Re: [SLUG] Writing Double layer DVD-R - problems
HI Bill, sometimes slowing the burn down works. Also check that the blank can write at the nominated speed. Another thought is that sometimes you can update the firmware on these things. Might be worth checking the manufacturer website occasionally.

Anyway, managed to burn the .iso to a dual/double-layer DVD+R with Brasero under XUbuntu 9.04. at (near) completion I got an error message, but I can play the full movie and extras using SMPlayer, so I'm not sure what problem was but I think that it was something to do with creating a new checksum. When I have time I'll investigate further. With Mint7 on 2 of the PCs I got the message (using Brasero) "medium is not writeable with current set of plugins" though as stated I can play the written DVD on one of these PCs with SMPLayer and Kubuntu 8.04.

Imagine being able to apt-get on your phone. It's great (and a little suprising) to see a big company running with the debian system like this and leaving it pretty much open unlike apple. I hope they kickass with this product - although it's almost too geeky-cool to last/succeed. On one of the forums I was reading people were talking about making use of the Xserver on the phone to access apps on beefier machines - some mention of nx enhancements to X for slow connections.

[SLUG] Suggestion for 'short' talks at SLUG
Hi all, Following my presentation on Friday night I was asked about how I'd created some of the images in my presentation. For those who have seen (and will see) the presentation, of particular interest was how I'd managed to create the image wherein the frame is skewed to provide an impression of depth along with a reflection. The application is called: http://photobatch.stani.be/ This caused me to think that maybe we should also make space for short, five minute presentations on simple applications (or on a cunningly clever option in a more complicated application) at some point during the SLUG meetings. This would provide an opportunity for those who have something they'd like to present or demonstrate but which doesn't require a long, more detailed presentation. It could be a good way of allowing a greater range of people an opportunity to more actively participate and demonstrate their skills and knowledge with the added benefit that we would all get a little bit extra, yet again, from the meetings. Thought I'd run it up the flag pole and see who salutes it :)) Regards, P -- http://lugnuts.wftl-lug.org/pg/blog/Patrick www.youcantdothatinlinux.com Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] DNS Appliances/Web Frontends
Please no. not webmin. There are much better front ends for doing dns. gadmin-bind (the newer ) version is fairly decent -> google is your friend / apt-cache search dns blah 2009/8/29 Ben Donohue : > www.webmin.com > > Ben > > > > > UnspecifiedId wrote: >> >> Greetings, >> >> a) can anyone recommend a good virtual DNS appliance with a decent Web GUI >> frontend or >> b) good Web Front ends for DNS.
