13455 | 1 | 13618 | 2010-11-16T04:11:11.457 | 5 | 1642 | <p>Good evening all, </p>
<p>I have decided to rip my entire DVD collection to Ogg-Theora video, specifically a few different TV series' that I have so I don't have to keep digging the discs out. To do this, I have been using dvd::rip to pull the individual vob files from the disc and then using ffmpeg2theora to encode. This process has been working great for me until I hit a slight snag. The dvd I just ripped does not have the individual episodes in vobs, but the entire disc of 7 episodes in one vob. I went ahead and ripped it and encoded the whole thing into Theora. Now, how do I split this file into the individual episodes? </p>
<p>I would prefer not to re-encode these, and obviously any prospective program would need a easy way for me to set the 'cut' points. I have used a few similar programs in Windows (for other formats), but I am unsure of what is out there for Ubuntu. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!</p>

But we had to move cubicles last weekend and since setting the computer back up they aren't available for me to select in the Sound Preferences Input or Output tabs. They still appear in the Hardware tab with the profile of Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input. When I first connected it, all I had to do to make it work was select it in the Output tab, so I've not done any configuration or driver loading or such.</p>
<p>Since it is a USB connection I've unplugged it and plugged it back in, but that didn't seem to change anything.</p>

13506 | 1 | 14766 | 2010-11-16T14:48:18.097 | 5 | 1458 | <p>I've had a turbulent relationship with my media centre box. Every upgrade I perform on it seems to bring a brand new set of audio issues (the opposite of my desktop where things seem to get better and better).</p>
<p>It's a Acer Revo 3600. That's basically an low-end Intel Atom chip with a Nvidia 9400M onboard. On paper that's perfect for something like a media centre. But having just upgraded to Maverick, the sound properties box only wants to offer me stereo sound over HDMI.</p>
<p>The exact setup goes: Revo -> Onkyo AV receiver -> LG TV. The Onkyo box strips off the audio (supporting 7.1 -- though we're only using 6 speakers) and feeds the video onto the TV.</p>
<p>I'd like to get to a point where Ubuntu thinks it's doing 5.1 over HDMI, upmixing stereo to 6ch and supporting DTS/AC3 (through Boxee).</p>
<p>I've had this working before but it's frankly been a bit of a hacktastrophe.</p>
<p>The audio chip is recognised as <code>Nvidia MCP79/7A HDMI</code> in <code>alsamixer</code> if that helps.</p>

13545 | 1 | 13546 | 2010-11-16T21:46:42.850 | 6 | 11502 | <p>I have one of those fancy keyboards with the extra media keys. For years, I more or less ignored them. Then my work got my a MacBook, and behold, I got spoiled. Now I want them to work when I'm using my desktop, too. (ubuntu 10.04 using XFCE)</p>
<p>So, how do I do that? I'm most interested in the play/pause button and the volume control buttons. I know how to set them to an application, but I don't know what the command for 'turn volume up' or 'pause banshee'.</p>
<p>~~ edit ~~</p>
<p>Note: I do <em>not</em> use xubuntu. I tried installing it, but found that adding xfce to ubuntu worked better me than xububtu did. (This happened back in the spring, and I don't remember specifically what my issues were)</p>

<p>im also exhibiting the same problem, but there doesnt appear to be a solution stated on that question. As my comment states, i dont really care if i can't use the off key (if it is a bug ill just wait till a fix appears) on my trackpad, but to not have a trackpad at all is a bit of a showstopper, is there anyway to re enable a dead trackpad? nb im using ubuntu 10.10</p>

13554 | 1 | null | 2010-11-16T22:23:51.740 | 2 | 16148 | <p>I'm on a triple boot MacBook (OSX, Ubuntu, Windows). Windows started misbehaving and needed to be re-installed (as it often does). After reinstalling windows, the MBR now points to Windows directly and not GRUB.</p>
<p>GRUB recovery which works on most MRB Partition Table, did not on this GPT Partition table:</p>
<p><code>$ sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu /dev/sda</code></p>
<p>Ubiquity knows how to do this correctly. Which command can I run to recover GRUB/MBR on an Intel Mac?</p>
<p>SOLUTION:
This was not simple but I found out how to do it. Thanks to Colin Watson and to the Debian IntelMac[1] Documentation for each giving me parts of the solution.</p>
<p>Here is what I did:</p>
<p>1) Boot From LiveCD</p>
<p>2) Go to places and mount partition with Ubuntu</p>
<p>3) Press CTRL-L in nautilus or use the mount command to find out where that partition is mounted (example: /media/123)</p>
<p>4) Open a Terminal (Application > Accessories > Terminal)</p>
<p>5) Run the following commands:</p>
<p>$ for x in dev proc sys; do sudo mount --bind /$x /media/123/$x; done</p>
<pre><code>$ sudo chroot /media/123
# dhclient
# apt-get install grub-pc os-prober gptsync
# gptsync /dev/sda # Say YES
# grub-install --force /dev/sda #Tried sda4 (the ubuntu partition) but resulted w/blink _ at boot
# update-grub
# exit
$ sudo reboot
</code></pre>

