Ubuntu :: Recognized By The System But Not According To Gstreamer-properties
Apr 16, 2011
Usually I try to fix things on my own, which btw always ends up failing So the other day I got an update of some packages, I installed them and restarted the pc. When I was back in ubuntu, the speaker icon on my panel was gone, and so was the audio settings for pulse too. When I went to system > pref > sound I got an error.So now I decided to ditch pulse. Pulse have always given me problems btw. I installed alsa, but couldn't get the shortcuts for up, down and mute to work. This is important to me because idk where the audio button on my laptop is (ASUS). So I tweaked around for awhile and decided to go for OSS since it's the only option that will allow me to record both out and ingoing audio, which is an option I use a lot. So I tweaked around and all that stuff, and now I'm very frustrated.
I have come to the conclusion that my audio card is unrecognized now. I think I have every single ALSA / OSS driver, plugin and codec installed. Ok here's the audio card info I got from the command lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be9 (rev a1) So the card is some how recognized by the system but not according to gstreamer-properties.
This might seem like an odd problem, but I can't find gstreamer-properties on my system. Also I can't find a package that provides it. I have tried the following gstreamer gstreamer-tools gnome-media control-center control-center-extras control-center-filesystem
None of those seem to provide the file. can someone who has gstreamer-properties do a Code: rpm -f gstreamer-properties and let me know what rpm provides that file ?
I opened gstreamer-properties from the terminal. Following some directions from another thread, I changed the output to "custom" and filled in a box with a bunch of code that I didn't know anything about. I pressed "test" and it didn't work. Out of frustration, I deleted the text I had written in the box and closed gstreamer-properties. Now it won't open back up. When I try to open it from the terminal I get:
That's it. It won't open and when I try to open it directly from its source folder, nothing happens at all. How can I open it back up so I can continue to fiddle with it and (hopefully) fix this blue-tint problem.
I'm not sure this is the cause, but after I changed the properties of gstreamer, by following a fix on VLC freezing during video playback, I cannot control my desktop anymore.Luckily I can still switch windows thanks to docky. Unfortunately I cannot change the tab in the gstreamer-properties so I can reset my change. I changed the video from default to X11.How can I edit it manually from the command line?
I'm having a problem with the authentication window, if I want to change system properties. There are two buttons cancel and authenticate, but nothing happens when I push authenticate.
I'm trying to set up my webcam on my Dell Inspiron 700m in which I have 10.04 installed. However, whenever I open any application that uses the webcam (C250 Logitech) it crashes my entire system (Some text flashes but it is too quick to read and then my screen becomes black). I tried Skype, Cheese, Camorama, and testing from GStreamer-properties, and all of them had the same result. However, using:
I was trying to convert a flac audio to mp3 using soundconverter & its failing with the error:
Quote:
GStreamer error: Gstreamer encountered a general stream error.
I should note that the flac is a rip of an actual Mono Vinyl disc. Am not exactly sure how that was done but I was interested in converting some those files to ogg & mp3. OGG conversion doesn't give any error.
Below is the result when launching soundconverter from the terminal & trying to convert the flac file(s) to mp3 (i just tried ogg to mp3 & the same error occurs):
Code: $ soundconverter SoundConverter 1.4.4 using Gstreamer version: 0.10.28, Python binding version: 0.10.18 using gio
I just installed Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 17R (in part to determine whether it's windows that's causing my system to freeze daily or whether it's a hardware snafu, and in part because I like Ubuntu), but it appears that Ubuntu is not recognizing my wireless router--it says no networking devices detected. I was thinking that it might have been a problem with the install, but is there any way to fix it manually?
I'm using Debian (Stetch at the moment). Since a couple of days i noticed that some keystrokes get not recognized by the system, which is really annoying if i type something. It also happens sometimes that a random key gets pressed. For example if i want to type "Hello world", I get "Helllllllllllllo, world", the system would print the "l" character, for example, as long as i don't press any other key. I have a similar problem with my mouse, sometimes it would just get stuck and would not recognise any movement or key presses for a couple of seconds.
