I realized I can watch DVDs on my laptop. I tried the first DVD that I had tried it on, and it didn't work. I am thinking this may be something to do with region codes. First of all, how do I see which region code I am currently on? Secondly, how do I reset the region code? Is there any way to use multiple region codes at once?

They've reduced the size of the touchpad on the newer versions of this model, but I'm wondering is it possible to hack it somehow so the outer perimeter (say 1cm) is 'dead'?
Most configuration software available is of no use to me since I think it's not a synaptics mouse. (I don't have multitouch - that's why I think this)
This is really frustrating. Does anyone know how I can do this?

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.

Is there anyway I can silence all kernel messages at bootup?
This is what I have in /etc/default/grub and it's not working to silence it.

I 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 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'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
- HW: Starling Netbook (star3)
Is there a way to get DVD region code from command line (linux/ubuntu 9.10)? I want to script this action and store the region code (and other data about DVD) in a log.
I am looking for the info about media, not the drive.
I was looking for a method of allocating memories on Linux which similar VirtualAlloc on Windows.Requirements are:
1. Size of memories block to allocate is 2^16.
2. Address of memories block is larger than 0x0000ffff
3. Address of memories block must have last 16 bits are zero.
On Windows because lower limit of application address (lpMinimumApplicationAddress) we have (2) obvious right. From (1), (2) and system rules we also achieved (3).
Having 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 some feeling that its because the program has no access to the memory containing the shellcode (May be???)..
i have two doubts
1) i downloaded the latest linux kernel in hope that i will find the codes for the operating system the os but i cant locate any.so can any0ne tell me from where can i find what i am looking for?
2) c language used in the package i downloaded is though very close to the c i studied but there are places where it becomes tough for to comprehend the real significance of the lines. eg i never knew rhere is Display() a pre-defined function but i saw it somewhere as predefined.
I have a simple testing program like this:
/*The Parallel Hello World Program*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>

My program is, I can't compile this program using gcc, and I can't find something like pgcc in ubuntu. How should I compile this program? After compiling, what should I do to run this program? Can I use something like mpirun to run it? I want to try to use both cores of my computer to run it and make it shows Node 1 also besides Node0.
