I want to listen to this audio file: [URL] but my real player 11.0.0.4028 gold desn play it, it says that there is a codec 28_8 missing, I go to relaplayer page, download the last release available for linux systems, but the message is the same : audio codec missing and doesn't play the audio.
I havev tried to play the audio with smplayer (not luck), vlc can play the audio but the pause button doesn't work so I have to listen the entire audio all the time I stop it playing. Is there any audio player capable od reproducing in the proper way this audio in ubuntu? No one of my video players totem, smplayer, realplayer or vlc are capable of playing this video: [URL]

I'm thinking of installing openSUSE-11.1 Gnome on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop because the wireless in Gnome is much more user friendly than KDE3/KDE4 in openSUSE-11.1. The idea is to give this laptop to my 84-year old mother and things need to 'just work' for her (she currently has a desktop running openSUSE-11.1 KDE3 that uses a WIRED interface to the web).
I refuse to update this laptop to openSUSE-11.2 nor 11.3 (nor other recent distributions) because every kernel update after the 2.6.27 kernel has broken the Intel i855GM graphics drivers for that laptop. There are many bug reports and none have fixed the problem for this Fujitsu-Siemens implementation of the i855GM graphics.
Hence I am looking at Gnome.
I booted the laptop to a Gnome openSUSE-11.1 liveCD and wireless is easy and works great. But audio is very very VERY bad. It is incredibly user unfriendly and it does NOT work well. I assume that is because pulse audio in openSUSE-11.1 was very immature.
I note these updated packages in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository:
Code:
So my question is, did the updates to pulse audio (in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository) fix the pulse audio situation? Are there ANY helpful views on this?
Currently my wife is using this laptop with KDE-4.4.4 (and openSUSE-11.1) so I can't just install Gnome and play with it without taking the laptop away from her for a while (note the hard drive is too small for a dual boot of KDE/Gnome).

to start off, i'll post the specs of the machine:
dell inspiron e1505
3.2 gb ram
1.86 ghz intel core duo
ati x1400 gfx
opensuse 11.4 kde 32 bit.
okay, here are the details: can't play any audio with amarok when desktop effects are enabled because the minute a window is moved, it will distort the audio. even when disabling desktop effects, some applications still cause this. can't play videos videos even with desktop effects disabled because of the same reason.
i just switched from ubuntu and when i ran version 11.04, i had to disable kms to do anything. i tried on opensuse 11.4 and the audio was flawless but the gfx went all to hell.

I am having some issues with getting Ubuntu Studio 10.04 to work correctly on my system. Everything works fine except sound. I have a M-Audio Delta 66 audio interface and my onboard sound is disabled. When I run the command alsaconf I can see the ICE1712 card without issue. However when I run alsamixer the only option it is giving me is my HD sound from my ATI video card. For some reason it seems the ATI card has locked the audio to it with no way to remove it. I have reinstalled the alsa drivers for my card and can only see it through alsaconf. When I tell alsaconf to configure the ICE1712 card it says it configured it properly.When I run the command envy24control it says no ICE1712 cards were found.

Is there an application that anyone knows about that I can use to convert either an .flv or .ogg file that contains both audio and video to just an audio .ogg file (preferably vorbis+theora) without audacity? I'm fairly certain audacity could accomplish this but it seems like overkill for what I'm trying to do and the computer I'm trying to use does not run it so well.
::EDIT:: I should also mention that I've tried looking on google. I did find downloadhelper extension for firefox which uses ffmpeg to convert the files but I don't see any obvious way to strip the video.

I am taking a Geology class this semester and we were assigned a CD that has an interactive program on it. I didn't like the access speed- especially when the narrator was supposed to talk. The DVD/CDRW drive had to spin up and... then the narrator spoke.I'm wondering if I can create an ISO image of that CD and then transfer it to a SD card so it's less noisy and less pokey than a CD.I only have Brasero at this point so I don't know if that program will be enough

