My entire business thanks you Open Source
My entire business is reliant on Open Source as I posted on Reddit today. I realize that our Business is about 95% Open Source is any one else using that much Open Source in there business? https://redd.it/4p9bde -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Thanks for the Stickers!
Hi Guys, Who's ever responsible (I'm assuming they're on the List). Many thanks for the Stickers! They finally arrived here in yesterdays post, after requesting them some time ago. So, many thanks. There's now several smiling Ubuntu faces around here, with their 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers. The stickers were attached to laptops in a somewhat mini-coronation crowning ceremony with the utmost pride. The few left overs we have will be used for new Ubuntu converts and installs. :) Cheers, Rob -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Thanks
Thanks heaps for your welcome and friendleness. I will be looking into the suggestions made in both replies to my post. It is reasuring that there is help available. It will take me some time but I'll get there. I think I saw that there was a new version of Ubuntu coming out soon. Is that correct? If so, I might wait till that arrives and start everything fresh. I use Komposer to do out web site. I need something simple. Is that the best out there. (I guess that is a bit of a realitive question, sorry). In one other reply to my post it was said that I need to look at what I want to do in unbuntu rather than learning Unbuntu - Good advice. That same advice was given to me back in the early 90's re learning Windows. Amazing how we forget good advice. In the coming weeks I hope to be pestering you all with some questions. Thanks again Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: Thanks
Hi Dave, If you are up to it, it would be excellent f you could blog about your experience. If there is one thing we need it's more voices from people 'starting down' the Ubuntu road.

P.S. page link To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 David, Firstly, you should consider the license for the media you want to record - it may or may not be legal to save the audio, depending on ABC's TOS. That said, if you want to go ahead here is my advice. I think you're looking into it in the wrong way. From a quick look on the web site, the flash applet downloads an mp3 file which it then plays. The most simple way would be to grab the mp3 file yourself How do you get it? Have a look at the HTTP headers. There's a firefox add-in called Live HTTP headers that will give you the location of all HTTP content transferred through the browser session (including the mp3 file that the flash applet pulls), so you can grab it yourself. Have a play around with the add in - or if you're feeling game any other method of inspecting HTTP headers, a packet sniffer like wireshark will also do the same thing but it's not nearly as friendly IMHO. Worst case if they're actively blocking HTTP requests you may need to fake the referrer - which is probably the job for wget. Regards, Ross 2008/11/25 David [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, sorry, it would've been helpful if I'd posted the link. The page is: http://www.abc.net.au/wideopenroad/ You then click on Destinations then on Road, then on Road Radio at the bottom. I'm assuming there's a flash player playing a sound file, but in the source code I can see a 'site_loader.swf' but not a path to the sound file. I get no result from Hardy's inbuilt Sound Recorder. Grateful for any suggestions!

Thanks!
Hi everybody, I would like to say thanks for all those who posted to the list and directly to me concerning my cd/dvd burning issues on all my linux boxes. I have solved the problem (phew!, at last) with the help of the many suggestions which helped me look into possible causes. I discovered that Gnomebaker, kb3 and Brasero all use the cdrado etc files. What was happening was that burners were not being locked and my discs (whatever make or drive) were incorrectly calculated a) capacity and b) burning speed (all written on the disc by the manufacturer as you know). I used a workaround from launchpad but I'm damned if I can find the link or where I wrote it down. It works for some people and it did for me. I assume Intrepid has this updated .. the only catch is that cancelling during a burn does not unlock the burner, needing a reboot. Anyhow - I can now burn 100% successfully. As a (hopefully) contribution to the list I enclose some observations ... I notice that Gnomebaker does not support CDDB nor does it auto attempt to recognise the cd capacity - annoying. And it does not select burnfree by default, a 'bad' decision imho. Brasero (now) correctly identifies the disc capactity, but it's scale does not adjust. It knows when it is exceeding capacity, though. It is, for me, hopeless using auto burn speed which is a pity but no big problem. I don't understand why it always burn at near max speed (causing failures often) when the manufacturer provides all the info it needs. Still, choosing manually is no big deal. It supports limited CDDB (disc title only) bit I am not sure if it follows the convention and substitutes spaces with underscores and converts to all caps. Again, not a problem unless playing back in a fussy player that is able to read the text info. k3b wins on all of the above: recognises capacity, calculates space correctly and appears to support CDDB for track info and disc title. Using auto speed for burning I have not yet had a failure though it burns way beyond manufacturer specified speed. Somehow, it seems 'not right' to use a kde app in gnome! I notice that all the above progams 'convert' to cd audio at different rates, whether mp3 or flac originals. I have no way of telling if they all use the same algorithm but I assume none use their own. Cheers, and again, thanks.
