For fellow linux users: non-GUI handbrake command

hey there fellow linux users... if you happen to have a new video ipod and happen to have handbrake and happen to not want to use the GUI, or it doesnt work... your in luck!
just enter this command:
./HBTest -vb 450 -w 320 -i /mnt/LodeStar/10/DVD -o gladiator.mp4
here i have a dvd drive on windows mounted.
to mount a network dvd drive on windows, type mount //compname/dvdsharename /mnt/mountdir
so that command above means -vb video bitrate -w width -i inputfile -o outputfile... type ./HBTest --help to see more options.
please post if you found this helpful!
(i want to know if other linux users like this sorta thing or if i should keep these to myself)

Hi. You might find this hopeful. You can search for related topics online like in Google: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_curl.htm

  • .dotjs and .dotcss for Arch Linux Users

    Hi all,
    I've created a new Google Chrome extension to enable the functionalities of .dotjs and .dotcss extensions for Arch Linux users.
    Check it here; https://github.com/azer/.w3
    Contributions and ideas are welcome,
    Azer

    Thanks for doing this, never heard of dotjs before, but I love the idea and definitely have some use cases for this.
    Of course as an arch user, Im just kindly asking if you plan to create an AUR - package for this?

  • Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

    There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

    iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

  • Which is the default password for the linux user oracle?

    I installed xe on linux, which - I think - created automatically an operating system user called oracle (well, I'm nearly sure of this, maybe I created the user time ago and I forgot, my memory's never been good and is growing worse).
    I thougt this os user pass would be the same I set for db user system, but it is not. Which is the password?
    Anyway I suppose I can change the pass from root, but I am curious.
    All this comes to me because I'm going to install forms & reports services in the same machine, so I think I have to do it with this user.
    Ah! another question ... Is there any conflict between the apex server port and other ports needed for forms and reports services?

    You chose the password during the configure script.
    If not, su to the oracle user and do
    sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    password system
    and it should prompt you for a new system password.

  • Permissions for Linux user accessing Leopard share

    We have a very simple networking setup at our video post production facility. Basically, files are shared everywhere and to everyone. No open directory or DNS serving. Just AFP and SMB.
    Our Linux based Smoke/Flame/Lustre system needs access to the files severed/shared by an Xserve with a big attached RAID. It has no problem connecting or seeing the files. However, it typically is denied write permissions. When the Smoke operator creates a folder on the share he can't access the folder until I grant the Others/Everyone group read and write perms. The Linux user logs in with the same user account that everyone else uses.
    Some time ago, the always smashing Gerrit DeWitt gave me some terminal commands to set ACLs for users/groups of this shared RAID. They work beautifully and I have had no permissions issues since applying them. Except for this Linux system.
    Would it be good practice to use this command to set the Everyone group permissions for this share?
    sudo chmod -R +ai "group:everyone allow readattr,readextattr,readsecurity,\
    list,search,read,execute,writeattr,writeextattr,delete,\
    append,write,deletechild,add_file,addsubdirectory,\
    fileinherit,directoryinherit" "/Volumes/RAIDH/Smoke_InfernoStorage"
    Also, is there some configuration change I could make to the Linux system to make it a little more Mac compatible in this area?
    Thanks

    It's worth checking into - let us know what you find. What you describe certainly sounds like a problem with permission propagation settings for SMB / Samba since the AFP side works fine.
    I've seen other posts about problems that crop up because of differences in the versions of Samba employed between systems, so that's a possibility as well. And I'd have no suggestions for you in that regard other than some searching of the web for clues as to how to work with that issue.

  • Reset SAP GUI passwords for number of users one time

    Dear,
    i need your help in how to Reset SAP GUI passwords for number of users one time, as we have non-SAP users, only ESS users that they are currently using Portal ESS, but we need to reset thier GUI passwords so that they will not be accessing the GUI.
    we need to do it one shot, one time for more than 600 users.

    thank you

    You can also create an ABAP program which can be used to do a mass user password change.
    Here are the functions that will do what you need
    SUSR_GENERATE_PASSWORD - Generates a Password. Use this function only if you want to do random passwords. Otherwise you can upload your own password.
    BAPI_USER_CHANGE - You can use this BAPI to change just the password of a user
    Here is an example of some abap code. There may be some syntax errors and possible other issues. I just typed this out and didnt check it. You upload a comma delimited file which is the username,password. If the password field is blank the program will generate its own. Hope this helps

