I have many DVDs that I purchased in Europe (Region 2) and I would like to copy them and change the region for easier reading here in North America (Region 1). In an ideal world, region 0 would be even better.k9copy works fine as far as copying, but the region is kept. I haven't found any setting in k9copy to change the region - is there one? If not, any other application that can do it?
View 9 RepliesCentOS 5.4 install, likewise open standard install (For active directory authentication).I have a license service which requires a license.txt be in the users home directory.The group owner for license.txt must be the same as the license service. Whenever a new domain user logs in, it creates the all the appropriate files but the group owner for license.txt is the users domain group. My current workaround seems like more effort than it's worth, is there another way to get this process solved easier/more secure?
- copy the license.txt into /etc/skel
- created a script to check for the presence of license.txt, check it's permissions and change them if necessary
- gave the domain's group sudo [nopasswd] access to the script (the script is not writable)
- execute the script in /etc/bashrc
Some time back using this computer a SucKit rootkit was found. Having dd urandomed the drive, flattened CMOS battery, flashed BIOS, run Knoppix live CD 6.1,using no flat pack battery (laptop), and memtested the RAM, I am still having problems with what I suspect is a javascript file that tries to reload the rootkit from? firmware. I suspect the firmware as everything else should have eradicated it??
Also it or a hacker via a backdoor then corrupts the drivers so devices malfunction. Windows security programs and rootkit detectors don't seem to pick it up. Fresh install of Windows or linux after the above still show this problem, though internet not used. The person who admitted rootkitting this machine is capable of writing java programs or using javascripts to do all this.
When viewed using Ubuntu 8.4 files and dates on a Windows partition appear normal both in file manager and terminal. However booting using Knoppix CD these files are all green, and I cannot change their permissions, even as root. ie: everything is green including text files etc. If I copy them to a linux partition, I can change their permissions and make them nonexecutable and nonwritable. Also on the Windows FAT32 partition the . directory has the date 1 Jan 1970.
If I disable any green files, I can shutdown and reboot cleanly. If I don't I start having problems shutting down [/usr/sbin/init ?] And always these follow a pattern:
Can't remember details as I have now corralled the beast but error messages relating to:
nfs-server
inet.d/statd
are the start of these.
My laptop is having issues with DVD's. I can play region free DVD's (they were gifts), but I can't play any of my legit Region 1 DVD's? I downloaded the codecs from the software center but for whatever reason, They don't work, both Mplayer and Movie player just give me error messages when I load the disks. I know the disks are being read, their name pops up and everything, but I guess it just cant read the files.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know I can use things like regionset and VLC to bypass region encoding (which I already do), I was really wondering if you can actually purchase a drive that is "region free" without having to apply hacks/ patches/ voodoo etc.I've done the "google thing" and all I come up with is hacks while using windows, I'd really like to get a drive that is completely region free.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving issues getting my external dvd drive to play nice with 10.10. The usual horses have been beaten thoroughly.
1.) I've installed Medibuntu
2.) I've grabbed libdvdcss2, libdvdread, run the install script, etc., etc.
3.) I've attempted to check the region, with no avail.
When I try a regionset, it offers the following complaint:
ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"! Please ensure there is a readable CD or DVD in the drive.
4.) The drive and disc(s) are all operational, as they work on different partitions and/or machines fine.
VLC/Totem will, briefly, open the menu for a given DVD. The menu video will briefly play, sputter, then die, which sounds like a region issue.
Any idea why the regionset isn't working? Perhaps it's not mounting right?

i have spent the last three-ish days converting a file to avi (took so long because of audio problems) and have it perfect. i need to copy it to another computer that has micro$oft windows on it, and when i access the flash drive it doesnt recognize the file as video. and i cant copy to the local hdd. im probably missing something obvious, but i searched and got nothing. i used avidemux (2.5 i think) to convert it. it plays alright on ubuntu, and it is ok on the flash drive, but when windows sees it, it isnt recognized as video.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have multiple OpenSuSE 11.2 systems. With some files being on one system I would like to have another computer to have the files as well. Is there a way to have the files copied to the other system automatically? FTP is one way but it is too cumbersome. I am thinking of something like disk or directory mirroring. Does OpenSuSE have something like that?
If it was real time mirroring that would be better. I.e if a write to one file on one system is done, then this would be done on the other system with the same directory/file.
My old system disk almost failed me. I dd_rescued the disk onto a new one (_don't_ use dd_rhelp, that one took days and seemed to forget what it had scanned more than once). The condition of the disk was not very good. So naturally I expected the subsequent fsck.ext3 to bomb half of the new disk. But obviously only a few inodes were affected and I lost only about 10 files completely (mostly on the root partition and not the home partition - yeay!).
However, I then ran a badblocks and put all the bad blocks into a file. I could use this to run fsck but I fear that
1. It could undo or even redo worse than what the first fsck run did, and
2. giving the list of bad blocks, fsck might on the one hand rescue/flag damaged files (which is what I want), but I don't want it to flag the bad blocks on the new disk as well (they are not bad blocks anymore, just copies of bad blocks).
So, how can I single out problematic files using my list of bad blocks (which I can then look at one by one if they could be rescued) without flagging the supposedly bad blocks on the new disk.

I'm using Mac as a main machine and Ubuntu Netbook as a secondary. Although synergy gives me a good control over Netbook when it works without external monitor, but when I activate VGA monitor, I can only move around the limited region (details are below).
Phenomenon: Cursor can move in the external monitor's screen. No way to move cursor into the netbook's screen via synergy (it's possible from local touchpad/mouse) In the external monitor's screen, curosor moves only within limited region, which I'm guessing is as large as the size of netbook's screen.
Configuration: Use dual screens (uncheck "Same image in all monitors" in the tool "Monitor" on Ubuntu)
Env:
- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition
