I use (and love) QuodLibet as a my music player and it has a plugin that calculates replay gain values (album and track) and stores them in the files.
However, it doesn't work for my m4a files...just my mp3 and flac.
Any suggestions for a tool that will do this on Ubuntu 12.04+
I use nitrogen to set a different wallpaper for each monitor. It requires disabling of the Nautilus desktop, but works great. Until I reboot...at which point the settings are lost and I go back to the default Gnome wallpaper which is the same on both monitors.
Anyway to make the nitrogen settings stick?
I have a server that hosts about 20 KVM guest machines. It's syslog is, at times, flooded with messages like these:

Things seem to be running fine. Anyone have any idea what this is?
I know I can record my desktop while running Remmina, but is there an easy way to record a VNC session without having to watch the actual session live on your screen? Sometimes I need to leave the VNC session for a while to do some other task and I would like to continue to record during that time.
Currently I manually poweroff each KVM guest before rebooting the host. However, this is getting old and now I am up to about 20 guest machines.
Can I trust Ubuntu Server 12.04 to do the Right Thing and hold off on completing a shutdown until the last KVM client is off?
Alternatively is there an easier way to shut all the guests off gracefully?
Was in my syslog today and noticed that the Google Chrome web browser is create TONS of events that look like this:

Anybody know what these are and if they are a problem and how to make them go away (without just disabling kernel logging?)
I have about 8 lenses installed. Some of them (Everpad, AskUbuntu) I'd like to appear on the Dash home page, and others (Downloads) that are on the home page I would like to not be there. Anyway to configure this?
I have three separate Firefox profiles, and while I have no problem running them at the same time (via ProfileSwitcher add-on), the default behavior of the Unity Launcher's Firefox icon is to launch the profile that was used last.
Most of this time, this is fine, but sometimes I'd like to select which one I'd like to run. I am thinking that a quicklist menu on the Firefox launcher is a better way to do this than having multiple launchers.
However, I'm not sure how to do this.
I need to record some video from my webcam, and while Cheese works, it lacks settings, and only outputs the webm format that is full of stutters, etc.
Can't seem to find any alternative...
I sometimes open large files with dozens of pages of text in them. However, often I find that I drag the overlay scrollbar to the top or to the bottom of the window, but I am nowhere near the beginning or the end of the document.
Currently to finish scrolling I either:
I am really getting annoyed with this! Is something I am doing wrong? Is there another way to make it work just like regular scrollbars where you grab the elevator and drag to where you want to be?
I have a new System76 Gazelle laptop with an Intel i7-3820QM CPU. My understanding was that this chip was a quad-core. If so, why does system monitor show 8 cpus?
I've grown quite weary of shift-pgup to page up in gnome terminal, the command line, terminator, and guake, etc.
Any way to easily make these apps use the straight page-up and page-down keys for paging around?
Anybody know of a Unity indicator that will indicate if any of my software RAID arrays are running in degraded mode?
Really would be awesome...
I'm trying to write a script to setup my desktop environment after a fresh install. One thing I can't figure out is how to pin/unpin items to the Unity Launcher from a bash script. Any ideas?
I'd like to convert my Skype chat history to a collection of text files for archival purposes. Ideally, I'd like to have a command (e.g. script or app) so that I could do this on a regular basis.
Any one have any idea on how to go about doing this?
I was notified of some updates today, but when I looked at the list I saw that they were all about evolution-data-server and evolution-data-server-common. My first thought was that "I don't use evolution at all, so why is this stuff on my machine?"
I then went into Synaptic to purge all things evolution and to my dismay, removing the evolution-data-server-common has the side effect of removing all the Gnome applets, indicators, and several other useful features.
Whats up with that? Honestly...
It is often suggested to me that to improve the performance of the Eclipse development environment, that I should move the Java JDK/JVM (and possibly Eclipse) to a Ramdisk.
I know that the Ubuntu has this /dev/shm device always available, but whats the right way to set up a ram disk with Java on it that will be there everytime I boot up?
Is there a way for me to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Chrome on several different Ubuntu machines?
Edit: Even willing to run something on my own web server if that makes a difference.
Via Gnome Nautilus I can easily mount Samba shares from my Ubuntu Server. However, these "mounts" are kinda of fake. Many applications I run do not recognize that Gnome has mounted these server folders and therefore cannot open files off my server.
In the past I created an /etc/fstab entry and mounted them globally, the /mnt folder, but this isn't going to work as other people share my Ubuntu laptop.
What's the easiest way to create a "real" samba mount in my (and other people's) home directory? It's fine if its a command or a GUI application that can run when I log in. These server folders don't have to be mounted all the time.
Long time user of Ubuntu struggling to use Unity here....
I am running Unity 2D and can click on the workspace launcher icon to switch to a different workspace. However if I just walk up to a system, how can I tell by looking what workspace I am on?
Is the launcher icon supposed to change when you change workspace? Is there an indicator applet for this I can install? I am used to the old Gnome workspace switcher in the middle of the top panel!
