Ubuntu Multimedia :: ESPN 3 Works, Move Networks Player Gone?
Apr 9, 2010
I have an AFL (Australian Football League) game streaming on the new ESPN 3 beta as I post, St. Kilda vs. Collingwood match from earlier today (Friday). Yes, I know it's already Saturday Down Under.Flawless so far in Firefox 3.6.3. I assume all that's needed is Flash. I do have Silverlight, VLC and Java plug-ins installed with Lucid AMD64 Beta 2.Somebody needs to try this in Karmic or whatever else you may be running.I love ESPN. Here's one less (huge) excuse for needing to run Windows.And I love watching Football that isn't American football. Soccer, Aussie Rules, Rugby

I have recently had problems a with Movie player. It seems to having trouble playing DVD's and video files. it has a tendency to stop/freeze and sometimes if I try move the progress bar or scroll back or forward it wil just instantly close the Movie Player. I'm wondering is there a way to check it for bugs or is there a more reliable/better quality player that I could get instead.

I have downloaded the recommended NVIDIA driver for my Quadro FX 1400 graphics card which has 256 MB RAM. I have my laptop in a docking station and from the docking station is a DVI to HDMI converter then HDMI cable to my TV (the idea is to use it as an internet TV slave! ). When I come to configuring the NVIDIA X Server, it correctly detects both my laptop screen and my TV via the HDMI connection. However, when I come to save the settings for the X server and go to restart it, it cannot save the configuration file. This is most annoying as it does not allow me to use the dualview I need.
The second problem comes when I use something like the BBC iplayer or anything that uses the flash player. I have the latest flash player with Firefox which works fine in non-full screen mode. However, when switching to full screen, the CPU load jumps to 100% and the playback is really jerky. Had this running the beloved windows XP before and could handle full screen no problems. I have seen a few posts here which show workarounds to zoom in on the small screen on Firefox but would prefer to run it in the full screen mode.

I have a pretty beat-up laptop, on which the inbuilt wireless doesn't work, and so I now have an ASUS WL-167g, which is acting up!It almost always connects to the required networks without an issue, but then once I'm connected it's REALLY slow on some of them! For example, while I'm at school, it works flawlessly! And at a couple of friends' houses, it works too! however, at home, and at a couple of other places, despite the fact that it connects, its so slow, that google takes like 5 mins to load and searching for anything on google leads it to time out!! This happens whether I'm right next to the router (full signal strength) or 2 floors up (at like 3 bars strength)!
It's getting pretty frustrating to have to swap my lan cable between my desktop and laptop constantly, and also to not be able to use my laptop away from my desk!Does anyone know what might be going on??Also, while i have you guys here! I have another problem -- with the inbuilt card.. Initially, it wouldn't work at all.. but more recently, it has started to function (it connects and works on my home network fine) the only problem is that about 10 mins after I turn the wireless switch on on my laptop, it hangs! (EVERYTIME) (if it's relevant, my laptop is a SONY VAIO VGN-S46GP). Again, any input would be appreciated!!

I have a system 76 panp7, which uses rtl819xSE for it's driver. I also have a Toshiba laptop that uses the same driver, I'm getting the same symptoms from them. The panp7 is using x64, while the toshiba is on 32 bit.
On my home network, at the local coffee shop, and pretty much everyone I know's home wi-fi everything works wonderfully.
On the university network, I get a useful connection about 1/3 of the time. The wireless disconnects randomly, and once disconnected will not re-associate to any network without a restart.
I've tried turning wi-fi off and back on again to re-establish connection. Reboots will get me another chance at connecting to the uni-network, or let me connect elsewhere without a problem.
I strongly suspect that it's the school's fault, since it only happens on their network. but IT won't fix it unless I can prove that it's on their end(and I'll likely need to fight uphill for that).

I have a DVD with a error located at a certain time. Each time I watch the DVD and then come to that point Movie Player (or vlc player) returns a error. Now I want to rip this DVD but all the rippers I tried return a error at that point when they try to rip it. Rippers I tried:
- dvd::rip
- FFMPEG
- Acidripper
- Avidemux
Now I want to know ain't there a ripper which can read over these errors and still make a decent rip?

For the life of me, I can not get Banshee to work with an iPod on FC12-x64. Mind you , I can browse over to the iPod's data directories and play music directly from the iPod. Banshee just does not recognize the iPod.

