Ubuntu :: Play In Terminal Get The Error " No Handler For File Extension 'mp3' "?
Mar 3, 2011
I have just installed the play command in my terminal and when I try to play an mp3 i get the error " no handler for file extension 'mp3' ".Am I required to create a default action that happens when an mp3 file is called, like opening and audio player, or do I just need to install some specific drivers?
When trying to play videothe extension .vob,the following message :pa_stream_writable_size () failed. Connection terminated. I tried to follow the tread associated with that error message with little luck. Following that thread led to the following command:sudo pulseaudio --killWhen I executed that command I got the following:E: core-util.c: Home diectory home/username not oursE:main.c: failed tokill daemon: permission denied
I want to define a simple error handler for a script. Image a script that does a few commands:
Code:
ls . cd .. touch ...
whatever, it doesn't matter. I want to define one error handler for the script, so if any of the steps error than the script is terminated and the error handler is run. I see the -e option to quit on errors, but I want a GOTO on errors.
I recently installed openSUSE 11.3 (4 times, I think, which gives me always a new name for the "server" and in my terminal screen I continuously get this error: Message from syslcgd@linux-i4cz at Oct 12 06:21:57 ... kernel:[2866.05E384] do_IRQ: 0.91 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) the number after kernel: varies I then hit a few time son the [I]enter[I] key and then I get my linux prompt.
I'm trying out 10.04 LTS 64-bit from the live CD and when I try to play a MP3 or WAV file it gets the usual Search for suitable plugin? "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported." Error message so I click Search and it comes up with the error No packages with the requested plugins found.
Is this because it is in Live Mode and installing 10.04 to my hard drive will fix it or does Ubuntu no longer support audio files other then ogg and other open source audio / video file formats due to copyright problems?
You may know the Humble Indie Pack 2, which is a set of crossplatform indie video games. There's one game in the bundle that doesn't offer a 64bit build and therefore it fails to load. It's called Braid and that's what you get when you try to run it: $ ./braid ./braid: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Of course the 64bit libs for OpenGL and the propitiatory nvidia drivers are installed, but the game asks for the 32bit ones, at least to my understanding. I do know that why can install 32bit libraries on a 64 bit linux system (we do that for the sake of crappy Adobe Flash), but I don't know where to find these libs (searching the repo with keywords like .i586 or ia32 led me nowhere).
When iwconfig is redirected thus Code: iwconfig >> wireless.txt things like Code: eth0 - Has no wireles extension are still outputted to the terminal (stdout)
I downloaded the xvid codec from: PackMan:: Informationen zum Paket xvidcore, and the install was successful.I'm trying to play an xvid file, and Kaffeine is saying it cannot play all file formats, would I like to install additional support. When I click yes, it asks me for additional repositories.
my computer doesn't get the internet, so I've tried to download what earlier threads write as the solution on another computer, but the other computer isn't linux, and it says that it doesn't recognize the file extension. Is there any way to download the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" thingy without it immediately trying to install?
I'm trying to create an iso file in a terminal with the following command: $cat /dev/sr0 > nameofdisk.iso I get the following error cat: /dev/sr0: Input/output error I already checked and my optical drive is indeed /dev/sr0. I've hunted google a few hours trying to figure it out. Does anyone know why I'd be getting this error?
I have a considerable number of files in a subdirectory (some fascinating old military clips from archive.org - search on Big Picture if interested). Anyhow, I am downloading them using Internet Download Manager running in an XP virtual machine in VMWare on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC (due to the queuing, restart and speed capabilities of IDM). But I digress - the files are being saved on the host (Samba share) without a file extension. So I have a collection of files with names like

I wish to add the extension ".mp4" In Windows this is simply done with the command
Quote:
rename *. *.mp4
This of course does not work in Linux. I have researched the Linux rename command and reviewed a lot of examples. However, I have not found a way to add an extension to a batch of files which are named with no extension to start with. The spaces in the file names also seem to present an issue. At the moment I am renaming them from the Windows VM while they are sitting on the Samba share using the ancient File Manager program from Windows NT which works great on XP. I have experimented with the file rename facility in Gnome Commander however, it does not seem to want to do something so simple.
when i try to play a video, from internet it is showing the message 'Either javascript turned off or download and install latest adobe flash player'. But eventhough I downloaded and installed adobe flash player I am unable to play any video and still it is giving the above message. what is the reason?
Recently I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian, first thing i wanted to do was to give myself sudo permissions and lock the roir account. By default sudo group don't have permissions to do this on debian, so i wanted to edit sudoers file by typing visudo. But i keep getting this error: Error opening terminal: vanilla How can i solve this.
I installed Minecraft and I want to hide the .JAR extension on the file on my desktop. I tried just renaming it and deleting the ".jar" from the name, but when I tried opening it, it opened as an archive, rather than an executable, even though I had the "Allow executing file as program." box checked off. What can I do to hide the extension?
How to make sure that when I save a pdf file, the file extension .pdf appears in the filename? Its a silly little thing, but annoying. The file browser recognises it afterward as a pdf file though, it opens with document viewer ok.
I am running 10.04 beta2 and have installed cups-pdf printing. I can print to the PDF printer and it works fine saving the file to ~/PDF. It saves it with the PDF extension as expected. I am trying to save the file by default to a windows share. I changed the DEVICE URI line to smb://HOME/SERVER/PDF. When I print, the job shows up on the windows share but without a PDF extension
When trying to play a MP3 file without extension, mplayer shows this message:
Quote:
$ mplayer file MPlayer SVN-r29237-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory
[code]....
It does not happen with all the files I've tested, but only some of them, is there an option to indicate mplayer that the file is actually in mp3 format?
At the moment, when I rename a file in Nautilus it highlights the full file name including the file extension. How can I make it only rename the first part of the file and ignore the extension (as it always did)? The odd thing is that if I rename a file on the Desktop directory, it does not highlight the extension.
I have made the simple mistake of using dolphin to rename several picture files of types jpg and png. I have no problem viewing them and Ubuntu still knows which is which (if i view their properties it will state File Type: JPEG or PNG) but unfortunately Ubuntu Tweak does not allow you to chose them without the extension (I am trying to change my login background using this) So what i need is something that can scan several files, determine the file type, and add an appropriate extension to it. I have found several to do so for music files but none for images. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 at the moment.
I need to find a Broadcom BCM4312 driver that has a .inf file extension. I cannot find one anywhere. I need to atleast once use wireless inside of ubuntu.