How do I get a DVD-R and its contents to be recognized by the operating system? I know there is a "mount" command somewhere, and to unmount there is the "umount". I just don't know how to use these.
I see there is a driver module for network card in my system. I have 2 identical network cards in my system the 1st one works well, but the second one.. My system refuses to create interface on it.... lspci
I've got a problem on my Debian, I've tried installing all the correct alsa packages and all packages that have the word sound or audio description. The problem that is happening here is that when I go into settings and click on sound in Gnome, it appears to have a dummy output and in fact, a few weeks ago, the sound was working properly. Now, I believe, that after an update, the sound card was not recognized. Used the lspci command in root mode, and showed my sound card which is onboard. I'll leave the model below it, because I've tried everything and could not solve anything.

I have a dual booted system - windoze and f12 (64bit). I try to have all partitions mounted in fedora so have edited my fstab. This has been successful for my ntfs partitions but on boot fat32 is not a recognized filing system? Fortunately I don't need the partition but would be good to know how to label it?
I currently have windows 7 installed. There are two partitions. The OS is on one and the other one is used for data. Is there anyway this could be a problem?
The only readable error I have gotten is from suse. Said something about an unreadable file system. All of the others have just hung at some point during the live cd boot.
I have now tried live cds of the following and none have worked.
Its a stock alienware that I bought 3 years ago. The only change I have made is updating the ram, which I bought directly from dell to make sure it was compatible. The alienware is an intel core 2 duo, 4 gigs of ram, 160gb HD, dual sli nvidia graphics cards. not sure about the mother board, could figure it out if its necessary. Is there any reason the hardware wouldn't be supported?
i've got a DELL Tower UPS 1000W which i would make work with a Linux CentOS 5.4 64-bit (kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5) system using USB connection.Dell claims that this UPS is 100% working with RHEL 5.x (w/ serial and usb), but they don't provide support for CentOS (even if it's quite the same linux distribution)...When i plug in the USB cable the system reports:
usb 6-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
formatted a 64g usb memory stick with gparted use fat32 file system and recognized full 64gig drive plug in and is on /media/usb this is what i got on my fstab UUID=24AF-1E67 /media/The-Hive defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 i want all user access to this memory stick to write delete and execute. am I going nuts i cant make it to do that..
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
I have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
I can't get rid of the "Mail Notification Properties" Window at startup. Every time the system comes up, there is the window for the settings. It's just empty as I don't want any more mail notifications than Thunderbird has.
I looked into the Mail Notification Properties and haven't found any settings to get rid of the window. And I disabled "Mail Notification" in System > Preferences.
Still this window keeps coming back over and over again.
It even survived the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. How can I get rid of it?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64. And some Wine games (e.g. Morrowind) require 32 bit gstreamer plugins to enable sound. How can I install 32 gstreamer plugins on my 64 bit Ubuntu?
On Fedora this is easy, you just need to explicitly provide the architecture:
When I try to convert an mp3 to an ogg file with gstreamer like this:
Code: gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=infile.mp3 ! decodebin2 location=infile.mp3 ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=outfile.ogg everything works file, but when I add a bitrate option to vorbisenc, like this
I had both the taskbar panel (that starts default at bottom) and main panel (that default starts on top) both moved to the bottom because I'm used to Windows. I changed one panel to autohide, the topmost I believe, and now the two panels seem to have merged, with me being unable to right click either panel and access the panels to remedy the situation. The panels flicker erratically when I have my mouse on top of the panel and the only thing I can access is trash, power, and mail, with no other options.I read in other posts that I should try to access the terminal, but I never set up a keyboard shortcut to the terminal and am unsure if I can access it any other way. I saw the virtual terminal, but was unable to open anything through it.I took a screenshot to show what I have:Please note that right clicking the panel does absolutely nothing, so I am pretty desperate at this point. I had to access the internet through my other computer to post this.
How can hide it ?Or unless to request a password?I want to do this because Sometimes My cousins use my PC and I don't really want to set an account for each one so I let them use the mine.Problem is I have important files that i don't want to hide but to make them unerasable (I doubt that word exist though)I mean to not let them erase them but some are pretty clever and they Know of the properties option so they can change the attributes.
