Hopefully it doesnt take too long to confirm, but I just sent 0.00356155 BTC to your account.

Thanks again for your help!!

Let me know if you have any issues.

Well, I installed the LTS, and everything works perfectly.  I have to say, I feel a bit stupid.  In any event, a deal is a deal, so I will pay you.  Please provide the BTC address you would like me to send the funds to.

Thank you very much for your help.  Initially I had installed the LTS, but I couldnt get WiFi to work.  I will try your suggestion and perhaps I'll just need to install the proper wifi driver at that time.  Thanks again,  I will update you when I get the LTS installed.

I appreciate the effort, but I want to continue using Ubuntu.  Also - I have googled looking for drivers.  My inability to find a solution is what led me here, to offer money to someone to directly provide assistance. 

I have a dell xps 13 9360 and I installed Ubuntu 17.04. 

Everything works and is fine as best as I can tell, but booting up takes nearly 2 full minutes.

If I run dmesg everything seems to be working well until we get to this point:



Please check my posting history.  I have paid for computer or technical help multiple times.  If you fix this, I will definitely pay you.  As you can imagine, having a 2 minute boot time is quite annoying.

0.025002 BTC has been sent to ChasingCars - thanks for your help.

Arwin, I appreciate the help, but in the OP I specifically said I wanted to use the command line. 

Nevermind, I had *.JPG, but all of my files are .jpg (lowercase).

Now it works.

Chasing cars - please provide your address.

Thanks.

That runs fine, but it doesnt actually change the pictures.  They are still the same size.


To the later two posters, I dont want to use imagemagik and I don't want to use the GIMP gui.  I want to do this using GIMP from the command line.

Thanks to both of you, but I still get the same error.



and you can see I do have images in the directory:


Also - post your address so I can pay.

I am running ubuntu.  I have a directory with many jpgs in it, they are all the same size.  I want to resize all of them to 500 x 500 pixels.

I want to use GIMP command line functions. 

The files are in  /pics

I am trying:


The error I get is:


Surely I am doing something stupid and I am willing to pay someone 0.025BTC to help me, I've already wasted too much time on this. 

Check my posting history, I have paid many rewards in the past for help like this.

Looks a lot like many of the Wolfram Automaton patterns, like this one:

Thanks - that worked.  You get the BTC, please let me know where I should send it. 

I must say this was really frustrating.   What is the difference between global parameters and inline parameters? 

Yes, I've had it much higher, over 10000k - I just happened to pick 500 when I did the test for purpose of screenshot.  In all cases, it still defaults back to 25 fps.

See screenshot below.  I specify that I want 30 fps, but it actually makes the video at 25fps.   I don't know how else to pass the framerate parameters.  I WILL pay you.  Check my posting history - I have paid off several similar bounties in the past.  Its all I use this forum for.

Just sent 0.02114743 BTC in the transaction that can be found at https://blockchain.info/tx/cd53d2e4712e4fc892a2f1fdc24730e63f5ab1566215956a9b3ed8bd78b937a6

Thanks again, and enjoy the coins.

Thanks for the help.  You aren't kidding about


That takes a long time.  I had to do it three times, because the first time I did it, I passed the wrong path to configure, and the second time I did it, it nearly completed before determining that I didnt have zip installed.  Anyway, it works now.  Thanks a bunch.

Also, please verify that the BTC address in your sig is appropriate to send payment.  

I have a little c++ hobby project I am working on in which I used the "thread" class that is part of c++11.  Apparently, GCC (G++) doesnt support these new features before version 4.8.1.  On google compute engine the disk image I like to use is the debian-7-weezy, and it uses a 4.7 version of GCC.  I spent and hour or two today trying to compile 4.8.1 from scratch, but to no avail. 

If you can walk me through how to get 4.8.1 compiled and installed on there I will send you 0.02BTC.  If you look at my previous posting history, it is almost exclusively me asking computer questions and then paying people for helping me.  I have paid 3 similar bountys in the past.  I will pay you if you successfully help me.

I found the issue here, the "-b xxx" portion needs to be after the -i portion.  I got it to work.

Ok - I was able to get it to work, thanks for your help.  This was the first bash scripting I have ever done.  I am pretty capable at scripting in other contexts, just had no idea how it worked from the terminal.  Thanks for your help.  The only part that didnt work was the " *.jpg " part in:


I had to go back to but change all my file names to 000.jpg, 001.jpg, etc.  Do you know any way to make it work from 0.jpg to 555.jpg (for instance)?

Also, the quality seems a bit low.  I see in the manual that 200kbps is the default quality, and I notice that if I leave -b 1800 off the file looks the same as when I include it and its also the same file size, so I think some formatting in that line is being done wrong, because we certainly arent getting good quality. 

Thanks for your help, I have sent you an additional 0.314159 BTC and that should complete our transaction, thanks for your help.

Thank you for your very detailed reply.  I don't have time right now to work on this issue, but I will send you 2.7 of the 3 promised BTC.  In 48 hours I will have time to work on this issue and if I can get it to work I will send you the rest, otherwise I will ask some more questions.   Thanks again! 

I have sent 2.71828 BTC to 1Q3DhCvgcgMKtQJGQMPZGLZaueWaTps7wh

Thanks again!
