Ubuntu :: Converting .rpm Files To Deb For Install?
Jun 10, 2010
I have heard that tclient v2 is much better than the one that comes with ubuntu or even remmina and have found a rpm package for it.
I search and found I should use alien to convert to a deb so I can install; I am getting the following error :-
sudo alien -k tsclient-2.0.2-1.fc11.src.rpm
error: incorrect format: unknown tag
mkdir: cannot create directory `tsclient-2.0.2': File exists
nable to mkdir tsclient-2.0.2: at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
I am running alien from the directory where the .rpm file is and while the extraction is done the creation of a deb file is not.

I copied some songs off a CD and wanted to convert them to mp3. Is there a program that I should have used to rip them that would have done that or is there a program that will convert them for me?

Is there a way (strictly in Ubuntu -- well I am viewing the noteworthy files under wine) to convert these files to lilypond format? I have tried the nwc2ly converter, but so far without any success. Any thoughts, or suggestions? You see I have a friend that has done a lot of Orthodox Music in NWC, but I want to get it into Lilypond as it will look better, and then I can easily convert to pdf, and easily change things if needed, etc. But I would rather not have to print and retype it all.

What's the accepted method for converting Mythtv's nuv files to avi files now?
I ask this because nuvexport seems to be unsupported these days. The last released version removed support for using transcode to convert the files. This leaves only mencoder and ffmpeg, and these have the following problems:
1) mencoder is much, much too slow. It takes about five times as long to convert a file as transcode ever did.
2) Ubuntu's ffmpeg is crippled, and doesn't work. I realise that there are instructions for installing a version of ffmpeg that works, but as this does not provide any method for creating Debian packages of it, I do not wish to pollute my filesystem with a mish-mash of manually installed software.
Is there any way to convert nuv files with transcode?

I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L.
1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic
2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.

I downloaded a couple of TTA files and they are just static on playback. Do I need a different codec or something? Converting the files to FLAC yielded the same results. I'm running a 10.04 64bit machine.

I'm tryin' to convert media files to other formats using winff.But nothing happens ! I mean a terminal window popping up and then nothing happens to the files , I tried many formats like (wmv,avi,flv,mp3,wma etc.) to others , and I have all prerequisites . I'm not sure
- ffmpeg (Multimedia player)
- Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin (Codecs to play formats)
- libmp3lame
- libmp3lame (DEV - I thought that this could be useful)
and this is an image off winFF on my desktop ,

i need a command line application for converting .pptx (PowerPoint 2007) Files into .ppt (PP 2000/2003/XP)Files.
Is there any tool existing or is it even possible to do the convert via openoffice?
The only requirement is, to do that via command line or a script which can be executed from the command line.

I am looking for a nice and simple GUI app that can handle multiple audio formats and convert between them, something like Xrecode in windoze. Maybe by any chances you know about such alternative or similar application
If no such application exist, then i would like to find some solution for easy conversion for these scenarios:
Mainly i keep my music collection in flac format, so i mostly care for conversion from other formats to flac.

I've been a Linux user for 5 years, though this I only recently started using RPM based distros. I'm still in my first week using Fedora and I love it. Hats off to the development team. Now, onto my question:
I have a rather large collection of music in three different formats: MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I'd like to shrink my library by converting all the flac files to ogg. However, since I don't want to convert from lossy to lossy, I'm going to leave the mp3s alone. Is there a program that will allow me to do this quickly and easily? I'd prefer a GUI, though I'm comfortable working with the terminal if needed.

I was able to convert a Real Estate Firm from using Microsoft OSS to OpenSuse 11.2.The Real estate agents in the firm are pleased and some are not but it's the cost of doing business and saving money.I am at a cross road or should I say I have come to a bump in the road. Most of the agents create their flyers and signs in Microsoft Publisher, I tried Open Office 3.X and I'm unable to open or edit the files in question.Do have any suggestions or could you point me in the direction of a solid solution that will help me either convert the files or a program that can be used with-in OpenSuse 11.2 that can edit the files

I'm rather new to linux, and I have a dedi server. I know how to browse, install, remove etc, all the basics needed to use it. I've installed flvtool2, memcoder and ffmpeg, and at the moment im converting avi files in to flv. Im then passing metadata using yamdi.
However, this process is very timely as im converting loads of avi files at a time.Im looking for a script, or a way where I can execute one command/script and which will convert all files in the directory I specify, then run those converted files through yamdi.Im guessing it would be some sort of loop, and then changing for each file?

I've not used Fedora since 2007, the last time I tried an install it merged all my existing partitions into one LVM group.
Is the normal behaviour of Fedora to convert all partitions into one Physical Volume?
Is yes, is there a way to disable this during install?
I prefer to manage my partitions individually.

i am converting my DVDs into a media library. The ripping itself is no problem. (using Xilisoft dvd-rip under wine; works flawless).
when i convert to a mp4 file, with good quality, the output is always around 1.2 -1.8 gb. depending on the movie file. i tried Xvid and the size is pretty much the same. only by reduucing the pixel size etc... i get like a 600-800 mb file.
when i see other ripped movies, with about the same movie length, they getting 800mb mp4, in perfect quality, no smaller screen, pixels are great etc... is there any kind of advanced setting to it? bitrate, audio? to get down to this file size..?
