ok, I figured out that I had one computer that had nfs-utils installed and the other one did not. So I urpmi'd nfs-utils, rebooted both computers and finally it worked.... sort of. Now what is happening is that if I mount my /home directory on my second computer BOTH linux installations begin to act strange. By that I mean that I can only open ONE instance of a program, any program. If I try to open a second instance of the same program it shows like it is starting up in the taskbar for about 5 seconds and then it disappears and nothing happens. Any ideas on what this could be? Both computers are using KDE? Maybe I should use KDE on one and gnome on the other?

ok. I have edited my /etc/exports file to include all of the directories that I want to mount over the network. I have also checked in MCC->System->Services and nfs is started and has a check to start on boot as does portmap. From searching around google I have seen articles talk about exportfs, rpc.mountd, rpc.statd etc however I do not have these on my system?!? When I try to mount from PC 1 to PC 2 I get: mount: 192.168.1.142:/mnt/Video3 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied and when I try to mount from PC 2 to PC 1 I get: mount: RPC: Program not registered ????

Basically I have stumbled across a second computer and I would like one to be a server for my website and the second to be for my home computing stuff. However, this is where it gets tricky (IMHO) I would like to have my home, Pictures, Music and Video directories mounted on both systems at the same time so that a change on one shows up on the other. I am not new to linux but I am new to networking and Samba which I think is what I need to accomplish this. My question is this: Is this a good idea? Has anyone done this or is currently doing this? My setup will be behind a linksys firewall. Any input would be helpful. :P

I have added project to sourceforge.net. Going forward, this will be how I control, track and release new versions. Please visit the site at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdhomevid/ Enjoy! :P

PLEASE TRY TO BREAK THIS CODE. Then let me know as much detail as possible so that I can try to make this code as robust as possible. To Do: For the next release I would like to create a configure.sh file to help the user understand the importance of dependencies and which ones they are missing. Please provide feedback, my email is listed in the README file. Good and bad, I don't care I just want to know if anyone else uses this and if they do how it has worked for them. The README file contains a ton of information, please read! Enjoy!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D dvdhomevid_0.1.tar.gz

You can embedd the output directory path in the filename usage: dvgrab [options] filename such as: dvgrab /path/to/directory/TEST creates in /path/to/directory/ TEST_001.avi, TEST_002.avi, etc.

Is there a way to specify a different output directory to dvgrab instead of the default which is the current working directory. I found nothing in the man pages, no -o switch? :unsure: [moved from Software by spinynorman]

When I try to install mplayer plugin from source I get: No package 'gthread-2.0' found configure: error: Missing gthread package

Where is a good place to find an mplayer plugin for firefox? :D

Little behind schedlue. One more week and the new code will be posted.

It starts automaticaly at boot, but I don't know what it is.

I have only had DSL for two weeks, and because I finally have DSL I have set up a web server, ftp server and sshd server. Well I finally got around to looking at some log files, specifically /var/log/auth.log and I found a 768k 282 page file filled with this crap: As you can see there is a repeated pattern of sshd root login attempts about every two seconds. I don't think anyone has made it yet, but just the thought is ridiculous.

Thanks everyone!!!

Basically, if I was using emacs, kontact and firefox and I reboot then kde will automatically try to reload these applications whether or not I want it too. I'm thinking that this is probably stored in a file in my .kde directory somewhere but I am not sure.

This is somewhat irritating. I would like kde to stop loading previous programs automatically when I log in. Is there a setting somewhere to disable this?

I had the same problem when I had dial-up. It was trying to initialize a connection that didn't exist. Go to MCC->Network->Manage Connections(I think) and there should be a check box that says 'enable at boot'. Just uncheck this and you should be ok. If you actually do have dsl/cable service, then the story is different.

Your exactly right. All I did was: urpmi ssh-server and update the server to start at boot and voila, perfection. Thanks!

My ssh port (22) is turned off by default, and I would like to know how to enable it. I went to MCC->Security->Firewall and the checkbox that says enable everything was checked. However I then went to Shields Up and that showed that the port was closed. And when I try to ssh into my computer it says that the connection was refused. Any ideas?

I have just set up proftpd on my home computer and I am trying to access it from work but I can't and I think it has to do with the proxy server because on my home computer I could ftp-in and change directories, upload files etc. I also think this because I can not hit ftp.kernel.org either from work, but I can from home. Does anyone know how to ftp around a proxy server? :unsure:

Anybody? :unsure:

Is it possible to open the mozilla mail client in a new tab instead of a seperate window, and if so how? What I'm looking for is something similar to how Opera handles mail. I just like the tab browsing thing. :D

I AM CONNECTED!!!! Got a lot of help from here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...15&pagenumber=2 What finally did it was setting up the connection in MCC and then typing: dhclient eth1 :D :D :D :D :D :D Finally!

Well if I go into MCC, I first choose ADSL. Then I select between eth0(VIA Chipset) and eth1(NIC card). Next I enter the provider name, DNS servers, username and password. Then it asks me if I want to start this connection when I boot which I do and finally it asks if I want to restart the network connection which I do. Then after about 5 seconds it states that it was successful, however I still have no dsl access to the internet. My previous postings had ifconfig for eth0 and eth1 which is the output AFTER I set up eth0/1 in MCC. I don't know where to go from here. :o

Can't get dsl working. My NIC: ADM983 Linksys EtherFast 10/100 and the module is tulip which loads during boot When I go to network in MCC it lists eth0 as VIA Technologies(VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133]) which seems odd to me since that is my chipset and not my NIC, but this is my FIRST time setting up dsl so what do I know. Eth1 is listed as my NIC which again is ADM983 Linksys EtherFast 10/100. In MCC I set both up exactly the same. Provider name: sbcglobal.net First DNS Server: 151.164.1.8 Second DNS Server: 151.164.8.201 Account Login: username@sbcglobal.net Account Password: *********** Then I run: ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-D0-03-56-00-A5-19-A4-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) and ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:4D:2F:D1 inet6 addr: fe80::204:5aff:fe4d:2fd1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1800 (1.7 Kb) TX bytes:378 (378.0 B) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xee00 Both have UP next to broadcast and yet I get nothing. Even something as simple as typing http://192.168.0.1 in firefox does not get me anywhere. Can't ping it either. Like I said earlier, I am a dsl noobie but am decent otherwise, any help is obviously very appreciated. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I have recently updated the main program to be more 'gnu' like. I also added some functionality which allows a menu to be created automatically with some optional background music. I want to run one more test with it before I post the code here, so probably within a week or so I'll have the latest version of the code posted. So far though, I am very pleased with the results. It's nice to plug in the camcorder, specify a few options and x hours later have a perfectly burned DVD home video with menus, music, etc. Please provide feedback if you have used this code, I would enjoy your comments and suggestions! :D
