With my .conkyrc. Whenever I output the values of any of the mixer variables, eg. mixer, mixerbar, mixerl, mixerlbar, mixerr, mixerrbar - the correct value is initially displayed but it only persists for one iteration of conky. As soon as conky refreshes (2 secs. in my case), the value goes to zero (0). I'd have to restart conky in order to get another reading until conky loops/refreshes again.
I'm sure that it's not normal behavior because nothing else in conky seems to work this way. Has anyone come across this? I couldn't find a mention of it anywhere.
Making a low-pace instance of Conky on my server, running once a minute and without X-output. and then every minute it inserts a row in a MySQL table with some variables. Once it is in a MySQL database I can make a nice PHP-application showing some graphs and statistics or maybe even send a mail when the motherboard is catching fire or so
I'm having an issue using MPD currently, using sonata as the front end. Quick specs are as follows:
Code: Fedora 13 x64 - Linux ltp01 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Feb 17 15:03:58 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux MPD version - mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.15.11 Here is my mpd.conf file contents: Code: # An example configuration file for MPD # See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
[Code]...
I googled my issue, and didn't come up with much to help me. Any advice on this? It's not a completely pressing issue, but I would like to know what is going on and how I can fix this, since I never messed with MPD before in my life.
I want to be able to grab some text from a directory listing in a bash script, and then apply that text to future commands in the same script. For instance, say I do "ls -lais /media/Movies" and get:
2147560409 712544 -rwxr-x--- 1 root users 729645056 1999-03-07 11:45 Young Guns (1987).avi 2147560410 712400 -rwxr-x--- 1 root users 729497600 2002-01-09 01:11 Young Guns II (1990).avi
Then say I want to grab the year from this output and then use that information as part of the command to modify the file timestamp, such as:
2147560409 712544 -rwxr-x--- 1 root users 729645056 1987-01-01 12:00 Young Guns (1987).avi 2147560410 712400 -rwxr-x--- 1 root users 729497600 1990-01-01 12:00 Young Guns II (1990).avi
Anyway, that's just one example, but I often find myself needing to do this type of thing, and I'm sure its possible, just not really done enough scripting recently to know how to do it.
I have a problem with snmp answers being empty or having spaces.
What I already have:
#get all interface indexes (if you wonder - I'm working for a cable company and different cablemodems have different number and types of interfaces):
The problem is the physical address which is sometimes empty and the description which has spaces. So I'm doing 2 snmpgets which is slower than 1 snmpget (sometimes I have up to 18 interfaces).
I'm trying to explain it a bit simpler.
Interface 5 gives me back the following lines:
Ethernet CPE Interface
Now the first line should go into variable ifadm, 2nd line should go into variable ifoper, 3rd line should go into variable ifspeed, 4th line should go into variable iftype, 5th line (which is empty) should go into variable ifphys and finally 6th line (which has spaces) should go into variable ifdescr
This is a simplified minimal conky configuration file used to show the same problem:
Code: Select allalignment bottom_middle background no border_width 1 default_color white default_outline_color white default_shade_color white double_buffer yes
[Code] ....
Here is the output I'm getting:
Code: Select all ABC /*doesn't scroll, UNEXPECTED, shows 10 spaces before ABC*/ ABC --||-- abcdefghijklmnopABC /*doesn't scroll, WORKS AS EXPECTED as scroll length is 25 which is longer than text "abcdefghijklmnop" */ abcdefghijklmnopABC --||-- abcdefghijklmnopABC /*WORKS, everything before ABC scrolls 5 characters at a time*/
mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***
Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.
Said that all the config i find put all the info in one place of the screen, in this example on the right side:
url
or like conky colors where you can put in either side, or other complex examples that use folders with images..that at least i need one day to study all the variables it has...
What i want is something simple, in my black background i dont want images and effects, only white simple text.
My problem is: i want for instance my specs above, my log info in the middle, my music info bellow (above my clock) and in conky config i'm hitting my head in the wall....
For instance if i use my facebook script to appear in the midle how the hell can i put my music info bellow without ruined the facebook in the midle...do i need 2 conky configs?
if you do the command conky in terminal, it starts conky ofcourse, but it also shows output to that terminal so you can't do any other commands to that terminal, Is their an option like you can do with the '&' sign in other cases? If you do the '&' sign with conky it still gives output, also the conky -d command gives output...
when I type "conky" in terminal it returns with Conky: invalid configuration file '/home/user/.conkyrc' Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** : This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context being NULL. Please fix your program. I've tried completely uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, still same error?
I have a problem with conky. It draws a black background instead of using pseudo-transparency. I ofc tried to achieve this with feh but to no avail. All the instructions here failed: Conky Hardcore! Conky transparency with KDE (3 and 4)
Long story short... I have sifted through endless docs.. some that I understood and some that I didn't, I have posted in these forums twice (not one response) and asked my local LUG for ideas and I got nothing.
I have an audio mixer that I am desperate to get working with Ubuntu 9.10, and despite working fine with Vista (so I know it's not my hardware or Mic's etc.) I can't achieve this to save my life.
At this point, I would like to just go with what works and stick with Vista, but like a fool it was me who suggested to some long distance collaborators that we all try to use Ubuntu. Now I am the only one not working...
