Ubuntu Multimedia :: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Pictures
Dec 13, 2010
Ubuntu 10.10. All things have been working well and as expected until tonight. I was updating some flac files using easyTAG (AAC), adding pictures and changing things a little, then dropping them into a Sansa Fuze+. All things I've done with this setup before and with no problems. I close easyTAG and try to open: Places/ Pictures. Instead of the normal brouser up pops easytag at the pictures directory.
I test all other Places. For each Place selected easyTAG opens instead of the usual brouser. I go to synaptic and remove easyTAG and then restart the system. All is now normal again (except that easyTAG is missing). I reload easyTAG and once again it has put itself as the preferred tool to view directories. How do I restore things to normal and what have I done?
Running Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows7 on a 64-bit HP Pavilion dv7 Laptop. Everything works in Windows. Everything works in Ubuntu, except for 2 things.1) I can live with not being able to enable/disable wifi.) I cannot read photos from an SD card plugged into the laptops SD card reader. When I open the SD card in Ubuntu, I can see the file name, but the thumbnails show messed up pictures. Usually, the bottom half of the photo is solid green, and there are usually lines running through the photo, or it is divided into quadrants with one quadrant being ok, but the rest having the green and/or lines.I assume the driver for the card reader is not correct. Card reader works fine in Windows. So I have to reboot into windows, copy pictures from reader to a folder, then reboot into Ubuntu and I can see and open the photos just fine. Just cannot read and copy them from the card while in Ubuntu.
I used to be able to play MPC (musepack) in Audacious but can't any more. I have the Audacious 2.1.1 package and libmpcdec3 installed, running Ubuntu 9.10
i decided to go ubuntu all the way in my laptop... it's already a week and freaking happy, however i'm new in linux so i wonder if someone can tell me how to add pictures to my iphone.
Today I added more fonts to ~/.fonts directory. I launched Opera and the fonts are gone funny [image attached]. I don't have this problem in Firefox of Google Chrome/Chromium. I changed fonts in Opera >> Preferences but to no avail. Also I deleted .opera directory. No joy. The only solution I've found is to delete .fonts directory (but I want those fonts for other applications).
I have spent some time in photoshop. And I remember a useful feature in it, where Photoshop can tell you info about the image, by pressing on the properties or something. Photoshop can say what the picture was taken with (mobile / camera) and what date.
I run Ubuntu now is there anyone who knows a program which can do the same for Ubuntu? I can't find anything in GIMP
I know that it's possible to create panoramic photos very easily with hugin. But I would like to create a script for nautilus where I select my picture and then create a panoramic without any questions.I guess it's possible but I can't find on google, each time I find something about hugin.Is it possible to call from the command line and hide the interface during the process ?
I cant get my iphone to work with Ubuntu beyond transferring pictures. I have tried ifuse, isky, gtkpod etc. nothing seems to work, and many of the times I run into errors messages when following the tutorials. Ubuntu 64 bit 9.04 acer aspire 8730
When I go in a file with pictures and right click on it I tell it to arrange pictures by modification date but when I start viewing the pictures and click on next then it shows them to me in Alphabetical order.I am using Eye of GNOME 2.32.0 to view picturesHow do I get this application to show me the pictures by modification date
I have done this in the past with little effort using a easy to use GUI picture editor. Now I can seem to find the function in any program I have installed. I have digikam, fspot and gthumb image viewer. I am now not sure if I lost the program that I had been using in an update or if I am just looking in the wrong place.
In short, can someone suggest a simple way to group together jeps as a video with audio in the background. I want to be able to upload these to ......
I am just asking because i want to be sure, that sensitive data can not be extracted from my computer unencrypted, using cached files. For instance i would not want my girlfriend's picture to be uploaded to some random site, whereas it normally stays on an AES encrypted volume, but i viewed it once, so it was available in some cache folder, unencrypted - yea, sadly, it happened in windows -.
