Need some help on AV, specifically, using my monitor as a TV
by Andrew Thoreson 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

This is kinda hard to sum up neatly, so I'm sorry the title is somewhat confusing. Basically, I'm wondering if it would be possible to hook up devices that would normally go to a TV to my computer and then watch them on that. For example, hook up my Wii, and then have the video from that show up in a window (or fullscreen), so that I can use my monitor instead of my TV, and I can take screenshots of it. If this is possible, what kind of hardware would I need to take a video-in signal, and what programs would be able to have it stay in a window and/or run it in fullscreen? Also, potentially, record video. I've seen some distros that are made to function as DVRs/media devices, but I'd prefer to keep my Ubuntu install that I have now. I've seen some talk of setting up TV tuners, but those seem to just receive broadcast signals, which isn't really what I'm looking for.

Iron Man remix possibly derogatory of Linux?

Is anyone using newer (~ 1 year or newer) video cards that are supported by some flavor of linux? If so, do you have any comments? I'm researching for a new box, so any info is appreciated. TIA Tim Reid

Interesting how they cite, but ignore this part: A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a ''derivative work''. How is a "plug-in" or "driver" any different from an elaboration?

:What Linux tool can print from MS Publisher? And retain formatting.too. Google has been no help
by Oren Beck 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Ok- this one is a real brick wall so far. Every lead seems to be a not quite ready. What does anyone on the list know about a Linux based tool to at minimum print from MS Publisher 2002 or so? -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

OCR
by bewkard 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

I have finally had it with paperwork. This last tax season did me in. I've talked to a couple people about using OCR to store documents digitally. I know that a few people on the list do this as well. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips about what works and what doesn't work. Is it better to OCR things? is it better to scan and save a PDF or some other portable document? Again, TIA Tim

A question on the "read only" kernel details.
by Oren Beck 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

In a long past architecture the "OS" was in hardware based literal ROM. And a further question came up that shows my ignorance of real applied usages. The full experiment is in direct result of my NOT knowing in advance how to make this work.And wanting to have it for daily use if it does. Since it has become trivial to run Ramdisk Distros I am planning on an experiment. Recently I noticed several USB cards have one or more ports facing towards the INSIDE of the case. The logical to me use will be loading some bootable from USB drive version onto a properly sized flash drive. So far it looks like a "so what" trivial re-inventing trip. This is more my asking for direction in both WHICH distro is suited to do this with and some help in directions for making it do what is needed for this. The devil for me is in the details of altering that installed distro so it can use a drive not part of the same one it lives on. YES this appears to be a tangent or even restatement of the post RE: OS and Data isolation. This is a case detached from that for a different reason. Flash memories of some cheaper design have limited write cycles. Having the OS on a flash drive that only gets written to when the OS itself is changed as in moving from a 5.x up to 7.06 type change. So the flash will not be "worn out" -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645
