Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound And Speed Up Multimedia Files In Natty 11.04?
May 9, 2011so i don't know what happened, but all multimedia files are suddenly speed up/and-or with no sound (ubuntu 11.04 with all recent updates, firefox 4, adobe flash-instick etc.)
if i try to play a flash movie on for instance videos it's sped-up with no sound, if i play an mp3 song (i use exaile) the bar is sped up and there's no sound either, if i start an avi movie (vlc) it's not sped up but there's no sound though.
when i log in to the system the logging in jingle is not playing, so basically the sound just got turned off for some reason but according to the soundbar it should be on.
this problem started just recently. i don't know if it has to do with recent updates or that my log in re-started a couple of times after using a kde program (kmess).
Networking :: See Whether Wget Can Be Used To Generate Actual Url Hits On A Webpage?
Jan 16, 2011I am trying to see whether wget can be used to generate actual url hits on a webpage. This does not look good so far�. I changed the following lines in /etc/wgetrc to:
Code: http_proxy=http : / /<proxy_ip>:<port>/ use_proxy on Output :
Code: root# wget -c <url>/ > /dev/null
--2011-01-16 12:26:38-- <url>
Connecting to <proxy_ip>:<port>... connected.

2011-01-16 12:26:39 (88,9 KB/s) - `index.html.3' saved [50548] This does NOT generate a hit on the actual web page! It does not seem like the, > /dev/null part is working either... How can I get this to work?
General :: Script To Tar Up Files When A Partition Hits A Certain Use Percentage
Apr 19, 2011I am in need to create a script that queries how large a partition is and when it hits a certain percentage (say 90%) it will execute another script that tars up certain files (or they could just be part of the same script). I would create a cronjob that runs this script once a day.
I have the script that tars up the files I need, sets permissions, etc. (btw, the files in question are audit logs). I just need the part that runs something like a df -h and takes the use percentage of the /var partition in that query and if that percentage is greater than/ equal to 90%, it kicks off the tar script.
Here is a sniplet of the df -h with just the /var partition shown:

So, when the cronjob sees that the Use% is >= 90%, it would kick off the tar script...if not above 90%, it closes.
General :: Grep: Return An User Message When No Hits?
Jun 13, 2011I have ASCII files to parse that 48 hours old or more ; I can identify them like so
Code:
find . -name "FILE*TXT" -mtime +1 -exec ls -ltas '{}' ';'
Some files have a list of hardware errors (we test electronic components), some have none. If the file name has no errors, I still want to display a message like so
Code:
grep ^err R*VER && echo "No error"
FILEA.TXT:err->USB3910err
FILED.TXT:err No Error
This grep statement works but it seemingly overrides the find() statement above if I run both at the same time... How can I combine the two statements to create a report that lists the filename and error(s) like so
Code:
FILEA.TXT Button3320err
FILEB.TXT USB3235err
FILEC.TXT IR Remote2436err
FILED.TXT No error
Is it possible to return "No error" with the file name without error?
Programming :: Script For Searching Through Messages For Multiple FTP Hits
Oct 25, 2010My script looks really crap and messy, the logic isn't great and I'm not hugely happy with it. Also it echo's $i instead of an actual IP address (line 10). How to improve this. It basically searches through /var/log/messages for multiple FTP hits and when the hit count is higher than a specific number the IP is added to a config file and ftp is restarted. There are some obvious flaws in my script.
Code:
MAXHITS=0
TOPHITS=`grep "FTP session closed." /var/log/messages* | awk '{print $7}' | sed -e 's/^.*[//' -e 's/].*$//' | uniq -c | sort -nr`
HITNUMB=`echo $TOPHITS | awk '{print $1}'`
IPHIT=`echo $TOPHITS | awk '{print$2}'`
HIGHIP=`echo $TOPHITS | grep $HITNUMB | grep $IPHIT | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ $HITNUMB -gt $MAXHITS ]; then
for i in $HIGHIP;
do
echo $i
sed -i '78s/$/,$i/' /opt/etc/proftpd.conf
/root/ftp restart
done
else
echo "not greater than $MAXHITS"
fi
I'm not even sure what will happen if I get multiple responses for my $TOPHITS. It would be cool if it could search for IP's already blacklisted somehow, it might actually be easier to just create a file with a set of blacklisted IP's or something.
Programming :: Script To Search And Count Hits From Some Country
Mar 25, 2011I need something to make a script that will search some logs and extract IP hits from one country only. Let's say UK. I guess I need to use GeoIP or some database. I just need a very simple bash, perl, php script that will do this job. Just search threw logs (apache) and then give me number of hits found from UK.

