I've seen the documentation on Blu-Ray Restricted formats here but I'm looking to see if anyone has come up with an easy solution yet? Also it would be awesome if someone knows of any type of program that provides mkv compression.
I've had this problem for a long time and can't find a solution. I switch between the 3 OSes all the time and use a 1TB USB Drive to do so. I can't seem to find a format that is compatible across all systems that handles large files (at least 8-9 GB).
Does anyone have a solution for this? Recently I've tried exFat but that messes up the filesystem when trying to read on windows after adding files from Ubuntu (using the fuse driver).
The OSes currently I'm using are Windows Vista/7, Mac OS X (10.6.5) and Ubuntu 10.10
update: I've decided to go with ntfs for now. The download for ntfs-3g for mac can be found here.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the workspace number from a terminal script in gnome. Any ideas?
Does anyone know of any software or solution I can use to listen to Audible audiobook files in Ubuntu? I'd rather not have to use Wine but I'm just wondering what other people have come up with.
When searching through Synaptic for flash player I always see the options to use "flashplugin-installer" or "flashplugin-nonfree" or "adobe-flashplugin". Is there a reason to use one over the other?
I seem to be constantly running into problems with Flash player freezing crashing, mostly because of running too many flash apps at once (pandora/fantasy apps/youtube/etc). Does using one of these over the other have performance benefits? Or am I confusing myself and it doesn't really matter as they're both the same?
I have a universal remote that I would like to use to control my Ubuntu box setup using boxee.
I'm pretty familiar using lirc to get it setup(which I've used with an RF remote/receiver) but I'd like to know if anyone knows of a cheap, but compatible, infrared receiver I can buy for use with a common infrared multi-system remote.
Btw, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10
Thanks for the help!
I'm looking to find a way to test my internet speed at home through ssh. Does anyone know a terminal app that can give me calculations similar info to speedtest.net?
It would also be really cool if there was something that would do tests based on common internet ports too (i.e. web, torrent, etc) so you can see if you're getting throttled by your ISP.
