    On my Ubuntu Studio 13.10, I must use this:
    mv $HOME/.fonts.conf $HOME/.config/fontconfig/.fonts.conf

    (I tried:
    mv $HOME/.fonts.conf $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf, but it still warning :D)

    When I type
    mkdir -p $HOME/.config/fontconfig
    mv $HOME/.fonts.conf $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
    It says "mv: cannot stat '.fonts.conf': no such file or directory
    How can I fix this?
    I have been having problems since I updated Ubuntu

      I think you shouldn't be getting the warning since the file does not exits on your home directory.

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
