Re: DVD: can't burn dual layer or at 4x
Can't find my original thread re: this problem, but this is close. I was having all sorts of errors trying to burn 8x media @ 8x. The burn would be physically bad, with blank bands, scorches, etc. Below that, they were fine, and 16x media worked @ 16x. I thought I'd tried everything, different media, burners, boxes, even distros. I noticed my BIOS would complain at boot that the IDE cable for the burner was only 40-wire. Since I had almost none of this trouble on the windows side (except 16x media @ 16x speed), I disregarded it. But lo and behold, when I switched to an 80-wire cable, all the problems seem to have vanished. I'm 3 for 3 in error-free burns at intended speeds thus far. -- http://www.livejournal.com/users/darkaudit/ pgp5tu36aBhRw.pgp Description: PGP signature

When I replaced my 0.9.9, the desktops would now jump two at a time when I used the scroll wheel. I thought it was a bug in fluxbox. Then I noticed that openbox was doing the same thing.

One thing I still don't like about Debian is the time it takes to get new versions of major packages, even on unstable or testing (think: Gnome 2.8). The other side of that coin is that the package maintainers DO keep their eyes on the target. Boy do they work efficiently ! I think the Gnome 2.8 situation was an anomaly. By that time Sarge was supposed to have been ready, and rumor was that 2.8 would wait until after the release.

Menu. Then you can run update-menus from the command line when necessary.
Running update-menus does not add a menu entry for this.
In that case it's a simple matter to add the line
[exec] (foo) {/usr/bin/foo}
to your fluxbox menu file.
Of course, if you do this, you'll want to name the menu file to something
*other* than fluxbox-menu, and change the session.MenuFile line in the
fluxbox init file. That way the menu won't be overwritten when you run
update-menus.

udev and /dev/video1394
I've installed udev, and I want /dev/raw1394 and /dev/video1394 to be available as user to use my DV camcorder with gnomemeeting. I have the lines M raw1394 c 171 0 M video1394 c 172 0 in my /etc/udev/links.conf, which puts the entries in /dev. Permissions are root only. I've tried putting these entries video1394:root:video:0666 raw1394:root:root:0666 in /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions, but it doesn't set them as I intended.
