K3b error: Found invalid entry in the video_ts folder

I was trying to burn a Video DVD in k3b and had the error:

Found invalid entry in the video_ts folder Could not write temporary file

The solution to this was instead of dragging the VIDEO_TS folder into the burning area click the VIDEO_TS folder on the left of project area and drag the individual .vob, .ifo and .bup files to the right and click burn. This is not limited to a particular distribution.

Watch Tv episodes and Movies Online

We have all watched Tv videos and movies online, the video is mostly choppy and the quality not that good, I found a site which has some very good quality videos with most of the latest stuff. They also have a player which combines vlc in it meaning you will pretty much be able to play anything out there. It also has a handy feature as it also enables tou to download your movies for offline viewing or streaming them in HD quality.

Date Edited Auto-Update

I was using dreamweaver to edit my webpages which uses it’s own auto update on save date code<!– #BeginDateformat:Am1 –>May 5, 2005<!– #EndDate –> (Dreamweaver’s Auto-Update-on-Save Date Code). When I switched to bluefish as my main editor the auto update code wouldn’t work. So I looked around and found a php code to get the same thing done. Just place it anywhere you want the date to appear

<?php echo date(‘F j, Y’, filemtime(__FILE__));?>

If you want to store it to a variable you can do

$variable_date = date(‘F j, Y’, filemtime(__FILE__));

You can exchange filemtime with filectime if you want to display the date the file was created.

Barack wins the el ection

The night of November 4th 2008 will go down in history as the first black president of America was chosen by the people of America. I would be a bad Kenyan if forgot to mention that his father came from Kenya, the scenes of Kenyans celebrating in the streets as the victory was announced was unforgettable. In case you missed the speech here it is I have watched it like ten times now and every other day its played over on the radio in his own words I leave you with this words Yes We Can.

Grub Error 17

I was trying to dual boot my machine and used the hide command on a linux partition on reboot grub started loading then stopped giving me the Error 17. I was able to resolve it after checking this site out.

This error can aslo be caused if you cange out HD’s without abdating the changes in grub or you overwrite a linux partition with windows in which case you can run fdisk /mbr from any rescue disk.

Imap: Fatal: listen(993) failed: Address alr eady in use

Booted the server the other day and got the message that dovecot can’t start because listen address 993 was already in use.

Any logins to squirrelmail received an error message. To solve this I run the command

lsof -i :993

This will list the application listening on the particular port and you can go ahead and kill it or assign it a different port. Remember to change the port number (993) to whatever port your imap server or whatever program you are troubleshooting is supposed to be listening on.
To start dovecot the command is:

/etc/init.d/dovecot start
