how to record your screen with the sound emitted from the loudspeakers

2010-07-22T12:43:00.000-07:00

you have to install pavucontrol and ffmpeg

use the following command line (change it to your needs)

[utilisateur@ordi ~]$ ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -t 01:26:05 -s 562x318 -i   :0.0+376,347 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast   -threads 0 /media/data/output.mkv

This will record the screen 562 pixels wide, 318 pixels high starting at 346 pixels from the left and 347 pixels from the top

when the ffmpeg is recording, pavucontrol has to be set this way :

To record in full screen :

[utilisateur@ordi  ~]$ ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -t 00:20:33 -s 1024x768 -i  :0.0+nomouse -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast  -threads 0 /media/data/output.mkv

To record only the sound coming from the speakers en 44 Khz et 128 kbits et écraser (le fichier précédent):

[utilisateur@ordi ~]$ ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k -y record_sound.mp3

Povray and compiz

Renommer toutes les photos à la volée

2010-04-13T13:48:00.000-07:00

Ce script, placé dans le répertoire d'origine, descend récursivement dans chaque répertoire et de renommer toutes les images d'appareil photo numérique et le renomme en
AAAA-MM-JJ-heure-minute-seconde.jpg
exemple : 2006-07-01-17h36m30s.jpg

A moins d'utiliser le mode rafale, ca ne doit pas poser de problèmes
(il faudra inclure un test si deux fichiers ont le même nom)

#!/bin/bash
find . -type d | while read N
do
(
cd "$N"
if test "$?" = "0"
then
exiv2 -v -f -r'%Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mm%Ss' rename $(ls *)
fi
)
done

Une autre version modifiée qui tient en une seule ligne :
find . -iname "*.*" -exec exiv2 -r %Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mm%Ss mv {} \;

verbose du dd

2010-04-13T01:16:00.000-07:00

Started a dd but wondering what the progress is? I haven’t found a way to do a verbose mode for dd, but this command seems to do the trick.

Lets start off by creating a dd of /dev/sda1

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=my-dd.img

We’ll need to find the process number of our dd which can easily be done with the following command.

ps -ef | grep dd

we’ll get something like this

root 31733 31268 54 10:44 pts/0 00:01:55 dd of my-dd.img

Now we can run our command to find the status of this dd. Open another terminal session.

kill -SIGUSR1 31733

and looking back at our dd page we should see dd dump out a status of its current progress.

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=my-dd.img
12574781+40555 records in
12601304+0 records out
6451867648 bytes (6.5 GB) copied, 224.634 s, 28.7 MB/s

Accelerate Linux with prelink

2010-04-12T13:46:00.000-07:00

as root type :

[root@ordi ~]# prelink -havfmR

This is going to take a while to prelink
all the binaries installed on your hard drive

To accelerate KDE loading under Mandriva
Type :

[root@ordi ~]# echo "export KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1" >> /etc/profile.d/70kde4.sh

[root@ordi ~]# chmod +x /etc/profile.d/70kde4.sh

Wrong screen size for diskdrake started from live install

2009-04-07T09:28:00.000-07:00

When I click on live install, I choose custom partitionning :

I get this window : The partitions are not easily readable because they are too small. The window is 541x377 pixel

Even if I widen the window, all the contents fits accordingly, but the partitions remain at the same size

If I start live-install, and widen the window as below..

... This time the partitions are readable

By default, the size of diskdrake started from a command line on my system is 624x411

First, here are a few templates you will find in this page:

This is what you type in a console :

# This is what you type in a console as root

$ This is what you type in a console as user

This is the content of a file :

/location/of/the/file

This is the content of the file

UPDATE WITH URPMI at http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/
I first update all the packages
For that, you need to know your kernel. With the installation of the ATI driver, URPMI might ask you which kernel you are using. Do in a console :

# uname -a

The result on my computer is :
Linux localhost 2.6.17-13mdv #1 SMP Fri Mar 23 19:03:31 UTC 2007 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz GNU/Linux

With the installation of the ATI, urpmi might ask you your kernel name
Once you have all the lines from the webpage, the best is to copy them all in a file (ie update)

~update

SUSPEND
#################" no longer needed for Mandriva 2007.1 ##########################
When using the suspend mode(FN+esc), the laptop goes into sleep -> no problem
When you power it on again (power button), you get a blank screen
You just have to modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so and add Option "VBERestore" "true"
It should look something like :
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "ati"
Option "DPMS"
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "1"
Option "VBERestore" "true"

Now, once X has been restarted (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)
On my laptop, it takes about 20 secondes for the screen to return to life.
