I have a rar file within I've many Arabic titled files "look picture below" this file is created under windows
Now I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and file roller 2.32.0 for Gnome and my files' titles look like this it is too difficult to rename files one by one.
I cannot play encoded dvds, or access the menu options of dvds with menus.1. My dvd drive appears to work fine. It can play anything else i put in it.2. I have enabled Restricted Formats and Medibuntu. Both are fine.3. I have installed libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4. Both are fine.4. I have installed VLC. It can see the tracks on the disk but cycles through them without playing anything.5. I have Gnome MPlayer. It can see the tracks on the disk, but not open the menu screen. It can even play tracks on the disk, but only from 25 minutes into the track and onwards. (?!?) The image and audio work fine so it can obviously read the data, but it can't manage the menu and finding the first 25 minutes of each track.. Everything is up to date. Nothing appears broken.I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years now and have challenged many Windows friends to change. Some have. But without a dvd player... That's going to be like selling a three-wheeled car.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to play a VC-1 encoded MKV-file under Linux (Ubuntu 10 / latest Mint, both are affected), but VLC reports that it isn't able to decode WVC-1. VLC is able to play this file under Fedora 13, OS X and Windows, while both mplayer and ffplay are able to play this movie under Ubuntu 10 and Linux Mint.
I made two log files that where previously posted on the VLC forum, where I was told that it looks like there is a problem with the avcodec. I have basic experience with compiling stuff, but my knowledge of C++ and the linux internals is close to null. Which packages do I need to build from source in order recreate avcodec and its dpendendcies?
Link to error log running Ubuntu 10 and latest "Linux Mint" (reinstalled multiple times):[url]

And last but not least a link to my thread on the VLC board:[url]
I have a URL that I'm trying to redirect back to the homepage on my site. For some reason since it contains hex I can't seem to get it to work.
A sample source URL is:
[url]
The destination URL is:
[url]
I've tried many different things to no avail.
Some things include:
Redirecting source URLs with REG_LOGINfromURL will get me what I need. Some of my examples work when the source URL does not contain enconded characters, so if the URL was instead [url] it would redirect.
I'm running RHEL 4 and Apache/2.0.52.
I have a few hard disks fully encrypted with Truecrypt. They have not been partitioned, just encoded right of the bat with Truecrypt. I just use Truecrypt command line to mount them, supplying password whe asked.
So from a linux standpoint, they show up as disks with unallocated space.
But I recently updated (moved) my linux from Ubuntu to Kubuntu. In the process, the partition manager asked where to install the new OS, I answered erase existing system and install there. But I noticed too late that the install program decided to install GRUB on another disk, one of my encrypted disks, instead of the system disk already selected. I don't know why, but it did. Now this disk shows up in linux as a disk with multiple partitions, and of course I can no longer mount it with Truecrypt.
I haven't done anything with the disk, except from trying to mount it in Truecrypt. So apart from the GRUB install, nothing else was touched on the disk.
I know Truecrypt place a backup header towards the end of the encrypted disk, so it should still be there intact, but since I now have multiple partitions, Truecrypt is certainly confused and cannot see the end of the disk since I now have 4 of them (partitions).
I am not a beginner but I am hesitant to attempt something that could kill all hopes of recovering the disk. It is a 2TB disk with a lot of data on it. I could probably make a copy of the entire disk but this means buying another 2TB disk....
One of the first idea was to kill the current partition setup to leave it "unpartitionned", so like it was before, maybe Truecrypt will now find the backup header. But before I do so, I would like opinion of real experts on linux.
Trying to play back h264 encoded Quicktime movies in FC9. On the Gnome desktop. Totun needs some non-existant H264 pulgin. Installed Xine, but no UI appears, only a blank screen. Yum can't find VLC.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWithin Evolution, the message body is blank but there is an attachment. This attachment may itself be blank or broken in some way.
If I can alter settings as recipient so that these fractured messages don't happen, terrific. If there is some SaveAs & filter that will let me extract the content, that is good too. If there are settings that the sender might enable on their end, I could always ask, but I'd still need that filter.
I routinely get email with "attachments" . These attachments are supposed to be other messages being forwarded to me. These 2nd, 3rd, ... level messages are routinely broken somehow so that I cannot read them with Evolution or Thunderbird. I can save as mumble.eml and scan with a text editor, but then I find large block of mime-encoded content that is often some sort of image file: JPG, PNG, PDF etc.
I have this JSON encoded data, which I want to efficiently parse (i.e. fast, with minimal system resources). I don't want to use a/the shell any more than necessary.
Here's a snippet of what the raw serial data looks like:
Code:
[{"num":1,"name":"1","visible":false,"focused":false,"rect":{"x":0,"y":0,"width":1680,"height":1050},...blah blah..
So that's fine. I currently have at least two ways of parsing it:
This Perl method (which I don't much care for because I'm not much into Perl, and because the output is not much more useful than the raw form, and imho even more cryptic):
Code:
sasha@reactor: <produce data> | perl -MData::Dumper -MJSON::XS -E 'say Dumper(decode_json <>)'
$VAR1 = [
{
code....
# Which means: at x=1680, draw a 20x20px grey block, then back up -10px and draw a "1" on the block.I figure that the two awk's I've used can be combined into one -- but I began having problems with removing the single quotes if I did it within the awk, which is why I stuck a `tr` in the middle.
I know this sucks. So, if someone has some ideas or thoughts on something else to do with this JSON data, that's less convoluted that where I'm currently going, I'll be happy to hear about it.
PS - I know this whole post is possibly hard to understand -- if you need more info (you mean you're interested in this mess?? )
Is there some kind of universally recognized pragma that one can insert at the beginning of a text document to designate it to be UTF-8 encoded (or any other encoding)? I've seen certain editors insert encoding comments, and one or two compilers that have an encoding pragma. But I was wondering if anyone has tried to establish some kind of universal tag format for text documents.