  • Wine Project looking for Photoshop CS users who want Linux support

    If you're not a Linux user, or if you don't like the idea of
    running Photoshop for Windows on Linux, you can stop reading now,
    this message probably won't be interesting to you.
    The Wine project is looking for hardcore Photoshop CS or 7
    users who use Photoshop professionally, all day, every day,
    and who are willing to tell us why they can't do that in Linux
    using Wine yet.
    We know everybody would like Photoshop CS3 or at least
    CS2 support, but support for CS2 and CS3 isn't quite
    ready, so we'd like to focus on our strengths, and support
    Photoshop 7 and CS excellently. Don't worry, we're also
    working on the CS2 and CS3 issues. Getting all the 7 and CS
    issues taken care of builds a stronger foundation for CS2 and CS3.
    If something doesn't work in Photoshop 7 or CS itself,
    or your favorite plugin works in Windows with 7 or CS
    but not in Wine, please let us know how to reproduce
    the problem. To do that, just reply to this post,
    or post in the wine-users mailing list,
    or leave a comment in the wine appdb for Photoshop 7 or CS,
    or file a bug in the Wine Bugzilla,
    whichever you're more comfortable with.
    We'll take it from there; if we can reproduce it, we'll
    file a bug and see if we can get a wine developer to fix it.
    Ideally you'd test with the latest release of Wine
    (currently 0.9.51), but if you're still on a slightly older
    version, don't sweat it, we'll retest on the latest for you.
    Thanks!

    Here's my original post the cnet article is based on:

    Here's another post giving more details:

    Here's the response of Adobe's Photoshop product manager:

    Here's another nice writeup:
    http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080219-google-intoxicates-linux-users-with-wine-imp rovements.html
    At the risk of repeating myself: I'm serious. I really want bug
    reports from professional Photoshop users. Leave them here,
    send them to the wine-users mailing list (see http://winehq.org),
    or file one in our bug tracking system (http://bugs.winehq.org),
    any of the three ways is fine.

  • Javafx for console (non-gui) applications?

    Hi,
    I am interested in using the JavaFX scripting language as a general purpose language to create console (non-gui) applications. But even running the following simple program seems to initiate some sort of GUI that quickly appears and disappears. Is there anyway to run a JavaFX script in "console-only" mode?
    function run(args : String[]) {
      println("hello")
    }Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yeah, that is pretty much exactly what I did.
    I am running on Mac OS X 10.5.6, with Java 1.6.0_07 and JavaFX 1.1.0.
    When I execute the program from Terminal, everything works, however a new application appears in the menu bar while the program is executing in the console. For example, if I add a java.lang.Thread.sleep(5000) invocation to the program mentioned earlier, you will see the application in the menu bar for 5 seconds. This is not the way a normal console-based java application typically works... there should be no application in the menu bar.
    Thanks.

  • Listen for keys in non-GUI app?

    Is there a way for a non-gui application that runs in a dos-box to receive key strokes? i read about the CTRL-C shutdown hook, but i don't want to shutdown my app but just send them some key combination so that it print something to System.out. Is this possible?

    You could try jcurses or a similar library...

  • Using Xcode for non-gui C++

    I originally posted this in the wrong place, and I was told to post in here.
    I am learning standard c++ in school, and we're programming with Microsoft visual Studio on PCs. I wanted to work on my projects at home, but I don't know how to create and build non-gui C++ projects. Anyone know?

    we're programming with Microsoft visual Studio on PCs
    If you want something like "Visual Studio" on Mac, then you can use the "Xcode" application in /Developer/Applications/. (I assume you have installed Xcode Tools, which is in your Leopard DVD).
    Start Xcode, and select "New Project..." from the "File" menu. In the Assistant dialog, open "Command Line Utility" and select "C++ Tool". Enter the name of the project and where to save it, and push Finish. Double click on "main.cpp", edit it, save (cmd-S), and push "Build" or "Build and Run". Is this what you want?
    Of course the project file is not comatible with Visual Studio, but you can copy the source files (*.cpp and *.h) to Windows PCs.
    If you prefer to run C++ compiler from the command line (rather than to use Xcode application), then just open Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), cd to the directory where the source files are, and try typing "g++ xxxx.cpp".

  • An Idea for a linux distribution

    Basically, I had my grandma in mind when I came up with this idea.  I thought about entitling this thread "linux distro for grandmas" but decided against it, because it might be offensive to some  (I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this great big world there is a grandma who is a great linux admin).  Besides, I know a number of people that aren't my grandma that this would be perfect for. 
    Basically, there is usually a trade off between power and ease of use amongst Linux distributions.  On one end of the spectrum you have umm... ubuntu and xandros(?)  and on the other you have Linux from Scratch.  Anyway, my grandma would have a tough time with even the simplest distributions unless it was set up by a very patient and thoughtful admin. 
    So my idea is to make a distribution that offers virtually no options to confuse the user.  Once the computer is booted, the user is confronted with a graphical login where they simply click (user1).  From there, they are presented with a few icons with titles such as "surf the internet", "check email", etc.  (maybe this is too patronizing?)
    I think that by default, their should be two users, one for the primary user, and one for guests, just to prevent guests from messing things up by screwing with configurations, or looking up pornography. I think that there are programs that convert linux boxes into dummy terminals which might help in such a distribution.  (maybe we can make certain config files read only)
    This distribution should run on  just about anything by default, and be a dream come true for any admin who wants to quickly and easily setup a computer for a friend or loved one (or fellow employees).  The installation process should be as simple as clicking "yes you're sure and you understand that by installing you will erase everything on the harddrive".  (ok, maybe we could include a few more options than that)
    This distribution would be unsuitable for anyone who would want to install or upgrade their own software, or play 3d games etc.  It should include support for playing music, surfing the internet, reading email, and all of the basics that many many people want to use their computer for.(without understanding ANYTHING about it)  I'd also like to make it unnecessary for end users to know any passwords, or commands period.
    No one wants grandma to get hacked, but it would be nice to remotely admin these installations  (although ideally, the need for administer's intervention would be absolutely minimal). So I was thinking that in addition to the two end user login accounts, we would need a login account meant exclusively for logging in via ssh, and, of course root.  the ssh specific login name and password would have to be chosen during installation, and this would be the only account that is accessible by ssh.  This user would be the only member of the wheel group.  Root... well root is root.
    Anyway, a quick google around didn't reveal any projects that had these goals in mind.  I just dreamed this up an hour ago, so it is not even well developed as a concept yet. 
    Is this interesting to anyone else?

