Ubuntu Multimedia :: Too Many Recordings Makes 'recorded Programs' Page Crash
Jan 9, 2010
I have a lot of recordings on my mythtv box.i can see/play them fine within the mythfrontend interface, and mythweb loads almost all pages ok (including schedules, guides, etc.), but when I click on 'recorded programs' at the top, Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 88 bytes) in /usr/ share/ mythtv/mythweb/includes/translate.php on line 142.I've had this error before, and it went away when I purged my list of recordings.
If I start to play any kind of media file in Totem, the screen goes black, a terminal appears and flickers for a few seconds so fast I can't read it, and then the system shuts down.
Since I upgraded to Natty, XBMC produces a crash log when I exit.I have searched for forum entries but not found any. I use a Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H DDR3 AM3 board with a Athlon II X2 processor, with on-board graphics, HDMI output.
(XBMC seems to work while running, however)

Since upgrading to Lucid a few days ago I'm having intermittent problems (90% of the time)with opening OpenOffice files.When I open up a spreadsheet (.ods) in OO, (whether OO was already open or not) my screens go black, then flash on and off for 30 seconds (ish) as if trying to change the refresh rate.Sometimes this results in Gnome crashing and restarting itself. it settles down and is OK. On a few occasions I have had to change terminal and manually restart gdm.
Here's my environment;
Dell Latitude D620 nVidia GeForce Go 7300 (according to hwinfo) Ubuntu Lucid 32-bit (upgraded from Jaunty) 2 GB RAM
I've got the recommended "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)" hardware driver and the NVIDIA X Server Settings applet, which says my NVIDIA driver version is 195.36.24. I'm running dual screens (1440x900 and 1280x1024) using TwinView. After a flicker, here is what I find in the Xorg.0.log;
Code:
(II) Jun 30 12:17:42 NVIDIA(0): Setting mode (II) Jun 30 12:17:42 NVIDIA(0): "CRT:nvidia-auto-select+1440+0,DFP:nvidia-auto-select+0+124" (II) Jun 30 12:17:43 NVIDIA(0): Setting mode
I love Ubuntu, but it makes a loud sort of death rattle when it starts up, disturbing other people. Also when I exit Firefox, if there is more than one page tab, it makes a loud clicking noise. How can I stop these things?
Since when I upgraded OpenSuse from 10.2 to 11.3 (big jump, I know!), I can no longer use OpenOffice. When Java is Active, the OO applications crash after a few operations. Most of times they don't even start.
When run in a terminal, OO answers with errors like this:
Code: Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 24 bytes for CHeapObj-new. Out of swap space? #
used these drivers(dident work at all without it, no lights even): [URL]
and i first tryed it out on my netbook (aao, intel atom ubuntu 10.04 32bit), i ran make, then make install, done! i pugged it in and im happly using a 300mbps wifi network.
then i try it on my desktop (custom, AMD phenom x4, ubuntu 10.04 64bit), i install, no errors, then when i plug in the wifi usb, it lights up, then stops, the mouse also stops working(bouth keyboard and mouse is usb) but the kb still works. aftor restarting keeping it pluged in, ubuntu never finishes the splash screen, just stops their, i try again without the wifi and it works, i keeped trying and now the whole comp frezes, even the kb, and i see the system monetor is also frozen, what do i do?
one last thing, it works on bouth my netbook and desktop under windows 7, only on my desktop it wont work on ubuntu.
I often connects my laptop (Asus EEE) to my HTC desire hd with the wifi hotspot. But this doesn't work since yesterday when I upgraded to 11.04. When I connect the laptop to the phone the screen on the laptop goes black with a lot of scrolling text then it freezes.
This worked out of the box without any problems with 10.10.
Is there a way to schedule recordings of Internet Radio streams? I found this thread using cron and Streamripper, but I'd like to find a package that has all the support in one wrapper.
I wanted to get back into a radio show I used to listen to but can't too much anymore because it runs late at night. Is there a app to record live radio to schedule recordings? The program is Coast to Coast AM.
Can't seem to figure out how to make usable recordings with my webcam in cheese. when making very short video's like a few seconds...the longest so far was 11 seconds, it will behave just fine and it outputs a playable file with thumbnail and all. But when I try anything longer something seems to go wrong. I can tell first because cheese refuses to display a thumbnail for the resulting video. But also I cannot play it n any player I have (Yes I have pretty much all the codecs) Also when saved as a seperate file Gnome will choke when I try to get it to display properties for it.
I haven't found any errors like this when googling for cheese. Oh my OS is 10.04 and I have the 2.30-something Cheese that's packed for this version (can't get any of the newer cheeses to compile on it so far)
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 in a Samsung R510. I've tried to record sound with an external microphone and there have always been a permanent noise accompanying it.I thought it could be the internal microphone, that's causing the noise, but even when I disabled it the noise remains. Or maybe I didn't disable it the right way !
