I installed ubiquity:
sudo apt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-casper ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu ubiquity-frontend-gtk
and I made some modifications to it:
Everything looks good, but now how can I put it back into the installer?
Do I need to re-compile? Use lz? Something else?
I have a video I need to convert to mp3 (from the command line - not GUI): video.mp4
I tried:
ffmpeg -i -b 192 video.mp4 video.mp3
with no success. I get the following error:
WARNING: library configuration mismatch
Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 59.83 (29917/500) -> 59.75 (239/4)
WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not kbits/s
Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0
so I tried lame:
lame -h -b 192 video.mp4 video.mp3
I get:
Warning: unsupported audio format
Am I missing something?

i am using ubuntu 10.10, is there another command to extract lz files? am i missing a parameter?
what can be the issue? thanks
I want to create a new splash theme for Ubuntu 11.10 using a volcano theme, so when it boots the volcano erupts with lava (same for shutdown). Now I have my image (png) but obviously it does not animate. I looked at the solar plymouth theme and I was thinking since the animation is there I can check it but no luck.
Is there a tool or a script I need to use to animate my volcano?
The image looks like this:
I've already got the animated image, I'm just wondering how I can make it run at startup.
I would like to know how can I customize the Ubuntu installer NOT customize Ubuntu, I just want to modify the installer.
We have a large environment here with lots of developers and since we don't use Windows, I want to customize the installer to automatically set the timezone to NYC, the keyboard layout to English USA, put the company logo in the installer etc...
I updated my Ubuntu but it crashed during installation and I was not able to recover it (my hard drive crashed). I changed my hard drive and re-install ubuntu
I saved all my important docs (bookmark, documents etc...)
One thing I was unable to recover is the profile from my shell (I changed the color scheme, title, number of lines scrollback etc...)
Where can I save this so next time something happens I won't have to set my terminal settings all over again?
i have on my server a settings i use for all my users. every time i create a new user i have to copy all the settings over and over.
for example:
i saw skel can do it, is there a easy way to setup a user with my settings when i adduser?
thanks
i am building my own distro (which i am almost done) but one thing left is the name of it. since i am not sure what to name it im leaving the "ubuntu" there
i know i will have to change the following files

(on my site it shows it's an ubuntu version - i read the tm etc... but i want the name of my distro to be there) thanks
I want to update my splash screen (when I boot or logoff), logo etc... to use the solar theme.
I did:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-solar
then I went to the themes folder to customize it:
/lib/plymouth/themes/
and I updated logos and other images:
sudo update-initramfs -u
I think this command is the right one to run but when I run it, nothing is updated
What am I missing?
