I have a dual monitor configuration. Monitor one is the embedded Seiko panel on my laptop (resolution = 1920X1200). Monitor two is an emachines something-or-other (resolution = 1440X900).
I am running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell XPS M1530.
Graphics card is an NVidia 8600M GT.
When I log in to my account, the first thing that I do is activate the external monitor.
If I try to launch Totem (Movie Player) from the dock, I encounter an X screen error where the output on my laptop's screen reflects that of the external monitor, resolution and all. Because the external monitor is at a lower resolution, this takes up only a portion of the embedded screen; the rest of the space looks like the output has been tiled.
Here is a screenshot:Screenshot.jpg
If I close Totem and reconfigure my monitors (I usually just change the resolution on the embedded screen from Auto to 1920x1200), then I'm back to the proper output.
If I try to launch Totem after I have reconfigured my monitors, I do not encounter the same problem. If I log out and log back in, the problem can be reproduced.
I have a desktop hooked up to a router and plugged into my TV. I like to run Totem and have videos running full screen on my TV. I would like to control that Totem using my laptop (connected to the same router over wifi). How would I go about doing that? I connected to my desktop using SSH and tried to send signals to Totem, but nothing worked. I tried using VNC, and that was ineffective as well.
i have movie player (totem) and as an alternate vlc. both will play store bought encrypted dvds very well etc. however, movie player when on "videos" for instance will frequently flag the search operation with one/ two of the following:
"error looking up uri/ cannot resolve host name" or "error looking up video uri" automount failed: mount point for org.gtk.vfs; mountpoint.http already running" or "an error occurred location not found"
it is difficult to clear and unstick these red flags. audio from rhythmbox music player is awesome. what dependent file or plug-in am i lacking or need to delete?
While trying to run avi file using totem, I get error. As I tried to "search" as used by totem, I get: $ totem A Walk To Remember.avi ** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-divx, divxversion=(int)3, framerate=(fraction)2997/125, width=(int)640, height=(int)272 ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)48000, channels=(int)2, codec_data=(buffer)010002000000880101000000 ** Message: Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins ..... How can I get the codecs?
My parents have a 8 yr old computer, and they have been running linux for the last 2 years- our graphics card has been a nightmare. It has not worked right....since we first installed 7.10. In 9.04 it could still halfway play DVD's & videos (just barely). No longer in 10.04- Mplayer, totem, xine & VLC die when you try to play a video- any video.
And here's what I get(in terminal): The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 89 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19). (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Earlier today I downloaded a video of a Mozilla Project preview, in MP4. Of course, it won't play. All I get is the audio, and this error:

"An error occurred. The playback of this movie requires a H.264 decoder plugin which is not installed."
I put in some time, researching this issue, trying to figure it all out. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places. Is this a proprietary format issue? Also, when I was overdosing on XP, my media drug of choice was Klite mega codec pack (from codecs.com). It literally plays every media format, audio and video. In addition to fixing the above issue, can somebody guide me to an equivalent player with codecs for [insert any media type here]? I have several Terrabytes of various video and audio files, and prefer to not convert them all.
Hello. I use dvd::rip 0.98.10 to create .wav sound files from DVDs and then play them in Totem Movie Player 2.28.2 (using GStreamer 0.10.25) mainly because I like the visualizations. It always used to work, but a recent batch will not play. I get: GStreamer encountered a general stream error. I probably used a more recent version of dvd::rip for the ones which don't play. Both MPlayer and VLC Media player plays them without a problem and older rips play fine in Totem too. The Audio/Video properties of a 'faulty' file (as shown in Nautilus) are greyed out for codec, channels etc., whereas a 'good' file shows Audio properties as Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio etc., but running soxi on a good or bad file gives the same (good) results. I'd like to get this working, without doing anything to the .wavs preferably, so I guess I need to do something to Gstreamer, but I'm really not sure how to proceed. I'm using Linux Mint 8 64bit (rt kernel) and very nice it is too.
Cannot watch second, third, etc, streams from a server-side playlist (ie, .wsx on windows media service). I have tried mplayer, vlc, totem, and xine. Xine totally fails and the other three play only the first stream as described. You can verify it works in wine by using Windows Mediaplayer v10 (`winetricks wmp10` on a clean wine prefix).