Feb 22, 2010I haven't recompiled ny kernel in a while, but whenever I did it, it was all pretty easy. Make menuconfig; (adjust); make && make modules_install, and copy over bzImage in */arch/* and System.map to /boot and stick in new entry into grub menu.lst.However, this time, I must be missing something, because I get kernel panic on booting up to the new kernel. Is there a step I'm missing?Certainly, I was looking in /etc/rc.d and there is a rc.modules<kernelver> script in there. I wondered if I need make a new one ... although when I looked over it, it seem only to be required when forcing particular modules.

Apr 30, 2011Having finally got comfortable with ManDVD, but only having used it for a couple of weeks, I've had to get my head around something new, AGAIN, after finding that ManDVD is not yet available for Natty.
From what I have googled, there are one or two ways around it, but it means building a version, and quite honestly, I'm over that crap now, and all I want is to install and use.
Thankfully, I still have a pc with Shrink, Fab and Nero still installed.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Compiling Gyachi In Natty 11.04
May 10, 2011First you need to download the source code from [URL]
Next you need to make sure you have all the dependencies in order to complete the build. All of the dependencies can be acquired with apt as usual.
Dependencies:
libtool
automake
libgraphicsmagick1-dev
libjasper-dev
libgtkhtml2-dev
libgpgme11-dev
[Code]......
Hopefully if all went well then Gyachi should be installed in /usr/local/gyachi unless you specified a prefix option to configure. Now you can run the Gyachi program from the shell or your menu.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Natty Upgrade Broke Mpd?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound With Dazzle DVC 100 In Natty?
May 15, 2011Something went wrong during my upgrade to Natty two weeks ago and I had to do a fresh install. I've been trying to play Wii (using a Dazzle DVC 100) via VLC, which used to work just fine. Please refer to the attached screen print. Now, the video comes out okay, but there is no audio. I've tried playing around with the name of the audio device (hw:1,0 for example), but it still doesn't work.
I've also tried video capture with Lavrec, but it gives me this error: [lavrec] Error initializing Audio: Audio task died. Reason: Error /dev/dsp - No such file or directory
Could this be related to my other problem? I've looked in the /dev folder and, indeed dsp is not there, nor is there a dsp0,1,2, etc. Sound is working fine for everything else, though. I've Googled and tried some suggestions, but nothing has worked for me. BTW, I did an Ubuntu minimal installation, so I might have missed or forgotten to install something. I have installed the gstreamer good, bad and ugly plugins.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Audio After Upgrade To Natty?
Jun 11, 2011following chained updates of my music server from 10.04 to 11.04 I no longer have any sound, which is sort of bad for a music server...Primary soundcard in the setup is USB So I tried the command posted in various "no sound" threads
sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2
Which reinstalled stuff as expected, except had this error in the output: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.38-8-generic" Could the error be because of backports?
aplay -l helpfully reports aplay: device_list:240: no soundcards found.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Using Non-integrated Sound By Default In Natty?
May 3, 2011So I did the update to Natty and it went pretty smoothly, with one exception. My rig has two sound cards in it: the integrated motherboard sound card (Intel HDA audio) that I don't use, and a Sound Blaster Audigy (the original Audigy 1) that I do use.
This setup has worked fine in Ubuntu for as long as I can remember, but after the upgrade to Natty it appears that GNOME no longer knows that the Audigy is the card that's in use. It insists on routing things like volume changes via gnome-volume-control to the motherboard. I can confirm this by watching the volume levels for each card in alsamixer while modifying them in gnome-volume-control; the levels move appropriately on the integrated card, and stay stuck on the Audigy.
What makes this bizarre is that it's not that the Audigy isn't recognized -- it's shown in the "Hardware" tab of Sound Preferences, and the system plays back audio just fine through the speakers connected to the Audigy. It's just that I can't change the volume on the sound through the panel applet anymore. Normally I would fix something like this by using the Hardware tab to switch from the one card to the other, but in this case when I make that change it doesn't stick -- if I close the Sound Preferences and then open it again, it's right back to being set to the integrated audio.
Maybe this is a PulseAudio issue with older Audigy cards? I have no idea.
I can change the volume with my speakers' volume knob and my keyboard's media keys, I suppose, but I'm so used to be able to change it via gnome-volume-control that not being able to feels bizarre. Has anyone else out there with add-on sound cards installed alongside motherboard audio experienced this?
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Switch Audio In / Out Sockets On Natty
May 23, 2011i have three jacks on the card, the usual with a normal home PC, - one for the speakers, second for the microphone, and third for line in. Now my speakers (Line out) jack is damaged a little. So when i plug in my speaker jack there, i get audio only in the right speaker (not a problem of the speakers, because i tested it, and not Ubuntu either, because this problem existed when i used to run Windows XP as well).
Now in Windows XP, what i used to do is, there was this tool (i think it came with the sound driver - Realtek) whenever i plugged in a jack into either of the sockets, a gui would ask me what i just plugged in, and it would allocate audio in and out according to what i specify then. So i used to plug in my speakers into the line in, because thats something i do not use, and used the tool to identify that jack as the line out.Is there some way i can do this on Ubuntu? i want to get line-out through the line-in socket. i'm a beginner with Ubuntu, and know only to use the GUI.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Stream Audio After Upgrade To Natty
Jun 13, 2011I have been using the streaming audio feature in Firefox for years, and have upgraded Ubuntu with each new release. I've never had a problem with streaming from my favorite radio stations until I upgraded to Natty. If I know the IP and use Audacious or another client, I can still stream through them-- but not from my browser any more. Flash-based content works OK too.I have upgraded two computers from 10.10 to Natty (desktop and laptop) and it has happened with both. the desktop is the 64-bit system (AMD), and the laptop runs the 32-bit OS (Intel). We have two other computers still running 10.10, and they're both still OK. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the xine plugin (which seems to do most of the streaming), VLC, and a couple of others. No luck. I don't think I see any gaps between the codecs installed for the 10.10 computers and the ones running Natty.I tried Chrome -- same result.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: No Encrypted DVD Playback In Maverick Or Natty?
Jun 16, 2011this is on three separate laptops; an HP Pavilion 4120se, a Sony Vaio VGN-S5XP and a Dell Studio XPS1340. All are showing the same symptoms, though the first two are running 10.10 and the last is dual-boot Win7Pro and Natty 64-bit. All are UK models with a Region 2 restriction. The dual boot machine will run all legal movie DVDs perfectly under Windows 7 Professional. All three installations will run educational and similar DVDs. On all 3, Medibuntu repo is enabled, Ubuntu Restricted Extras are installed, as is libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 (if those 2 can co-exist!). I'm using Movie Player and VLC.
I have tried UK retail commercial Region 2 movie DVDs, foreign region-free movie DVDs, Chinese pirate movie DVDs. None work. However, Licklibrary guitar instructional DVDs work fine - so the drives are OK! I've tried the oldest movie DVDs I have, and the same result. MP in Maverick tells me, "Could not read from resource" (VLC just does nothing!), and in Natty it says, "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed".
I have read as much as I can of the sticky above, and searched through every 'can't play DVDs' thread - hence the installation of all the above-mentioned software, codecs and libraries, all to no avail. Is it simply that the lack of commercial kick-backs from open-source software means Linux users will not be allowed to view movie content, or is there something fundamental I'm missing?

