create a file
I am frustrated, but I am trying to learn how to use Ubuntu. For the last 2 hours I have fumbled with getting permission to save a file and get this program installed. I guess I am at the last step which is creating a file. Please help. I will paste the program to convert avit to mp4 to show you what I'm trying to do.
Just download "avi2mov" script, and save it in /usr/sbin/ directory (You can save it in any directory, but take care later, because i assume, you've saved it in /usr/sbin/ :) ).
After this, You need to set proper permissions, so use chmod:
chmod +x /usr/sbin/avi2mov
Finally, You need to add this converter to Service Menu. Create file
/usr/kde/
with Kate for example, and copy and paste this code:
[Desktop Action MediaConvertFile]
Exec=/usr/
Icon=reload
Name=Convert selected file to mov / mp4 ...
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=reload
ServiceTypes=
ExcludeServiceT
What is Kate?? How do I create "/usr/kde/
Any and all help is welcome. Please, I am very new and not very talented in this area.
Thank you so much.
