View 5 Replies View RelatedI have multiple noisy photos (caputed without tripod) that needs to be adjusted (moved/rotated) and averaged.
How it's better to do it in Linux with FOSS console-based programs?
Current way is something like:
mplayer mf://*.JPG -vo yuv4mpeg:file=qqq.yuv
transcode -i qqq.yuv -y null -J stabilize=maxshift=500:fieldsize=100:fieldnum=6:stepsize=50:shakiness=10
transcode -i qqq.yuv -J transform=smoothing=100000:sharpen=0:optzoom=0 -y raw -o www.yuv
Update: Experimented with "Hugin". It only distorted all photos according some "projection" and refused to merge them: enblend: excessive overlap detected; remove one of the images. Of course "excessive" - they're all almost in the same place. No averaging? /* and images are not actually aligned */.
Proceeding to experiments with enblend/panorama_tools/ale.
Is there a way to combine multiple folders into one "folder" similar to the way that Windows7 does Libraries? That way movies, for instance, would be able to be distributed on multiple drives, but appear in one place, when wanted. sort of like mounting multiple folders on on one mount point.

I have been successful and so the majority of my work is over. My question is simple (I think) but complex to me so... here it goes. Is there a way on one command line to "batch" convert 8 or 9 files together instead of one by one. I just don't know what to put on the command line. I took one UNIX class a long time ago and the terms pipe and such come to mind... but I forget. Any takers?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a application launcher (type:terminal) to replace the index.php on my apache server (/var/www/) with the index I keep updated on my desktop.
This is the exact script I'm using on the launcher:
My idea was the launcher would delete the current file at /var/www/, and then copy the file on /home/andre/Desktop.
But its not behaving properly, it is deleting both the file in my /var/www/ AND my desktop.
With xterm, I can do the following, and the scripts are executed sequentially in a single xterm: xterm -e 'script1.sh;script2.sh' But with gnome-terminal, when I do: gnome-terminal -e script1.sh;script2.sh It runs them in parallel in 2 different terminals. I've tried a few combinations of ", and ', around the scrips, but no difference.

This works locally, but I need to get it to work through SSH and I have no idea how to do that. The relevant portion of the script is below.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have spent the most part of 5 hours trying to fix this issue. For some reason I cannot change the background image to any of mt .jpg wallpaper files (and .png files). I've tried using the Ubuntu-Tweak application, but I end up getting a purple screen (default) or a black screen (default). So then I tried using the terminal method by making the Appearance window appear when I would log out. That works, except when I go to use my background image, it shows as a question mark for the image preview, and the icon for the file is a gray box. All while doing this my background images that I tested are all in the /usr/share/backgrounds location. Please help! I really want to get rid of the default images and use my images... :/ My desktop/screen in 1440x900, and most my background images are around that size. They work with my regular desktop for my account.