Running 11.3 and sound works ok in desktop, mplayer, firefox (flash) etc. System is using Pulse audio. I think that this worked before but I'm not sure. I don't really use this system. I do boot it every couple of days and update it. Backend is on desktop, and live TV and recordings show fine but without sound. What do I need to check?
I am having some problems with recording with my laptop. When I try to record something through the laptops mic, usb webcam mic or with desktop recorders audio record feature all playback is too fast (sounds a bit like alvin and the chipmunks :L ) Is anybody else having this problem, or even better know how to fix it ?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm running 10.10 and had never tried recording before I upgraded to 10.04. I had the same problem in 10.04 though.
I have recently installed OpenSUSE 11.3. I can play audio files, but there is a problem recording, namely the recording is way too slow. This was tried 3 ways: in Audacity, in Skype (making a test call), and using the arecord command in a console, as root. To make the playback sound normal, I tried taking the already-recorded file and speeding it up in Audacity. It was necessary to speed up the recording by 50%. I've tried updating alsa and other suggestions which I could figure out, and run the scripts for diagnostic information. BTW, I'm using a headset plugged in to standard 1/8 inch mic and speaker jacks, not a USB headset.
I'm trying to record video off my webcam, and tried two different programs - cheese and wxcam.
I honestly didn't have much luck with cheese - it seemed to work fine, but when it came time to record video, the frame rate dropped to a ridiculous level, making the video completely unusable. I could wave my arm in front of the camera, and it might pick up one frame of that.
Moving on, I tried wxcam, which I like a lot.. however, when I record video with the xvid compression, they play back considerably faster than they were recorded.
My wife is taking an online language course that requires Windows in order to record and playback speech (for pronunciation training). I decided the easiest thing to do would be to clone a VM I use on my machine for tasks that can only be accomplished in a Windows environment. I did so, and successfully installed the speech recognition utility on the Windows guest VM. Unfortunately, although the microphone works just fine--I can hear my voice in the headphones--no sound is recorded by the speech recognition utility. Just to be clear, the microphone is fully functional under GNU/Linux. My wife has been using Skype without any issues at all. That is, Skype used to work. Somewhere during the course of trying to resolve the voice recording problem I managed to break Skype. I have no idea how.
It's a long story, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. When I could not get the VM solution to work properly, I thought maybe the problem was with the VM, so I checked the original copy on my own machine. No problem there. Windows sees and hears the microphone just fine (using the testing utility under sound configuration). So how is it possible that the microphone doesn't work in the cloned VM image? Before you stop me, allow me to note that both machines have identical motherboards, and both are configured to use the onboard sound. Sound works on the Linux host and the Windows guest VM. Both sound and microphone work in the original VM image on my machine, but only sound works in the cloned VM on my wife's machine.
If you've followed me down the rabbit hole this far, please continue with me a bit further as things get stranger and stranger. After triple checking all the setting in KMix (I'm running Squeeze/KDE on both machines) to be sure they were identical, I noted that I was unable to view/add/enable the "channel" option on my wife's machine. Why, I have no idea. As I said, the machines are identical as can be both regarding hardware and software. Out of desperation, I decided to set up an account for my wife on my machine. I created her account, made sure she had the necessary audio permissions, then cloned my VM to her account. Same problem.
I would love for someone to point out what I'm missing here. Same hardware, identical VM (clone), same permissions, same sound configurations in KMix and under the Windows guest VM. How is it possible for the microphone to work for me, but not for my wife? Is there some mystery configuration file somewhere that has magically been altered for her account alone? The worst part about this entire process is that I've broken my wife's Skype, which is a big deal seeing as we live in a tiny country in the heart of Africa and cell phone communications are very expensive.
I'm a Linux noob. I'm using Karmic on a laptop with 1.5GB RAM and same as swap partition. Generally I'm happy with the mem usage. I have MySQL, SVN, Apache/PHP/xdebug, firefox w/ dev addons, Eclipse PDT and, of course, my music :) running at the same time, generally ok. I have the System Monitor's mem display on the top bar (dunno proper name) and can watch usage increase. Also the swap file's often only 100 - 300 megs.
However... from time to time I notice that as the programs' mem use gets close to 100% in the little sys monitor display the HD thrashes for 5 - 10 mins, after which some progs have silently crashed. AFAIR it always involves Eclipse (so maybe I should post on their boards), but not only. This last time I lost VLC and therefore my music. Obviously losing your music's far more important than losing some coding, so that's why I'm trying to resolve it now:)
I'm running Munin on my system (tho not because of this issue) and took a look at mem usage immediately before it happened. Here's the pic - you can see the sudden drop as the two progs (only AFAIK) closed on the very right side of the image. I'm not a guru here and am not sure if there's much to infer. I know some recommend 2xRAM for swap, but max committed was only 2.29 compared to potential 3, so that shouldn't be a problem? In fact the swap file never got large at all AFAICT. (Btw swappiness = default = 60.)
