But with user2, when i start to read a video file, i have no image, just a black screen.The sound is ok, the time is running normally, but no image. *It tested with vlc and gnome-media-player, it is the same. *I have no error message, when I start the program in a console. *I suspected a permission problem, and i checked all the groups, but i don't see any difference between user1 and user2.

I am using firefox 3.6.1.5 (same prob with opera!) and flash 1.0.2.r152 in ubuntu 10.10 with compiz disabled and GPU Override set to true (no difference with false..)

This and the a2dp-skips are my last problems before a perfect setup.

I have a user account which is required to run as part of the operating system and as a service. I am currently attempting to install my companies software on an Ubuntu desktop via wine just for the purpose of finding out if it's do-able.
Is there a way, in Ubuntu, for a user account to be given the local rights assignment to act as part of the operating system and to function as a service in the background?
Apache is run as www as is all the files/folders. People are uploading via FTP, scp, so the problem is if I chmod so everyone can read, then rsync as a user it works until new files are added which then my ; if rsync fails with a permission denied. Now I can add a chmod in the script so everyone can read, but since www can already read, I figured I would just change my script to use www. I added the ssh key to his authorized_keys file, but when I try to just ssh in I see this in the secure file;
server sshd[29539]: User www not allowed because account is locked
sshd[29539]: Failed none for invalid user www from ip port 54983 ssh2
Now I read a few places already saying I need to add a password to the account, etc. but before I jump and try all I read, 1st major one, will this now break apache? Will this affect any startup things, etc. and .... will that unlock that user for ssh in or is there another preferred method?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed likewise 6.0 on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and I was able to login as a Domain user. However my domain user account is not showing on the "User Settings" panel (I can only see locally created accounts).

Does anyone know a way around this?
I have a ASUS K52J.I tried cheese.It was initially upside down. Then I tried Video for linux device preferences.When I checked vertival flip, that fixed cheese. But it was still upside down in skype.I tried downloading skype from the webpage, and from synaptic.I tried running skype in sudo.I tried: export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3 && L

When skype loads up, i go to the options>video>test. The green light comes on by the built in webcam, then i get a segmentation fault and skype crashes: /usr/local/bin/skype: line 2:4055 Segmentation fault LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
Then I tried:LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so then running skype and i got the segmentation fault again.I may have missed some threads on this but everyone else seemed to be thanking someone for fixing their problem by now.Finally I tried threating my computer with a Windows installation. But I think both me and the computer knew it was a hollow threat,
It seems to have only recently starting happening. I've tried VLC and Movie Player, and different types of format such as AVI and 3gp. Anything I could try to eliminate things?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently created a new user account in ubuntu linux, and created a file called xsession so that I can boot directly into xmbc when I log into that account. Is there anyway to delete the home folder for that account. I can view the file but when I try to delete it is says I do not have apporite permisions to delete the file.
I removed the account and deleted the group but it still shows up when I type in the address /home/xmbc
Is there anyway I can delete this file. It also will not let me create any new user accounts is there any way I can fix these prolbems without totaly reinstalling the system.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to add a samba user account on an Ubuntu machine called "video" like I had on another Ubuntu machine, but it's telling me it already exists. At one point I had added the user via terminal, but the user did not show up in system-config-samba (the popular samba gui a lot of people use). So now I'm trying to re-add him and it's not working. Likewise, if I use terminal to sudo smbpasswd -x video, it says failed to find an entry for that user.
As far as I can tell, the user doesn't exist - yet I can't add him because it "already exists."
the OEM account was created when I just installed Maverick (10.10) and now I've changed the password on that account and want to create a daily user account, cannot locate where I can do that.I want to learn Linux badly but am completely in the dark beginner right now.

I see how to add a user with a full name using:
Code:
And I've seen that if I delete my user account, and create a new one with the same UID/GID, that it would have access to my files.
I was changing my GUI settings in XFCE in my root user account on Xubuntu when suddenly I was logged out and the computer shut down.
(I have done this before with no such trouble...)
Now I can't log into my root account all I get is a blank screen for a few seconds then I'm back at the log-in screen, the other account works fine.
(This is on my Xubuntu 10.10 laptop BTW...)
So I was creating a backup user on my Ubuntu machine, and realized that there was already one there. I wanted to have a user account that only had permission to scp data archives to my backup directory. Is there already a mechanism in place via this backup user to do just that? Or does this account have other uses and should be left alone?

I inevitably get some weird green band at the bottom of the frame in the converted video. I know that there's some weird pixel stretching going on here, because the NTSC standard for 16:9 is 720x480 with rectangular pixels, and the 1080 version has square pixels, so I'm guessing the green band is an artifact of that process?
After today's sudo upgrade on Karmic amd64, I am able to login only as root on my xubuntu system. Tried to change password on my user account but the result is the same.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEver since I upgraded from karmic to lucid my user account has been really buggy. The other profiles on the computer are acting normal but I believe mine is acting strangely because of the way I had my desktop set up before I upgraded (conky and a terminal on my desktop, compiz). Is there a way to reset my account to the default settings? I figured if I could delete my account and recreate it everything would be okay but I can not delete the account.
