Question, Is the video one of the older/non supported AMD chipsets (HD 4000 and older)? Are you using Catalyst driver? If yes to both then see http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/ It sounds like this may be what you are running into. James C.

I assume what you really want is to ignore all comment lines completely (not just changes to comment lines). Diff won't do this directly, but that's what [named] pipes are for :) try this: diff <(grep -v '^//' file1) <(grep -v '^//' file2) On 10/22/2012 01:59 PM, Eric Cope wrote: > Hi all, > I a

If you want to kill lines that start with // then you need to anchor it to the beginning of the line with ^. If you want to also get comments that start with spaces or tabs you can also add \s to match white space followed by a * to match 0 or more occur aces of white space. So the line you w

Aarrrg, sorry I had to 0 the whole drive without any payoff, I really thought that would yield results. As for your current problem, at the grub prompt, press e and edit the boot line, delete the words quiet and splash and then press CTRL+x to boot. That should allow you to see all the boot

It appears that you have managed to chop off the end of your file, and since MPEG4 files keep their header at the end of the file nothing will touch that file. Sure, much of the data is there, but you would have to know a heck of a lot about it and have some very special software in order to r

The Roku Stick, and many phones, use MHL-compatible ports; CEC is the remote-control interface for MHL, but it's the MHL port that is required for a Roku stick. As far as I can tell, all MHL compatible host devices (e.g. TVs) also support CEC. On 10/20/2012 10:34 AM, Brian Cluff wrote: > I thin
