View 1 RepliesWhen you add medibuntu to 10.04, isn't there supposed to be a "medibuntu" sub-category on the left side? I installed the medibuntu repo expecting that I'd find google earth in there. But when I added it, I didn't see it listed there - even after rebooting.

The camera works in lots of other software,Cheese to luvcview to testing with gstreamer-properties But Skype's video crashes when I try to use the video camera. Usually a segmentation fault.
Lots of other threads here suggest that using the version of skpye packages in medibuntu is the solution. So I added medibuntu to my /etc/apt/sources.list, reloaded to get the latest directories. I don't see any "skype" to install, either in Synaptics or in the shell with apt-get Output from apt-cache search is
# apt-cache search skype
skytools - Database management tools from Skype to PostgreSQL
python-skype - Skype API wrapper for Python
skysentials - extra functionalities for Linux Skype client
skype-mid - Skype for MIDs
p.s. any one have clues as to why this broke going from 9.04 to 9.10?
I upgraded to 10.10. Now I want to install medibuntu. I have the repos added, but when I try to add the key-ring with the terminal it won't add. Can someone give me the command for that again?

free AND NONE FREE
I recently discovered the medibuntu repository and wanted to add the repository to synaptic. I copied and pasted the code from this: [URL] web page on medibuntu.org's website.
The attachment shows exactly what the terminal spit out after running this command (and the command that was run - of course). What I am wondering about is the last six lines - which seem to indicate that, at a minumum, getting some key was not successful. I'm not sure how important this is; but, since I don't actually have anything I need to install from this repository right now, I wanted to be sure I'm squared away for when a time may come in the future.
After running the command I did the following to try and determine the status:
I went into synaptic > settings > repositories and looked under two of the tabs to see what was there:
The tab, "Other Sortware" Lists two entries at the bottom that stood out to me. They are:
Medibuntu - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) which was checked.
And:
Medibuntu (Source) - Ubuntu 11.04 "natty narwhal" (http:// packages.medibuntu.org/natty free non free) (Source Code) which was not checked.
The tab, "Authentication" lists a total of three entries. Their descriptions are:
Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key
And:
Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key
None of those (under this Authentication tab) strike me as having anything to do with medibuntu (could be wrong though - just not sure).
Finally, I did a search in synaptic for a library I think should be available through medibuntu, "libdvdcss." I was presented with a list of eight items, none of them matching libdvdcss by title. The closest match by title and description that I could identify was, "libdvdread4" This I did as a sort of test to see if I might be accessing that repository.
Skype is not available for 9.10 through medibuntu, does anyone know why?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a machine from 9.10 in the hopes that 10.04 will have fixed the audio problems that were present in the 9.10 installation -- the problem being that I have no audio. When I check the pulseaudio volume meter, it shows audio present in both channels. I've not been able to find anything where a mute button is checked.
Thinking it might be a codec, I tried to reinstall Medibuntu. I get the error message: unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg. Is another process using it. I've done a "ps -ef" looking for a process that might be causing problems, but no luck. I'm using an Intel ICH5 audio board -- if I'm reading everything correctly.
Sorry for the multiple headings, but I thought they might be inter-related. What I'd like: audio playback from an on-line source (Hulu.com). Ideas on how to make that happen will If medibuntu isn't part of the problem, just let that slide by, and I'll post a separate help "request" later.
i recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 LTS onto my new machine and when i tried to add the medibuntu repository using the
sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
command i receive this error..

I removed old ffmpeg
Code:
sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg
Want to install new one from Medibuntu repository. I have issued command on [URL]
Is there a command which display the repository of given archive (which will be installed) ? I wan to ensure that future installed ffmpeg will be installed from Medibuntu and not from some other repository.
I'm following the instructions in the Medibuntu wiki. When I run the command in the terminal to add it to the repository, it runs for a couple of minutes then gives this error: Code:W: GPG error: URL...The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY BE1B248616AE4E77.What does that mean, and how can I fix it?

Now I was on this website and tried to add the repository to get the Medibuntu packages with the following code:

Unfortunately, I am stuck running jaunty -- because my company still requires this as our standard OS for our software. I have a computer with a fresh install of 9.04 but of course none of the medibuntu packages. Why did they take down jaunty from the medibuntu repository! Where I can get these packages now? (w32codecs, etc.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedNot much of an expert with computers and completely new with Linux. I am considering installation of openSUSE 11.3 and I know for a fact that my PC can handle the 64-bit version. Questions:
1) Do the 32- and 64-bit versions install with the same kind of software packages?
2) Does the 64-bit version have more/less/equal available software in the repositories for download?
3) If I wanted to set up a workgroup with another PC that has Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Windows XP Pro (both 32-bit) installed, would it matter which bit version of openSUSE I use? (In terms of ease in creating the workgroup, access of files, etc.)
4) If I install the 32-bit version now, can I switch to the 64-bit version later? What are the caveats?
As I said at the beginning, I am not much literate on these things so I hope I am not asking nonsense questions...
On the downloads page I notice the cd's are not upgradable, but the dvd free version is.. This seems backward to me. The cd's have less stuff so they should be able to be upgraded to the fuller version via the repos - or at least get all the stuff it's missing. Where as the dvd's are stuffed with over 3 gigs of things one would think it should not need any upgrading.
Or are they talking about being upgradable to the paid for version? or something entirely different?
Can any one tell me what are the differences, pros and cons when I install something from source versus installing that thing from rpm.

2. Another way to ask this might be: Suppose you already had 9.10 (which many of you do), and suppose you also have a safe /home (so that in a fresh install you wont loose /home), what is the advantage of a fresh install as compared to Upgrade.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a description of the features and differences between the Desktop and Default kernels? Did "Desktop" arrive with 11.2 and 2.6.31? I did not notice it at first. I loaded 11.2 on a desktop machine and both default and desktop kernels were loaded to system, with Desktop set as default in grub. I have been working thru several "strange" behaviors ever since loading 11.2. At the top of my list has been the ability to shutdown the system from remote logins. I normally connect to the system via a Xwindows package (Xmanager). X works fine and I could shutdown via the GUI (Application Launcher - Leave-Shutdown).
When connected via a remote ssh link, either from a windows machine or a different linux machine, attempts to shutdown (shutdown -H now) send the expected messages, close the remote connections but leave the system still powered on but in a no-remote-connectivity state. When I upgraded to KDE 4.3.4 following the Forum Repository guidelines, I could no longer shutdown via the GUI. In searching about, I found that the Desktop kernel was running. Changed grub, rebooted under default, shutdown under GUI works again. So, for starters, I am trying to decide which kernel environment (default or desktop) should be my target for continuing to work thru issues.
