I just installed Gnome Do on Ubuntu 10.04 os. I have a problem that when try to name an mp3, I just get a run action suggestion. When I press tab for more choices, I get 11 of them, like copy, move, run etc, but no option to play! I have the Rythmbow plugin installed , but it still doesn't help... What do I do to be able to play mp3s with Gnome Do?!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI like to autohide my panel. But for some reason, it won't show unless I mouse over one of the bottom corners of the screen. The whole bottom edge where the panel hides should summon it if I mouse over, and I have been able to do this before, but now, after a system update, it only appears when I mouse over those bottom two corners. Does anyone else get this, or know how to fix it?

I thought the two end tty and pty were acting like a pipe so while testing, I opened two terminals:
terminal1: cat /dev/ptyq9
terminal2: echo "test" > /dev/ttyq9
And it worked, terminal 1 printed: "test". But if the pipe is bi-directionnal ( as terminal were echoed back what user was typing), I was expecting to be able to go the other way around:
terminal1: cat /dev/ttyq9
terminal2: echo "test" > /dev/ptyq9
It does not work ! Echoing on pty just terminates the cat on pty. How is the "return" working them ?
I know that this has probably been around these forms, but still. I recently stumbled upon one .mkv file and I wasn't able to play it in Ubuntu. I'm still not able. Looking at the forums around I see that many folks are able to play .mkv files with ease just running VLC player. So I'm quite confused that I'm not able to. So far I haven't had any problems with neither audio, nor video files in Ubuntu. Anyway, here's what I use: VLC version 1.0.2
(I saw that some folks have been compiling VLC, incluiding specifically the .mkv support, but that was two years ago. Now VLC should support it out of the box...)
And I should have .mkv support in the version of VLC that I have:
$ vlc --list | grep Matroska
VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye
mkv Matroska-Stream-Demuxer
When I try to open the .mkv vile in VLC nothing happens. No errors, nothing. And off course neither video, nor audio.

They startup fine, but the bar ( upper bar ) woun't hide when it starts. In windows you don't see the bar when you play a game. This is very annoying. I am, a complete noob in Ubuntu. Is there a simple soulution to this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have still not succeeded in getting my Region 2 DVDs to play in Ubuntu 10.04. I used something called Regionset to reset the player from zero to 2 for playback in the UK but although it is now set to Region 2 it will only play Region 0 DVDs. I have tried all sorts of tricks with codecs and installing VLC and (of course) Ubuntu Restricted Extras but no joy.

View 6 Replies View RelatedOlder machine here that I upgraded to 10.04 after a clean install of 9.10 some months ago. When booting into GNOME, the desktop image flashes on the screen and the second the bars on top and bottom try to appear the system boots out of the desktop and returns to the log on screen. I assume this is a crash of Xserver, but just guessing. Per another page I ran: lspci | grep VGAand returned:

So I don't use gnome, KDE, or XFCE, but I'm running Xubuntu. I'm constantly playing music via nvlc. While that music's still playing, I'd like to be able to hear a sound I run from the command line via
Code:
cvlc beep.mp3
I've tried on and off over the years messing with pulse, esd, etc. output options for vlc, but never figured out exactly how to do this. In Windows, having a batchfile play a .wav at the same time as an mp3 player is playing music "just works" I know there must be a "just works" solution for Linux.
I bought an LG external cd/dvd unit (model: GP08 ).
The problem is that I have no sound when playing DVDs. Everything else works fine. I installed libdvdcss (followed this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ts/PlayingDVDs) but still no sound on DVDs (the DVD works fine on a windows machine).
I have an Acer Aspire One with Karmic Koala.
I just had my laptop in the shop for a month or so now (through Staples warrenty) I sent it in because my LCD monitor wasn't lighting up after a bit of use.
Got it back and they said my issue could not be replicated, so they just cleaned it and such and gave it back. Well so far it's been going pretty good, monitor stays on except when i turn on Heroes of Newerth.
What kind of problem is this and is it easily fixable?
My newly installed (but not new) DVD drive seems to play some movies some days, but others all the time. I'm pretty sure it's just a little picky about scratches. I can hear it in the drive; when I insert the disk, I can tell when it isn't spinning. When it does start spinning, that's when the Media options window pops up asking me what I want to do with the disk.

Will provide additional information if needed. Issue: Despite all the legwork I've been doing, I cannot play .mkv and .mp4 files. So far I've tried using VLC player, installing the w32codecs using medibuntu, installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and did some gstreamer stuff. Nothing has worked so far. The best I've gotten is a blank screen with the audio. On a not so serious note, I have also been having trouble getting my webcam to work. I installed cheese, but it too only gives me a blank screen. In spite of having a blank screen, the pictures I take with it show up in the file. It's a rather vexing matter, but not as serious as the above one.
I am new to this forum and ubuntu linux. I am having one .avi captured file in winxp using webcam. It is not playing in winxp 32bit. I googled and found more then 2GB file will not play in 32bit OS, so I installed 64bit Ubuntu desktop and trying to play with VLC but still it is not playing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNo doubt Psychess is a very nice game for playing chess. I was playing this game often. But one thing I observed today is Psychess starts to eat 100% CPU right after the moment we start the game. I came to know about this after observing the "System Monitor" applet graph on the panel. This must not be normal because it's common sense when developer develops a software they always consider the CPU usage.. Even when I develop scripts I always give a sleep after heavy resource usage. For the record, I installed DreamChess and it works fine.

Using Kubuntu 11.04, I have all of my movies and music on a NAS, everytime I wish to play something (I have a computer hooked up to my tv this is how I play all media) KDE decides it needs to copy it to a tmp file first, I was unable to find a setting to turn this off and allow the file to simply play straight from the network drive as it did in M$ Windblows probably a dumb question.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get my sisters Ubuntu to play some movies off DVD. I google searched for how to play dvds on ubuntu, and a site says basically "just install Totem" and the dvdlib3 (it already has dvdlib4 installed) so I went ahead and installed totem.I launched totem, but there is no option for opening a DVD, there's only Open File. which would mean I'd have to open the vob files, which are very confusing to navigate.
I tried VLC and VLC couldn't run it, so I tried VLC(Windows32 under Wine) and although it worked in the past, it couldn't read the movie either(the movie is Casino Royale and I watched it just fine on my Windows machineis there an easy method to just install some proprietary software that can play movies with a single click? like with the package manager perhaps? I couldn't figure anything out. It seems like Ubuntu should come pre-ready for DVDs and I don't understand why it isn't.
