I'm new to ubuntu and I decided to try Sonata, but I can't configure MPD. Sonata uses localhost by default but it's already used by Apache. I tried disabling Apache but it still doesn't work. What IP should I use to be able to use Apache and Sonata in the same time ?
View 2 RepliesI've been at this for the last hour. I just put a Hauppage WinTV-TVR-1800 into my machine, rebooted and installed MythTV. I set up the card, the video source and the input as well as configured a few random channels. I click WATCH TV in the menu, it goes to a screen saying, "Please Wait....", then it brings me back to the menu. There's no error, is there some sort of log file.
Here it is run in the terminal:

I recently decided to upgrade my old desktop instead of buying a new one. I figured I would go ahead and max out the specs on the motherboard while I was at it. I had a standard AGP slot and the best graphics card I could find for AGP was the Radeon HD 4650 (AGP 1GB GDDR2). So I ordered the parts and went on my merry way.I installed the card and did a fresh install of 9.10, hoping to max perform my "new" system. The card was acting kinda fishy on the live boot and I had to reboot a few times before it magically worked. I got installed etc and when I booted it worked, but it turned out performance was painful. When using Firefox the delay when scrolling down the screen was literally unbearable. No problem right, I used the restricted drivers app to go ahead and install the ATI drivers hoping that it would auto-magically fix things.
System booted but once I logged in the screen would just fill with freezing and garbage so it was impossible to get anything done. I experimented with all three options but this is what ended up being my solution. Download your ATI driver using this site: AMD Graphics Drivers & Software Just select Linux in the OS Select column.
I downloaded camE and camorama in hope of controling my webcam's framerate for skype because right now it's 24-30 which gives me dark video. But if I lower the frame rate to something like 10, the video magically brightens. camE doesn't do anything..like it turns on my webcam and does some ftp..fails..turns of my webcam ..back to normal. Camorama can't connect to my webcame. Cheese, guvideo are successfully able to conect to my webcam and play around with it.What I want to do is edit my /dev/video0 or some file from where I can fix the framerate for skype.

I have INTEX TV tuner card. i'm trying to configure in ubuntu for tvtime. The card has the saa7130 or saa7134 philipse chipset.
lspci | grep -i saa713
output:
Code:
00:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
after the installation, the card was detected and /dev/video0 was created but dmesg indicated that the card is not among the ones listed as supported and since card did not have EEPROM, the card was not up and running right away.i have edited /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf and added options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Code:
$sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf
added:
Code:
options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Then CTRL+X to exit
still it did not work. tvtime would always say no signal and tvtime-scanner never picked up any channels. then i followed instruction given by rsramkee [URL]. edited saa7134-cards.c and deployed new kernel linux-2.6.36.2 with changes.i rebooted machine to windows selected one channel in tv tuner software of windows, again rebooted machine to ubuntu (i have dual boot windows XP and ubuntu 2.6.35.23). tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS (No sound), but not be able to tune any other stations.In mplayer able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound.
command:
Code:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:chanlist=us-cable:alsa:adevice=hw.0,1:amode=1:audiorate=48000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0:norm=PAL
i followed instruction given by http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7134-alsa to set up sound. loading the loopback module with the command:
$ pactl load-module module-loopback
Now tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound, but not be able to tune any other stations. Not be able to tune any stations.dmesg output:
Code:

i'm not be able to tune any stations using tvtime and xawtv. if channel is not selected in windows OS for more then 1 hour then tvtime displays message no signal, same message in tvtime-scaner (No sound).
After installation of the new hardware I activated the ATI closed source driver. There is an issue with the screens
1st screen, via DVI: I cannot change to the native screen resolution
2nd screen, via VGA: The background of any window is not drawn.
Means: I can see lots of parts of other windows after moving or closing them.
Therefore I was searching for an alternative and found the hint to uninstall the ATI driver and use the open source one. After uninstall and reboot (requested by a parallel system update), some boot messages I have no screen output anymore. Means: two black screens. These are going into sleep mode after a few seconds. How can I get a running system again? Optimal would be, that I have full support for both screens. Same happens in failsave mode.
System environment:
Ubuntu 10.04
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 4G RAM, motherboard ALiveNF6G-DVI (internal graphic deactivated), ATI Radeon HD 5450
I am using the following:
ubuntu 10.04 LTS
firefox 3.6.17
totem 2.30.2
As it stands, if I play an mp3 file via the web, firefox will launch totem which will in turn launch goom.
Looks nice, but I would like to turn off the Visualisation which takes up the entire CPU. I try under firefox preferences, Edit->Preferences->Plugins, there isn't anything there I can change.
I try under firefox Utils->Plugins and there isn't anything there I can change.I try using gconf-editor, there are different settings there I can play with like: Under /apps/totem/visual it has the setting "GOOM: what a GOOM!", I try and delete it, it doesn't change anything.
Still with gconf-editor I try changing /apps/totem/plugins/screensaver turning the setting of "active" to uncheck. No change, goom still comes up with the fantastic graphics I just don't want. Still with gconf-editor I try changing /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/visualization from "goom" to blank. Again, no change.
If I look under the process list while totem is running goom I see the following: /usr/lib/totem/totem-plugin-viewer --plugin-type cone --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; fr; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110422 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.17 --referrer http://blah blah blah blah.mp3 --mimetype audio/mpeg
There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can change the command line which is being passed to totem to make it behave differently and turn off the goom visualizations. I have tried starting up totem as a stand alone application, there I go into Edit->Preferences->Display and make sure the choice for "Show visual effects when an audio file is played" is unticked. That gives me the results I am after for totem as a stand alone application, which is no Visualizations whem audio file is being played BUT It makes no change for totem running as a plugin in firefox.
I have been trying to install Squeeze from the 6.0.1a KDE CD-1 plus the Debian repos. I just cannot get X to work. I get similar bad results to those mentioned by other users having similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes works.
Basic hardware information:
Desktop PC, whole 40 GB disk used for install
Graphics card: none Video controller on motherboard: VIA Technologies S3 UniChrome VGA controller (about 8 years old)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 1280 x 1024 (about 8 years old)
Some things I've already tried: in rescue mode, as root, in /etc/X11X -configuremove file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf basically everything mentioned in threads in past two months regarding users who cannot get X to work reinstalling 100x with every choice for the installer I can think of
What happens: when doing the install, contrary to expectation, I am never prompted for any of the hardware information which the documentation at debian.org says I should have on hand (is that a good sign or a bad sign?)
No matter how I try to do the install,I always seem to get a nongraphical installation, so I try this: as root:apt-get install xorg in /etc/X11X -configthen move generated file (which looks like X didn't try to create an actual configuration file) to /etc/X11/xorg.config as non-root user:startx I get black screen (or a tiny tiny konsole at upper left) and system hangs
How can I tell whether this an X misconfiguration? How can I fix it? How can I tell whether I simply need a driver? Where do I look? How can I tell whether my hardware is simply incompatible with Squeeze? What do I need to replace? Do I need to get a new monitor in order to use Squeeze? Do I need to buy a new motherboard with newer video controller? Do I need to buy a graphics card? Which?

I assembled a small multimedia center based on XBMC Live (Ubuntu). And cannot configure bluetooth. In older versions of bluez was hcid.conf file, through which I can set options iscan, pscan and lm (link mode). In new versions of bluez 4.xx instead of this file is used main.conf and these parameters there is not provided. How apply these settings to the bluetooth adapter at system startup and when I connect the adapter to the usb port? In general, the system behaves is not clear. Sometimes the adapter after the system is turned on, and sometimes it turns off.