I've been away from Linux for a while, so I need to get informed about some of the 32- vs. 64-bit issues concerning video players and codecs. So, what is everyone using these days?
More specifically, is it possible to play, e.g., .wmv files with 64-bit Kaffeine (my favorite player) or any other 64-bit video player? If so, then which combination of player and codec should I use?

Just recently instralled CentOS 5.3 and I'm loving it! Not a pro by all means in linux, but i do know my way around a bit (previously used RHEL, Fedora and Ubuntu distros).
As my topic states, for some stupid reason Flash works just fine in Xfce, but when i change desktop environments it comes up with the screen "You need to install Adobe Flash Player 8" or something to that effect. Seriously... the f**k?!
Mind you I only found that by mistake - spent all night reading faqs, blogs, fora etc. trying to get the bloody thing working in KDE - full of obsolete tips and URLs unfortunately (plenty of help running 32-bit flash in 64-bit kernel!). I then changed to Xfce to check something else, and it worked fine, no warnings!!

I have a wireless network at home. My home laptop connects without any issue.I have a wireless network at work. My work laptop connects without any issue.If I take my work laptop home, it can see the network but cannot connect to it. I've checked the passphrase and that's fine, I've deleted the network from the Network Manager profile and re-created it - no luck.
The only thing I can think of is that I had to change the wireless router network channel at one point. I think that the work PC could access the network before that (but it was a while ago). I've tried changing the channel back, but to no avail. I have to keep the channel at its new setting anyway to avoid a loss of signal.What sort of things should I be checking/changing to get home connectivity on my work PC? The wired network is fine, but my wife draws the line at me looming over her desk with a red cable plugged into the back of my laptop.

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

I am running debian testing dist-upgraded to sid with the latest gnome-shell. All is fine, I have recently moved to a new house and noticed that network manager wont detect my home wireless network. It does scan for networks and locates SSIDS from other local networks including my neighbours wifi where I can connect but will not detect mine. The modem router used is a zte quite popular in Greece and I have the broadcom wl driver installed. By the way since it is a dual boot machine - nasty win7 connect just fine and so does my mobile phone...

I have just had a really frustrating week of trying to get ubuntu and windows 7 to place nice together. Finally got both running correctly on the same machine.Problem I am having now is in ubuntu the nvidia drivers it told me to download and install use something called x server.I have played with every option I can find in the settings, and I dont see one to fix my problem.
Put simply I can not move any window from one screen to the other. It acts like two septate desktops. This wouldn't even be so bad if when I opened firefox or chrome on the other monitor it would open on that monitor. But neither does. They both open on monitor one no matter what screen I open them from.Ideally I would like to be able to grab a window and move it to the other monitor and vis versa just like you can in any windows install.Can anyone help me do this please? Or at least tell me how to make a browser stay open on the screen I open it from?

I could use Wireless network. I could see several different networks in my range. Then suddenly the network stoppedworking, and I can no longer see any networks under "Wireless networks".The Wired networks works fine.I tried upgrading ubuntu, but nothing changed. Just to confirm, I rebooted the computer in Windows Vista (Dual boot) andconfirmed that Wireless worked fine there. No hardware problem then.The suggestions I have found on this and other forums suggest looking at the output from iwconfig and ifconfig. But since I'm a n00b at Ubuntu I don't know what to make of it.
This is the output:
emil@emils:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.
I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.
HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:
- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.
- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.
How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?

Does it need a displaylink adapter for Linux?

Just built myself an HTPC from scratch and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it (using XBMC for now). I'm familiar with Linux and have been dabbling with it for many years but in the end my main computer runs OS X.Trying to modify a script I found elsewhere that will auatomagically rename and move downloaded TV shows into a preexisting file hierarchal system. I have an automator function on my Mac that was put together for PLEX but it will obviously not run in Ubuntu.Here's what I've got so far. Remind you I'm not much of a programmer:
Code:
!/bin/bash
cd /home/htpc/Downloads

Im running the upgrade to natty 64. My cd rom drive works when it wants to. when i put the disk in the system wont recognize it. so i just leave the disk in when i go to work. when i turn the comp back on 8-16 hrs later it will show up as ready to burn. i flashed back to windows and the drive wouldn't work at all, but on 10.04 it worked all the time. do you think that the drive is just being temperamental and is on its way out? or a kernel issue? If I shut the comp off and turn it right back on with the medium left in it, it will recognize the disk. this will not work on a restart.