It's a large maintenance burden on the Ubuntu Kernel Team to have to maintain out of tree patches. Additionally, if the patch will benefit the entire Kernel Community, it should go upstream first.</p>\n\n<p>Once the patch has been accepted upstream, it will eventually make its way into the Ubuntu kernel automatically. A cherry-pick or pull request could also be made if one so desired, see the page, <a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelPatches\" rel=\"nofollow\">KernelPatches</a>, for more information.</p>\n\n<p>If the patch needs to be applied as an SRU (<a href=\"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates\" rel=\"nofollow\">stable release update</a>) to a previous Ubuntu release it's best to get the patch accepted into the corresponding upstream stable 2.6.x.y tree. As a part of our normal kernel SRU process, we continually rebase to the latest upstream stable kernel. Thus we would again eventually get the patch automatically.</p>\n",

13599 | 1 | 95247 | 2010-11-17T01:51:50.520 | 7 | 3273 | <p>A while ago, I used to use the <a href="http://grsecurity.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">grsecurity</a> kernel patches, which had an option to hide process arguments from other non-root users. Basically this just made <code>/proc/*/cmdline</code> be mode 0600, and <code>ps</code> handles that properly by showing that the process exists but not its arguments.</p>
<p>This is kind of nice if someone on a multiuser machine is running say <code>vi christmas-presents.txt</code>, to use the canonical example.</p>
<p>Is there any supported way to do this in Ubuntu, other than by installing a new kernel?</p>
<p>(I'm familiar with the technique that lets individual programs alter their argv, but most programs don't do that and anyhow it is racy. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/724582/hide-arguments-from-ps">This stackoverflow user</a> seems to be asking the same question, but actually just seems very confused.)</p>

<p>But, in the meantime, NVidia-settings has been so awful it's been scaring users away from Ubuntu for the past 4 years.

<p>Most of the stuff in there doesn't even make sense -- for instance there's a completely useless "write to xorg.conf" button that is incredibly scary.</p>

<p>It got deleted. </p>
<p>But when I opened up the trash folder by clicking on that icon, the folder I had deleted was not there. I then clicked on the properties of the trash folder and it said that there are 113 items in the trash while at the bottom of the window it says there is 0 items in the trash.</p>
<p>I tried viewing hidden folders but nothing showed up. I also tried to open it as root but nothing showed up again.</p>
<p>So does anyone know how I can view the 113 items in the trash?</p>

Normally you only have a single handle for a file, but you can create others using the <code>ln</code> command to create a hard link. This creates what appears to be an identical copy of your file but is actually just adding another handle - so you haven't used twice the disk space. You can check this by looking at the inode of the two files - this tells you where the data actually is. </p>\n\n<p>So e.g. in a terminal window:</p>\n\n<p><code>ln existing_movie.avi movie_hardlink.avi</code></p>\n\n<p><code>ls -i</code></p>\n\n<p>The -i argument to ls shows the inode information for files - they should be identical.</p>\n\n<p>When you delete one of those files, the data will remain because the other one still retains a handle to the inode. Once you delete the second file, the inode has no remaining handles/references and so is deleted/marked as unused space. This is directly analogous to the case when your player has the movie open, except that the second handle here is within the running program rather than a second file in the filesystem.</p>\n",

<p>I'm on a default install (i.e Gnome, Metacity & Compiz). I've looked through all the locations to configure keybinds, that I know. I've also looked at the default keybind list in the Ubuntu wiki and in the Compiz wiki. (Not to mention, searching here.)</p>

The problem I have is that I often read ebooks on several computers and I have to find were I was on the last computer I was reading the pdf. I think syncing these bookmarks in UbuntuOne would be a killer feature for people like me who read pdfs on different computers.</p>
<p>By investigating a bit, I found where evince was storing this data. It is in the <strong>gvfs metadata</strong> and it can be accessed for a particular document by typing </p>
<pre><code>gvfs-ls -a "metadata::evince::page" myEbook.pdf
</code></pre>
<p>Rather that querying a particular file, I'd like to query the whole metadata file located in <code>~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home</code> for the home directory, for any file where this particular attribute is set to some value. The biggest issue is that gvfs metadata and stored in binary files and we all know it's not easy to get something out of a binary file.</p>
<p>So, do you know any way to query the gvfs metadata for some attribute?</p>

13745 | 1 | 13748 | 2010-11-17T22:31:37.507 | 10 | 145 | <p>I'm looking for some guidance on how to keep track of the contributions I make to the project so I can present them as evidence when I eventually apply for <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership" rel="noreferrer">Ubuntu membership</a>. When I was listening to <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon" rel="noreferrer">Jono Bacon's weekly Q&A on Ustream</a> earlier tonight, a question was asked about what was meant by a 'sizeable and sustained contribution' to the project, with respect to an Ubuntu membership application, he said that it consisted of a prolonged period of regular contributions which were logged in a wiki. Is this the Ubuntu wiki, or is that just reserved for high level projects? Also some advice on what's worth recording (every single bug report?) would also help. Thanks.</p>

