I've just been listening to Rhythmbox. I restarted my machine and now it won't play. I've run Rhythmbox through terminal but find no errors, and when i double-click the track I want it selects that track and looks as if its going to play it but the progress bar at the top doesn't move!

I've checked all of my sound options and codecs and they seem to be in place and I also have ubuntu-restricted-extras.

Anyone else experienced this?

Cheers

I would like to produce some screencasts with recordmydesktop on my 9.10 Karmic 64bit MacbookPro4,1

If I run recordmydesktop, the sound is not captured very well, the sound is not synchron and every 1 or 2 seconds the sound is missing.

If I run "top" while recording, the CPU-usage is about 18%.... so that should not be the problem...

I read, that using JACK might solve this issue...

so I installed JACK and it starts up without problems....


Now, in recordmydesktop I selected "Use Jack for audio..." and marked the two "capture"-sources showing up...

The problem is, that JACK won't recognize these settings...
The JACK "Connect"-Window does only show the system in- and -outputs, there is no entry for recordmydesktop showing up...

so there is no way to manualy connect the capture-device with recordmydesktop



If I try to start the screencast, recordmydesktop exits by saying "Error 256" (which means, that there is no audio-input-device found)...

Does anyone know how to solve this? ]]> Multimedia Production produnis http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1334157 <![CDATA[[ubuntu] Desktop Icons]]> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1334155&goto=newpost Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:22:10 GMT Is there some way to change the default icon size on the Desktop.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04, WPA encryption.


When ever I turn on my computer, it searches for a wireless network that I have created, then I am prompted twice for authentication, even though the name of the network and the encrypted password is pre-printed on the authentication prompt.

It seems time-consuming having to authenticate not once, but twice.

I've had a search around attempting to find a solution to this problem, but I'm hindered slightly by problems of definition, so I haven't as yet found a fix!

I've got a Dell Mini 9 running UNR 9.10, all up-to-date. I'm using a Huawei E160 HSDPA USB dongle in an attempt to get a mobile Internet connection going. I recently had to re-install UNR due to my irretrievably messing up some packages, and in my previous install the dongle worked fine. Since reinstalling however I have what I believe to be a DNS problem. When the PPP connection is active, attempting to access any URL in Firefox results in an instant "server not found" error - when normally there would be a delay of a few seconds while the request was sent.

Now, when I don't have any credit on my account (with O2 UK PAYG) I would only normally be able to access their "top-up" page, but even that URL is returning a "server not found" immediately. The speed of the error is such that I can only assume it is a DNS problem, perhaps that Ubuntu is trying to resolve DNS on one of the other (disabled) network interfaces (I disabled them all before dialling PPP in order to test it properly). Even with no credit on my account, I should still be able to see DNS lookups being run by the browser, and should definitely still be able to access the "top-up" page (at a slow speed, mind!:)). Running "nslookup" on a host from the Terminal just times out after a few seconds.

I have read about problems with automatic overriding of DNS settings with PPP connections, though I'm not sure they apply in this case. With wifi enabled and PPP offline, my resolv.conf is as follows:

Code:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain domain_not_set.invalid
search domain_not_set.invalid
nameserver 172.16.0.2
nameserver 212.139.132.43
nameserver 212.139.132.44
The first IP is my router (correct) and the second and third IPs appear to belong to my ISP (correct), though I'm not sure how Ubuntu got hold of them as they aren't distributed in my DHCP!

When wifi/ethernet are disabled and PPP is connected, resolv.conf is blank (except for the "Generated by NetworkManager" comment). In the settings for the PPP connection, all IP-related settings are set to automatic, however! So perhaps these aren't getting picked up as they should.

I'm not in the biggest of hurries to get this fixed as I don't need to use the Mini 9 out and about for a while, I'm just irked that it worked fine on my first installation! :) But any advice as to how I might go about solving this would be hugely appreciated nonetheless. And if there's any other diagnostic info I should provide, please let me know.

Thanks for reading,

I have installed Ubuntu 9.0.4 on Samsung R517 notebook.

Brightness control does not work (Fn+Up/Down). Please let me know if anyone has a fix for it.

Has anyone tried running Ubuntu 9.0.4 on Samsung R517? How is the overall experience - does all work well? Should I consider a newer Ubuntu release?
