My question here is that before installing the multilib libraries, how does a 32 bit program differ from a 64 bit. For instance, and here I am showing my ignorance, but surely if I download a program source, shouldn't the resultant binary following compiling and building be a result of the platform it is built on, or does the source code include references to whether it is a 32 or 64 bit program.
Only asking as I have just gone to Slack13_x64, and was hoping that wine might build as a 64bit program. Or, am I stuck with having to install the multilib libs?
i'm converting from w7 and before doing so made up a list of functions i wanted to be capable of doing in opensuse.i have most of them complete but saved the ones that gave me some problems or simply perplexed me until last.i managed to figure out ps3 media server, but still need to know how to automount my external usb drive upon boot.i have my vnc needs met with x11vnc and no probs there.
but what i'm not sure how to do is to synchronize my files between my three computers as well as how to backup my files to an offsite file service (perhaps datastorageunit). i've considered just using dropbox, which from what i've read will backup to offsite ( i used mozy on w7) as well as sync my files across my lan (goodsync handled my syncing). however, i really dont want to pay $10/mo. for 50gb of storage with dropbox when datastorageunit is only $3/mo for 100gb. datastorage unit says that rsync can be used however, even with the gui (grsync) installed i still couldn't make much head way. id rather not take the lazy/pricier way out with dropbox, but instead learn how to use grsync.
I'm almost positive I've seen a program that runs on Ubuntu that can convert PDF files to HTML but I can't remember where I saw it and I have no idea what the name of it was
It would also be great if I could find a program that can convert PDFs to .odt or .doc or another format that works well with [URL] but thats not something I need right now
i have recently learned how to make backups of my psp games but for some reason they won't play them in iso format only cso (not suprisingly since everyone encourages the use of this format) is there a program out there thats easy to use, can someone show me how to use it i downloaded and installed ciso but haven't figured out what makes it tick
I wrote a bash script a few months ago and now I want to convert it to a C program. However, i used awk a lot in my script, and I don't know what to use in place of awk. The awk calls are simple, like string splitting and math, but I don't know of any replacement for the string splitting function. Are there any C libraries that include some sort of string splitting function?
I have many video files that I'm trying to convert from *** to .mp4..Currently I'm using Handbrake which does a good job but getting it started is very tedious. In Handbrake I need to confirm and add to queue all of the files. When there are over 200 files at a time it takes way too long. If there is a way to not confirm all of the files please let me know.What program can I use to just add a folder and have it automatically add all of the files to my queue?
I used dvgrab to pull the video off of my Cannon HV30 HDV camcorder. Now I have a bunch of 5 minute clips at about a gig each. I need to edit these together and use a better file type. What should I convert to, and what program should I use for encoding and editing?
I am using ubuntu 10.10 with gnome desktop on a desktop computer (pentium 4 cpu with 1 Gb memory), and when I use OpenOffice Impress, convert opens up and uses most of my cpu power. Even worse, after closing OpenOffice and all instances of nautilus, convert stays in memory and keeps using most of my cpu power (between 30 and 75 %, acccording to system monitor.Is it normal ? How could I set up my computer to limit convert cpu usage, and to unload from memory after being used.
I've read the threads here and on other forums and searched the web but haven't found a program to fit my desires.
I want to take some existing C source code that is both undocumented and uncommented (definitely not mine)and convert it into a flowchart or other format that is more easily understood.
I've run across many programs of this type for winblows but I don't want that OS on my system regardless of price!
I have a number of uncompressed audio files recorded off of an analog (POTS) telephone line of fax transmissions. Is there a Linux utility or library I could use to convert these files into images of the fax they contain? I'm not looking to send/receive a fax via a modem, but just to "replay" the communications tones and parse out the fax message.I'm guessing this may not be possible due to duplex issues and not knowing which end of the conversation is sending what,but thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew of something.

I have a copy of Win 7 that's saved on a disc as a UDF directory (yes, it's legal!). I need to convert the UDF to a bootable iso. Does anyone know how to do that?
For whatever reason, XBMC refuses to play the audio. Xine plays the audio but with a distressing static noise. MPlayer and Kaffeine play the files fine. The bottom line is XBMC and Xine seem to dislike pcm_u8 audio, or the way the audio is streamed with the video.I also cannot fast-forward the movies with some players, such as MPlayer or SMPlayer.
I haven't found whether I can select a different format with the camera, but to avoid player problems I'd like to convert the videos. My primary focus is playing in XBMC and Xine because I have both apps configured to be controlled with a remote control. What is the most compatible format to convert? This is with 12.2 or 13.0. I have ffmpeg, mplayer, and mencoder installed and probably all or most codecs I could use.
Modify the mass-convert.sh script to include the entire L and N series (seems a likely place to for the missing dependency to reside) then installpkg the resulting glut of packages.
I want to set up a special user, when this user login in locally or remotely, a special program will get run for him. ter this program exist normally or not, the telnet connection should close

in LQ, what the 'g' in names like gzip, gawk means, becauseassumed the incorrect meaning.Cf. zip, awk. I have now forgotten. An easy answer would be: GNU. Perhaps it's the correct one
I have a custom program that has been running on Slackware since about 2004. It was running fine on Slackware 13.0, but an upgrade (following the procedure in UPGRADE.TXT) to 13.1 causes the program to segfault on a read/write op to the serial port (details here).
what might have changed between 13.0 and 13.1 that might affect serial port programming? I've been through CHANGES_AND_HINTS but nothing is jumping out at me.
