The Lost World.. Experiments to survive…

Everyone ought to have some parts in their lives they want really to remember n keep in memories..For most of them it turns out to be their graduate years..Looking past through the last four years..i could tell the same is true for me too..a small college n its environment, really a blessed period of time.I could always think back of it like that.

What i really gonna miss will be my friends..not much really i ve only very few…the round corner meetings at evenings,hostel jokes,exams,common ventures,unslept talkative nights, walking through the streets at late midnights …..and above all the little happy smiling faces which makes me pleasant…the feeling of equality n the wanderings together with the friends and the feeling that everybody is together with you..

Now it seems that we are stepping out to a new environment to begin everything from scratch again..with all those experiences that we  gained..didn’t know what lies ahead…n in truth thats the fact that drives us along ..to see what the future has in store for you..

Open movie editor is a simple tool to edit vedios in linux..it is capable for creating .mov.mp4 and 3gp files..

I installed it on my Etch fom the sid repositories..

Worked well..

Nice

More details are available at www.openmovieeditor.org

I got an error

“E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room”

trying to sort out that

its being becoz my /var is filling out

so moved

/var/cache/apt/archives to my other hard drive…

now i need to perform a clean up

apt-get clean

But didnt helped……..again got it like this

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occurred while processing notification-daemon-xfce (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

This is caused because apt’s cache is too small to handle all of the packages that are included.

Adding the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Cache-Limit "20000000";

solved the problem

Installing from unstable repositories

Here is a good page about Apt

http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html

Im using Debian Etch and i wanted to install from new versions of Debian Sid, &Lenny

Before beginning make sure that your sources.lst have appropriate new repositories

Acording to above page there are two ways .. Here is the commands

1. apt-get install <package>/unstable

This will install the unstable version of the package, and try to meet any dependencies from Stable. This may not work, but it will tell you why

2. apt-get -t unstable install <package>

This will install the Unstable version of the package, and try to meet any dependencies from Unstable. This may produce better results.

I installed Open Movie Editor using this method it worked but it removed my kerenel headers

Hey, my university exams ..final ones.. are going on ..n todays exam was really tough for me (Audio Video Engineering)still i couldnt help switching on my pc and looking for something to do..then i came across Amarok the player.. i discovered that i could install several scripts in Amarok via Tools –> Script manager.

since i switched from Gtalk on windows to Debian Etch..I missed the Gtalk feature of setting my status as the current played song in Gaim multimesssenger(It had no default options for it, and I couldnt install pidgin becoz of some unresolvable dependencies).

I found amarokgaim script could solve this problem I downloaded it from

http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/AmarokGaim-Download-19396.html

and opened the script manager and clicked install new script and installed it..

But when i ran it to my disappointment it crashed..i looked at the error details..it said “no module named dbus” i copy pasted it to google and the first page came up said it could be the absence of the package “python-dbus”

I quickly took synaptic package manager and searched and found python-dbus not installed so marked n installed it frm DVD1 .It solved my problem.

Now i ran the script from the script manager ..n Hurray my Gaim updated its status with my current playing songs name..
