I'd like to convert some of my backed up ripped DVDs to an .avi with separate subtitle file. I have been looking at MEncoder but I can't get my head around the commands or how multiple .VOB files become a singular .avi file.
View 2 RepliesI am trying out conky for the first time and rather enjoying it. I have a small frustration though. I have a dual head setup and would like to have identical conky's showing on both monitors. I have tried creating two .conkyrc's (.conkyrc1 & .conkyrc2) and then using:-
Code:
$ conky -c config1
$ conky -c config2
to launch them, this results in only one of the two conky's displaying. I did at first think that maybe they were on top of eachother, but one conkyrc is set bottom_left, the other bottom_right so they should not be right??
When I try to run them as above terminal shows:-
Code:
gregg@burt:~$ conky -c config1
Conky: invalid configuration file 'config1'
Conky: invalid num arg for top. Must be between 1 and 10.

I'm getting used to gnome3 one thing still bugs me- why when I switch workspaces on my multiple monitor machine does only the primary monitor change to a different workspace? The secondary monitor (my laptop screen) shows all open windows I put on it plus it's not even shown in the workspace list.

So what i want is, for a client there is just one point of entry (master/head node) to ssh into, it evaluates the load on the slave nodes connected on to internal network and routes the ssh session, kind of a ssh load balancer. what open source solution i can apply for my problem?

I am in the process of coverting some video files to motion jpeg (Wii) files with ffmpeg (great program by the way). I have been successful and so the majority of my work is over. My question is simple (I think) but complex to me so... here it goes. Is there a way on one command line to "batch" convert 8 or 9 files together instead of one by one. I just don't know what to put on the command line. I took one UNIX class a long time ago and the terms pipe and such come to mind... but I forget. Any takers? That was I can write what I want the computer to do in the morning and just come back after work and voila...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a application launcher (type:terminal) to replace the index.php on my apache server (/var/www/) with the index I keep updated on my desktop.
This is the exact script I'm using on the launcher:
My idea was the launcher would delete the current file at /var/www/, and then copy the file on /home/andre/Desktop.
But its not behaving properly, it is deleting both the file in my /var/www/ AND my desktop.
With xterm, I can do the following, and the scripts are executed sequentially in a single xterm: xterm -e 'script1.sh;script2.sh' But with gnome-terminal, when I do: gnome-terminal -e script1.sh;script2.sh It runs them in parallel in 2 different terminals. I've tried a few combinations of ", and ', around the scrips, but no difference.

In a script I am writing I am trying to add logic so that the script can figure out if a remote server uses rpm or dpkg and then run the appropriate command to print a list of installed packages. This works locally, but I need to get it to work through SSH and I have no idea how to do that. The relevant portion of the script is below. It would also be nice to find a way to not need the full path to the executables but I'm not real concerned about that.So anyone know how to make this code work via SSH?

I've just performed a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.3. System specs include GA-MA790X-DS4, PhenomII X4 940 AM2+, Sapphire RadeonHD 3670, two monitors. What I'm trying to accomplish is to set up my KDE desktop to (as it did under 11.2) use a multi-desktop multi-output non-cloned setup, so that I can use my two monitors side by side and maximize windows in either one respectively, etc.
So here I am with my newly installed system. Obviously I can't use fglrx, as it doesn't yet support the 2.6.34 kernel, so amdcccle is right out. SaX2, I notice, is gone. I have tried using KDE's built-in configuration tools, but the dual-head setup doesn't persist between logins. Strangely, windows that were open on the second monitor do vanish off-screen, but the monitors return to their overlapped positions so it's useless. Monitor 2 doesn't even retain its resolution setting. As one does, I decided I'd manually edit the X configuration file. SHOCK HORROR! No xorg.conf So what I'm driving at is this: How oh how do I configure my X.org to remember that it has two, quite different, monitors under openSUSE 11.3 ? Sorry if this post is hard to follow, I got very little sleep while trying to sort out the myriad problems I caused myself in upgrading.

Why is it telling me that my hard drive cylinder head count isn't supported by bios when I've been using this hard drive with this bios for over a year? I mean Linux is booting off the hard drive this is supposedly unsorted apparently and managing telling me is unsupported... so it can't be that unsupported now can it? Sounds more like linux trying to blame bios for linux's problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up my menu.lst for GRUB Legacy (downgraded from GRUB2 in 9.10) and I'm just having difficulty getting my head around converting the /dev/sda1, sda2 etc to hd(0,0), (0,1).
My partitions are as follows:
sda1 = Windows XP (ntfs primary partition)
sda2 = Windows Vista (ntfs primary partition)
sda3 = Linux boot (small ext2 primary partition)
sda4 = extended partition
sda5 = Windows XP second different installation (ntfs logical partition)
sda6 = Ubuntu 9.10 root (ext3 logical partition)
sda7 = linux-swap (swap logical partition)
As I said, I am trying to set these up in GRUB, but cannot work out what all the hd(0,x) equivalents are. I *thought* it was just a case of subtracting 1 from the sdax number, but it doesn't appear to be that way.
I would like to be able to change the Head Line / Title to include the working "fixed, solved" or some thing similar, in bright green ot red, maybe blue
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a GeForce 8400 GS card and I run two monitors. I use Xinerama (don't recall now why but I think XrandR didn't work for me) and nvidia. I would like three monitors now and I see here[URL].... My onboard video is disabled by the mobo if I use a video card [URL]... so it seems I need a new video card.
Should I get another GeForce 8400 GS for $40 from Amazon? I suppose the only other idea would be to get a 3-head card but those seem a lot more expensive.
I'm building another desktop. This is not a gaming system (though some video does cross my path), it's primary focus is as an application development platform. The thing is based on a SuperMicro two CPU motherboard with a couple intel multi-cores, 16GB RAM, a hardware RAID, and CentOS 5.6 (64bit). To this mix I would like to add a solid dual-head graphics card. Something that will support a couple HP LP2465 monitors (not new but functioning well). Speed of rendering is not my biggest concern, stability and "real estate" (the monitors are 1920x1200 and I want all of it).
I've looked a little at the Matrox items and started researching nVidia, but would like to hear opinions from those "in the know".The motherboard, though a solid performer, may have just made this trip unnecessary. It has a quirk that I hadn't considered before. It has several PCI-X slots (64-bit @ 133MHz) but only one "PCI-Express 1 (x8) on a (x16) slot". Does that seem a little strange to anyone else? Not that there is just one PCI-E but that it will fit a x16 board but will only support x8 connections...
