I set up up Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my desktop. Why can I not install multimedia support for common formats following the guide here?
I've added the medibuntu repo. I'm up to the part where it says "UBUNTU FAMILY 8.10 AND HIGHER USERS ONLY" and i'm following directions for "32-Bit Ubuntu Users". This is what I get when I paste the command in terminal:
[Code]...
It says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove", why am I being told this? If this guide is not for Lucid than what guide is?
I'm running a Debian Wheezy system. There are a lot of characters I want to use from the U+1F*** set of characters. But when I use them or look them up in the character map, all I see is the square with the code inside. Is there some font package I can install from the repository that has better support for these characters?
E.g., when I am instant messaging my girlfriend, I like to use the HEAVY BLACK HEART character (❤, U+2764). But there are a whole bunch of other "romantic" characters that are listed but not actually displaying for me, like the KISS MARK (U+1F48B), which I would like to use. These characters apparently show up on her system, which is an android phone.
I am impressed with 11.4 and am happy that for the first time ever I don't need to install a kernel patch to support my on-board nVidia graphics. However, the on-board sound no longer works now. I don't know how to set it up in phonon. My device number 0 in phonon is MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S high definition audio, and I assume this is my nVidia on-board sound card. The driver information states snd-hda-intel.
How can I check what is wrong with it? It did work fine on 11.2 right up to the 11.4 installation. I do get system sounds (like the start-up and shut-down sounds), but nothing from any application, e.g., firefox playing a video. Based on the advice from another thread I tried: speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav This does not produce any sound, but gives the following information: speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576 Period size range from 32 to 349526 Using max buffer size 1048576
across this problem when the changes I was making (such as adding lyrics, cover art, etc) weren't being saved to either my computer or my iPod. I figured out that the problem was the there was no PC file location. When I tried to add my Music folder (all files are .ogg), it gave me an error saying that all the files were incompatible. Any information on how to fix this would be amazing.Note: I can still sync through Banshee, so it's not a immediate problem. However, I can't add lyrics since Banshee doesn't support that, so I would like to get this fixed.
I'm trying to get configured: (domain.com to be used for the purpose of explaining setup)
Root/naked domain (domain.com/www.domain.com) to be setup and configured with Apache/PHP/MySQL. Then radio.domain.com being controlled by IceCast with multiple streams (some live, some MP3 based).
The primary domain is already setup and configured under Apache, and IceCast is already installed, but here is where the problems start showing up.
It's my understanding that Ices2 cannot serve MP3's but only OGG files through IceCast. So just for the sake of testing and wanting to get a sample stream working, I placed a public domain OGG file into /etc/icecast2/music/ and called it "book.ogg."
Then the following are my configuration files: /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
Is there support for the A4tech PK-7MAR? I used cheese and it always display a blank screen. The device is actually listed as /dev/video0. I also tried camorama, guvcview, wxcam and none worked. I also have a Creative PD1001 although I don't know how to install the drivers and where the original source is just the patch: epcam.
I've been trying to view the footage I have in 1080i AVCHD on my new system but can only view it in VLC, and then only when hardware acceleration is turned off, and there's still a bit of shearing with a hexcore and a Radeon 5850.
Is there a trick to get it to play and/or preview in Mplayer/OpenShot/PiTiVi ? I've tried them all, and I can hear sound but no video. Maybe there's a system-wide way to shut off video decode acceleration.
I guess what I'm asking is, can anyone play/preview/edit in these applications with AVCHD or is it something with my new system? Everything else seems to work great. Maybe I need to try turning off compiz compositing?
Unfortunately, I bought the damn thing to do exactly this kind of video editing, and don't want to have to drop back into Win 7 to use Vegas.
Just got off the phone with Netflix support. Apparently they really want everyone to CALL to request Linux support. You don't have to be a current subscriber (though in fairness you should probably at least be open to subscribing). Archaic if you ask me, but I guess that's how they gauge interest.So, if you're interested, give Netflix a ring and say that you want Netflix on Linux. It might help to mention that Amazon's recently released "Prime" video service DOES support Linux already. They have some competition now!
I am using mplayer with Umplayer/Smplayer as graphic front ends. I have enabled DVD menus by checking the box in Preference > Drives in Umplayer(also tried Smplayer) but there is still no menu when I stick a DVD in the dvd drive, on the other hand the menus show up if I use VLC to play the DVD so it is not the dvd's problem.
I installed Open Suse 11.3, but no support mp3, mp4, dvd. The question is about openSUSE 11.X Addon NonOss. If I install this addon it has this support?
I have tried many ways to enable vdpau support in my machine but for no avail. A member here helped me very much but I couldn't manage to succeed. My system has Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Nvidia 8500GT 512mb, Intel Core 2 duo. I have installed Nvidia driver version 195 currently available from their site. I tried compiling mplayer with vdpau support from various tutorials thread here around in Ubuntu forums.
Is there anyone in this forum with Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit with the same other system requirements as mine who have successfully managed to make the VDPAU work?