How to defrag a FAT32 USB-stick in Ubuntu?
When my parents got a new 16:9-television I found, it has a USB-slot to display photos. So I bought a new 2 GB USB-stick for them and copied over some photos. Well it works quite well, if you organize the photos in folders (because a flat list is simply unmaintainable).
I really spent some time to work this out on my laptop. But the next day I showed it to my parents on their TV, the photos came in seemingly random order. Taking a second look the order is not really random, but shuffled once for all time. The television does no sorting at all and shows the photos in the order, the files were added to the directories.
As I understand from the documentation of the TV, defragmentation can not only rewrite files so their contents are in a neat sequence, but also reorganize folders and especially sort the entries. There is just one problem: My last WinXP-PC was already recycled, though I still have the installation-CD.
Now I definitely don't want to install WinXP everytime over Ubuntu, just to do some defragmentation now and then. Moreover I don't want a dual-boot, as it would tempt me, to abandon Ubuntu and switch back to WinXP.
On the other hand, I don't want to bother my friends with this little problem, as far as admitting, there are things I simply cannot do with Ubuntu won't help me persuade them, that Ubuntu is a veritable replacement.
Finally the TV and the stick are at my parents home which is quite a distance away. I imagine bringing more photos on my laptop *TO* them, but not taking the stick with me every-time, just to "repair" it on some WinXP-PC somewhere far away, thereby effectively taking all the other photos away *FROM* them.
Getting more specific:
1. Are there any defragmentation / reorganization / reparation tools to maintain FAT32 under Ubuntu?
2. Has anybody ripped Scandisk+Defrag from WinXP and got it running with wine? Is this save in the way, that it will not damage the FAT32 filesystem?
3. I've installed WinXP in VirtualBox from Sun (not the OSE-version). But so far I could not access any USB device. The menu-entry in virtualbox is simply grayed out.

I just bought a new USB DVB-T receiver: Elgato EyeTV for DTT.
In the following chart:url
it is listed as supported out of the box, which is not the case.
When I connect the stick, the only message I get is the following:
May 13 00:15:26 micasa kernel: [16969.930122] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
So I guess I will need to mess up with patches, kernel modules, firmware files, etc.
Please, is anybody using this receiver or the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T (which is said to be a clone)?

im trying to use a Y0400052 remote control from my leadtek winfast analog tv receiver pci card with a elgato eyetv dtt dvb-t usb stick. i know theres plenty of 'how do i get my infrared remote controller working' infos out there but im kind of lost. feel free to direct me to an appropriate place. part of my confusion is that im both lost on a very general level AND on a very specific level. back in the days when i had a desktop and was using the leadtek pci card the remote was working ok via lirc. now it seems that there is this new way of handling remotes via devinput and 'events' so im unclear - do i need lirc anymore?

Ubuntu 10.04, nVidia GeForce 9400, driver ver 195.36.15.When I log in, the system always comes up in 800x600 mode. I went into the NVIDIA X Server Settings page and changed it to my preferred setting of 1152x864. I hit Apply, then Save to X Configuration File (with correct root password).All is well until restarting. Then it reverts back. The update doesn't stick. How can I make this the permenant setting?

I am trying to get the Asus "My Cinema-U3100 Mini plus" DVB-T USB stick to work on my lucid 32bit with 2.6.32-27 kernel - with no great success so far. And this despite searching through forums and following the instructions given on [URL].
The USBID is in fact
Code:
ID 0b05:1779 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
Which is exactly the one shown in the list of supported devices on LinuxTV. I have implemented all modifications and corrections to the source files as outlined in the above LinuxTVWiki instructions.
I also added the boot option
Code:
usbhid.quirks=0x0b05:0x1779:0x0004
to grub2 in order to overcome the (initial) problem of the tuner being recognised as a HID device.
My dmesg output after plugging in the device now shows
Code:
Jan 27 17:44:50 jens-laptop kernel: [ 1086.358488] usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Jan 27 17:44:50 jens-laptop kernel: [ 1086.495359] usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
When I try to compile the af903x driver using
Code:
sudo make
The response on the screen is
Code:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-27-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/jens/Desktop/Linux_PC_AF9035_Afatech_2008.12.17/Linux-32bit_AF9035_20081217/AF903x_SRC modules

make: *** [default] Error 2
My knowledge is limited and I have no idea why I am getting all these warnings and finally the error message. Also, is there a way to tell when (or if at all) driver support for this device will be implemented in the Linux kernel?

i have been able to get my webcam working in Skype by doing the LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype command and installing v4l2ucp but it doesn't stick. So next time i boot it is like i didn't do anything. I have read a few things on it on this forum and i am not sure what to do next. Is there a conflict with my nvidia video card? I only installed Ubuntu 10 a week ago i think.