    It's not just Grannies that could use this.  Just yesterday I had some windows using friends touting the benefits of Xandros Presto. Essentially what you are talking about is a similar concept.  I like the idea too, and even better would be if a very few applications could be customised as packages that are available for download as extensions. Rather than every GNU app packaged with scarce descriptions it would be great to select a main tool for each category and document it, make it installable into the chosen GUI, even have pretty little logo graphics for each app.  Really user friendly.  You'd have to look seriously into the Gui layout of the main selections screen as well as each individual app so that it was uniform across the board.  I've always thought it would be better for this type of thing to limit the way things can be done also.  Most interfaces give numerous ways of completing the same task.  It'd be much simpler if there were only one primary way (even if the others were there but hidden, like keyboard shortcuts), so there is still room for advanced users to speed things up a bit.
    Being able to trim it all down to single option answers to basic operational questions would be fantastic.  There would also have to be no update manager, or if there was it should be designed to ship updates once a month tops.  No kernel updates, no nvidia updates.  Just a perfectly working balance of good apps that can't be broken easily.
    "Fantastic" would also be a great distro name
    The only thing I find wrong with this way of thinking though is that it seem like everyone can create a new distro but no-one seems to work on the interface of the applications, or the total system.  i.e. Making a distro you can only use what applications are available and if you choose openoffice for your office suite and there is an issue with it, you can't fix it, therefore you can't control the stability of the system.  It can only all come together properly when the applications can be simplified in conjunction with the OS UI and the authors have enough control to fix both the distro, and the applications.
    Cheers,
    Arkay.

  • Creating more than one account for a single user

    I was wondering, if I creat more than one account for me (the only person that uses my powerbook) is that going overboard? I mean, lets say I am logged into the standard account and I want to learn more about the bash shell and using terminal which I am new to, if I **** something up will the whole system be toast or will only things in that account be messed up? Like could I then just log into my admin account and delete the other messed up one? Or no? My theory was that this was a way of keeping my comp safe from myself, being that I am new to macs and moreso that I am new to the unix side of things and want to start learning the command line without worrying about screwing up my whole system. I would just use the standard account for everyday use (like what I do now) or experiment with terminal, and when I need to download something or change some settings that requires me to be logged in as admin then I would log in and download what I need then log out and use it in the standard account...am I just wasting my time? Is what I am doing any "safer" than just having one admin account and thats it?
    Thanks for all the help! It feels good to be a part of the goodguys team =)
    Thanks again!

    Ghost,
    First, I don't subscribe to the "one should not use an admin account" philosophy. For someone who is the owner and main user of any given machine, I see the use of anything but an admin account a bit anal, totally unecessary, and needlessly complicating.
    On the other hand, I don't see the need for more than one admin account on any given machine. Yes, I see exceptions to this, and many people favor having a second admin account as a "backup," but I have never had more than one admin account on any of my machines, and have never encountered a situation where one would have helped.
    In short, I like the idea of having a "main" admin account that is used most of the time, and then having "secondary" accounts (all non-admin) for any additional users that might log in.
    Now, any limitations that apply to you as a GUI user of an account, admin or not, will apply to you at the command line as well. In other words, you can't get yourself into any more trouble at the command line than you can within the GUI. In fact, you might even be better protected at the command line than you are in the GUI. I say this because any action that would ordinarily "elevate" you above the standard capabilities of a non-admin user require the use of "sudo." Avoid the use of sudo, and you can avoid any problems.
    That doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to do something stupid that might wreck an account that contains "all of your stuff," and on which you depend. It is not likely that you would damage your System, but it is entirely conceivable that you might, for example, accidently delete or overwrite your entire HOME folder. Oops!
    If you simply don't trust yourself with the command line, a second account might be a good place to experiment. Maybe create it as a non-admin account at first, with the option to change it to an admin account at a later time, when you want to learn how to use "sudo" to do more powerful things. By then, you will understand what not to do. Eventually, you will have the confidence to use the command line in your own account, which will have been an admin account all this while.