<p>What I need in specific is tunnelling of traffic over HTTPS to go around a proxy server that only allows HTTP and HTTPS protocols.</p>
<p>What I did try is following <a href="http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-pptp-vpn-server-with-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html" rel="nofollow">this ubuntugeek.com guide</a>. I've gone through each step (<a href="https://gist.github.com/704376" rel="nofollow">here are my config files</a>), set up an account through DynDns.com, set up port forwarding and set up a VPN on my copy of Windows 7:</p>
<ul>
<li>Endpoint: <em>redacted</em></li>
<li>Username: badp (I also tried delta)</li>
<li>Password: <em>redacted</em></li>
</ul>
<p>I've also turned on logging on the Windows 7 side of things and attempted to connect from an unfiltered location. From <a href="https://gist.github.com/704376#file_relevant%20logs%20from%20the%20windows%20diagnostics" rel="nofollow">the logs</a>, it seems like the connection is dropped right after authentication takes place.</p>
<p>Where did I go wrong? Was there a guide on the Ubuntu official resources I could've tried instead?</p>

<p>For some programs I use, I have to make custom launchers or <code>.desktop</code> files.</p>
<p>For instance, daily blender builds are generally just folders with an executable.</p>
<p>In basic Gnome or KDE, I can make a new menu entry with the menu editing system. Then, I can also add it to Docky either from the menu or by dragging a <code>.desktop</code> file to it. Unity launcher doesn't support drag and drop, so thats not a bug or anything, but when I open a <code>.desktop</code> file, it has unpredictable results. Most time it will not have "keep in launcher". Sometime it will have a pinnable item without the <code>.desktop</code>'s icon, and if I pin the item to the launcher, it will not call upon the program again after closing it. I've also gotten it to just work with a <code>.desktop</code> file for <code>celtx</code>.</p>

When I connect it, it works properly, except the max resolution available is 1024x768. Usually, I'd go into the xorg.conf and add it, but 10.10 doesn't seem to have an xorg.conf. I read on another question here that I could simply go into recovery mode and make one using <code>X -configure</code> and moving the new xorg.conf into /X11/ but that caused X to not even start. I renamed xorg.conf to a temp name for now.</p>
<p>What should I be trying? Thanks!</p>

<p>Any alternative ways of moving my e-mail? Preferably something that works from the Server, but I'm willing to take detours, as it is a one-time job.</p>

<p>I've tried <strong>Accessibility / Mouse Accessibility / Locate Pointer</strong>
which will: <code>Show pointer position when Control is pressed</code> </p>
<p>It works (to a point), but it does have a notable problem, which renders it impractical. </p>
<ul>
<li>It has the uncanny side-effect of disallowing all Control key navigation while editing a file/dir name in Nautilus <kbd>F2</kbd>. Just touching the Control key drops it out of edit mode, which means I can't keyboard paste, move-L/R word etc... </li>
</ul>
<p>So, I'm looking for an alternative.<br>
I've tried Compiz's <strong>Water Effect</strong>, but I need something which is sharper, faster, and localized to the pointer. </p>
<p>Compiz's <strong>Show Mouse</strong> (with fire) is not suitable. </p>
<p>I'm really looking for an analog of "Accessibility / Locate Pointer":<br>
* ie. I hit Control <strong>(only)</strong>.. and it <strong>blips</strong> a quick visual pulse. </p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>:<br>
I've just realized why I can't find my mouse so often!<br>
... It's because it is <strong>isn't there</strong> !!!<br>
... Two apps I use a lot, Gedit and Konsole (KDE Terminal; it renders unicode better),<br>
... dissolve the mouse-pointer to invisible after the first key is typed ... and Konsole does it after a few seconds of idle-time... like a video-player option: "hide the mouse".. Well I don't use the mouse much, and I thought it was juse my eyesight (which does rely a lot on Compiz's zoom)... I discovered it when I installed a "novelty" app, called <code>Geyes</code> from <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/gnome-applets" rel="nofollow noreferrer">gnome-applets</a> <a href="http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome-applets" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://hostmar.co/software-small" alt="Install gnome-applets"></a> ("A goofy set of eyes for the GNOME panel. They follow your mouse.") ... It could follow the mouse better than me! :)<br>

13835 | 1 | 13861 | 2010-11-18T13:58:50.030 | 2 | 656 | <p>Syncing Thunderbird contacts with UbuntuOne previously relied on the Funambol sync client, which used UbuntuOne's beta phone sync feature to basically treat Thunderbird as a phone. With the introduction of paid syncing for phones, it doesn't seem like there is anyway to sync Thunderbird contacts with UbuntuOne without paying for a phone plan. Since that seems a little steep to just get that single piece of functionality, I was wondering if there are any other ways to sync Thunderbird contacts with UbuntuOne - either through couchDB or perhaps mirroring Thunderbird contacts to Evolution?</p>
<p>(There is a question on this general topic already: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/3116/ubuntuone-contact-synching-for-thunderbird">UbuntuOne contact synching for Thunderbird?</a> , however, this is from before the plan and pricing restructuring was done and the answer provided is to use Funambol in UbuntuOne, so I thought it better to open a new question)</p>
