I'm using Ubuntu server 9.10 with 2 NICS (Internet-router-eth0, eth1-LAN). I use iptables to generate rules for 20 computers, but when I execute the script, ALL TRAFFIC DROPS, including the server. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#eth0 192.168.0.50 - connected to Internet
#eth1 192.168.1.51 - connected to LAN
#192.168.1.52 - workstation1
#set default policies
iptables -P INPUT DROP
[Code]...
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -s 192.168.1.52 -j ACCEPT. The reason I'm doing this is, I just want to open necessary ports in the server and restrict LAN usage.
I am trying to set up a LAN with some basic file and printer sharing, as well as either a VPN or FTP server. I am setting up a server for an office with about 4 computers and one remote computer at a home office. I would like the server to back up a selected group of folders on all of the computers as well as share some printers between them all as well. If all of the other computers are windows computers will Ubuntu work for something like this? I would also like to host a website and e-mail server as well if the server is not loaded down too much. I know I can get windows server to work, but I would like to use something else if possible.

I have generated some .eps figure which I needed to show one by one. I converted them using convert file.eps file.jpg but the generated files were kind of blurred (not much, but they are not of the same quality as the .eps files) Is there anything to do to get a good conversion? Also, which is better, is/are there any image viewer package that would help show the .eps files as .jpg files? I have tried, gthumb, gqview, f-spot, image magic (display).

It seems more and more people are encoding with the MKV container on bit torrent these days, and a lot of the shows I'm watching are starting to release almost exclusively with .mkv formatted videos. This is not a problem if I want to watch the shows on my computer but I've become accustomed to watching them on my PlayStation3 using my thumb drive. It seems the offical documentation for the PS3 includes a list of supported codecs [URL], but when I use FFMPEG to convert with libxvid video and aac audio in the MP4 container my PS3 says the output video is not supported. I've also tried most combinations of libxvid, libx264, mpeg4 for -vcodec and aac, libmp3lame for -acodec in several different container formats but nothing seems to work. I have found one option that always works:
Code:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mkv -sameq -ac 2 outputfile.mpeg
I don't like doing it this way, however, as the output file is twice the size and the audio quality is terrible. If I don't reduce the audio channels to only two using -ac 2 FFMPEG throws an error (apparently MKV audio supports 6 channels). And preserving the video quality in MPEG video using -sameq produces too a large file (and I prefer to keep my files as lossless as possible). Ideally I want to save the files on an external HD I have but if a single episode of a show is 1.5 GB it's not very pratical.
Anyway, the PS3 docs say it supports h264 and xvid with aac audio, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone sucessfully used FFMPEG to convert an MKV to MP4 for use on a PS3?
I've been trying out a few scripts (I hacked one myself) to convert HD MKV files to MP4 containers. Specifically, the main issue I'm trying to solve is converting DTS -> AAC audio. I noticed the scripts I used before used ffmpeg. I tried NeroAacEnc and found the audio quality is much better. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with MP4Box accepting the audio NeroAacEnc creates. I also hit one other issue and that is making sure HxW size of video is in multiples of 16. I was trying to use ffmpeg pad filter for that but couldn't figure it out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 2003 I converted over 25000 of invalid WAV files to MP3 ones using the sequence of commands:sox file.wav file.cdr lame file.cdr file.mp3.I used that intermediate method because it wasn't possible to convert most of these WAV files using lame only. The command lame file.wav file.mp3 displayed in such cases the message:Code: Unsupported data format: 0x0002.Now I tried to convert the same WAV files using the same method but lame doesn't recognize CDR audio format and complains:
Now I wonder how to achieve the same result enabling CDR audio format reading in lame because I prefer the second method. Unfortunately I haven't idea how to enable that during the configuration of the sources of lame. Its documentation doesn't mention about such switch.
I'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 am Ubuntu user, having only recently left the stinking, bloated corpse that is Windows ($225 for an upgrade to Win7 is just obscene). I have a huge library of Mp3's, which I have managed to enable support for on Ubuntu, and have installed Amarok, as I didn't think much of rythmbox.
So far so good, but I still need a program to rip/convert the rest of my CD's, and to convert lossless files. I'm looking for a CD ripper with similar functionality to EAC (Exact Audio Copy). One aspect I am looking for is the ability to manually change the Mp3 encoder used by the program. I am partial to the lame 3.98 encoder, and would like to keep using it. If the program already uses this encoder (or a close version), then that's fine and no need for the ability to manually change the encoder.
Having downloaded alien for the first time, and attempted to use it to convert an rpm file to a deb file (specifically asymptote located at [URL]), instead I found that it failed to do so. I've searched on google for a long while, and found that while this appears to be a problem encountered by multiple people, but there are no workarounds posted anywhere. Here is the error message that I am getting:
Unpacking of 'asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm' failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 153.
I've tried running the following variants of commands and all fail with the same error:
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
sudo alien -d asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
sudo alien -k asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm
The errors reported by others are on a variety of packages, so it seems to me that it is an bug with alien itself and not with the package, but that is only a guess.
And related to this, Alien is version 8.69, perl 5.8.8 and ubuntu is 8.04.
So I typically use cat to put my avi files together.. but today I figure lets see about ripping over so I can watch on my Droid.
As nobody has a xvid or vlc player on the droid (yet.. coders are doing alot for Android ya know) I will have to convert the video down and change the format.. So.. can anybody tell me a mencoder command line directive to get as close to this as possible (I found ipod settings leave the actual video lacking).

I'm trying to convert the encoding of multiple files in a directory and I try to do it as follows.
Code:
#/bin/bash
find . -type f -name *.txt -exec iconv -f GBK -t utf-8 "{}" -o "{}.utf8" ;
find . -type f -name *.utf8 -exec mv -f "{}" `echo "{}" | sed 's/.utf8//'` ;
The first command goes well by generating utf8 files from all txt files, but the second command fails with error message. Could someone enlighten me about the mistake in the command and share a workable solution?
or any conversion I suppose. My question is simple: How do I use this command: mplayer -ao pcm *.m4a -ao pcm:file="*.mp3" to convert whole directories and place the converted tracks into another directory. The way it's listed above it will convert all songs with a .mp4 extension into a single file with a .mp3 extension. Which of course, is not what I want, but I know of no other way to use this command.
