[SLUG] ABC on Etch?
Hi, I'm wanting to listen to an ABC National program on Debian Etch. All I get is a popup to install either Real Player or Windows Media Player. Anybody know how to get this moving? I've got the w32 codecs and all that and can listen to most things. I just don't know how to get by this popup.

[SLUG] Problem with Feisty Totem.
I had trouble playing a dvd using Totem---I was told that I did not have the correct plugins. Went looking for help and was told to use the command apt-get install totem-xine which I did. As well as installing totem-xine, totem-gstream was removed--- presumably they can't both exist on the same machine. Tried the DVD again. Error message Totem has not got the plugin to handle DVD/ What am I doing wrong? Any help gratefully received.

Re:[SLUG] video for websites.
Hi David, I do a fair bit of video editing (home videos) using Kino, Avidemux, ffmpeg CLI stuff, GopChop, GIMP etc. If you'd like to PM me, I'd be happy to help you work out what you need to do. Regards, Patrick david <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 11:08:07 +1000 I'm going to have to do some short (30-60 second?) videos for websites soon. They will be edited versions of material shot on camcorders.. pretty standard stuff really. The last time I did it I used iMovie to create quicktime, but I would like to use FOSS this time. Does anyone have any thoughts about what's the best format/software? thanks..

I've seen this happen when there was a bug on Debian Etch's apache2-doc
package (which was fixed long ago).
Here is the Apache configuration file that comes with apach2-doc now and
works for me (I get the English version):
AliasMatch ^/apache2-default/manual(?:/(?:de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$
"/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/$1"
AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$
"/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/$1"
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
SetHandler type-map
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)/ prefer-language=$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$
/manual/$1$2
BTW - what distro are you on?
