[Dorset] Somewhat off-topic.

2010-05-28 Thread Simon O'Riordan
WinFF to convert the flv to audio; Audacity to process the audio; Pitivi
to process the video; Kdenlive to assemble the components into the final
product.
Does anyone know a FOSS or near-FOSS application to actually capture the
video in the first place? I currently have to drop it into a share on my
XP virtual machine.

[Dorset] Wireless Dongles on Fedora.

2010-05-28 Thread Simon O'Riordan
After Fedora sat there like a mule, it finally let me log in. I plugged
in the new dongle and it worked immediately.
Not bad for £7.
Only niggle - it's only showing two bars at ten feet, so if you want to
put a box in another room, probably better off buying a Belkin dongle.
Simono.

[Dorset] It's...the war...the damned war...

2010-05-28 Thread Simon O'Riordan
Fedora 1, Ubuntu 0 Fedora 0.
?
Fedora could read my Ubuntu share straight away, but was impervious to
being read.
In my efforts to fix up a samba share, I broke my lovely 10.4 share.
Still no access, and now Fedora can't get into Ubuntu anymore.
For about five minutes, Ubuntu Samba 'found' the Fedora computer, but
couldn't mount the drive; Fedora couldn't even mount its own drive!

Eventually after a further hour of silent fail and loss of the
workgroups, I tried Fedora network printing through my router.
Finally a success!
:(

A lot of the time you will find the file is saved under /tmp at least 
when viewed with firefox but It will get deleted when browser window closed.

also about:cache in Firefox lists a lot of info in where files are saved

i used to use the downloadhelper firefox pluging but lately its not been 
working for me well http://www.downloadhelper.net/

Dan et al,
I just looked in the /tmp folder, and indeed it was there.
Meanwhile I've back to square one with the Fedora networking, except
I've now got 2 and 3/4 out of 3 working; the Fedora can see its own
shares and the Ubuntu computer, and Ubuntu/Ubuntu sharing has recovered.
All I need to do now is get the blasted Fedora to expose the share to
Ubuntu.
