Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get Manuals Or Anything Even Close?
Jun 14, 2011
I am new to linux and you guys do a great thing here.So thank you very much.I have lyme disease and cannot work so there is no way i can buy expensive software so thank you so much. I started with LMMS and audacity,then I figured jackaudio out(sort of)and started using hydrogen and ardour.I want to try other programs like rosegarden,muse,and the looping programs but I cannot find anything that explains how to use or a manual or anything,If it is in plain sight I am sorry.But if you could point me in the right direction i would be greatly happy!
Also I'm sure i am hardly,barely,not even almost reaching the full potential of Linux recording,is their anyone who9 could explain something that annoying?Sorry to be asking so much.I have been a musician and songwriter for over 20 years and due to my illness i never could quite record,but thanks to you guys my dreams are coming true!
Ubuntu 11.04- Rhythmbox and Banshee used to work ok, but today when either started up they both promptly appear to close down. The only difference is that this morning I had pugged my iPod into the machine, though I don't know if this is relevant. I removed both programs and reinstalled them- now Rhythmbox works, but Banshee still appears and then closes down, whether or not the iPod is pugged in (now suspect this is not part of the problem).
I've been trying to install the latest version of Emacs from source but I'm running into a trouble. The commands "./configure" and "make" work just fine. However, when I run "sudo checkinstall" I get a message saying that makeinfo is missing:
Code: makeinfo is missing - cannot build manuals make: *** [info] Error 1 **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation. Cleaning up...OK Bye. What is Error 1
I seem to be having a problem with Banshee. When I boot up, it automatically starts up, which seems innocent enough. However, I opened up Exaile (because Banshee had this problem of not recognizing spaces in some of my songs' filenames, replacing them with '%20'), and closed Banshee from its notifications icon. It closed, but about 3-5 seconds later its window pops up again. I used Ctrl+Q to quit, but it still came back after a few seconds. I've tried opening up a terminal and typing "killall banshee-1", but still, Banshee keeps coming back. Even though I restart and not open Exaile, Banshee still keeps coming back when I try to kill it.
This is more of a question for developers of rhythmbox DAAP support. I am using rhythmbox to remotely access music exported by mt-daapd server. It works fine. But it does not seem to close connections properly. This problem is very severe when you press "prev" button a few times. How to reproduce (this just one way):
1) Start playing a few songs (playlist or an album). 2) press "next" button a few times 3) then press "prev" a few times.
The playback might even pause for many seconds if you are not a LAN. Now check connections opened by Rhythmbox.. (netstat -n | grep 3689 on client). You will notice a lot of connections, and they stay for a very long time.. multiple hours. Let me know if anyone needs more info.
Every time I try to start rhythmbox all it does is open for like a split second and then close again. Only thing I did was install updates and then this started happening.
I have installed clementine and when i press Music-->Exit, clementine still running in the background. Only works "Kill" the process through the KSysGuard or htop application.
To re-produce:
*Open Clementine. *Exit UI interfaz (Music-->Exit). *Clementine still running in the background. *Kill the process e.g throught KSysGuard ( monitor system kde) or htop application.
Since yesterday, I cant use firefox anymore. When I launch it, It appears half a second and close. I tried to remove it in yast, then install again. No result.
I did a clean install of 11.04 and I have experienced that my separate X-screen does not have the program-name bar with the minimize, close-buttons etc. It's my third monitor is a separate X and it does not really work since I cant close programs, maximize windows or move them around. I cant even write anything on it. The first two monitors work great as one X-screen, just as they did in 10.10. Ubuntu Classic, no Unity. Two monitors (one X) on a ATI HD6970 One monitor (the X-screen that doesn't work properly) on a ATI HD4870
I have recently had problems a with Movie player. It seems to having trouble playing DVD's and video files. it has a tendency to stop/freeze and sometimes if I try move the progress bar or scroll back or forward it wil just instantly close the Movie Player. I'm wondering is there a way to check it for bugs or is there a more reliable/better quality player that I could get instead.
Is there a way of closing just 1 folder. I open documents folder then open a folder that's in documents then open a folder that's in the 2nd folder, if I want to close any of those folders it closes all of them. I know I can right click on a folder and select open in a new window which I then can close without closing all folders,is there a setting that let's you always open folders in a new window by double clicking on the folder?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. But I have a problem. I am not able to close the apps or programs I open. The bar with the close, minimize and ( fill screen botton, what ever ) is gone! I'm not quite sure what I did.. I enabled the Cube in compiz, and the wobbily windows, and then the bar dissapeared. I put everything back to what it was, but the top bar on the widows is gone.
In Ubuntu 10.10 Gnome . When I close the laptop lid I seem to get only two choices - hibernate or suspend. What i want is when i close the laptop lid I want nothing to happen.
There are real issues I'm having with network-Manager stopping and not starting when i go into suspend. it's a major hasle therefore I want to prevent any suspend or hibernate.
How do i do it so closing the lip just closes the lid and nothing else?
I'm running Ubuntu in a virtual machine inside win7. I've installed the game FreeCol, played a bit and when i try to quit the game doesn't close. I can continue playing but i'm basically trap in the application. Is there any keyboard command i can use to force quiting the application? Or any other idea on how to proceed? Could it be a limitation of the virtualization?
when my PC hangs my terminal do not open and it is not possible to go to System->Administration->System Monitor and close the unresponsive programs. Is there any way to close the unresponsive programs?
I opened MPlayer, two boxes opened, both a blank and will not close. System manager does not show it and "ALT-F2" typed xkill and clicked on bottom tray button does nothing. I opened second MPlayer and it closed but not first one.
If I want to open a terminal, run a script in it and have that script close that specific terminal wherein I ran the script, how do I do that? The exit command doesn't work.
I just installed ubuntu 10.4 and when I close my laptop, it does not go to sleep. The hard drive is still on and the computer is still working even after I have closed it.
If I Ctl-W, it sometimes closes a tab and other times it has no effect. This relates to browser windows. If I select the command from the menu in FF, it always works and then the next Ctl-W works. The first Ctl-W closes a tab too. There is no obvious pattern, sometimes a sequence of Ctl-Ws will close a series of tabs.
Tried a new keyboard, but that didn't make any difference. Other browsers, even in a VMware window running Win 7, shows the same behavior. However, once a long sequence of tabs were closed without any problem with Safari in Win 7.
I need to close my session but the exit button is no longer here. I can restart the computer (ctrl+alt_del), but not only the session. I opened a session with the gnome desktop but everytime is messed up and I want to come back to the UNE desktop. How can I do that from a terminal?
I'm having some strange issues with my HP Probook. The resolution changes (lower) after I close and open the lid again. Only a restart will fix this problem. Sometimes happens even when I normally turn the computer on, only a restart will fix it...
I'm trying to backup my data files to a DVD+RW and for some reason even though I set k3b to "No Multisession" k3b doesn't close the DVD. What do I have to do to make k3b burn a data DVD+RW and close the stupid thing instead of leaving it open for more data?
i started up my computer today and i didnt have a task bar so i opened terminal and ran xfce4-panel and my task bar comes back on but i get this on terminal
Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 recently. (Now that was a mistake...) Problem occurring now that when I close lid of my laptop (Asus K40IN series) , which I set to suspend, it won't wake up (and I have to shut down and reboot). It used to be fine (in both Windows and 10.04) though so must've something to do with the upgrade to 10.10.
