[SLUG] apt-get issue
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help with this issue... I have a brand new debain (sarge) install. I have been trying to get some stuff installed.. my /etc/apt/sources file looks like... #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main ##stable# deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main non-free #security deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free #testing #deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing/non-US main non-free # Unstable #deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free # deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US main non-free - I have commented out most lines to try and source the prob... Whenever I uncomment the lines for the testing repositories I get this error E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing liblablgtksourceview-ocaml (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Im at a loss to understand why... I googled this up which told me to add the line APT::Cache-Limit "8388608"; to my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf This hasn't solved it... Anyone else have any thoughts?

[SLUG] Burning .IMG files?
Hey guys, just wondering if there is an app or something 'easy' for a noob like me to burn .img files? I have read about burning/mounting .iso files but I'm unsure if these are the same format as .IMG files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

[SLUG] CD Question...
Another noob question (one in which google has given me no answers :( ) I have a Pioneer 109D (dual layer dvd burner), when I try and burn with it, it wont recognise blank CDs/DVDs I put in (keeps telling me to insert a writable disk). It reads ok its just the burning. ;? Any you guys have any experience with one of these beasties or issues around CD/DVD burners such as this? btw I know the disk is ok, as I have another machine with a Pioneer 106 in it and it burns no problems. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I think I'll investigate further, but I will update firmware (as it was one of the 1st 109D's so the firmware is 'old'). See what happens..

Re: [SLUG] Re: CD Question... (Charles Myers)
Yeah it doesnt seem it was a firmware issue :( http://home.avargo.com/~cam/cd.jpg <--- this is the error when trying to burn Thats after upgrading to latest firmware 1.57 (from memory)... So it must be something else inside ubuntu... Ill keep googling, if anyone has anymore suggestions please let us know ;) Thanks again for the help thus far. Charles.

[SLUG] Moving multiple files....
Guys, I have searched google etc but failed to find an answer to this (im pretty sure though I have seen somewhere that it can be done...) I have a heap of photos (sorted by iPhoto) and it does it in multiple directories of year, month,date etc. I have moved the whole photo tree over to my desktop (which runs ubuntu). I was hoping to move all the .jpg's into a single directory if this is possible.. I have tried mv /photos/*.jpg /newphotos -r but of course this dont work :( Would anyone have any suggestions how to do what I wanted to do? Thanks for any help you can provide...

[SLUG] Dual Screen woes.. ;)
Ok yet another possible silly question, I have googled but everything that isnt related comes up (as you will see my problem maybe very specific?)

Yeah that seems to be the easier option, as the command line (even with the mplayer -vo jpeg quality=50 -frames 5 -sstep 60 -ao null homevideo.avi) is giving me a screenshot of every frame... its not skipping :/ So I might just have to do it manually :( Thanks for the help...
