Howto convert Mpeg or Mp4 to FLV Video file format

Introduction

This is a very simple console conversion method I came across, in order to create this format it does depend to a large extent on the source file being converted from. In other words if you have a crap source file your resultant file will or may look worse, so always choose the best quality and best resolution file you can lay your hands on before converting.

Installation of Thunderbird Mail and Opening an Account

Tue, 29/06/2010 - 18:08 — woody57

I have recently updated my laptop to run with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and in doing so opened some accounts in Thunderbird which I have installed separately. I ran into one or two problems and thought it might be useful to describe the opening of an account, the problems and the manner of overcoming them.

Changing Window Control Icons

Move Ubuntu Window Controls

One of the unusual features about the installation of Ubuntu 10.04 is the appearance of the window controls on the left hand side of a window. This makes life confusing for some of us because we are so used to these controls being on the right hand side.

Therefore I propose to set out below how these controls can be moved to the right hand side.

Press Alt + F2 and a Run Application box appears as shown in Figure 1. Type into the box gconf-editor and press Run.

LTSP Workabout 27th June 2010

Introduction

The Linux Terminal server is much talked about these days but just what is LTSP, is a free and open source add-on package for Linux that allows many users to simultaneously run on the same computer. Applications run on the server with a terminal known as a thin client. This was a workshop that some colleagues of mine and I decided to learn what we could about LTSP.

Introduction.

I suffered a network problem this week, that I misdiagnosed as being a laptop problem, when in fact, it was my router.

This in a round about way, led me to Install the latest version of Linux Mint - 9 Isadora, based on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx, which in turn uses the amazing Debian core.

Enough reviews can be found around the Internet singing its praises, without me adding to the tune, but it truly is an excellent release.