Can windows read files from a home file server with an ext4 file system? or do I have to partition the drive with the server (ext4) and an ntfs partition with the files on?
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy partitioning layout was as follows
Vista Recovery
Windows 7
GRUB
Extended
-->Fedora 12 (ext4)
so, I shrunk my recovery in Windows 7 successfully, and booted into my Fedora 12 live cd to run Gparted, and move the partitions so that the free space could go towards fedora, I did such, and then I couldn't expand the partition to my dismay. Next, I woke up this morning, tried to boot to fedora to run SSH, grub loaded, but when I tried to boot fedora, I got the "File system check failed" error, and when I tried 7, it just went to a blank screen with a single "_" in the top left-hand corner.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made an 8GB password protected Zip file on Ubuntu 10.10, sent it to a friend who's using Windows 7, and now she can't unzip it. The file transfer speeds between us are very slow, so I don't want to resend it. Every application she's tried (WinRAR, WinZip, and 7Zip) fails and gives some sort of "invalid archive format" error.
I had her do an MD5 checksum on the file and it matches mine. So, the likelihood of it being damaged during transmission is very small. I also successfully unzipped it on my end and used TeamViewer to try and get it unzipped on her end, just to make sure she wasn't doing anything wrong, she wasn't.
What could be the problem be UbuntuForums? Is there a difference in the way Windows and Linux handles zip files that is causing this problem?
that windows and Ubuntu have same founts file or different. because some fonts is very beautiful and i should purchase it for our Ubuntu 1010. or any font converter for Ubuntu Operating system.

I have tried too many things to bother explaining... including reinstalling ubuntu.
I have managed to get ubuntu to ping to xp. I had to set the ip address and netmask (?) manually.
From here i cannot get to my shared file on the windows computer.
Ive tried using nautilus and clicking on network.... I get an icon called "Windows Network" but cant browse further. Ive also tried clicking "file", "connect to netowrk" and typing in the ip address with/out share name. Ive tried using the desktop's computer name etc. Ive enabled the Guest account on windows. I have run sudo apt-get install smbfs and installed samba from the software centre. There are lots of "sambas" in the software centre... i installed the one simply called "samba"
Explain to me what I have to do to move my pics from xp to ubuntu.

I use VirtualBox at work, where windows7 is host and ubuntu 10.04 is guest operating system.
I want to access my windows drives, folders in ubuntu, when i did sudo blkid or mount or fdisk -l, i cannot see all the drives on my machine.
So i finally did with shared folders concept. Now i can't mount them wherever i want, but when i say automount in the virtualbox settings->sharedfolder, then it auto mounts in /media/E-drive??
But to see, copy,edit or access those media files, i need to be sudo?? With normal user i can't use those /media files.
Suggest a good method of sharing files from windows7 to ubuntu in virtualbox

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes Ubuntu have the equivalent of a Windows .exe self-installable file? If so, what is it called? I seem to remember installing LimeWire on Ubuntu a while back and the file I downloaded was self-installable. Is there a place where Ubuntu programs are available for download as packages that install themselves?Why are most programs for Linux not self-installable, like .exe installers in Windows? Is there a security advantage to most programs not being available for download a single automatic install file? It would be much easier for me to go to a program's website, download a single file that installs by itself, and be done with it.
Also, why is it that, unless you install a program in Ubuntu using synaptic package manager, the program cannot be uninstalled under GUI? I really love Ubuntu, but find that even having simple control over installing and uninstalling programs is a real pain. I would love to go to LibreOffice's website, download a single file for Ubuntu that would install the entire program, install it, and be done with it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI did a fresh install of Lucid alongside Vista on my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804. When I went into "Personal File Sharing" under System > Preferences, it said that the necessary packages were not installed. Using the documentation at this link: [URL] I went into a terminal, opened shares-admin, and as promised it told me that I didn't have the right software installed, and allowed me to check both NFS and SMB to install. I did so, installed, and at the end, it said everything was successful.
After exiting the dialog, the window asking me to install NFS/SMB appeared again. I selected to install, it disappeared, and then reappeared. It did this repeatedly, until I decided to close it out. I then went back to the guide, and went to add a new share. But the drop down box would not allow me to choose Windows share, only Unix (NFS). How do I enable Windows File sharing? I have used Ubuntu in the past and have got it to share with Windows computers flawlessly. Now, it appears that this essential (for me) functionality is broken.
