all i had a call saying my computer was spewing confidential data all over the net, or at least to this guys computer. he said to prove it, log in to my computer and press the windows key plus the R key. well, well, the conversation went down from there... total scam. at any rate, on my ubuntu box, if i press the window key for a couple of seconds, a new wiindow pops up with a handy key shortcuts. but now on rev. 1410, it also overlays a small icon over the left hand icons starting from the second icon to the 12th icon. the overlay is simply a number '1' to '9' followed by a zero, then 'd'. anybody know why? david -- David López --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

I saw a technique online using a CUPS interface script, but it seems the interface script is being bypassed (the first line in the script uses echo to put some text into a file in my home directory, which is not happening). The method is to create a printer with the URI set to /dev/null and an interface that spawns two new print jobs, one to each of the two printers you want it to print on. Here is what I have done: Script interface_script: #!/bin/bash echo Interface script is running. /home/me/debug lp -d printer1 $6 lp -d printer2 $6 _ Create Printer: lpadmin -p twoprint -i interface_script -v /dev/null -E The lpadmin copies the interface_script into /etc/cups/interfaces/twoprint as expected and the permissions on the twoprint script are 755. The CUPS LogLevel is set to debug2 and I don't see anything that looks to me to be an obvious problem in /var/log/cups/error_log. I had this working in the past, but now I am trying to set it up again and can't get it to work. Does anyone have an idea why the interface script is not getting run?

music cd in wav to mpg format
how do i copy music cd's (wav format) to my hard drive and create an mp3 output to one cd to listen on my car radio? my system is ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with amd phenom 2 chip and 8 gig ram. as you know, ubuntu uses rhythmbox to play cd's. works ok. it even finds the cd play list (from the web?) and then displays the name of song and author in a spreadsheet-like output. nice. it can also import to a directory but i can't do it. i can create the dir but nothing gets imported. obviously, i can manually copy the wav files to dir in my hard disk, however, rhythmbox can't find the play list but can play the copied wav files. it also comes with cd burner program called brasero. i can use this to burn the cd but as far as i can see it does not do conversions wav--mp3 format. what program can do this? any web links will be appreciated. david -- David López Software Engineer --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

It ran into problems checking the disk, so I let it boot into read only mode and ran fsck. I accepted all the defaults - there were some damaged inodes, so I let it fix them. It is booting OK now and seems to be running OK. The broken inodes were in some perl packages (late last night, did not write down the package name). The only strange behavior now occurs right at boot - it hangs a long time (~2 min) at the first two steps after grub loads: Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686 - ~ 1 min Loading initial ramdisk - ~1 min There is only 1 gig of ram in the system, so the ram disk cannot be that large! - Ouput from top: top - 18:09:05 up 1 min, 2 users, load average: 0.27, 0.16, 0.06 Tasks: 84 total, 1 running, 83 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1032772k total, 176740k used, 856032k free, 6916k buffers Swap: 2017272k total, 0k used, 2017272k free, 90536k cached Is there anything I should do at this point, or just keep it running?
