I downloaded a Greek subtitle for a movie, and this is what I see when I open it with Gedit.
Subtitle works great on VLC, all perfect. But what if I want to edit this subtitle with some Greek words? I instantly get an error about character encoding.
I hit retry and then VLC doesn't recognize the subtitles...
So the script is:
#!/bin/bash
for line in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS; do
if [[ "$line" = "" || "$line" = " " ]]; then
exit
else
unzip "$line" -d "temp"
fi
done
It works well and unzips the file. But if the file is named with a space (eg: Leon - 1994.zip) it will not work and the $line will be
1st time: /home/citybong/Downloads/Leon
2nd time: -
3rd time: 1994.zip
Edit: I fount a link http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.php for the question: "My script can't handle multiple files/files with spaces" but i am kinda newbie to bash scripting and i can't understand their solutions
So when running sudo apt-get update
i get errors:
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net quantal/main amd64 Packages

Because of that update manager always popus up message that i should check my internet connection. So what do i do? How do i remove this packages?
Btw the skype problem started from the moment i tried installing skype from USC.. I ended up installing skype by deb file but having this problem from then...
Also my etc/apt/sourced.list.d doesn't have a skype file or a subfolder..
Ubuntu 12.10 here
The command I want the system to run when the user changes the current theme is
wallch --changetheme
How can I accomplish that?
I have no knowledge of Python, but because ubuntu recommends it i will use it for the appinidcator.. So i got these 2 files:
and the code of the .py file is:
#!/usr/bin/python
import appindicator
import pynotify
import gtk
a = appindicator.Indicator('wallch_indicator', '/home/paul/scripts/wallch_tray.png', appindicator.CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS)
a.set_status( appindicator.STATUS_ACTIVE )
m = gtk.Menu()
ci = gtk.MenuItem( 'Check' )
qi = gtk.MenuItem( 'Quit' )
m.append(ci)
m.append(qi)
a.set_menu(m)
ci.show()
qi.show()
def checkStatus(item):
import urllib2
htmltext = urllib2.urlopen('http://youtube.com/wichitsombat').readlines()
neededline = []
for line in htmltext:
if line.strip().find('stat-value') > -1:
neededline.append(line)
n = neededline[0]
subs = n[n.find('>')+1:n.rfind('<')]
n = neededline[1]
views = n[n.find('>')+1:n.rfind('<')]
# show the notification message
pynotify.init('wallch_indicator')
n = pynotify.Notification('<b>Paulgramming Channel</b>',
'subscribers: %s views: %s'%(subs, views),
'notification-message-im')
n.show()
ci.connect('activate', checkStatus)
def quit(item):
gtk.main_quit()
qi.connect('activate', quit)
gtk.main()

When i run python wallch_indicator.py it keeps running but i don't see the indicator..What am i doing wrong?
So as more of you know, ubuntu has dropped the whole thing about tray and bringed something new called indicators.. As far as i know Qt Creator (IDE) is able to make only a tray and not an indicator (Just to mention there is a package in ubuntu called sni-qt which comes preinstalled, that can show tray icons but they lose a lot of their abilities like left clicking, scrolling at tray and others )..
I think the same question was asked here (Using AppIndicators with the Qt framework) and one of the answers was for this package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt).. With this package will i be able to create indicators with Qt? (If yes how?)
If i am not able to create an indicator with Qt, should i use a more native IDE to create an external executable which only thing it does will be to show the indicator? If yes, will that one be with Quickly? If yes could u give one-two links to help me create an indicator?
Here is a screenshot of what i see in Gparted..
What can i do to expand my ntfs with that 20gb unallocated space? I see no available options when i right click the unallocated space..
So i have installed synaptic package manager.. via it, i have checked once libopencv-highgui-dev and applied complete removal.. after that i installed it... now everytime i try to install an application e.g Format Junkie
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:format-junkie-team/release && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install formatjunkie
in the command install format junkie it gives me that error everytime:
sudo apt-get install formatjunkie

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

libopencv-features2d-dev : Depends: libopencv-highgui-dev (= 2.3.1-11ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
What should i do? And 2nd what did i did wrong so it won't happen another time?

So my icon is the lizard ( the first one in the tray )
If i open the dash there is an automatic mono effect to all the icons in the tray
So i am wondering how can i edit my icon ( with an image editing software ), to make it mono, so it is more ubuntu-native..

How can I install Windows 7 after I've installed Ubuntu?
I have dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 32 bit and I want to format my windows 7 partition to put windows 7 64 bit.. How can I do this?
PS: I have the windows 7 64 bit ready in my dvd!
Hello i was always using ubuntu from 10.04 and now i have 12.04.. Any version from 10.04 to 12.04 had appeared with many problems with ubuntu..
Problems like, in 12.04 the sleep fuction when the laptop is reopened shows a black screen and i have to crash my laptop
Youtube was showing videos but faces of humans were in blue.. I have found here a solution from here. Now another problem appeared which i can't explain or screenshot it. It like the video playing inside the video.
Another problem is that i had maaaany times problems with booting ubuntu.. LIke more than 10 times i have googled a solution so as to boot my ubuntu..
Chromium opens after 10 seconds ( my friend's laptop opens in 2-3 )
While on the other hand my friend using ubuntu from 9.04 he has like 0 problems..
So my question is this, can the hardware cause all of these problems?
I have tried avidemux2_cli, mencoder, ffmpeg, cat.. But this doesn't always work (With the most of the times the error is that the audio codec is not the same) Maybe i put wrong options in the commands.
So the commands:
cat Sample.avi rrr.avi > complete.avi
ffmpeg -i Sample.avi -i output.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy complete.avi
mencoder -ovc lavc -oac copy Sample.avi rrr.avi -o complete.avi
avidemux2_cli --audio-codec copy --video-codec copy --output-format avi --load Sample.avi -append output.avi --save video.avi
The cat problem is that it doesn't show error but it doesn't work always..Like the complete.avi will be exactly the same with Sample.avi
Fmmpeg does nothing. The complete.avi is always the same with Sample.avi
Mencoder error: All files must have identical audio codec and format for -oac copy. So the complete.avi is the same with Sample.avi
avidemux2_cli there is no error but the complete.avi is again the same with Sample.avi..
So to sum up, all complete.avi are the same with Sample.avi.. And the problem is that they don't have the same audio codec ( i quess ).. Any ideas?
as you can see here in screenshot the nvidia x server settings program is installed but when i click it, simple nothing happens... this is a very strange problem..
I want to connect my laptop with hdmi and with a quick search on google i must do it with that program...Any ideas?
There you say "The application must contain exclusively original code and the Participant must be the original author of the content".
So there is a problem, for example: When we convert from our program a file using ffmpeg?.
Is that against Novelty?
I don't want to lose any data or else i would installed them again. There must be a way to increase the partition size.
