Ubuntu :: Some Apps (vlc, Tweetdeck, Iplayer) Dont Allow Transparency In The System Menu?

Jun 6, 2010

In ubuntu I noticed that some apps (vlc, tweetdeck, iplayer) dont allow transparency in the system menu. This isn't a massive issue, although I'd like to know if it is possible to enable transparency, and keep the uniform look.I've tried changing the icons within the application, however it often refuses to open afterwards

Debian Multimedia :: MPlayer No Longer Listed In Apps Menu After System Update

Aug 3, 2010

MPlayer was working just fine last night, but today I'm having problems which may be due to me performing a system update. I noticed that MPlayer was no longer listed in my Applications menu and I no longer had the option of opening videos with it. However, I now had Gnome MPlayer which must have been installed with the update because I never installed it. Whilst going through Synaptic, I found that the MPlayer GUI had been removed, so I re-installed it. However nothing happened when I attempted to open videos with it.

When I tried to use it through the terminal I got the error message:
mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference

I found a bug report on this very problem here [URL]. The conclusion was that the person filing the bug report was using a version of ffmpeg not found in Debian and that he'd need a version of MPlayer built with his version of ffmpeg libs. I'm assuming that this is also the case with me, however I'm not sure how to go about finding a build or simply building a version of MPlayer with whatever version of ffmpeg that I'm using. For reference, I'm using Squeeze.

Ubuntu :: Menu Transparency Just Not Happening?

Nov 6, 2010

All wonder if someone can point me in the right direction, I have configured my system (ubuntu 10.10) to use Emerald themes and to use Compiz as my window manager. All of my compiz settings are working bar one which is Transparent menus, i.e. click on the Gnome / applications menu and it should be transparent.I have enabled opacity and set "Tooltip | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Normal |" and set opacity to 80, but regardless how much I shift the opacity setting it still isn't giving ma a transparent menu? I have attached a screenie showing the compiz opacity settings screen.

Debian Multimedia :: No Sound From BBC Iplayer / Saying "Sorry, Phone Does Not Support BBC IPlayer"?

Sep 3, 2011

I'm sure this used to work, but I don't think I've changed anything. When I try to "listen live" to BBC radio, I just get silence. I get a moving flash thingy, gently rotating, but no sound.

I'm using Squeeze with Iceweasel 3.5.16. It's got adobe flash, plus flashblock and noscript but I've said to temporarily allow all on the page and clicked the flash thingy. I get sound from ..... fine, and I can play all sorts of sound files usually. There's another radio station I can stream ok but it appears to be using a totem plugin rather than flash.

At first I thought iplayer was blocking me cos I'm outside the UK, but then I tried it on another machine with Win7 and IE, and that worked. My user agent says Firefox so it shouldn't be complaining about Iceweasel I guess. I also tried Epiphany but it just says "Sorry, your phone does not support BBC iPlayer."

Software :: Desktop Widget System With Overlay / Transparency?

Jul 11, 2011

I finally dropped Gnome and am trying to put together my own custom Xclient-style desktop, with Xmonad as my WM. My question: Do any of the desktop widget systems out there support fixed, transparent overlay of the screen? My idea was something like this: I want, for example, my desktop clock widget not to be stuck in some dock taking up screen space; but instead, it would overlay the screen in one corner, with its background transparent. That way I could always see it, but it wouldn't gobble up screen space in a separate menu bar.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Change Menu Icon Next To Apps Tab In Certain Themes

May 10, 2010

I have become very restless and irritated while trying to change the icon next to the applications tab on my top panel (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop). I've tried multiple methods and have had no luck. I've used the Ubuntu Tweak option for changing the icon. It didn't work. I've attempted taking my custom one and changing it in the directory itself but I can't figure out how to change the permissions to allow me to do this.

I've used the terminal to replace the icons but once again I was not given permission. I've spent hours trying and trying to get this to work and I'm stumped. Now to note the problem of this only being for a certain theme. I changed the theme from my custom theme (the one I want to change that icon for) to the Ambiance theme. I opened up Ubuntu Tweak and tried using the simple icon changer button...it worked. I had just d/led updates for it so I switched back to my custom theme to try it and nothing.

Extra:
The custom theme I'm using is this
Controls: snow-leopard-mac (i don't remember where i d/led this)
Colors: N/A
Window Border: Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0
Icons: Mac4Lin_Icons_v1.0
Pointer: Default

Fedora :: Right-click On KDE Workspace For Apps Menu?

Mar 25, 2011

I've been mostly using XFCE for a long time, but I'm finally giving KDE4 a serious try. Overall I like it pretty well, but there's one thing I like in XFCE that I can't replicate in K: I want to be able to right-click on the desktop to bring up the full apps menu. On XFCE the default behaviour is that right-clicking anywhere on the desktop background (anywhere not on a window, basically) will bring up the full "Start" menu with all the app categories, preferences/settings, etc. (I put "Start" menu above in quotes because I know that's really Windows-specific terminology. So no need to give me crap about that, kids.) Right now, when I right-click on the desktop in K I get a small menu with Konsole, Run, Activities, and Desktop Settings. What I want to happen is a full launcher menu like I have on the panel.

OpenSUSE :: Menu Font Colour On GTK Apps In KDE

Jul 24, 2010

Opensuse 11.3 with kde 4.4.xx

Having a problem with the menu font colour in GTK apps (firefox & thunderbird).

All menus in all other apps have the correct font colour (black) but as you can see in this screenshot the font colour is white for thunderbird.

The only way I can find to change the text to black is to change in Configure Desktop > Appearance > Colours The setting for "selected text" to black.

