  How I get the Thunar file manager to display video resolution in properties?
Posted by: MysticFashion - 03-16-2021, 03:03 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hello,

I'm not sure if I posted this in the correct category. I'm trying to get the file manager to reveal to the video resolution (e.g. 1920x1080) when clicking on the properties. When I click on the properties, the file manager has an audio tab. Then when I click information under the audio tab, it gives me the following info:

Filename:
Filesize:
MIME Type:
Bitrate:
Samplerate:
Channels:
Length:

It doesn't tell me the video resolution. I would to know if it is possible to show the video resolution under the properties?

  System startup time on your desktop
Posted by: Moltke - 03-16-2021, 01:06 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!  :027:

I've seen many post from people asking how to reduce/improve startup time, more often than not, to give any kind of advice, they're asked to provide the output of

Code:
systemd-analyze
and according to that, troubleshoot and narrow down the possible solutions, i.e. disable some service. So, I wrote a simple script which runs that command on startup and display the output in the desktop in a gtk box using zenity.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

#Creator: Moltke
#Date: August 2020

#Summary
#Runs systemd-analyze at startup and displays a gtk message box using zenity with the output of the command
#place this script at «/usr/local/bin», make it executable and add it to your startup session, please refer to your
#desktop environment or windows manager's documentation to know how to do that, i.e in XFCE4 go to:
#startup & session, click on «startup applications» tab, next click the «add» button, browse to the script's
#location, select it and click on «close». Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating
#systemd-analyze command output in the center of your desktop.

#These variables define «width» and «height» values of the zenity gtk box, uncomment as per your convenience
#and/or add your own values if none of these work for you.

#Width: The width of the gtk box, default is 400
#width="100"
#width="200"
#width="300"
width="400"
#width="500"

#Height: The height of the gtk box, default is 160
#height="100"
#height="150"
height="160"
#height="200"
#height="250"
#height="300"
#height="350"
#height="400"

#The code
#here runs the code; once the desktop's started the script waits 5s before running
sleep 5 &
#after 5s has passed, systemd-analyze is run and its output is piped/redirected to zenity command which
#results in a gtk message box, showing how much time took your system to start displayed in the center of your screen.
#click «ok» to close.
systemd-analyze |zenity --text-info \
--title=" " \                 #set the title to whatever you want; Startup Time, Boot Time, etc, etc ...
--width="$width" \
--height="$height"

Copy/paste to a file and name it whatever you want, i.e. start_up_time.sh, make it executable
Code:
chmod +x start_up_time.sh
and move/copy it to /usr/local/bin.
Code:
sudo cp start_up_time.sh /usr/local/bin
  Go to: startup & session, select startup applications tab, next click the add button, browse to the script's location, select it and click on close. Now on every boot you should see the message box indicating systemd-analyze's command output in the center of your desktop. Like this:

Hi LL Forum!
I try to have a sound when emptying the trash and found this script: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=304391

I modified the command "mplayer" to "play" and "trash-empty.wav" file. It does work fine, however: it plays the sound file twice, I don't know why??? I know nothing about how to write scripts but I love the way how they work in Linux, well, if you know what to do...
Could any of you help me to fix this please???
Thank you!

  One year review LL 4.8
Posted by: Nanayaw - 03-14-2021, 11:54 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

Hello All

After one year moving from win 8 to LinuxLite I like to share a  short review.

!!!! LL 4.8 works for me perfect it is doing what it should do, beeing a reliable operating system !!!

I did not got any problems with anything also not with updates

Linux Lite is runing, runing ........

The only thing where I need help was to setup the wlan netwok connection to my scanner/printer
but with friendly useres at the forum it could be solved.

The support levels of tutorials and forum is perfect so that also somebody did not used Linux before
will get help easy.

Thanks Jerry and your Team for that GREAT Os  :004:

Greetings Nanayaw

Does LLOS 5.2 have one?  If not, could someone suggest one or could it be a future inclusion?  Looking for something that does individual files and folders with a Windows like GUI.

Thanks
