How can someone automatically add wine programs (such as Microsoft Office) to the right click context menu? In my case specifically the software is installed via play on linux.
For example, when a user right clicks on a *.doc file, they have the choice of "Open with Libre Office" and "Open with Microsoft Word".
P.S I have done this before on a previous installation but I can't remember exactly how.
In the files and folders lens in natty, it lists all the folders in my home directory as "favourite folders".
I store all my documents on a seperate shared drive, so how can I "pin" the actual folders I use here instead of these empty ones?
I'm on a laptop and I have a touch sensitive volume control slider thing which works in Ubuntu but is way too sensitive, a tiny little stroke and its either at full volume or nothing. Is there a way of changing its sensitivity?
I'm on an hp6715b laptop if that makes any difference.
I'm running Maverick at the moment and the default music player is Rhythmbox. It interfaces with the panel through the sound menu, so you can see it playing like this:
I know that, in Natty, Banshee is due to be the default music player, so I was trying it out the other day to get to grips with it. How can I change which music player interfaces with the panel like this (from Rhythmbox to Banshee and then back again)? Because, at the moment, when I run Banshee, I just get this:
...and no Banshee integration.
I was looking at what modules were loaded the other day on my laptop and I was wondering what the hp_accel module does. Any ideas?
I keep all my documents on a separate drive from my ubuntu installation, and I have a folder full of nice wallpapers on that drive. How can I make ubuntu automatically search this directory so wallpapers show up in the wallpaper changer dialogue, reached from right clicking on the desktop and selecting Change Desktop Wallpaper?
Edit: I've tried putting a symlink in the /usr/share/backgrounds folder to the other drive and that didn't work.
I'm trying to install the novell iPrint client on ubuntu 10.10, which comes as an rpm package and so needs to be installed via alien. One of its requirements to work properly seems to be a package called libglitz-glx1. This package seems to be available for several distributions but not in the main repository for Ubuntu 10.10.
The package does seem to be available for the 32 bit version of ubuntu but I'm running 64 bit. Is it possible to download and use the 32 bit version and rebuild it for 64 bit or is it not that simple...
Simply put: how can I install libglitz-glx1.
I do a lot of video editing and processing, and spend a lot of time looking at the output of command line programs like ffmpeg. Ffmpeg produces a regular output of the form
frame=1234 fps=80 q=-1.0 size= 23456kB time=1234 bitrate=280.0kbits/s
frame=1237 fps=80 q=-1.0 size= 23678kB time=1258 bitrate=280.0kbits/s
...
my question is, is there a command line program that could automatically graph the output of this (preferably live)? so you could write
ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -lotsofoptions -outputfile.avi > graphprogramorsomething
and it would produce a nice chart showing how the fps and things varied throughout the whole process.
Not really a mission critical request but would make the wait much nicer...
This question is very closely related to What exactly is "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" safe mode? (and I'm having exactly the same problem), as the comment says the answer given may be confusing safe mode from the boot menu and safe mode from GDM.
Assuming we choose the "Ubuntu Desktop Edition (safe mode)" from the login screen, firstly what does this not load in relation to not safe mode? and secondly is there a way of finding out which modules differ between them, and then selectively starting them to find out which one is causing the problem?
Effectively doing the transition from safe mode to normal mode step by step.
Thanks.