Now I could be wrong - but I am pretty sure this should not be the setting that effects the menu colour in GTK apps.

Here are the colour settings I presently have

how to correct this? Did not have this issue in 11.2

Using QTCurve window style Have also set GTK Style and Fonts to use QTcurve and KDE font settings.

I do remember QTCurve in Opensuse had a button to apply its settings to KDE3 & GTK apps but this is not present in the QTCurve version on 11.3

Ubuntu :: How To TweetDeck On 10.04 64-bit

Jul 5, 2010

Installing TweetDeck is not that complicated, but if you have a 64-bit install of Lucid Lynx, you'll face a little hurdle in the form of Adobe Air.You see, Adobe Air only has a 32-bit version and you can't just install the .deb file found on the website and wait for everything to work fine.All the information to install Adobe Air and TweetDeck on a 64-bit machine is freely available on the net. I didn't find all the information in one place so that's the reason for this howto. It's my first howto, so I'm looking forward to your feedback so I can make it as perfect as possible.

Most of this information is taken from OMG! Ubuntu's guide on installing Adobe Air for Ubuntu 64-bit. In fact, there are just two steps that are different.Installing TweetDeckGo to TweetDeck's desktop download page here and click on the Install TweetDeck button. Now just follow the on screen prompts and you should be done.When the TweetDeck download asks you to save or open the file, you could choose to save the file especially if you have a slow internet connection. That way if something isn't working right, you can save yourself some time by just double-clicking the .air file to install TweetDeck next time.

Ubuntu :: Adobe Air And Tweetdeck Suddenly Fails?

Apr 8, 2010

So I was happily using tweetdeck on Adobe Air in my Ubuntu 9.10 x64 installation when it suddenly stopped. It now reports a series of errors. First I get a pop up that says. "You are trying to connect to an unverified server s3.amazonaws.com (on port 443). Do you trust this server, and want to go ahead with the connection? - view certificate - This Session - Never"

Selecting any option makes no difference and takes me to the second error. "Ooops, TweetDeck can't find your data. TweetDeck is having trouble using some of your passwords that are stored securely on your machine. Clicking Submit will clear this data so that you continue to use TweetDeck. Please note that you will have to add your accounts to TweetDeeck again. - OK"

I then click OK many times. Eventually I get the third error; "Sorry, Adobe AIR is having a problem running on this computer. It looks like your computer is one of a very small number of computers that don't play well with Adobe AIR. We're actively working with Adobe on this, and it would really help us if you would let us know that you're having trouble by opening a ticket at http://support.tweetdeck.com/tickets/new - OK"

I then click OK many times and get a blank Tweetdeck. Nothing works. I can not setup an account or even load the settings pane. I can "close" it, but the icon in the top bar stays and I cannot remove it till I reboot. I've uninstalled tweetdeck. Then Adobe AIR. Then re-installed both and I get the same error.

Fedora :: TweetDeck No Longer Opening In F14

Mar 3, 2011

I can no longer open TweetDeck either from the desktop shortcut or menu.I tried reinstalling it to see if that would fix it & after install the program ran fine but after shutting it down & trying to restart it from the shortcut icon/menu it says starting but does not complete & would not restart again.The only change to my computer was earlier I had installed Samba to access Vista network shares. Would this be causing a problem opening TweetDeck?Anyone any idea how I might get TweetDeck to work properly?I will keep trying to fix this (tricky when I do not know what the cause is!-I have googled but no reference found yet) but I am most grateful for help(meantime I am using Gwibber to tweet- but I much prefer TweetDeck & would really like it working properly in my dualboot Fedora14).

Ubuntu Installation :: Tweetdeck Not Working Anymore After Closing / Reboot - Fix It?

May 23, 2010

I was able to successfully install Tweetdeck and Adobe Air using the instructions here: http://www.technixupdate.com/install...-ubuntu-linux/

BUT after I closed the program, when I tried to re-open it, it wouldn't load anymore. It would show that it is "Starting Tweetdeck" but it would not lead to anything - it would just close.

So I tried to uninstall everything and re-install from scratch. But the same thing happened - the program would not load.

I tried to isolate the issue by trying to install another AIR application. When I double-click on the icon or click on install using Adobe AIR, it would not run. So that only means that the issue is with Adobe AIR.

Here's what I did code...

It will then load the installer. Go through the step-by-step process until it's finished.

Install Tweetdeck again (Just double-click on its .air file).

OpenSUSE Network :: 11.3 Branded Firefox Cannot Download Tweetdeck

Dec 18, 2010

This gets better and better. First I find out the branded version of Firefox can't do a right click "save page as" (although it can with CTRL-S), now I discover it can't download TweetDeck from that program's Web site. Click on the button to download TweetDeck, it says "Installing TweetDeck" but nothing happens.

I'm going to dropkick the branded Firefox to the curb and install the regular Mozilla version. It's more up to date anyway. I ran the Mozilla version for some time on 11.0 until I installed 11.3 the other day, so I'll live without "integration" that doesn't work worth a ****.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Security Update Will Break Adobe AIR / Tweetdeck

Apr 4, 2011

The libxml2 update specified by CVE-2010-4494 causes a notification that it will break Adobe AIR and TweetDeck on my machine.How can I blacklist this update so it won't keep showing up in the Updater applet?The applet says I should go into Yast and manually apply the update. When I do that and tell it not to apply the update, Yast exits and the Updater applet just tells me the update is still pending. I want to get rid of the update at least temporarily until Adobe fixes the dependency (assuming they ever do).

This is a major problem for me as I clearly don't intend to uninstall TweetDeck and AIR just for some security patch. Why didn't openSUSE test this patch for AIR compatibility?
