My RhythmBox acts weird. It don't play if I recently browse a page that has a flash object in it. Rhythmbox will play if I log off and log in again. How to troubleshoot? I'm running GNU/Linux Debian SID on an AMD Athlon X2 4000+, 40GB HDD, 2GB DDR2 RAM - on board video and sound...
when i want to opening lock screen and after entering password take too long time to open lock scrren and i can not find what is the problem.i can not find any clue in my logs, so this is some of syslog :

I downloaded the xvid codec from: PackMan:: Informationen zum Paket xvidcore, and the install was successful.I'm trying to play an xvid file, and Kaffeine is saying it cannot play all file formats, would I like to install additional support. When I click yes, it asks me for additional repositories.
my Iceweasel always crashes when I attempt to open any file (usually pdfs, but I tried with .odt too). I only found this thread [URL] .... and commented out as told by MekkaGodzilla in /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf Coment out this line : file:file
If I start skipping through a movie or song that's playing, sometimes the program will totally freeze. It stops playing audio and video altogether. Similarly, if for instance I'm listening to a music playlist, often times when VLC skips to the next track it stops playing audio, but continues through the track like it's still playing. Once it reaches the end of the first track it had a problem with, it freezes altogether and I have to close the program. In fact, the program stays running even after I "x" out of it, and I have to kill the process in system monitor and restart VLC in order to restore functionality. This happens quite often (as in, a few times a day), and as I'm sure you can imagine, this gets quite annoying, lol.
I've looked in the various logs in Log Viewer, but I don't see any obvious problems. There are no error messages pertaining to VLC, or audio or video output so far as I can tell. I've also tried reinstalling VLC to no avail. I think the next thing I'll try is to remove it completely first, and then reinstall it....but if that doesn't work, is there anything else you guys think I should be looking at? Lucid is the first Ubuntu release that's worked well for me (9.04 and 9.10 had serious issues on my machine) so I'd like not to revert back to an older release just for VLC if at all possible.
I'm trying out 10.04 LTS 64-bit from the live CD and when I try to play a MP3 or WAV file it gets the usual Search for suitable plugin? "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported." Error message so I click Search and it comes up with the error No packages with the requested plugins found.
Is this because it is in Live Mode and installing 10.04 to my hard drive will fix it or does Ubuntu no longer support audio files other then ogg and other open source audio / video file formats due to copyright problems?
I would like to play a sound file whenever someone moves their mouse/pointer over an image. All my feeble attempts have so far failed. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 + Firefox and Konqueror.
I have this .wmv video I'm trying to play in movie player, but I get this error:
Code: video/x-asf-unknown decoder and then it plays just the audio. When I try vlc, it just says Code: VLC does not support the audio or video format "G2M4" I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs as instructed here How do I fix this problem? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit
I tried to play a music file w/ rhythmbox, but it needed a plug-in. When I searched for it, there was none to be found. I need to know how to install plug-ins in order to play my mp3's and movies.
Hi, I m using ubuntu 9.04.I had some .wav files to play diretlly from firefox without downloading . Is there any chance for opening the files in this way?
There is a video file with .DAT extension.How can I play such files via VLC or SmPlayer?Which codecs does it need?Following packages are already installed :
I have ripped quite a few movies onto my server and I play them on my PS3 with mediatomb. I haven't changed any of the settings in handbrake except I was playing around with the quality meter on the video tab. Some of my movies will play and others won't. The ones that do not play say something about an unsupported file type. They also will not play in Movie Player.
The panel plugin from xfce4-mixer has a bug:s icon doesn't update as the volume is changed. This bug has already been reported.One curious thing about it is that, if you right click on the volume icon on the panel, go to 'Settings' (or 'Properties', I don't know, mine is in Portuguese) and then close the window that pops on the screen, the icon is updated.Is it possible to open and close the settings window automatically with a bash script? Like this, I could associate this script with the volume keys of my keyboard, so that the icon is updated as the the volume is changed.
Ok, so I have a few web apps that need to run shell commands. Heres a great example of one:
Code:
This is a PHP script getting my system volume. Herein lies the problem... www-data doesn't have permission to do this!
I changed my apache config to use MY account as the web user, and it does in fact work the way I want it to.
Obviously, I dont want to leave apache running as me, and want it to keep using www-data.... heres my question... how can I give permission for www-data to execute certain programs?
I'm having trouble playing back videos from a DLNA device in Ubuntu 11.04, and I'm not sure where the problem lies.
Using the software manager I've installed the extra plugins package for Totem, and enabled the Coherence DLNA/UPNP plugin. I can see the device (Humax Freeview HD recorder) in the MediaServers list, and can browse through the programmes I've recorded on it. However, trying to play any of the has no effect, the main part of the window still shows the "clapperboard" graphic.
I noticed that the "recent files" filenames that were appearing on the Movie menu didn't match the ones that were listed in the sidebar - they're of the form e.g. 313.TS rather than the original descriptive name with a .ts extension. Running Totem from a shell prompt, I can see the following console output: request to play: Man on Earth_20110622_0508.ts 013311314 http://192.168.254.1:9000/web/media/313.TS I tried entering that URL into Firefox, and it started downloading okay; according to the LiveHTTPHeaders addon the response headers are
Why can't Totem play the file? Some other codec needed for video/ts files that I've not got installed? (it hasn't prompted me to install any extra packages) Does it just not like the fact the file extension is upper case? Or something else entirely?
On a separate machine, also running Ubuntu 11.04, I installed the VideoLan client; VLC can browse to the files and play them without any problem. So why can't Totem?
I have tracker installed, and when I use "tracker-search ..." from terminal, I can find files as expected. In particular, it searches within file contents, not just the titles.
I was hoping to have similar functionality directly from gnome-shell. I've found a number of extensions to do this such as: [URL] .... but none of them work (gnome 3.14, debian Jessie).
How to set up file contents search directly from gnome in Jessie?
Programs like matlab/octave and I'm sure many other ones allow you to start typing a command, and then hit Up to recall the last command that starts with the typed characters. Common linux shell bash doesnot do this. Is there a different shell that does? I'm not asking how to find out the last command, I'm asking if there's a shell that's a little friendlier.
i need to run a command from a shell script that requires me to answer "Yes" to 2 questions that the command asks before it kicks off. how do i do this? i thought it was something like this.. from inside the parent script:
How can I run the following be run from a shell script, these are shell commands and mysql commands.
# mysql -uroot -ppassw > use mysql; > create database cacti; > GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactipw'; # mysql -u root -p -b cacti < /usr/share/cacti/cacti.sql
In below program I want to add (as part of the valid_cmds string) the pwd (print working directory), lo (logout), and cd (change directory) commands. However when I add those into original program ; char *valid_cmds = " ls ps df pwd lo cd"; they are not working I have the cout message huh? Original source code is below code...
I'm having some problems with banshee that started about 6 months ago. Banshee remains idle and does not play any type of music file. I've tried installing and selectively installing Gstreamer codecs with no success. I'm running stretch.
