Look into Handbrake. It works well for converting mkv to mp4 for sure and has a lot of options to get the subtitles hardsubbed.
most laptops only have HDMI out, it doesn't actually work as an input.
I run minidlna and it works very well, it finds new videos when I add them to my video folder and pushes them out to my Smart TV very well. Never really had much of an issue with it.
You say you want to learn the command line to jump into some more advanced distros. I think that a great way to learn the command line is to just install and use ArchLinux for a while, it will force...
You can try http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/ and use
gifview --animate --new-window root animated.gif and see if it works
You can search for your windows programs here and see if they work or if they are garbage

oops, wrong thread...
Bastille is not in the repositories for any version of Ubuntu over 12.04 (it also looks like debian removed it from their repositories as well), that wiki page is very out of date talking about stuff...
You could try ArchLinux or a derivative with just an window manager like openbox. Runs pretty well on my Raspberry Pi which has less in it than that computer does.
If you really want to learn what is going on inside of Linux, I would try a more demanding distro like Arch/Gentoo/Linux from scratch/etc. They will force you to configure your own system and you...
You can also install arch to a USB stick pretty easily, just follow the beginners guide and it should work fine. Then run the update-grub with the usb-stick in place and it should add it to Ubuntu's...
You could always install the mini.iso and just install what you want instead of un-installing a bunch of stuff.
Arch can be booted off of a USB drive just fine. Check your /etc/fstab and make sure you are using UUID to specify where everything is mounted for a start. But this sounds much more like grub...
They have some instructions on their website to enable a new PPA to use the software center or apt-get to install, with what you downloaded though I would guess you need to build the package so this...
I think your issue arises in the the fact that the ipod is not a removable hard drive, but a small computer itself. It needs an OS that it can use like the iOS that it had on it, or rockbox or...
It's actually pretty easy. This page should help a bit and I will give some instructions below. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

You could try wine.

There is a tablet version out, but where you get it is going to depend heavily on the tablet. Your best bet would...
The images out right now are developer previews so don't install it on anything you want to use as a daily use type of thing. It does work fairly well on my Asus TF101 Transformer except for a wifi...
Also, on my desktop I had to enable booting from sata 3 devices. When installing I had the HDD not showing up and finding that option and enabling it allowed me to see and use the HDD.

I'm running ArchLinuxArm on a Raspberry Pi to host a DLNA/Samba/Torrent server. It has gone pretty well, now I just need to find a drive larger than 500GB for storing all my stuff.
for reference, this is my Arch install running openbox...

I know it pertains more to ArchLinux than Lubuntu, but there is a lot of good information for the config files and such. Check this out and see if anything sticks out at you. It would probably help...
The installation guide is good, but I would recommend the beginners guide. I have been running Arch for a few years now and still go to the beginners guide over the installation guide when I install...