The particular example I am dealing with is not an ideal test-case as they dynamically mangle the stream's URL to prevent leeching. You can test it by either visiting $URL (below) or from command line:
My research has brought up only two or three random posts citing a similar problem. All seem to be quite old (circa 2008). The most relevant is:

I have attached the output from:
Code:
mplayer -msglevel all=9 "$MMS" &>mplayer.output
You will see that mplayer is seeing an EOF and terminating (perhaps the server is too slow so mplayer's timeout triggers EOF condition?). I tired fooling with -vid/-aid flags to no avail.
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'm trying to view a movie in totem but an error occurs saying missin plugin text/html totem can't find im when it asks to search for. what can i do to solve this error
I've been trying to install Ubuntu Server onto Microsoft Virtual Server at the request of my boss, and I've been having an issue I cannot seem to work around. Now my background on Ubuntu and linux in general isnt amazing, I have configured server at home to act as a file sharing platform and a media server, but thats about it.
Now I've gone to install it on the MVS at work and once the install completes, I recieve the following error: Hypervisor error.JPG
I've tried running the install but limiting the resolution, but from what I can rememeber server doesnt install the GUI to start with, so it should just be showing me the standard CLI.
every time I try to connect to the ftp server I setup i am recieving this error Response:*** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/sbin/vsftpd terminated Error:Could not connect to server
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with a complete LAMP installation (for local developement purpose).
Everything is OK (I installed phpMyAdmin without problems) except for one big problem: php shows 500 server internal error instead of a complete error report.
I tried editing php.ini and in-script runtime configuration but nothing changed.
I just downloaded a new version of totem movie player because the older one had a bug while taking a screenshot which has been reported already I saw.I have the tar.gz with a lot of files in it, so how to install it easily?
I'm working with OpenSusse 11.2. I installed and activated the NFS server via yast2. I exported the relevant directory via yast2 (NFS server configurastion) I'm trying to setup my Linux target to boot via NFS. The kernel boots up but fails to mount the file system. When looking on a capture from ethereal it can be found that the NFS server return error when client try to mount the /nfstest directory from this server. The returned error is 13
I use web server apache use php fastcgi (Centos 5.2, apache 2.2.9 , php 5.2.5 and fcgi-2.2.4 ). I receive error : "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. contact the server administrator, no-reply@zz.vn and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. I view log :
I've edited the default file list association; sudo gedit/etc/gnome/defaults.list replacing all the totem.desktop with vlc.desktop (ctrl+H). however I don't understand how but VLC opens only certain files such as .flac, .wmv but not .mp3, .avi
I installed my DVB-T board and I can watch TV using VLC and my channels.conf file. I saved a copy of channels.conf as ~/.gstreamer-0.10/dvb-channels.conf but when I start Totem (GStreamer ed.), I don't see a "Watch TV" option under the "Movie" menu.
When I first installed Ubuntu 10.04, my XF86 buttons worked perfectly with Totem. I could pause, stop, fast forward, etc with no problems. I would prefer to use VLC or something as my media player, but I could not figure out how to get these media buttons to work so I just stuck with Totem.
Well, within the last couple of weeks my XF86 buttons have run into some issues. If Totem is in the foreground, they all still work perfectly, but if Totem is minimized or not the focus window the buttons no longer interact with it in any way. My volume keys still control the system volume with no problems. If I am working in emacs and I press the play/pause button emacs will print the error "<XF86AudioPlay> is undefined". So I know that the system is getting the commands, but they aren't being sent to the right windows. Is this an X11 problem? gstreamer?
Thought I would post this up here, because I've been searching for a solution, and not found one online:Problem description When playing both .mp4 and .rm files, the sound played fine, but the display remained black.
Solution Open the Configuration Editor (run gconf-editor in the terminal). Navigate to system > gstreamer > 0.10 > default, double-click on videosink and change the setting from autovideosink to ximagesink
I am merely trying to change the port for my ssh server.However it isn't changing.I edited my ssh_config file to:
Code:
# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See # ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for[code]...
When i try to connect to my server via port 443 i get a connection refused error. However when i try to connect via port 22 it connects. Since that didn't work, i tried restarting the entire server.To restate, i changed the config file and restarted ssh then the computer, however the port didn't change.Ohh and yes my router is set to port forwarding on port 443, though it doesn't matter since I'm inside the network.
