Re: Odds and ends
 

In Google Talk, when I was speaking with a friend who was on her Windows 7 machine, I had the camera out and clicked on the video thingy on my tablet.

It said that the call didn't support video. :(

Too bad there isn't some way for her to download an earlier video codec that would match the tablet's version.

This has to be 5 year old, stale news...

On Windows XP, I right clicked on my Audio folder, Sharing and Security, Share this folder on the network.

I've done this so I can play music through my Xbox.

Anyway, in File Manager, it also shows on my tablet.

If I click a song, it will even play it.

Finding something new like this always has me in smiles. :)

So yeah, I also have a shared Video folder as well.

The thing is, there's no way for me to tell Mplayer to open one of the vids.

I get an Unable to recognize the type of file and it asks for me to search for the app to open it with.

When I choose Mplayer, it launches the app but forgets that I wanted to play the video.

Any trick to this?

Re: Odds and ends
 

Here's something that I hope someone knows.

I launch gvm like this....
/usr/bin/gvm/gvm -O none -a lnch -d 8192 -B /home/user/MyDocs/.images/gvm.png -u James

Sometimes when gvm crashes, it's still continues to run, updating the gvm.store file.

If I do the above command while gvm is still active, nothing happens.

What would be the script to wait for gvm to close first before trying to launch it again?

Thanks. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

Could someone please help me problem solve this?

Sign up for this site, it's free. It's an awesome chess website.

m.gameknot.com

For my settings, I'm using an Intermediate board size since it fills the screen quite nicely.

Okay, so when using Microb in full screen, there's like some type of offset. I have to click two squares to the left from the chess piece I'm selecting.

If I'm in windowed mode, the offset is one square.

Is there anything in the about:config options that can be changed to resolve this?

I would use Tear, but for some reason, it doesn't save the cookies correctly.

Super many thanks if someone does actually take a look at this for me. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

Did you try Opera?

Re: Odds and ends
 

I've tried Opera, it was pretty ugly and didn't work so hot.
Disegia (sp?), it wouldn't allow a pop up window.
Fennec, it wouldn't allow me to log in.
Maccucuo (sp?), pretty nice but crashed on me every time almost.

I even copied the .cookies for Microb and pasted them in the .webkit cookies file for Tear.

I really did try a bunch of things on my own before asking help on this. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

The about:config thing in Microb, I would like the D-Pad to send a left and right signal like it does but for it not too also scroll the screen as well on a web page that I really like.

Is there any way to do this?

Re: Odds and ends
 

Does anyone know the exact pixel size that can be used for the default contacts app?

When placing or receiving an internet call, it looks to be around 400x400 but I'm not quite sure.

I've tried looking almost everywhere, but I can't seem to find an answer for this.

Re: Odds and ends
 

In case I confused anyone on this request, here is what I'm after.

I would simply like to know what dimensions I need to crop the images of my contacts so it fills the entire area.

I've looked everywhere in /usr/share/icons and can't seem to find the background .png of it.

Re: Odds and ends
 

User data would be stored somewhere in /home/user, /usr is for static system/application data, even if it may sound like it contains user data. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

Thanks!

I''ll go looking for it there right now. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

Hmmm....

The gray background, almost square image, is static though since it appears behind every contact image.

Could it perhaps be found in home/user/.icons/xcursor-transparent/cursors/?

I can't view any of those images though because they have some type of different encoding to them.

Re: Odds and ends
 

I think I might have an idea... :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

Okay. With the help of user Creamy Goodness here, it looks to be 384x384.

Now I know what size to crop my images so they don't appear distorted on the screen anymore.

Joy. :)

Re: Odds and ends
 

I found a killer FTP site. :)

What would be the best app to use for this?

Re: Odds and ends
 

Tried gftp?

EDIT: or did you mean on desktop?

Re: Odds and ends
 

I'm trying to make a copy and paste shortcut key.

In my .xbindkeysrc file I've got

"xclip -o -selection clip"
F7

"xclip -i -selection clip"
F8

It doesn't do anything even though the output one works on the command line.

What am I missing on this?

Thanks ahead. :)

Re: Odds and ends

Or just get rid of the "-selection clip".

Re: Odds and ends
 

Yeah. I now try to read up on the internet before posting any of my stupid questions. *lol*

I've tried your other suggestion as well before posting here.

It works just fine in Xterm using the command line, but anywhere else, nothing seems to happen.

I don't understand why that is.