Jul 30, 2011Tvtime built in volume control stopped working in maverick because it depends on kernel support of Open Sound System (oss) and ubuntu kernels are no longer compiled with this turned on.
You can get an experimental deb of tvtime for maverick here:[URL]
which will work with ALSA sound system.
Here is a partial solution I found on the Russian Ubuntu board by Alexandris if you cannot get the above deb to work for you:
tvtime configuration file at /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml will allow you to reassign the left and right arrow keys to control whole system volume level while tvtime is running.
Make the following changes in tvtime.xml:
1. comment out existing left and right keybindings by enclosingg them with '<!--', '-->' tags:
Code:
<!--
<bind command="left">
<keyboard key="left"/>
<keyboard key="-"/>
[Code]....
3. save changes to tvtime.xml and start tvtime in a terminal window and see if there is any error messages. The Russian Ubuntu board recommended using "amixer -c default" , but I had to change mine to "amixer -c 0" (the number of my sound card) to get things to work. You might have to do the same...

May 1, 2011This is the result of reading lots of advice on this forum and elsewhere--thought I'd put it into one post for people's convenience. Picked up the latest tarball at [URL]... Unpacked the tarball with tar -zxvf nameofball.tar.
Loaded the following packages that it depended on: sudo apt-get install build-essential libtagc0-dev gperf libunistring-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev libconfuse-dev libavahi-client-dev libsqlite3-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmxml-dev libevent-dev libavl-dev libantlr3c-dev libgcrypt11-dev libflac-dev libogg-dev libtagc0-dev libasound2-dev .
Ran ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac --enable-musepack. Fix any errors that show up by tracking down a dependency that I hadn't listed above. Keep on running until it has no errors. Then make; sudo make install. I had installed checkinstall, so I ran make; sudo checkinstall -D instead.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No HDMI Fullscreen Video Since Natty Upgrade?
May 2, 2011but I had trouble trying to play an avi file on the bigscreen via my laptop's HDMI output.Although I could play the video in a full size box (with status bars and borders visible), both screens would go black when I double-clicked to go full size. This happened in both MPlayer and VLC as long as the HDMI cable was connected. Audio was fine.It presents as some sort off copyright protection, but I remember being able to watch movies fine in Maverick. Is anyone else having this problem with Natty?
