Beautiful and simple.

Simply ask it to cut my mpg into halves, thirds or whatever... BUT... some of the videos are from my camera and in avi format.

The avisplit tutorials on the net achieve the video split, but the audio is choppy now. I then read that I need to use 'tcprobe' which i attempt to do, but its too advanced for my terminal skills, and now hours later, my head hurts and I'm starting to get the rage again (Urge to kill rising).

Relief comes when I find an avi program with a GUI: Avidemux, (Urge to kill falling...) but again the sound comes out horrible. (Urge to kill rising....)

What am I missing? ]]> MentalOxide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318536 <![CDATA[[gnome] Replace aMSN Notifications]]> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318535&goto=newpost Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:08:33 GMT Is there any way to replace aMSN's sound notifications with new Gnome graphical notification system?

Now, I am ready to experiment with the Ubuntu Server distro. Especially in integrating it as a Windows Domain Server.

Would it be possible to use a wireless pc card (wireless g, n, etc) as the server's main network interface. The goal here is to have a sort of remote server in my home.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have tracks recorded from an LP via Audacity and saved as WAVE files. Various music player programs will import them but without the "metadata" so I have to add that separately. Then I try burning a CD but when I try to play it on my hi fi it says DISC ERROR.
I am now trying K3B but cannot find ANY instructions on how to use it.
Forum searches do not seem to have any basic "How to..." info.

Wallpaper plugin seems to be not working on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
I unchecked gconf-editor --> nautilus --> preferences --> show_desktop anyway I don't use icons on desktop have my awn configured with stack
even then wallpaper plugin ain't affecting my background images.

after upgrading 9.04 -> 9.10, my USB sticks that worked flawlessly in 9.04 ceased working. While in 9.04 I could easily mount them using the icon appearing on the desktop as soon as the stick was plugged in, in 9.10 there is just an error message popping up that the device can't be mounted, and in dmesg I see this error:

[ 152.618697] FAT: IO charset ISO-8859-15 not found
[ 152.652679] FAT: IO charset ISO-8859-15 not found

Mounting the device (/dev/sdc1, in this case) manually after such an attempt fails with mount complaining that this device does not exist, even though it was reported to be found in dmesg before?! What could be wrong here?

Good day everyone,

I have several disks where I burned avi and wmv videos from my windows machine.
They all worked great until now. I find somehow the colors are being inverted.
I originally thought it was a bad burn. But when I checked other disks it turns out the same. I assume this might be a bug. But not sure.
I know all the videos worked good from intrepid to jaunty and my previously (brief) experience with karmic bata before I did a clean install of jaunty again.

After giving karmic some time to have the bugs worked out, I did the upgrade to karmic via update manager.
Can anyone suggest a remedy?

Thanks to all,

I've got a panasonic Toughbook CF-28 running Xubuntu 9.10 with all the latest updates.

After booting the screens flickers and is shifted to the right about an inch wrapping around to the left side of the screen. The splash screen of the mouse looks good but as soon as the login screen loads is when the problem presents.

I can fix the screen if I give it a few minutes and flip between a couple virtual terminals.

I have a minimal xorg.conf but the same problem occurs without it.

Any advice on what might be causing the problem? Is it an Xorg issue? I can post other logs as needed.

The laptop has an Intel 82830 chipset.
