edit, Evince cannot do this, and if I try to open in Libre there is no option to import pdf there either. Is there an app. or plugin for libre to allow this
I use a linux machine at work and a mac at home. I can ssh from my machine at home to my work machine. But the only editor that I have access to on the command line then is vi, which I don't like.
Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".
I have a directory with hundreds of html files. For all the files I have to: - delete all the row from the beginning of the file to the sentence "<img src="immagini/_navDxBottom.gif" />".
- delete all the rows from the sentence "<br clear="right" />" to the end of the file.
I just installed Ubuntu server 9.04 and am try to get it all set up but Ive run into a snag with Samba. I cant delete, add, or change files from my windows machine like I could before. Here is my minimalist Samba config that I used on my old ubuntu server:

[global] server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) security = SHARE map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes

Im sure its just one small thing Im forgetting..Its been a while since I played around with my server!
a friend of mines laptop died a few weeks ago and i said i would extract data off the drive for her... did this with dd and created a .image file. I have this image mounted so it is browseable, and we can copy files from it however i am unable to delete files from it?
You'd think it was not a big deal... but i'm running out of space!! and the .image is 90 odd gb. I know i "could" just get the disk and copy the files off she wants... but that would be too easy
I was attempting to set up my ubuntu 10.04 system to load Synergy before log in to eliminate the second keyboard and mouse on my desk using these instuctions. However, once I log in I get a quick terminal screen which flashes so quick I can't read it then I am put back to the log in screen. I'm pretty sure I just need to remove the syntax I added to the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file and the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup file and redo it (with less beer). The problem is that user account was the only user account I'd ever bothered setting up on this system and I can't get logged in.
Is there another account built in that I could use or do I need to hook the HD up to a SATA - USB cable and edit the files from another machine?
I need to change a game's screen resolution in a couple of .con files, but when I double click on them all I get is success in a little pop up window. Can I move them to my computer, edit them with a text editor, and reinsert them with read only privileges?
I have rented a remote dedicated fedora 7 system. The service provider provisioned the system and does not allow direct "root" access to the system.
I currently use putty to login into "user1", switch to "root" using su -, and then edit the file.
I would like to edit the "root" file directly from my home XP system which has a SFTP connection to the remote fedora 7 system (using Aptana RadRails).
I am not sure how to do that. I had 2 ideas but I am just guessing and afraid to proceed with so little knowledge.
I considered editing /etc/group and changing the line from root:x:0:root to
I want to edit files while in runlevel three. I am trying to learn how to navigate my entire system via CL. Whenever I use gedit in runlevel three, is says, "cannot open display"
Is there a utility to edit files without X11 fired up?
