How to play Moser Baer DVDs on Ubuntu 9.04

I observed that some people were facing issues while trying to play a Moser Baer (Super DVD) movie DVD on Ubuntu 9.04.
Some times even though all codecs are installed, somehow VLC/totem wont play the DVD. The only suggestion to fix this is to do this:

Go to VLC media player
tools>preferences> videotab
and set the video output to X11 video output.
This *may* help to play those DVDs.

Automount Hard disk on Ubuntu 9.04

I found that Ubuntu 9.04 wasn't auto-mounting hard disk drives on boot.In earlier versions I had to edit /etc/fstab to mount itself on boot.This was quiet tricky as messing with fstab wasn't a good idea.But in this release its lot easier.
In a terminal enter

$sudo apt-get install pysdm

[or it can done through synaptic also]

then in the terminal enter
$pysdm

then the gui pops up and select all the drives you wish to mount on boot and you are all set!

Amarok 2 unable to play audio files on Ubuntu 9.04-Solved

Soon after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04(Review coming soon!) I found that Amarok 2 was unable to play any kind of audio files.

When I opened amarok from a terminal I was getting this error

[snip]
link XMLID_7_ hasn't been detected!
Couldn't resolve property: radialGradient3986
[/snip]

Some threads suggest to install phonon-xine-backend, but Kubuntu is already shipped with phonon backend.

After posting my problem in launchpad I found this solution
just type this in a command line

[code]
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
[/code]

then Amarok will be back in full swing!

However I'm not all that satisfied with Amarok 2 as I was with earlier versions.
Any way I hope this helps somebody.

I learned this trick from Suhas, thank u mate!

ತೇಜನೊಬ್ಬ ನಾಮ ಹಲವು!

ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರು "ಪೂರ್ಣತೇಜ ಘಟ್" , ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಹೆಸರು. ಆದ್ರೆ ಇದೇನು "ತೇಜನೊಬ್ಬ ನಾಮ ಹಲವು!" ಅಂತ ಯೋಚನೆಯೆ?
ಇಲ್ಲಿದೆ ನೊಡೀ ನನ್ನ ವ್ಯತೆಯ ಕಥೆ...

ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಇದುವರೆಗು ಕೇವಲ ಕೆಲವೇ ಜನರು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದರೆ/ಉಚ್ಚರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯದು.
ನಾನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದಾಗಲಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರಿನ ವಿಧಾವಿಚಿತ್ರ Version ಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಅವು:

ಪೂರ್ಣ ನೋ---ಹೂರ್ಣ ನೋ?
ಪುರ್ನಾ ತೇಜ
ಪೂನಾ ತೇಜ
ಪೂರ್ಣ ತೇಜ್
ಪೂರ್ಣ ಜೀತಾ
ಪರ್ನಿತರಾಜ್
ಪೂರನ್ ತೇಜ್
ಪುರಾ ತೇಹಾ
ತೇಜ್

ಇದೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ನನ್ನ ಕರ್ಣಾನಂದವಾಗಿ ನನ್ನ ಗುರುಗಳು ಹೇಳುತಿದ್ದ "ದೇವನೊಬ್ಬ ನಾಮ ಹಲವು"ಅಂದರೇನು ಎಂದು ಅರ್ಥವಾಯಿತು.

ನನಗೆ ನಾಮಕರಣ ಮಾಡಲು ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿ ಕಷ್ಟ ಪಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದಾಗಲು ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ನನ್ನನು "ಪೂರ್ಣತೇಜ" ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಿರಿ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಪ್ರಾರ್ತಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

EW-FSUG's successfull BOOT!

Reception of Guest

Introduction by HOD


Keen audience(in full hall)

Some command line demonstrations

Today we successfully inaugurated the EWIT-Free Software Users Group in our campus. The efforts behind it span from as long as 2 years as I know.Long back our seniors did have an un-official LUG, which never met even once!But we some how managed to BOOT the FSUG after 4 semesters of repeated attempts. The weired part about this group is that it was initiated by a set of Electronics students like me.

Our group was inaugurated by Dr.Renuka Prasad and addressed us about the Free Software philosophy and showed us some interesting alternatives to proprietary software.Later Madhusudhan and Santosh(from BMSCE) inspired and motivated us by sharing their experience they had in GSoc and FOSS with us. But the time crunch made the talk shallow.

Totally it turned out to be a good start for our group.In the near future our group plans to promote Free Software in our campus including our hostel.
