It unfortunately depends on dvd-slideshow as most other graphical apps do, and therefore is broken in Ubuntu hardy (and when not broken would produce the ugliest text imaginable, as far as I can tell). -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Re: DVD slideshow creation
Hi Mary, Another app you can try is ManDVD http://www.getdeb.net/app/ManDVD This also makes very groovy DVD menus etc. Weirdly, I cannot find the app at: www.kde-apps.org where it normally is. I'm not sure what's happening. Another way (unless you're already au fai with this) is to use Kino to create an mpeg and then create a DVD from that...people can pause on what they wish - but of course they can't select the order in which they'd like to see images. That said, ManDVD creates some very nice DVDs. HTH. Regards, Patrick Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 12:44:38 +1000 Hi all, Is there any mature-ish DVD creation software for Linux that does not depend on dvd-slideshow? Problems with dvd-slideshow: 1. it needs to be patched on Ubuntu to actually work with current versions of ffmpeg and sox (oh for the benefit of people coming in from Google it's got a missing dependency on at least libsox-fmt-sndfile and possibly other libsox-fmt-* files) -Mary -- Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] grep question
Hi I want to look at a config file that uses ; as comments, but I want to look at everything that is not a commented line so I tried grep -v '^\W*;' which sort of works, except it leaves me with blank lines now, how can I not show the blank lines -- "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings.

Have you looked into tracking the processes instead of the files? Can you identify a single process who's life-span matches the time that the files are being created? --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

For the archive, this is where I finished up - seems to work so far: while inotifywait -e close somefile; do while lsof foo/*.tif > /dev/null ; do sleep 10# because they are big files done rm foo/*.tif done [1] I wonder about timing issues. "somefile" is a 3 byte counter which is the first thing updated by another program, which then creates the tif files. I want my script to do it's thing after all that. What happens if the lsof test happens before the tif files are first opened for writing? Am I worrying too much? I've put a sleep into in case that's a problem.

[SLUG] Re: DVD slideshow creation
Looks like the way to do it is to drop down a level and use dvdauthor directly, which has the nice side effect that if the menus are awful looking it's all my fault. How to do it involves interleaving information from http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6953 (older, but handy) and http://en.dahnielson.com/2003/12/dvd-author-primer.html Once I fix all the woeful anti-aliasing in dvd-slideshow, it's probably OK for producing a MPEG file for each chapter, which can then be combined using a custom menu with dvdauthor. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