I've recently installed ubuntu, and right away from a fresh install programs would crash whenever I closed the last window. It doesn't give me any error messages, so I don't know what the problem is , just poof the programs is gone and I have to launch it again. This happens in almost every program, I've used except rtythmbox. it's not a big deal for the small programs that load instantly, but for firefox or openoffice it's big pain in the neck.

the title says it all. im using CLI streamripper with this command:
Code: streamripper http://<stream IP address> -d ~/Music -z -o larger -T it keeps a copy of every song it rips in /incomplete then copies it to another folder once it's finished ripping (but keeps the copy in /incomplete). how do i get it to stop this and delete the copy in /incomplete once its finished moving it to the new folder?
I have just installed squeeze 6.0.2 amd64 and noticed when I use k3b to burn/verify a disc, when it has finished burning the media it plays a sound, and rather sound is played which sounds very crackly/muffled.I do not remember this on ubuntu, and I cannot say for sure but I dont recall this happening on squeeze 6.0.1.
Sound plays perfectly in all other applications, no problems whatsoever.This is not a big deal, I just dont remember this happening. I know this isnt the most detailed posting but does anyone have any idea what this could be? I even tried to reinstall k3b through synaptics and the problem still persists.
I have two monitors set up on my Asus N61J laptop, but have a weird problem:When I move the mouse to right-hand edge of the Left (Primary) screen, it disappears. To get it back, I have to either keep moving it to the next screen, or move it over something that will cause it to change shape.It also happens if I move it to the left-hand edge the Right (Secondary) screen. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this? It's a little annoying, as it makes it hard to select the Logout/Shutdown/Status menu
I recently installed Firefox 3.6 on Debian Squeeze. Everything went smoothly, but Firefox looks weird. The interface reminds me of Windows 98 and anytime I scroll through the menus the highlighter is grey and it makes things awfully hard to read. I'm not sure what could be wrong but I'm hoping someone here I'm not sure how to insert small images as url links so I'll just post links to screenshots I took for reference.[URL]Oh, and one other problem I recently discovered, flash doesn't seem to work. It works just fine in Iceweasel but I am told I have to install it in Firefox. I installed libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins but that doesn't seem to have helped. Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't since it's probably the 32-bit version I got from their site, I run on 64 bit.
I have a few posts open regarding the problems I have discovered after installing Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot on my iMac. I am sure I have all the necessary drivers restricted extras etc... installed and still three problems continue. These are problems that I would have assumed would work properly.
1. Unable to record Line In Recordings
2. Unable to use the built in web cam. Doesn't work at all
3. Unable to play any videos at all be they avi, mov files as an example. VLC won't even open them, Movie Player crashes when viewing full screen.
I have a feeling that getting Ubuntu to work on a Mac is way more difficult than getting it to work on a PC and I think it may be because of Apple's proprietary software.
I have over 500 hours of audio recordings of my server room. There's a lot of background noise from the fans, but mostly it's constant. Is there a way to automate an analysis of these audio files (mp3 each 30 min) and display changes? Like frequency or decibel changes?
I need to know how to play audio recordings, through a modem.For example, I have the computer dial my friends cell phone,and it plays a prerecorded message when he answers.And I can then record that call, and listen to it later.
I recently switched to Ubuntu and I'm loving it, except i am having sound problems with both my laptop and my desktop.My laptop is using an internal microphone (it is a Toshiba Satellite P500) but the mic is not recognized, I hook up my M-Audio USB audio interface which has my studio mic connected to it, it gets recognized as an input device but it doesnt recordSame thing on my desktop, it gets recognized, doesnt record.My laptop is 64-bit and my desktop is 32-bit, both have Ubuntu 10.04
Using Debian stable. 64-Bit. I can play videos and music using Totem and VLC. And I can play audio files with audacious and Rhythmbox. And I can play flash in firefox and google-chrome. But, if I open audacious and then play a flash file in Firefox or google-chrome audacious crashes as well as other multimedia players that I have open such as Totem, VLC and/or Ryhthmbox.
Would like to know if you can offer some troubleshooting steps to take so that I can play a flash file in a browser and still play an mp3 file in the audio player without having to kill those processes and restart.
I am a Mac user who has been using Audio Hijack Pro for years to do my scheduled radio recordings. I have a radio hooked up to my Mac that I record shows from. I am looking for a similar GUI solution in Linux and so far have come up empty. I would think that there would be something out there that I can use and hopefully someone on this forum can shed some light on this for me. I am seriously thinking of switching over to Ubuntu full time and this is the only thing that is preventing me to do so. Too bad because I hear so many good things about Linux, and so far I really like it.
