View 9 RepliesI've been using Ubuntu 9.10 fairly regularly on my home computer for a week or two now, dual-booting it with Windows 7. So far I've been quite happy with it, but yesterday something odd happened. I decided to copy all the music I had stored on the Windows partition over to the Ubuntu file system so that I could listen to it there. I have about 16 gigs of music mostly in .mp3 format, so I put the folder on an external hard drive, then logged into Ubuntu and copied it back from the external drive to my Music file.
Once the transfer was done, I opened the Music file and double-clicked on one of the .mp3s at random to play it. When I did this, a window popped up and the first half-second or so of the track played, and then the window closed and it stopped. This happened once or twice more with different .mp3s. The window didn't last long enough for me to get a good idea of what program it was for, but I assume it was Totem, which I hadn't yet run since installing Ubuntu, because according to the Properties->Open With tab of any .mp3 file, that's the default program to use to open .mp3s.
Attempting to run Totem from the Applications menu gives the same result, I later found. Attempting to run Totem from a terminal gave the following error:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ totem
** (totem:2323): WARNING **: Could not import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Segmentation fault
Then, several other programs began having similar issues immediately after I first tried to play a .mp3 yesterday. Specifically, Rhythmbox - which I also hadn't used before, and next tried to use to play the music - will not start at all. Running it from the terminal gives:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ rhythmbox
** (rhythmbox:2338): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
** (rhythmbox:2338): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
(rhythmbox:2338): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Segmentation fault
Note that pygtk is again referenced. The weirdest part is that other program that's having this issue, an IM client called emesene, is one that I had been using just fine, without issue, for several sessions previous. Since trying to play that .mp3, it now won't run at all. I tried removing and re-installing emesene, to no avail. Running it from the Terminal gives:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ emesene
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/emesene/Controller.py", line 21, in <module>
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
This time the missing module is gtk, but I know that emesene is written in Python, which the earlier "pygtk" is perhaps a reference to. Thus, the connecting thread between all these programs, as near as I can tell, is Python.
I want to be able to do
sudo ./program.py
instead of always having to do
sudo python program.py
What do I need to change?
I installed my new debain.(6.0) but its all code. (i looked it up, i need a a win X or GNOME). but since i dont know code based interfaces, how do i install it on the computer. (once Ive got my visual interface im generally fine till i hit advanced)
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 and also two dual boot desktop machines, both running Windows XP and Ubuntu. I have upgraded one of the desktops to Ubuntu 10.04 and since doing so Thunderbird will not run on the laptop or the desktop. On clicking the launcher there are signs of activity for a few seconds and then they stop and Thunderbird fails to open. Also there is no longer any sound on the desktop that I have upgraded. I am reluctant now to upgrade the remaining desktop in case I have the same problems
how to get Thunderbird running again, please. I have already spent a week unsuccessfully trying to get the sound working and have abandoned it, but I would like Thunderbird to start running again.
I was assigned to do all the RHEL5 updates. All installed fine including the new kernel except for the updated libX11 and python packages. Does anyone have any suggestions relating to a fix for this?

I seem to have this problem every other time I install a new Fedora. I tried a few things with old libtermcap files from other machines, and I tried looking around the YUM repository, but nothing seemed to work.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a python script to start when the pc is booted. I'm running ubuntu server without a GUI... just CLI.
I have a python script called /home/username/bin/dropbox.py that runs perfectly if I do:
Code:
sudo python /home/username/bin/dropbox.py start
All I want to do is invoke the command I wrote up there when the pc boots up without any user logging in.
I added the above command just like that in rc.local but that didn't work. I tried creating a bash file, where in the bash file I did:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/bin/
./dropbox.py start
and then added the bash file to rc.local, but that didn't work (I made sure the bash file was executable).
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes anyway.
System:
ASUS Pro50n Laptop
Distro: Arch Linux
WM/DE: Gnome
I've recently installed Arch linux with the gnome desktop environment, and everything is working fine apart from HAL and DBUS. I'm not sure why this problem is happening and I have no idea about any settings for HAL and DBUS all I know is what it says in the wiki.
The problem I have is that HAL and DBUS fail to start. I have tried /etc/rc.d/hal start and get the message BUSY.. then FAIL. I have tried /etc/rc.d/dbus start and get exactly the same. I have tried restart and that also fails. *EDIT* I have just tried /etc/rc.d/dbus start again without changing a thing and dbus has started successfully but HAL still fails.
The further problem, which I think is related to HAL not starting... possibly... Is that I can't watch DVD's / anything in the DVD drive. I can see it in Places >Computer as "CD/DVD Drive: 3_MEN_IN_ANOTHER_BOAT" but when I click to load it or if I open Totem and try and load it all I get is the error: Unable to mount location: Not Authorized. Is this related to HAL or is this a completely different issue?
*EDIT* fixed the HAL problem, reinstalled xf86-input-evdev package and it seemed to fix the problem. However I am still having a problem with watching DVD's

I use Terminator as my terminal and in the last couple of months, I need to either run
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/bin/terminator
or
symbolic link /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 to the above file
In order to have the application run without the error message: You need to install the python bindings for gobject, gtk and pango to run Terminator.
I have been using the symlink method for the most part, but when I run an apt upgrade, often the /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 symblink changes to point to /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6.5.0 and I have to manually re-link.
I have tried reinstalling gobject, gtk and pango packages for python but nothing has worked.
Over the past few days, I've noticed that administrative tasks sometimes fail to start. I'm asked to enter the administrative password, "Granting rights" appears in the bottom panel for a few seconds, but then disappears. I'm using Debian Lenny. This is only an intermittent problem, and if a task does fail to start, it will start on the next attempt. Tasks which have failed to start are:
*Launching Synaptic form the System menu.
*Launching a root terminal from the Applications menu.
*Launching Nautilus with root privileges from a terminal using gksu.
After coming across the following post, I thought maybe it was an issue with kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-686, because I'd recently upgraded to that kernel too, but I'm advised that that isn't so.It was suggested that something else from backports might be causing the problem.

I have installed freeradius from repositories in both Debian and Ubuntu. I have built from source with 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' on both the official freeradius source code and the source provided by apt-src in both Debian and Ubuntu. On a normal install via aptitude there is no ssl-support, I understand this is because of license issues. Otherwise is works, but is of course useless in a wifi-auth setup. On a install from source code, after editing debian/rules and debian/control as recommended different places on the net, freeradius fail to start because of ssl error. Same on install via source code downloaded directly from [URL]... Anyone have a working ssl-enabled freeradius server running Debian or the likes?

I am having a RAID5 with a spare(total 4 disk).then the steps which lead me to a problem:
1. i was doing I/O on the array.
2. i pulled out a drive manually. So the spare drive took care of the failed one and started rebuilding. then
3. in the, mean time i pulled out the power plug of my NAS box.
4. After power up i saw my array was not active(by -D command option of mdadm). then
5. i executed: mdadm --assemble --scan /dev/md0 it gave me
I checked into the linux source and found that bd_claim is a function inside fs/block_dev.c and it failing due to which lock_rdev function (calling bd_claim in md.c) is failing and we are not able to start the array.I don't know why my RAID is not live after power on.
Plese help atleast can i save my data?
