Quick video on how to change the two default taskbars / panels Ubuntu has and put them into one panel at the bottom of the screen. You end up with Menu, Program list, Sound, email, Clock, Gwibber, and Shutdown button in one panel so it looks similar to KDE, LXDE, Windows, etc… Also looks good with one panel when using a Widescreen monitor. First part of the video applies to Maverick Meerkat (10.10), Lucid Lynx (10.04), and Karmic Koala (9.10). Last part of the video I show how to do a similar change with Classic Desktop in Natty Narwhal (11.04), but it doesn’t work quite so well because application menus appear in the top panel.

Regnum Online is free to download and play. Istanbul was used to record. Avidemux to edit the video. Audacity to edit the audio. ffmpeg for conversions. The first song reverb is intentional, turn down your volume a bit, artists =). Also you will see some jumps around RO as I had to remove a section of my screwing up with audacity and patch it back in.

Yes, YAWGRAWIL (Yet Another Windows Game Running Atop Wine In Linux). Oblivion was created by “Bethesda” and “2K” game companies. Bethesda went onto create “Fallout 3″ and 2K (Boston/Australia) made “Bioshock” . Two games you can’t play in linux until Wine catches up.. However, Oblivion runs in Wine on Linux now.. And keeping to how I like to do things I’m going to complete the whole game in Linux. Not to prove Linux is better or anything, but to prove that it can be done in Linux….

Warning: Animated Violence with blood. This is me just recording my new Ubuntu layout after upgrading to Feisty Fawn. Keep in mind that it runs smoother then in the video, its the recording program. I’ll update a 100% smooth one later. (hopefully 100% smooth).

It took me longer to make the video than it did to make the audio recording. It describes at the first of the video what I did.. I still have yet to do something that makese use of the full stereo range, although I’ve done a 4-track stereo recording, that was not presentable because.. Well hell I should dump that one as well. I still have yet to figure out how to do all teh cool stuff with ardour, I have enough fun just rerouting the audio with jack and re-recording stuff.. This video is …

Many people are making the shift to Linux for the wrong reasons. Don’t consider performance as a priority, but consider how Linux works, who makes it, and how it can match the performance of Windows at all.. Such considerations may reveal to you why you are so reliant on Windows, and why you shouldn’t have to be. Why you should really consider transitioning for the most part to Linux. Now I’m not going to do what Microsoft did to convert people to Windows, by giving people a grandiose vision …

Trick.. I tried everything.. Then thought, how about just converting flv’s to flv’s ..
It works..

use this

for i in *.flv
do
ffmpeg -i $i some_directory/$i
done

That will convert a directory full of flv files into properly formatted flv files sitting
in another directory, so jSVICoder will handle them.

Note, if you haven’t given suffixes to your flv files, say you used the ripping from “/tmp”
trick of playing a flash file in firefox and pausing it so it gets cached, them copying the
flash file somewhere else when its fully cached..

Use this instead for conversion:

mkdir converted
for i in Flash*
do
mv $i $i.flv
ffmpeg -i $i.flv converted/$i.flv
done

If the flv files have spaces in the name, you will have to use double quotes on the target filename, otherwise it will interpret each space separated word in the filename as a separate filename.

this should work in that case..

for i in *
do
mv “$i” “$i.flv”
ffmpeg -i “$i.flv” “converted/$i.flv”
done