I am frustrated to no end here. But I figure I will ask one more time and pray that someone can help me here.
How can I get Ubuntu to accept my mixer as input for audio recording??
I should also state that I am having no other audio issues that I am aware of, and that the cheap, sounds like crap mic that is built into my monitor DOES work with Ubuntu. I need to change away from this mic as the input source and over to my mixer which is connected to my sound card.
Sorry to repeat myself here but I wish to stress that this configuration of mics into mixer into computer is something I have been doing for years on the mac and with windows so I know the problem here lies with Ubuntu. And like I say, I am dual booting now on an HP desktop with Vista and I have success with Vista.
I'm trying to configure PulseAudio using the official guide and can't get past the first step where it tells me to input pulseaudio -nC.
1. How can I get into the PA console/daemon to use the official guide 2.If I can't get PA setup correctly, is there an ALSA sound mixer I can use to modify sound levels for various running applications. 2B. Is there a sound mixer that works with OSS applications as well? Most apps these days are ALSA, but some older ones (like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) use OSS.
I just installed Xubuntu on a new computer.One problem i came across, was the volume control at the top panel (near the clock).Unlike Ubuntu's volume control, it just opens up a sound mixer instead of being able to adjust the volume right away with one left-click. Is there anyway to get that to happen? Even my keyboard's volume control doesn't work in Xubuntu, but it worked perfectly fine in Ubuntu.
If i try to add a new applet into the panel, there is ONLY the MIxer, which is not what i want. There are no options to add regular volume controls anywhere that i can just left-click and adjust right away.

I've been trying to make my microphone work and so I've pretty much messed around with the mixer (KMixer), mainly adding channels to the "equalizer" and checking and clearing "capture" boxes. After I did that my sound "disappeared" - I have no sound whatsoever (not even Kubuntu's initialization sound).
How can I fix this? Is it possible to go back to the "default" configuration?
how do I set my record source as system mixer so that I will be able to record audio streams? In Lucid, I couldn't find any options other than line in and mic.
Every time reboot or log in i have to readjust my settings in the mixer. volume is at 0 and i have to adjust the tone control and its settings every time to get it back.
I have 2 button in the task bar and I don't know why its disapear and how to make it reappear again? The sound mixer button The Sign out button I have already tried by right click/Add to panel but I didn't find these button!
I have not been able to find but one post which stated they had successfully gotten ubuntu to work with Alesis Multimix 8 USB mixer. I have the very latest release of Ubuntu. I read where the gentlemen claims that [URL]... is the reason he was able to start using his alesis mixer. I'm just letting everyone know that I am going to try this. When I'm done I'll let you know if it works.
I've got a headset with a microphone plugged in, but not recognized by KDE's mixer.
Code: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc. Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset The device is visible in system settings: System Settings->Multimedia->Phonon->Audio Capture
but not in the mixer under Capture Devices. Is there an easy way to get either the notebook's built-in mic or the headset mic to start?
I am running F12 and I use Amarok to manage/play my music library.
I keep having a problem where the mixer 'Surround' in my alsa volume gets maxed whenever I switch tracks in Amarok. I want to stop this from happening because it causes my speakers to buzz just loudly enough to drive me crazy.
i've just created a new .asoundrc which uses dmix. So i can use it in KDEs systemsettings. And all Programs can use the sound devices at the same time. The only Program who makes trouble is skype. If i hear music or watch tv and an skype systemsound comes, i must restart the Soundtrack. Now i have seen that skype uses ALSA. But if i set the default settings, skype would like to have exclusivly access for the sounddevices. Exists any way, to use skype with a mixer like dmix, so all applications have collaborative access to the sound devices.
I'm still battling Linux sound. It just never sounds as good as Windows, and it's starting to piss me off now that I'm running Linux full time and my audio sounds like poop.
1) For audio that was recorded low, max volume in the app and the desktop mixer isn't always enough. I need a way to go beyond the norms. I've tried the Vlc preamp, but it just ends up causing distortion.
2) The sound quality is continually disappointing, and apps either don't have an EQ, or poor quality EQ's
I also don't want to spend 6 months learning how to use the new piece of software. Is there anything you can recommend to give me more volume and possibly a decent EQ, ideally with standard presets (e.g., 'rock, pop, classicl', etc.)?
when I upgraded to xubuntu 9.1 I was pleased to find a mixer control sitting in my notification area.well, yesterday I was doing a little "house cleaning" and removing apps I didn't use. I removed Brasero, Listen and Sound Recorder. I use xfBurn, Banshee and Audacity. now I notice today that I am missing the mixer control that I had like so much. still have xfce4-mixer, but all the controls have been reset. and I can't get it to minimize/close to the notification area
I have got my headset connecting to the system using the BlueMan interface. When I first did this it gave me a error about not being able to put the sound on-top of 'pulseaudio'. Well this well about the last straw between me and Mr. 'PulseAudio', so away he went. I removed the demon via this instruction. [ubuntu] Safely Remove Pulseaudio?
I then tried connecting to my bluetooth headset again, no errors. But the bluetooth sound device does not show up in any mixer, or application. What else do I need to do to get this working again. I know my hardware is fine, it used to work in the previous version of Ubuntu and it all works on my wifes Windoze XP computer.
