UDF 2.5 and Blu-ray video creation tools
by Michael Cronenworth 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

It's my understanding that kernel 2.6.26 brought UDF 2.5 support, but I am not sure what tools have the capability to create a UDF 2.5 ISO to burn to a DVD or Blu-ray disc in a video format. My intentions are to be able to playback AVCHD video on a Blu-ray player. I've stumbled on a "mkudfiso" project[1] but I haven't tried using it yet. I can't seem to find any Blu-ray authoring utilities for creating a Blu-ray directory structure either. Are there any better tools? As far as Google is concerned, Blu-ray authoring seems to be an entirely Windows or Mac thing. [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/blurayauthor/

f9: turn screensaver on/off when using xfce
by Dave Feustel 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Running xfce in F9, I cannot figure out how to enable/disable the screensaver. I have run the command yum install 'xfce*', so I think I have all the xfce apps installed. Which one controls the screensaver? Thanks.

Boot Windows XP from high block number?
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I have installed Linux and Windows XP on my hard drive and am trying to set up a dual boot. Unfortunately XP is installed at a high sector, namely block 204438565. The partition table starts: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 63 2040254 1020096 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2040255 104438564 51199155 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 104438565 206836874 51199155 b W95 FAT32 ... I have set up grub.conf as follows: ... title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 The grub initialization screen starts OK, but when I select Windows, grub fails with a disk read error. Questions: (1) Is grub.conf set up right for this partition table? (2) Is it possible to boot XP at this location, or do I have to reinstall Linux and XP with their partition reversed, so as to get the XP partition to a smaller block number? (3) Is there some quicker way to get the partitions reversed other than reinstallation? Thanks - jon

kphotoalbum tips?
by Ian Malone 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Does anyone use kphotoalbum? It seems to do /almost/ exactly what I want in terms of flexible tagging, but the html albums it exports don't look great (both its file|html export and the html export plugin), has anyone had any success customizing it? Thought I'd ask here before disappearing across to their mailing list. Thanks -- imalone

Fedora 11 Countdown Banner?
by Marc Ferguson 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, I have the same JavaScript code on my blog that was used for the Fedora 10 release. I saw a blog entry ( http://blog.berkenpies.nl/2009/04/02/fedora-11-countdown-counter-part-2/) talking about the Fedora 11 counter, but it's the same exact code that I have on my site. My site is still showing Fedora 10. Does a Fedora 11 counter exist? -- Marc F. www.fergytech.com Registered Linux User: #410978 "When life gives me lemons... I make Linuxaide, hmm good stuff!"

FDISK problems
by potat0 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

OS= Fedora 10 I have a secondary 250GB disk of which I created a 50G partition on to try and set-up an LFS system. I finished with the LFS system and now I want to destroy the partition and reclaim all of the 250GB. So i simply ran fdisk /dev/sdb and deleted the 2 Linux partitions ( one 83 and one swap). I then created a new partition as primary partition #1. fdisk appears to see the entire disk....I'm able to start at cylinder 1 and end at 30401 which is 250GB, however when i mount the partition it's shows as only 50G.....What the hell is going on here??? -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=334475&topic_i… If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster(a)fcp.surfsite.org and/or blame mlstarling31(a)hotmail.com.

[Way OT] Tiny Core Linux
by John Wendel 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Stumbled across a reference to Tiny Core Linux on distrowatch, thought I'd give it a try. 10MB download (yes, I said 10MB). Burned a CD, booted, and it was running. Read the single page help, installed mplayer and OSS sound and in 2 minutes I was playing a video. These guys have some unique ideas, and they're doing an excellent job of implementing them. If they can keep at it, in a year this will be a fantastic Linux distro. Give it a spin and prepare to be impressed. No, it isn't better than Fedora, just really different. I like what they're doing. http://www.tinycorelinux.com Regards, John