I just changed my password now every time I start my computer the keyring wants my old password and it keeps doing weird things even after I type it in. Like Ubuntu will say No keyring found or something to that effect anyway.
when I start firefox, it starts to play funny tones after a few seconds (even if I don't open a website). If I deactivate the Shockwave Flash plugin it stops.
I have this problem, however the solution given there is outdated- There is no such menu entry (I tried to see if it was disabled, but it wasn't in the menu editor either).
So how would I do this in Karmic?
Edit: I found it. As a reference: Open Nautilus, go to Edit-> Preferences -> "Media" tab -> Photos -> Your choice.
I want a program similar to Windows Movie Maker that can record audio and import pictures that I made with GIMP and put them on a timeline so that I can make an animation.
i need some program like "amor" screenshot here: it's funny emoticon that is walking moving and jumping on the screen and windows. I remember when i had WindowSS$ ... the problem of this program is that i cannot set numbers of creatures and also creatures from here are ugly and i would like to slightly larger creatures ... i know this program i stupid and totally useless for people but exist something other just for fun ?
I moved some video files to a fedora samba server and when I opened one tonight my screen went black and my hard disk went nuts. I saw something about caught unattended installation right before my system rebooted.
I found this under auth.log Aug 29 02:59:39 polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (system bus name :1.30 [/$
It won't let me update to 10.10 it says 'Something wicked happened and can't connect to the repository' Is this normal? Say what you want about Windows, but at least Windows updated successfully.
For some reason, a while a go my flash player (Adobe, ubuntu software center install) doesn't seem to like ...... Whenever I try to watch video's on ..... I get the error that Shockwave flash player has crashed. This also occurs when I try to maximize videos on hulu. It crashes in both chrome and firefox, and the funny thing is I can watch ..... videos that are embedded in other sites, just not on ......com. Does anybody know what might have happened?
I've read a few threads, but I'm not sure that I have found the answer. I have a Dell E4310 laptop (company issued). It comes with the Intel HD Grpahics chipset. I've read people giving it great reviews so I am hopeful.I am running Natty. My first mystery was "what happened to the enhanced desktop effects", but I found a post saying they were removed in 11.04 -- apparently they just work if your video supports it. I've installed all the compiz packages including the enhancements. I am able to go into the Compiz Settings Manager and see all the modules. I am able to turn them on and off and change the settings, but anytime I try to use any of the keyboard shortcuts nothing happens.
I'm still relatively new to the world of Linux. Can someone tell me how I figure out whether or not my graphics card can support Compiz in 11.04?
In FC 15 x64, I can no longer issue "shutdown -rF now". I get tagged on the "-F" option."-F" seems to have disappeared from the man page as well. The "-F" option was to force a "fsck" on my next boot.What happened to the "-F" option? Has fsck disappeared when we went from ext3 to ext4?
I'm using fedora 11 and though ssh works perfectly , scp doesn't work at allwhat i tried to do: scp ttt.txt jojo@192.168.2.2:~and nothing happend so i typed:scp -v ttt.txt jojo@192.168.2.2:~
Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host 192.168.2.2, user jojo, command scp -v -t ~ OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k-fips 25 Mar 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
After a terrible problem I had with x-server, I decided to opt for a clean install. So, naturally I poped in the 10.10 LiveCD (from Canonical), deleted the Ubuntu Partiton (ext4) and swap, and entered the installer. I have a 40gb Vista partition, 90gb media partition, and 20gb unallocated free space. Once I get to allocate drive space in the installation, I get three options - Install alongside other operating systems, erase and use the entire disk, or specify partitions manually. If I click install alongside other operation systems, it tries to take space away from my media partition to install ubuntu. I'm not too advanced with Ubuntu, so I don't think I'm going to specify my own. I don't know how much to give swap etc, etc, etc.What ever happened to use the largest amount of continuous free space? I have 20gb free I would love ubuntu to use.
