View 1 RepliesI have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the

I was using avidemux but when I went to save it again it said I needed the start point to be a keyframe. It allowed me to save it as an avi, but the color was distorted. I am fine with using avidemux if I can get around this keyframe problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking to set up a separate /home partition and am getting somewhat confused. On an old system I practised resizing the partitions and feel reasonably confident in the mechanics.
Currently my drive is /dev/sda1 an ext4 file system with a mount point of / ;
/dev/sda2 and extended partition and /dev/sda5 a linux swap.
I propose to reduce the sda1 to about 10GiB for Karmic and allocate the bulk of the remainder to /home. It is this point that I start to have difficulty. I have seen screen shots which show a mount point of /home and for the life of me I have been unable so far to see how this is created. This has been further confused when looking at the subject in my latest copy of Linux Format (132) where it shows an example where dev/sda1 if NTFS, sda2 as ext3 and a mount point of /home, sda3 as ext4 and mount point of / finally sda4 being a Linux swap.
I wish at the end of the day to have Karmic as my OS with a separate /home partition with the view that once Lucid has settled down that I adopt it.
What I would like to know is how having reduced sda1 do I proceed. As sda1 is an ext4 file system should the /home be also ext4 or like the example in the magazine of ext3? How is the mount point for /home named? Finally should I attempt to have /dev/sda number sequentially or let things stick as at present I imagine that if I delete the current extended and swap before reducing the /dev/sda1 then that should get things to run in sequence.
I intend to use a live DVD to let me work with the partitions as this should be safer than messing about with my current partitions when mounted.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to take an existing ISO, like Xubuntu 10.10, and edit it before I install it. For instance, I don't need Orage, most of the games, the file sharing apps, etc., but do want Ubuntu Tweak, Audacious, Audacity, etc. Is it possible to do this from a GUI in a reasonably straightforward manner?I've played around with remastersys and ISO Master. The former apparently doesn't do what I want, since it only works on the distro I already have installed, and I can't figure out how to get the latter to work. The instructions on the community documentation involve more command line work than I feel comfortable with, plus you can't edit a 32-bit iso on a 64-bit machine, and I need to be able do to that. I want to set up the distro to run on my 32-bit netbook.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI edited my /etc/sudoers file the other day to add timestamp_timeout=0 to cause sudo to ask for a password every time. I used visudo in sudo mode and when it came to saving it appeared to want to save the file as sudoers.tmp so I edited this to sudoers. Anyway some how may edit failed. I booted up into terminal and reedited and somehow lost all access to the sudo mode. I think the file ended up with the wrong permissions.
After a fresh install I don't want to mess this up again. So please, please tell me how to save it. Should I save as sudoers.tmp or sudoers? I presume a could have made a typo, but am assuming not. I don't want to reinstall ubuntu and all the packages again.
I have installed Sabayon 5.4 on my laptop besides Ubuntu 10.10. During installation of Sabayon I did not opt for a bootloader as I did not want to disturb the already existing Grub2 on MBR from my Ubuntu installation.After successful installation of Sabayon, I booted into Ubuntu and updated the Grub which detected Sabayon correctly. Then I rebooted and tried to boot into Sabayon but I could not do so. The booting process stopped with the following error -
Code:
Activating mdev
Detected real-root as md device. Setting up device node
Scanning for Volume Groups
[code]....
So evidently, Grub has wrongly taken the values of root as /dev/md0 and swap as /dev/sda2.I again went back to Grub2 screen edited the Sabayon entry by replacing /dev/md0- with /dev/sda4 and swap:/dev/sda2 with swap:/dev/sda8 and pressed Ctrl+x. Now I was able to boot into Sabayon. how do I make these changes permanent. Which files should I edit so that Grub correctly read root as /dev/sda4 and swap as /dev/sda8?

I"m not that savvy w/ video at all and need something very simplistic.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to add a watermark and a credits image to all of my old videos. i downloaded them off videos so they are all flv (h.264?). is there some software that will allow me do simple edits in batches? i know a little bit of python and tried looking at some of the library but they all seem like overkill (and way above my head). so is there a solution besides getting some software and going through all my videos and doing it manually?
they are all mostly the same length, but it would be nice to specify a relative position for my credits. e.g. show a static image for 10 seconds when the video is at 95%
i tried kdenlive but it conflicts with pidgin and rhytmbox

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a quicktime .mov movie file in iMovie on a Mac (that is not available anymore) and I want to 1) play & 2) edit the movie. I'd be happy to use a different format if I can figure out how to change it. Has anyone else done this?
Edit: If you skip down to post #16 you'll see I discovered it actually isn't a matter of editing a .mov file, but it turns out I don't have a properly exported quicktime .mov file. Instead I have (I'm not sure but I think its iMovie ver. 4.) 1) an .iMovieProj text file that lists the cuts by frame in and frame out, 2) an .mov file that isn't the complete file I thought it was and 3) a folder of all the clips that are in Apple's Quicktime DV format. In this thread people taught me about transcoding from the Apple's Quicktime DV format to liberated formats easier to work with. Given this knowledge and since I have a list of the cuts I'm asking if people could recommend a Linux video editor that would be easy to enter the tedious frame in, frame out info so I could reassemble the video.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis started a while back... but I'm not sure when. Whenever I'm editing one of my PHP files it takes 1+ seconds for it to write the letter I type. I tried it on HTML and it's perfectly fine. I tried going to .gconf/apps and deleting the gedit-2 file, but it didn't help. And I tried disabling the File Browser Pane plugin and it did nothing. And one more thing, it might just be some PHP files, because about half of mine are really slow like that, but the other half is perfectly fine.

I've been transferring a bunch of VHS and old camcorder tapes to video files. I've noticed that some of these videos need color correction or sharpening, etc. Most of the linux video editing software out there is just for splicing videos together.Does Linux have any professional grade video editing software? Is there anyway for me to color correct some of these videos using Linux? I've been searching forums trying to find an answer. Anyone have an recommendations?If not, what are some good Windows based alternatives? I can always run an alternative in a Windows VM.
