If you're getting private key password prompts, then you have a problem with your provate keys. There are already enough howtos on the internet for setting up keys, and my howto here doesn't cover...

If you follow the howto as written, then sshfs shares should be unmounted when suspending or hibernating. If not, then your computer may not be explicitly disconnecting from the network before going...

Adding 'gvfs-mount' to your startup programs is an acceptable solution, but be aware that if your computer frequently disconnects and reconnects to the network, you will have to manually remount your...

plac is one of them. Just look through the whole file for lines that say "import." Those are all the modules that you need. They might not all be in the Ubuntu repos, so you might have to install...

I've added a --dry_run option to the script, so now you can test it without worrying about destroying your files.

Anyway, download it from GitHub, put it in your $PATH, and run it with your music...

I already use my script on my own library, since this is why I originally wrote it. It works for me. Secondly, I have since moved the code to GitHub, where you can always find the latest version. The...

joe4379, I should warn you that sshfs can be unreliable under heavy load. If it works for you, then go for it. But don't be surprised when it randomly hangs or disconnects.

Here is another script to do the same thing, only using Gstreamer. It also required quodlibet to be installed, because it uses quodlibet's awesome tagging tools to write the replaygain tags. I am...

That doesn't solve exactly the same problem. The problem I am talking about is when the option to "Enable Networking" is unchecked in the right-click menu of the network applet in the panel. That is,...

If you sometimes have to manually enable networking after a reboot of your computer, you can follow the steps here to force your computer to re-enable networking at every reboot.

First, you'll...

That depends on the behavior of the individual format-specific replaygain tools. For example, mp3gain never needs to recalculate replaygain. I believe most of them do not need to recalculate.

If you manage to work your way through the gain_general function, you'll see that it selects only one of either track or album gain, not both. Basically, it always does per-track gain unless the...

That's the joke. I originally came up with it when playing online shooting games -- the kind where your average lifespan is measured in seconds.

I don't think that anything I've described here could possibly fix suspend or hibernate. The script as I have written it doesn't even do anything at all until after the computer has already suspended...

The Problem

Hi all,

I recently fixed an annoying problem and I thought it would be nice to share my solution here. The problem was that after a cycle of suspend/resume, Network Manager would...

I haven't used F-Spot in a long time, but you can look at the beginning of the script to see all the modules that it uses. If you just search for a package containing "perl" and the words that make...

There's also stdeb, which adds a setup.py command bdist_deb which you can use to build a deb file as easily as an rpm or tarball.

Just install stdeb, and add the following to ~/.pydistutils.cfg so...

If you're looking for a way to add replay gain tags to all of your music all at once, especially if your music collection consists of multiple file formats, this HOWTO will describe two ways to do...

I have no idea. The concept is to remove flash from the situation. If that removes the lag, then flash was the culprit. Otherwise, something else is causing your lag.

If you just want to remove...

If you're familiar with Greasemonkey, you might try the Youtube Without Flash userscript combined with the mozilla-mplayer package. This will allow you to do almost anything the original flash player...

If you have ever moved your photos around before, you may have had problems with F-Spot keeping the old locations in its database. I wrote a perl script to solve this problem, because the existing...

Yes, I need to update this setup. I had been meaning to set up a solution that used gvfs (GNOME Virtual File System) instead of sshfs, but the gvfs implementation of sftp has not worked consistently...

The default Ubuntu configuration executes these scripts at the appropriate times. I haven't messed around with it lately, but if I recall correctly, the component responsible for executing the...

Did you make sure to mark the scripts executable?

You can test things by makeing some scripts in those directories called 50-test-script.sh with the following contents:

date >> /tmp/if-test.log...

The scripts in the directory /etc/network/if-up.d should be run right after a network connection is established. Likewise, the scripts in /etc/network/if-down.d should be right right before a...
