I am unable to see the rabbit vcs context menu in the file manager window
ubuntu 16.04
rabbitvcs installed via xenial repositories
Been using RabbitVCS for months now happily. Then when I updated to Oneric on Monday Rabbit VCS stopped working.
It is installed but the right click menu in nautilus is gone and unintsalling/reinstalling does nothing. It sees to be available from the command line but the GUI seems to have vanished.
So I am trying to install the latest version of Phatch using the .deb for ubuntu available on their site and installing through the Ubuntu Software center. I get the message "Cannot install blender".
So I try to install blender (still in USC) and I get the following:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
blender: Depends: libavcodec-extra-52 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: libavdevice-extra-52 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but 4:0.6.1-2ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libavformat-extra-52 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but 4:0.6.1-2ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libavutil-extra-50 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed
Depends: libjpeg62 (>= 6b1) but 6b1-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.5) but 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed

Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 is to be installed
When I try to install any of the missing packages in Synaptic it fails: for example
libavdevice-extra-52:
Depends: libavcodec-extra-52 (<4:0.6.1-99) but 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: libavformat-extra-52 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavformat-extra-52 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavutil-extra-50 (<4:0.6.1-99) but 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
It also wants to uninstall a lot of programs including audacity, vlc etc.
So is it actually possible to install blender and therfor Phatch on Ubuntu 11.04 and if so how?
When I try to use Banshee to copy files from to my Creative Zen Stone MP3 player it keeps converting the files from MP3 to FLAC.
It detects the player fine and copies files to it fine. Syncs to a playlist fine. But the only option I have under "Device Properties" is FLAC. There is no MP3 option for encoding. So instead of just copying the files it encodes them from MP3 to FLAC and then copies the FLAC files.
I have the Gstreamer multiverse ugly package installed from Synaptic already and MP# files play fine (most of my collection is MP3)
Is there something I am missing, a package I need to install that will let me sync MP3 files to my MP3 player as MP3's?
I already have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed

I totally have no idea what to do, or even what most of this means, any help at all to get my wifi working again would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If I want to install KDE alongside Gnome how can I keep KDE apps out of the menu when I am in Gnome and Gnome apps out of the menu when I am in KDE?
I am planning on getting rid of all my wired connections in the house and switching everything over to wifi. My question pertains specifically to desktop computers, not laptops!
So my questions are
1) What wifi cards are proven to work, out of the box, with the latest version of ubuntu without needing to install additional software?
2) What are the known issues with each one (range issues, configuration issues etc
3) And if there isn't a solid out of the box choice, what are good alternatives that may require drives be installed but have minimal fuss to do so?
4) All other considerations aside, what would be recommended as best choice if convenience and ease of installation was not an issue.
Thanks!
I am preparing to make a significant investment into a new desktop computer. It will be used for work and play. I would like to see if any embers of the community have used any of the components and if anyone can let me know if these will work ok with Ubuntu.
The system is to support 3 screens as one giant desktop rather than 3 separate desktops. Windows should be able to be moved from screen to screen.
If anyone can suggest superior alternatives(and why they would be superior) that would also be apprecaited
Here then are the components I am buying
- Intel Core I5-760 (2.80GHZ)/8MB L3 Cache LGA1156 Processor
- CI-EVGA P55 LE Motherboard
- 2 Seagate 1Terabyte SATA Hard Drives
- Liteon IHAS-224 24x SATA Lightscribe DVDRW
- CI-EVGA GTX465 1GB DDR5 256Bit Dual DVI HDMI Videocard
- Creative SB X-FI Xtreme Audio (sound card)
- will a sound card enhance music/movie audio or is it a waste?
- 3 LG 20" (possibly larger) LED (1600/900) %MS/DVI Widescreen
- Are LED better than LCD?
- How large a screen is 'to large' when it comes to work (I am a web programmer)
- DLINK DWA-525 150MBPS PCI Wireless Network Adapter
- Need good advice on a quality webcam that will work without difficulty on Ubuntu
- Need good advice on a brand of PC speakers that gives exceptional sound quliaty
I should say, I am not overly familiar with the innards of a PC so I have no idea if I have been oversold. I am also limited on the parts I can get (for example the sound card is the only sound card that shop had in stock) though I can order parts if I know what to order.
I need to be able to
- Have a multiscreen (3 screen) setup with the ability to move windows between all 3 screens
- Run compiz fusion
- Listen to music
- Watch Movies/DVD
- Write code
I am running the latest version of Ubuntu. Going back at least 3 versions and across updates and re-installations I have never and can still not get open office's spell check to work. This renders the package almost unusable.
So my question is 2 fold:
1) How can I get the spell check working or is it even possible
2) What is a good alternative that:
- Has a working spell check
- Converts in a one click process accurately and reliable to pdf
Rhythmbox isn't seeing all of my files. I have a library of music over 24,000 tracks all MP3's.
Rhythmbox sees 11,500 of them only.
This has been a problem for a while. I keep coming back to Rhythmbox as its integration with Ubuntu is so tight and I like that. But this problem is stopping me from using it.
I have tried Banshee, but the sound quality is tinny and horrible (hearing rumors of Banshee replacing Rhythmbox in 11.04 is giving me nightmares)
I used to use Songbird but it was always a bit buggy and they have now pulled Linux Support.
Exaile doesn't integrate well enough either. I tried Guaydeque, and it shows a lot of promise, but again its integration is horrible.
Is there a way to make Rhythmbox see all my MP3's or is there a music player with tight integration, great sound, good features, Gnome native and actively developed I can switch to?
Edit: I remember hearing somewhere it had to do with MP3 with variable bit rate?
Edit: answers to various comments:
Took a look and I can't see anything specifically the same about all the files that is different from the files it does see. But we are talking about over 10,000 files missing, to large a number for me to be able to draw any accurate conclusions in any timely fashion.
Not getting any error messages. All I did was set my music library folder to be the folder in Preferences and ticked the box to watch the library for new files. It works fine with every other media player I have tried, but every time I try Rhythmbox (several times now over the last couple of years) it fails to get a the majority of my tracks.
My files are all on one external drive in one folder which than has subfolders for each artists and sub folders in those for each album. But that's as far as it goes for multiple locations, ie its not really multiple locations and no symbolic links.
This has been happening across several clean installs across several version of Ubuntu.
As the title suggests. Selecting a background image, color or using the transparency sitting doesn't work with the Ambiance theme.
Sections of the panel will take the new settings, but many of the applets including the clock, Indicator Applet Session, Indicator Applet, Rhythmbox icon, Tomboy Icon, Separators and various others retain the Ambiance theme background. This carries over through restart.
Also you cannot resize the panel in Ambiance above 24 pixels as the background image doesn't scale.
Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or is it meant to be like that?
I really like Ambiance, but am having a hard time using it because of these issues
Edit: It seems these issues carry over to Radiance and New Wave as well
As the title suggests, I want to use the About Me section under System>Preferences without using evolution. (I don't have evolution installed on my computer as I handle email/calendering etc via google apps)
As it stands I get an error message unless evolution is installed which means I can't establish a profile properly on the Indicator Applet Session as it seems to pull from 'About Me'