Due to a bug that will be fixed at squeeze (I'm running lennyx64), I can't mount ntfs partitions from gui interface (or else, directories with non-English characters will be ignored).
So I'm mounting with disk-manager (hd partitions only), or from konsole. Obviously, mounting from konsole, is the only option for usb flash sticks.
Suddenly, just out of the blue, today debian stopped mounting ntfs partitions from konsole. Since this was my only option for mounting safely my friend's sticks, I have a big problem right now.
I can't figure out many things from the error message:

For the last several weeks i've been trying KDE and it's been working quite fine. There are however several minor issues with KDE.
First - how can i format a usb stick? In GNOME after the usb stick has been plugged in one just have to right click on it and select "Format". Here i don't see such an option. I googled it and i read somewhere that the tool for this would be KDE partition manager. I installed it but it looks like an overkill for the task. KDE partition manager is high level tool like GParted, whereas i'm looking for something that integrates into the desktop so i can just right click on the usb drive and select format. Besides KDE partition manager asks for a root password which is logical because it can format all your partitions. However i don't see the need for a root password when one is going to format a usb drive.
Second - i tried to use my micro sd card yesterday and while it mounted automatically i couldn't write anything on it or delete any of the files on it ( didn't have this problem with the usb stick though). How can i change that? I have a default Debian install with a nearly default KDE 4.6.5. In GNOME the SD card was always mounted writable by default.
Third - i am using Iceweasel, Rhythmbox and GIMP which are GTK applications. To make them look OK in KDE i installed gtk2-engines-oxygen and kde-config-gtk-style and i also installed the Oxygen KDE Firefox theme (from here [URL]). I then configured the GTK applications to use the oxygen engine and Rhythmbox and GIMP look perfectly OK (i've attached a screenshot at the bottom of my post) however Iceweasel doesn't look completely OK. The problem is that the color scheme of the window is slightly darker than the color scheme of the upper window border - i've attached screenshots of Rhythmbox and Iceweasel so you can compare. I've tried KDE 4.7 with Arch Linux and Firefox there looks OK just like Rhythmbox. It is a small detail but it bugs me...
Fourth - i have problem with the KDE theme for Firefox which i've installed. Without it Iceweasel doesn't look that good. With it, the find menu (activated with ctrl+f) doesn't work - instead of the regular search field just a very small box appears. I've posted a screenshot for that as well.

I am using the Gnome desktop in Lenny 5.03The default Gedit paper size is "US Letter", which is almost right for my HP Laserjet 4L, except that about .5 inch at the top and .25 inch at the left margin are cut off.I have defined a "Custom Size" under File -> Page Setup -> Manage Custom Sizes... with margin settings that solve the problem, but this "Custom Size" only remains the default Paper Size for printing until Gedit is closed.Using what appears to be the same gnome dialog from epiphany and evolution, the Papersize settings stick, but not from Gedit. I cannot locate any configuration file to edit, and nothing in the gconf editor seems to apply.

Alright, I got a pair of darn nice stereo headphones over the past month and I'd like to maximize their use with the best audio format possible on my Ubuntu computers. I have a pretty extensive music collection but now going from using Itunes, Winamp, Banshee, etc formats seem to be getting pretty extensive. I want to know what the BEST overall quality audio format is. I'm only talking about simple listening, not editing, if it makes a difference.
I don't care what the size of the song comes out to here. If a 5 minute song ends up being 25mb, so be it. And what is your reason behind your choice, short and sweet.

I've upgraded my computer to 9.10. There is no audio output. I don't hear the quirky little sound when I boot up. There is no playback of my music library using mplayer or vlc. There's no audio from Hulu or the TV network's direct sites. I've enabled pulse audio -- I found a reference to it in someone else's post. Medibuntu is loaded and the codecs downloaded.
