Ubuntu :: Grabbing Edge Of Windows When Resizing
Aug 17, 2010I've got a basic install (i.e., nothing fancy, no compwiz or whatever) of 10.4 (64 bit) on my computer, running gnome desktop. I find it very difficult to "grab" the edge of a window, when I want to resize it longer or wider and frequently I just wind up selecting the window below it when I try to drag it wider or longer. Is there a way to increase the border area in which that arrow-pointing-to-edge (as opposed to the usual cursor) appears to make it easier to grab the damn thing?

Jun 9, 2011I 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:
touch "Young Guns (1987).avi" -t 198701011200
touch "Young Guns II (1990).avi" -t 199001011200
So that the result of ls -lais is:
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.
Ubuntu :: Grabbing Short Clip From Audio File
May 12, 2010I've got a short mp3 file from the BBC's League of Gentlemen comedy show. In the clip, Papa Lazarou tells his dwarfs to put a poster in the local shop. Then he says "Tell them the circus is coming to town."I'd like to grab that sentence "Tell them the circus is coming to town" so I can make it into a ringtone for my phone or something.

May 20, 2010What's the best command to use to grab just a regular expression from some text input? I've got is some input is in the form:
<uninteresting><start-marker><good stuff><end-marker><uninteresting>
I can construct a RE to match <start-marker>.*<end-marker>, but is there a utility that would return *just* the <good stuff> I'm interested in? I realise that the alternative is something along the lines of:
Code:
cat <input-file> | awk -F'start-marker' 'print ${2}' | awk -F'end-marker' 'print ${1}'
but it would be better if I could do it all in one go.

Aug 2, 2010I would like to grab wiki code from a wiki page using wget. Running this grabs HTML:
wget -O wikihtml.html [URL]
The first attempt at getting wiki code was to pretend to edit, and run:
wget -O wikiedit.html [URL]
but of course that grabs GUI HTML. I thought perhaps the text inside the text box would be in tact, but HTML is througout. How to get just the raw wiki code?
Programming :: Grabbing Window Content Requires Drawable
Apr 9, 2010I'd like to write a C/C++ program, that would grab content of window (in form of pixmap), which belongs to another application and do something with it. However, I ran into problems already at the beginning. In all toolkits I have searched through, I only found one function that claims to do what I want, namely XGetImage from Xlib. However, among other parameters like Display, coordinates, etc., it requires a Drawable. How do I specify a Drawable, that would correspond to the window I want to grab content of? Is there any easier way to achieve this?

Jun 28, 2009I want to display an un-intrusive graphical dialog to notify the workstation user that a bash script has finished running. It should be "top level", so visible to the user when it appears but should not grab focus, so the user can continue working in the current window and dismiss the notification when convenient. Researching gdialog, xdialog, xmessage and zenity it seems none of them can do this; they all grab focus.

Oct 17, 2010When I play large HD videos in mplayer, the video and sound frequently get out of sync, and the video plays a little strangely (occasionally speeding up and occasionally slowing down).
I think it's because mplayer is only running on a single core. As I've got a quad-core processor, it seems inefficient. I've seen that there is theoretically a way to get mplayer to work with multicore setups, but it requires compiling with different options. That'd take me a little while to work through.
Ideally there would be a pre-compiled version in the software centre, or a player which has support built in (again, ideally in the software centre). Is there such a thing available?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Video Card Swap - Screen Using A Default Video Driver
Jan 25, 2011If I take out the existing video card and put in another one of a different type (but not a different brand), how does Ubuntu behave? I know what Windows typically does. Windows starts up the screen using a default video driver which is at least 1024 by 768 and then asks you what this new bit of hardware is and asks where the drivers are. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has default drivers of its own, but I don't know what their resolution is.

Apr 20, 2011I have a video file in which the audio runs faster than the video, so they quickly go out of sync. The way to fix it would be to separate the audio and video streams, speed up the video (the audio is FINE, it's the video that's wrong), and then recombining them. What is the easiest way for doing that?

Jun 19, 2011Got a bit of a problem where xorg can't start kdm. I pulled out a dying AGP card to try and switch to onboard video, and I think the previous configuration is gumming up the works.I've been running this system for quite a while, as you'll be able to tell from the version numbers.Would like to avoid having to transport my Amarok databases to a new server. I make heavy use of the song ratings and whenever I try to transport the database from the old system to a fresh build I have to spend hours relearning sql commands.Any ideas how to either fix the resolutions on the ATI or (preferably) get KDE to start on the onboard graphics?

Feb 26, 2010video playback is like I have applied a blueish sepia filter over it. And this is just the playback from totem player or mplayer, and not the playback from .....

May 30, 2011this happens with both VLC and Totem, when in either of those programs playing a video, if I click on one of the top menus, say View in Totem, the video stays on top of the drop down options. In order to see the options I have to hover over them with the mouse at which point they become momentarily visible. I read a post somewhere where someone had a similar problem and it was solved by reinstalling Compiz, but I've tried uninstalling it entirely, reinstalling it, etc. and none of it works. It doesn't happen with flash videos in firefox, it does happen with visualisations in Totem, and it only started happening since I upgraded to 11.04.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Video Resolution Seems To Change During Video Playback
Apr 11, 2011I am setting up a MythTV environment to switch from Windows based MediaPortal (with a high number of disturbing bugs). Yet, I have three difficulties, which I want to discuss with you. They are:
- No audio via HDMI see [URL]
- Video resolution seems to change during video playback
- Channels cannot be found via DVB-S [URL]
As you can see, I have created three posts to keep discussions focused.
Alltogether I have the following setup:
- AMD 5050e CPU
- 8 GByte RAM
- Biostar TA890GXE
- Samsung LE40M86BD, connected via HDMI (and only HDMI)
- Mythbuntu 10.10 with proprietary drivers installed
- Technisat Skystar HD2 DVB-S card (two times)
Now, here is the problem:
Whenever I playback any video material using e.g. VLC, the screen resolution changes. This also applies when playback the video in a window and not fullscreen. The problem is that whenever the screen resolution changes, short time later the TV set blanks screen and show the TV set specific information "unsupported video mode".
How can I enforce to stay in the configured video mode?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Severe Lag For All 3-d Video Games - Video Driver ?
Aug 6, 2011I am running gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.04, a clean installation from the gNatty version, 32 bit. The machine is a Lenovo t420, with 6GB RAM and a integrated video card.
Everything is running smoothly but not for games. I tried urban terror, Tremulous, Nexuiz, all of the lags from the very beginning as if I was using a machine 5 years ago to run today's video games (ie, takes 10 seconds for a mouse move a show, audio lags, .etc). From my experience it should come from video card driver not installed, but the update manager shows all device works fine (indeed, the screen resolution is 1600X900).
