I just installed Natty. I'm not really sure how to call the top bar in Unity (the one that has the clock, network indicator, etc...), so I'll call it "notification bar" in this post
I'd like to replace Banshee with Songbird as my music player. That is, I'd like to get notifications of the current song and be able to control it from the notification bar.
I currently use mail-notification to alert me to new email, it sits in the system tray. When a new mail comes in it alerts me as such. I DO NOT have to have thunderbird open or running to be notified. I want to replace mail-notification with indicator messages. I want the same functionality that I got with mail-notification. That is, to have an icon sitting in the notification area that alerts me when new mail arrives. I do not want to have thunderbird open for this to occur.
I have lib-notify installed. I have the notify add-on installed in thunderbird, I have indicator-messages installed. I have thunderbird.desktop in /usr/share/applications I have a file called thunderbird that has one line which is the path to the desktop file above in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ With this when i click on the icon in the notification area i DO see the listing for thunderbird, but the icon is not correct, it has a black bacground with a red circle in it with a slash. When i click on this item thunderbird launches. I do not recieve notificaion messages (i.e the letter icon does not turn green) unless i open thunderbird and check for messages manually. This defeats the purpose of having a notification in the system tray. Additionally changes made to /usr/share/applicatons/thunderbird.desktop are not reflected in the indicator.
Has songbird officially dropped support for the Linux dist of songbird??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI really like listening to music, and Rhythmbox is okay, but I've been looking up various other Music players for Ubuntu, and many users have a lot to say about Songbird. However, can't figure out how to install it, or if it's even possible now?

Is there any way to make emerald apply to Songbird? I've got all my maximize-minimize-close buttons on the left side of the windows now, only Songbird refuses to adapt to the new style.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm well aware of Songbird no longer being supported for Linux but I know there is .deb package out there somewhere. Hopefully in the latest release for Linux as well. 've searched but have found nothing. The thing is, I can't find anything 'I like' other than Songbird. It's such a shame its no longer supported.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI know, Songbird does not currently support Linux... I got the x64 .deb file off this website (http://skyzim.com/songbird-1-4-3-installer/) and installed it without issue. I got it up and running then screwed something up with the graphics and needed to reinstall. Now when I get the same file off the website, install it, then try to run I get an error "GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/glib/gmem.c:157: failed to allocate 14145530384 bytes". I tried doing a sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins as was recommended elsewhere to no avail. Anyone know how to get songbird up and running again? I did a "Removal" through synaptic to uninstall the first time, perhaps that is an issue?

I love using linux. The main reason I use windows is because of my huge music collection and the lack of good programs to sort and open my music. There are a few apps nowadays that work good. The one I want to use is Songbird. I went to Ubuntu for about a week because all that stuff seemed to work good with it, but i couldnt configure my system as i wanted so i went back to slackware. Now I cant get these fancy media players to work. Songbird seems to want GNOME to work. Slackware 13 does not come with GNOME...

If no one knows how to find .deb packages could they let me know how i could install the .tar.gz format offered on the website?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with the Songbird client that we normally download from repositories. It is slow, unstable, and crashes a lot. So I finally figured out that if you download the latest developer version, it is fast, stable, and hasnt crashed yet! The only downside is not all plugins are compatible, but it is still awesome to use, its my favorite audio player in Ubuntu. [URL]

Does anyone knows anyway to integrate Sunbird with Ubuntu 10.04? i'm not looking for integration of Sunbird with Thunderbird. that's accomplished with Lightning... What i for is something like an alert when i have an event or even integration with the time/calendar Ubuntu standard application.
other thing is: I installed Sunbird well not realy it's a standalone How can i add it the lists of known applications? like when i type Firefox in terminal Firefox pops up.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.I installed KDE 4.4 and removed Gnome.I want Firefox to integrate properly in KDE.I installed this Firefox themeand followed the instructions at the bottom of that page to get a KDE style file picker.I also installed the Plasma Notify extension.My problem is that if I download a file and right-click>open containing folder in Firefox's download window the containing folder does not appear, but instead a window appears asking me to choose an applicationWhen I was using Firefox with Gnome doing this opened Nautilus with the directory containing the downloaded file.I tried to fix this by choosing Dolphin in the Choose Application window
View 4 Replies View RelatedHas anyone gotten Songbird to play m4a files in Slackware? Is so, 'fess up! Songbird forums say this is possible in Linux with the right codec yet most in the forums, including me, fail. (There's also a plugin that doesn't work in linux.) All my other players handle m4a fine in Slackware 13, so I know I've got the proper codec.

Now when I click Songbird, it tells me it's starting down in the Window List, but it never pops up. I've tried all three methods from here to install it afterwards... none of them I got to work. Anyone have a clue what could possibly going on? This is on Ubuntu 9.10(32bit)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently switched from Banshee to Songbird, and am loving it. Especially now that there is a ppa for it, which I just discovered. However, i have tried to download an addon and a theme, and apparently it just told me to restart after installing, but it doesn't show up when I go to View>Feathers. It just shows the default theme, Gonzo. Has anyone had this problem, or knows how to fix it?

I got a problem with my Songbird (1.4.3) on a Fedora 12 64 bit. When I play music and the first song is over, the song changes but the little loudspeaker symbol in the list, that displays the currently playing song, doesn't move to this song. It just stays on the first played one and also the title of the first one is displayed above the progress bar. But that's not all, when the song should change again (from second to third song), it won't do so. The second played song starts again and will be repeated again and again and Meanwhile the mentioned symbol just stays in front of the first song. Only if I press the "next" button two times the third song will be played. So I got to press "next" two times after every two songs. That makes listening to music nearly impossible. The problem occurred after installing a lot of updates (I had no fast internet connection for months so I now had to install all at once), so it is difficult to say which package causes the issue. Before that Songbird worked all fine for months. I would be glad to provide further information, but neither running songbird in terminal, nor the songbird error console shows up any error related to this behaviour. I also tried to delete the .songbird2 folder in my userhome, but it made no difference at all. Normally i would get the latest verion of the software at first, but since songbird dropped linux support, there is no newer linux version than the one installed on my system.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution.
I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.
I downloaded the new Opera, everything looks quite nice and everything. Now, quick question, is it possible to integrate it with bespin's xbar? I have seen a few post in blogs around the interwebz claiming this can be done.
