A few questions

[ericeclifford]

Well I am trying to customize a live cd to use this whenever I am out and about, here is a few questions.


Does anyone know where to find the config. file to change the live cd shutdown message by default it is: Please remove the live cd from the drive, and press enter.

Also I need I am trying to find the config file to change the theme, I want it to show blue scroll bars :0

F-spot on my live cd, shows 2 camera(even though 1 is only plugged in) it shows 2 camera mounted but they are both the same 1 that is plugged into the USB port.
Also in f-spot when I open the camera to import photos it gives me a error saying: error stating file '/home/buntu/photos' no such file or directory.

I use mplayer for my dvd watching, I have a script that will search the drives (since I have 2 dvd drives(live cd is in 1) but when open it up, like half of the control panel keys are bugged/screwed and not doing what they are suppose to. Also when I run my script it shows a terminal playing it, anyway I can make the terminal hidden while watching the dvd.

BTW I tried to just use the mplayer basic utility, but it kept on making my dvd's come up in spanish.

Also I made a lot of desktop entries for my live cd, but some of them do not show the entire entry on the screen.

Also the firefox homepage ( when u first open it up on the live cd) cuts out the bottom of it a little.


Anyone know any of the fixes for these issues, your help is greatly appreciated.

In your ~/photos... I haven't used F-Spot, but I would assume it places things in ~/Pictures.
Out of curiousity, are these errors that started after customizations, or are they just issues with the generic CD?

[ericeclifford]

good questions Ill try the generic, the customize, on the hard drive f-spot works fine.

Any other advice suggestions?

Well my suggestion is, if your looking for something for simple usage on a live cd, don't use Ubuntu. It takes to long to load up because of it's size.

Try something smaller that works and boots fast on virtually any older computer: http://www.puppylinux.org/

Or you can also try: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

These distros won't take very long to download so my suggestion is to try them out. They offer all the needed applications and you can modify it however you like.

I like ubuntu though , anyone got fixes for the questions?

just looking for the .conf files so i can change it to a theme that is already on the live cd by default.

Also I tried xine and it did not work too well, and VLC I could not get to work, Ill try again though.

bump!

BTW I found that VLC is way better thus far. Now all I need to do is find the .conf file so it plays /dev/dvd instead of the normal default location it has. Which is like sc0 something.
