I am buying this laptop: ASUS X501A-TH31

Anyone have any experience with any compatibility issues with this model?

Any suggestions on how to find out more about compatibility issues with this...

This solved this problem for me:

I just clicked Update Manager --> Settings...

Then on "Other Software" tab, I also checkmarked "Source Code" one that had not been on...

I then clicked...

I tried that and it didn't work. Unless I did something wrong. It didn't seem to change anything in 10.10

This seems like a very obvious problem with Ubuntu 10.10 but I've searched the forum and google and I can't find the fix.

In 10.10, in the Panel menu items text, the Font of inactive items is Too...

What software for Ubuntu or Windows is best for capturing video from a webcam & audio from a USB mic & saving to hard disk encoded as WebM?

This is the system BTW....

I have a Gateway 3250S and the audio does not work at all on Ubuntu 10.04.

Any ideas?

Remastersys does all the ubiquity for you.
You don't need to remove anything - for your own backup use.
For massive distribution, ask a lawyer.

Actually, I have since discovered that Kino CAN see the video coming in from the camcorder via firewire...

However, it cannot seem to capture it.

I think the problem must be with Kino. ...

Cool. Running it as root ( sudo kino ) does now allow it to see the camera's video.

Kino does not seem to allow live capture though... Only the "capture" of a pre-recorded video... as the camera...

I think I have this same problem. ( Though I am using Lucid 32-bit version. )

I can't get anything to even "see" the camcorder on firewire.

It appears that Kino, PiTiVi, etc are designed to capture PLAYBACK of recorded video from a camcorder... But not to capture LIVE...

Yes, FireWire from the camcorder to the PC.
With Windows and using Adobe Flash Media Encoder, I just turn the camera On - without ever recording to DV tape - and the live video and audio are fed...

I've always used Flash Media Encoder to receive video from a camcorder, encode it, and save it to disk. How can I do this in Ubuntu instead?

Is there any way a copy of Windows, running in VirtualBox on Ubuntu Linux, could get a virus and then... Could such a virus affect anything?

Can anyone recommend an open alternative to Adobe Flash Media Encoder (to record video) which will run on Ubuntu Linux? Encoding in WebM? :)

What's the best way to encode video in WebM format using Ubuntu?

Do normal USB Mobile Broadband sticks with with Ubuntu Linux? Like specifically the ones from T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile?

That is so true. ...and humorous at the same time. :)

Wow.

From the LiveDVD, I was able to do the, "Press the spacebar at the 'keyboard=man' icon screen to get the install menu"... And then the, "At install screen press F6 and select nomodeset and...

I turned on the popularity-contest (within the Software Sources).... but I don't see that file. Maybe it takes some time to appear?

But... I want a GUI app that will use this data to look up the...

Yes. It works perfectly.

(However, for some odd reason, the volume defaults to a level of 0 in Sound Preferences, Applications. But once you increase that volume, it works perfectly.)

But I'd want to see this data specific to ME... and MY own personal usage... not aggregated for all users in the world.

I'd also like to see percentages, and contact information for each...

Please spread this idea to all the FOSS (free open source software) developers you know.

There should be a free app for Ubuntu which uses the machine's actual usage statistics to calculate how...

For that, I think the superior method is to simply use http://xmarks.com

It backs up all of those things automatically, and even synchs with all my computers, if I want it to.