I want to try encoding some videos with Dirac. I was told on another site that I have to build mencoder with Schroedinger support if I want to do this with OGMRip. I have installed the libschroedinger package installed. How do I buld it with mencoder?
I have a question about audio recording. I've always wanted to set up a sort of personal studio. Not anything too professional, but I want to be able to make quality recordings without too many problems. All I'll probably end up using is a midi keyboard electric guitar and bass. But what I was wondering was, is it a better idea to get a Mac for something like that, or will Ubuntu support that just fine? I know there's great software available, and I've got used to using Jack. But I've read problems about real-time kernel support and xruns with Jack and Ardour, and I'm just wondering if that's something that will make using Ubuntu for this complicated.
In skype 2.1 beta for ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop amd64, the webcam is not getting configured at all. The test button in <options> for video shows no results or response. The same problem was faced in Karmic Koala also and now in Lucid Lynx. Kindly provide some concrete solutions to this very problem of configuring webcam in skype for ubuntu.
Been using Windows 7 for a good while but would love to make a switch over to Ubuntu i installed via WUBI the 64bit of 10.4. The headset is detected and the mic is detected and both work fine but the Dolby 7.1 "effect" does not work at all. Now in Windows a app has to be running for the Dolby part to work. Any thought on how to get that to also work in Ubuntu?
Adobe Air 2.0 has finally been released, has anyone tried it? It's supposed to support 64 bit systems now, but I still can't get it to work! When I download the .deb from Adobe's site I get a wrong architecture error message when I try to open it, and there doesn't seem to be a 64 bit version that I can find. When I go to BBC IPlayer it goes through all the instalation steps and I got Adobe Air and BBC Iplayer listed under Accesories in my list of programs. However when I tried to open BBC IPlayer it worked normally for about 10-15 seconds and then vanished for no apparent reason. I rebooted and now Air and IPlayer do not appear on the list of programs, although if I try and dowload a programme from the IPlayer website I get the IPlayer desktop up and working for about 10-15 seconds until it inexplicably vanishes again.
I've been using gtk record my desktop, which does a very good job and records nicely as a .ogv. The problem is, the Openshot editor doesn't appear to support .ogv files, which means I have to find some way of converting the .ovg to something Openshot can use. Having used both Pitivi and Arista to re-encode the file, I find the picture quality suffers some substantial loss by becoming noisy.
So, can anyone suggest: 1. A way to get Openshot to recognise .ogv files natively? or, 2. Suggest another screencast program that records to a high quality file that Openshot understands? or, 3. Suggest a video editing program that can open and work with .ogv files, allowing the addition of music and titles (text), and then save to a high quality file like mp4?
I just reinstalled yesterday Ubuntu on my second PC, I didn't use 2nd PC for a while so I decided it is time to refresh Ubuntu on it. I installed sopcast to watch some football games.

I don't know how to fix this problem it never happend before.

I am looking to get a sound card to put in my HTPC that is running Ubuntu 10.04. I bought Auzentech x-plosion sound card that has spdif support but it does not work. Does anyone know of any card that will work or am I out of luck??
I use the script h264enc (installed from the repos) to encode my dvds into avi and mp4. It was working flawlessly under 9.10, now I get the error that MEncoder doesn't support AAC encoding? I have installed all the restricted drivers and I can play dvds, mp4's, .
I have a problem with mediatomb. I installed it from official ubuntu repo and when someone is trying to get some audio files via UPnP there are visible only namefiles istead of title from tags. It strange because MediaTomb provides album covers from tags, but no album, genre or title. How do I configure that ? MediaTomb from repo has taglib support but no id3lib.
I have been successfully using Elluminate Live online meeting space (Java-based) on previous releases of Ubuntu.By upgrading to Maverick 10.10., all audio features of that application became dysfunctional. Obviously, the Java application that is used to connect to Elluminate Live doesn't recognize audio devices (audio setup wizard of the same application doesn't list any devices).Contacting Elluminate's support didn't help because accoring to them Ubuntu 10.10 is not a supported distro for Elluminate.
I posted a request on Kodak's FaceBook(FB) page asking about their support for Linux drivers URL... Search for Mark Schuster to see my request and click the LIKE button to voice your request for Linux support. Let's let them know we want Linux drivers for their printers.
I want to encode video content with mencoder and libvpx codec. I have libvpx installed on my machine and I can encode with libvpx using ffmpeg. My OS is Ubuntu 10.10, 64bit. I downloaded fresh mplayer/mencoder from SVN repository. If I configure mplayer/mencoder without any explicit enabled features using:
Just bought this monitor and it doesnt have widescreen support like my old Dell one but the crystal display in it is leaking across the screen. Maybe its just too new or something. I have little experience in configuring Xorg.conf although I'm pretty adept in other areas of Linux. Running ubuntu 11.04 gnome not unity or gnome-shell. The resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9), 60 Hz. with the default recommended nvidia driver. Maybe ran into the same situation or knows how to configure X.
