[01:47] i have a disc from the hospital with cat scan images, but lubuntu is not opening automagically -- any suggestions? [01:55] i have xubuntu restricted extras package installed, are there some other codecs/drivers i might need? [02:21] mikubuntu: could be, the disc has a "viewer" with it, and you are required to run it with whatever operating system they require you to run it with [02:22] when i had one of those, i was able to look around on the disc, manally, and open the images [02:22] you can try adding the restricted extras.. [02:22] !restricted [02:22] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:23] holstein it does have some files marked 'viewer,' but of course it wouldn't launch. i think i found the file with the images, but they won't open individually either [02:23] but, it may be that its not even what we consider "restricted", but rather, just flat out requiring the bundled application [02:23] mikubuntu: it wont matter what gets marked "viewer".. it'll be a matter of forcefully opening the files, other places [02:24] the labels, and suggested default applications wont have to be relevant [02:24] is there a command line i could use to find image files and force open? [02:25] mikubuntu: sure, but that wont help make things that are not designed to work, work [02:25] mikubuntu: you dont need the command line.. you can simply right click and force open in another application [02:26] any suggested app? [02:26] i know its not all that simple, straight forward, or constructive, but, keep in mind, lubuntu/ubuntu/linux is not doing anything to prevent those from openging [02:26] thats part of lubuntu standard? [02:26] mikubuntu: i will literally keep in mind that im promised, from the creators of the media, support for a completely different operating system, and just start trying to open in *everything" [02:27] mikubuntu: lubuntu's standard is completely open.. meaning, the creators of that disc are freely able to support it, but if they dont, you can have a challenging timne [02:28] what i typically do is drag the data in, off the disc.. then, i will start sifting through, looking for a specific file type.. an extension [02:29] .jpg, .png, for example... i will search around about how to open them with that specific information.. *not* searching lubuntu, but, ubuntu, and/or linux.. anything that works in ubuntu will happen in lubuntu [02:29] no need to narrow the scope unnecessarily [02:31] oh, well -- i give up. not feeling well enough to wrastle with it. i tried right clicking image file. got nothin. [02:31] sure [02:31] it'll likely require digging deeper into what the file type is.. the extension [02:31] gnna try one more thing -- image magick [02:32] mikubuntu: what file type are the media? [02:32] fpm [02:32] you can feel free to share one, and i'll look at it, and let you know how i open, if i can [02:32] don't know really [02:33] mikubuntu: dont know what? are they .fpm? [02:33] no, fpm was a slip of my keyboard hand ... lol [02:33] you can ask in #ubuntu, for example, since, opening .fpm files will be the same, since, lubuntu is uubuntu [02:33] don't know the file type [02:33] mikubuntu: you should be able to right click, in the file manager, and see details.. [02:36] holstein thx, but i'm giving up for now [12:59] Is it higher system requirements for 15.04 then 14.04.2 ? What to use xubuntu or lubuntu. I have 64bit cpu 1Gb ram.
