Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cool Fx Not Working?
Apr 14, 2011
I have ubuntu studio 10.10, and I had to reinstall because of video issues, so I just re did it to wipe it clean and start all over with the install. Before, I had the cool effect when I dragged the window from one screen to the next it stretch the window like it was springy, and snapped onto the next monitor.
I have downloaded, compiz and compiz config settings manager as well as emerald theme manager. I selected the 3d cube and wobbly windows, water fx and several other, but the 3d cube doesnt show up as such and the neat snap that I described that I had before, doesnt work either . Right now I have my XFX Radeon HD 5770 vid card prop driver disabled.
Any clues as to why as the website: [URL].. shows that beautiful cube fx in the center of the window, wont occur on my screen? And where did that cool fx go that when I drag the window over to the other screen it's just a basic drag and not the wobbly/stretchy thing?

Can anyone recommend a really cool music player (like real player equivalent of Linux) and super cool DvD player?
I am also looking for a video editor, any suggestions?
there are really thousands of software to scour around, many of them don't even have rating, I want to know ubuntuforums users'.

My MBP 5,3 running 64bit 9.10 gets rather hot during use. If I touch the case near the left speaker and along the top by the screen it is sometimes almost too hot to touch. It gets that hot that when I have shut the MBP down I don't close the lid as I am scared that the hot case will damage the screen when closed together!I'm scared I'm gonna cook the laptop or an egg on it.I've been reading some of the posts regarding this mentioning scripts and being able to alter the fan speeds to hopefully solve this problem. I'm still new to linux and I don't have a problem running or installing scripts but I need the confidence to do it knowing I am not going to cook the laptop.
1, Can someone point me in the right direction with regards to a linux app (gui if possible) that I can run that will show me fan speed and cpu temp also the graphics card temp if possible?
2, What script do I need to run to cool the laptop down?

Some of you might have seen my thread about Gnome 3. My desktop and windows were a mess after Gnome 3, and I couldn't restore it back to Gnome 2 for some reason. I decided to check out Ubuntu Studio because I am a guitar player. I want to be able to record, but the desktop in ubuntu studio is stunning. It isn't graphically stunning, like ubuntu running Gnome 2 or 3, but it is simple. Everything is easy to get to and no nonsense. It is a joy to use.
If they improve the looks of the desktop and menus, I would be EXTREMELY happy. The look isn't that impressive, but the ease of use is great. One thing I noticed is that the average CPU usage went down when I switched to ubuntu studio. In regular ubuntu, my CPU would be using 15%-20% of its power when I wasn't running anything. In ubuntu studio, it is between 8%-13%.
I am pretty pleased with Ubuntu Studio. I am glad I made the switch. I just would like it to be a little more visually impressive.

You know, the really simplistic one where all you have is your files, folders, menu and a bar at the bottom with your normal filename/size/other jazz and the handy navigation button thingy? I really liked it, I swear when I went from Ubuntu to Fedora back in the F10 days I thought that was one of the coolest things.

Fedora 12 works well on my Acer 5920g laptop. However, about 5 minutes after switch-on, the fan comes on. Especially since the sensor output shows the system is still very cool:

Once on, the fan almost never turns off. The system is not loaded at all, almost totally idle according to top.

I installed it on a Dell Inspiron 531 with the GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 built in video card. From the recommend driver list I installed �NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended
Well, turns out it should not have been recommended. I had restarted and all I got was a low res ubuntu logo and a boot right into a full screen terminal. Tried startx and got a no screens found, I look online for about an hour last night and decided to just reinstall, which takes a couple hours when installing all the packages.
I have done more research today and found to install the latest linux x64 driver from nVidias website, which I did, but it does not run. I followed some more instructions and it said to do a �sudo chmod +x <file>� which I did, and it starts to open and I get �You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.�
I�m starting to get a little frustrated here, guess I�m just used to a lot of the ease of windows and assumed that something like installing a graphics card driver would be easy.

I have a Dell 1525 and I just installed Ubuntu on it. The Multimedia keys (previous, stop, play/pause, next) and volume control keys (mute, increase, decrease) buttons aren't working at all. Is there anyway I can get them to work?

I finally installed Squeeze on my laptop and found out that the XF86Audio multimedia keys do not work.
When I press them, they're correctly identified by xev but they do not produce the desired effect (raise/lower/mute volume, play/pause/stop/prev/next song in media players like Sonata).
Funnily enough though, they do work in Audacious, which has its own plugin to manage XF86Audio media keys.
So it's like the action of pressing these keys is not intercepted by the system and no event is triggered.
I think this might be due to a missing package or configuration but I have no idea where to look...

I was replacing my media setup(10.04) with an upgrade and encountered the following problem: I can't get the tv out working. I tried both with the NVidia drivers and without a xorg.conf file (vesa, according to xorg.log) The motherboard is an Asus P4P800-VM (with integrated graphics), the GPU is an old NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. I took the card from the old setup because of the tv-out, so I know the card itself is fine, using a crt monitor on the VGA port also works without problems. I noticed that the old setup also used the tv as its screen, for displaying the BIOS POST and bootscreen, while the new machine just stays blank(no signal). There is an option in the bios to set a tv as the primary boot screen, but to no effect. Using the xorg.conf generated by the myhtbuntu installer, the console (tty1-6) has this weird pink color, this does not occur when generating the config with the nvidia tools, or when completely deleting the xorg.conf file.

I've had a major problem getting my mic to work with pulseaudio. After looking around for a while I see that I'm certainly not the only one.I have run a whole lot of suggested commands - copied all sorts of lines into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf - upped all sorts of volume controls with alsamixer or pulseaudio - uninstalled and reinstalled - upgraded and..NOTHING WORKSI actually messed around with it so much that I had to reinstall Ubuntu again (10.04)I have been using linux on-and-off for a while but have never been the kind of person to remember all these long commands...so please consider me to be Newbie (as I feel like one at the moment)I'm sure if there's anyone out there able to help they'll need a bit of info about the machine.
This is after a fresh install - so please feel free to take anything step-by-step upgrades...commands...the lotLets start with:Packard Bell EasyNote V5 series (V5910)00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)The sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.config - brings up

I have a Gateway NV52 with an internal microphone and internal webcam. On Windows, both work fine, but on Ubuntu I can only get the webcam to work. I never used one on Ubuntu (using Karmic Koala 64 bit) before, so I may be overlooking something.

I've tried looking around but I can't figure out what's going on here. I used uShare before and it worked without a hitch! I followed these instructions here to the T. However, I recently did a reinstallation of 9.10 and followed the exact same instructions, and now I can't get uShare to come up on my PS3 (I haven't changed any settings on the PS3 or network since then, just reinstalled Ubuntu). Side note. Using

None of the tv viewing programs work, ether they crash or don't produce a stream.
I am sure the drivers are installed. The card is autodetected as a WinTV-HVR-1270. From what I have read on other post the 1250 r4 detects as a 1270
