Framing web pages
by Jonathan Hutchins 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

I have a client who is concerned that there are other web sites that are taking his content and placing it within frames on their web site as if it were their own. I know I've seen this happen, and I think I've seen "click here if someone has this site framed" buttons or some such. Does anyone know of a way to prevent the pages from being grabbed in a frame to begin with?

Ok, I can't guarantee that this actually works for everybody, it seems to be an assembly of broken things, but: http://movies.glozy.com/portal.htm Click on "Horror" on the right, use the internal scroll bar to scroll down to Little Shop of Horrors. Clicking on the 68k link gives me the page for "Fire Over England from emol.org - you can see our links at the bottom of the page. It's actually pulling the pages from the internet archives ( http://ia300032.us.archive.org/ ), so we're not even loosing bandwidth. We might be loosing add revenue if we're getting paid by referrer tracking, but if we have our own tag included in the link we would get credit for it.

DVD Authoring
by Billy Crook 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

OK, so now that we know the list isn't broken, just quiet, I thought I'd throw a topic out there to get some input. What's the best DVD authoring software for linux? Preferably, I'd want something GUI-based that you can make menus and add video clips or directories of pictures as slide shows and outputs to an ISO file I can burn with my program of choice. Below, are the programs I've tried. Avidemux: I can't figure out what exactly it's even supposed to do. Re-sampling/re-encoding video maybe, but not dvd-authoring. Cinnelera: This app feels REALLY clunky, and while it got much kudos from TLLTS, I can't get it to do anything useful. When I start it, it says to run "echo "0x7fffffff" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax". So I do that, and try to restart it, and it doesn't even come up! I see a window titled "[x]" on the taskbar, but until I kill off that window, i can't even launch the applications menu to find another program. QDVDAuthor: Depends on QTDevel, any one of xine, vlc, or mplayer, and dvd-slideshow. Looks like they put as much work into the compiler/installer as they did into the app itself. It's kind of touchy, and I still haven't gotten it to do what I want, but haven't given up yet. DVDBaker: Haven't tried it yet DVD-Slideshow: CLI, which I would normally prefer, but it doesn't make sense in my head to create a graphical work through a text interface. I only downloaded and installed this because it was a dependency of QDVDAuthor DVDStyler: I can't figure out how to import a directory of pictures. It looks like a nice clean program, and outputs to an ISO like I want. However, when I try to make a disk of a video, I get "**ERROR: [mplex] Too many frame drops -exiting. Error executing of command: mplex -f 8 -S 0 -o "/home/BCrook/Desktop/dvdstyler/title0- 0-0.vob" "/home/BCrook/Desktop/dvdstyler/title0-0-0-0.m1v" "/home/BCrook/Desktop/dvdstyler/title0-0-0-0.mp2"" ExFalso: WTF. I don't even get what it's supposed to do. Kino: I like it. It's probably the best yet for editing video sequences. However, I don't know about picture galleries, and I can't figure out to get an ISO out of it. AND, the AUDIO IS OUT OF SYNC! So I can't use it. It also had to convert the mpg files into dv files, which I'm OK with, but maybe that conversion caused the audio to be out of sync. Also on a humorous side-note, when you're on a plane with 80% battery remaining, don't start up all these tools at once in their own workspace. Even with 4 gigs of ram, when they're all trying to load up or inport 500 megs of media, it ties up the system for some time. -Billy

Re: OK, if it is too quiet

Sorry, just got home to check my email. Interesting ideas and I'll have to check them out. I do know once I boot the "bad" OSes the partitions are hosed. Even the "good" OSes can't see them afterwards. So the OSes seem to do something to the drive. It happens in the booting of the kernel, whatever it is. If I reinstall a "good" OS and re-partition the hard drive the OS boots just fine. I put in the "bad" OS boot disk and it seems to find the hard drive and the partitions OK. But once the install is done and the OS boots it complains and the partitions are lost. Really irritating. If I can get this 300G IDE HD to work OK on a different system I'm going to forget the whole thing. Don't have time to play too much.

Why would a new 300G hard drive format and run Windows 2000 fine, load and run Trustix Linux 2.2 and 3.0.5 fine, load CentOS 4.4 and Ubuntu 6.06 TLS fine but when it comes time to boot them give a "Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical sector 0" and then fail to recognize any of the partitions?

Don't know, just installed the defaults. Since I cannot boot the CentOS or Ubuntu installes I can't even check to see what I've installed. MB is a Biostar 6100-939. The 300G HD is an IDE drive. Swapped it out for a newer SATA drive and it works fine. This weekend I'll put the 300G IDE in a different PC with a different MB and try it out.

Perhaps there's something funny with the ide controller that centos and ubuntu don't cope with by default, but the others do?

Looking for an install assist - happy to pay
by gregb＠west-third.com 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Greetings, all... I need some quick sysadmin/consultant aid and thought this would be the best place to turn. I need a mail and web server set up: * More-or-less typical LAMP functionality. Bonus if there's web-based config of virtual domains, etc. * The MTA of your choice as long as I can easily (think: web-based admin) configure and administer multiple domains in a setup that won't get used as an open relay. Antispam/antivirus as well. * No need for DNS; I run all that out of a third party. * Webmail - Squirrelmail but, again, I'm not picky. You'll start with a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy Eft (server edition) and SSH config'd so you can log in. However, I'm pretty OS agnostic - truthfully, I'm most comfortable with FreeBSD but whatever makes you happy. This is more a matter of time than anything for me - I'm swamped. And probably, if I'm going to be honest, I'm good enough to get it set up on the fourth or fifth try - but not the first or second. Makes more sense to pay someone to get it done right the first time. If interested, drop me a line at gregb(a)west-third.com and we can figure out the details. Thanks, Greg Brooks

Generic Remote Desktop Client
by Billy Crook 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Throughout the course of a business day, I connect to any number of terminal servers, VNC servers, and citrix servers (citrix applications). I use krdc for the first two, and actually found a citrix client for linux for the last. I would like to use one application for all of these remote-graphical-desktop things though. I like krdc because it does RDP and VNC, and can scale the window and switch easily to view-only mode. AND, I want something that will accept username and password from a command line argument. Even better would be if it could auto-determine what kind of server its connecting to. If there were just three programs that could scale the window, accept username, password, and domain as arguments and indicate success or failure via return code, I'd write a bash script to do shit, and share it with you guys. I just don't know where to get the client software.
