Then Choose your country and your keyboard configuration, if you’re not sure you can type on the bottom-left box to try. And then click “Forward”.

Then wait for the partitioner to load.

Never wished of running Amarok in Windows?
With the open source software Ulteo Virtual Desktop you can now use KDE software in windows working with coLinux wich permit to run linux on a windows session.

It’ll help you to install them and even update them.

It’s still a Beta so there is few glitches like the support of the dual-screen wich is very weird and it takes a lot of time to start, with an annoying blinking splash screen, but that works quite well and applications are very smooth.

Founded by former Mandrake creator Gael Duval, Ulteo is also the name of a Linux Distribution: Online Desktop.

The Samsung YP-K5 can read the OGG format, but you can’t use it on Linux when you just bought it.
To make it works in UMS and use it with Linux You must do (You’ll need a computer with windows XP):

WARNING: SAVE YOUR DATA FIRST!!!

*Download the firmware on this page:
HERE

(The firmware proposed on the other countries pages are not good)

* Extract the package
* Copy the three files on the root of the player
* Unmount It
* Switch it on, the firmware should install
* Switch it on again
* You could have a message saying that you will delete a 18MB file
* Plug the player on your computer
* Now it should appears like a USB Disk
* Format it
* Unmount the player
* Switch it on
2 possibilities:

* It works but it’s in Korean, it’s quite easy to browse and change the language
* It doesn’t work, copy the 3 files on the player’s root and repeat the procedure. (It took me three attempt before it works)

After installing Beryl, when you open a new window, sometimes it appears all black, which is very frustrating.
Here it’s two easy steps on how to deal with this bug with NVidia graphic cards.

1) To handle this, you must install beryl manager
sudo apt-get install beryl-manager

(this line is for Ubuntu, it can change depending your distro and your package manager)

2) Right-click on the beryl-manager tray icon
Advanced Beryl Options/ Rendering Path / Copy

And it works perfectly.
It can affect performances, but with a NVidia 6600GT, no differences, except there is no more Black Screen

Following the blog “How to rip the audio from a DVD with Ubuntu Linux” I had to convert my mp3 files in ogg.

MP3 is a proprietary format, you’re “supposed” to pay a fee when you want your player to read it. You can read a lot more about this problem in Wikipedia.

Ogg Vorbis is an open source format. Sadly it is not as popular, but there is portable audio player, like the Samsung YP-K5J who can read ogg and you can read them on your computer.

Convert MP3 in OGG Vorbis

First we will install a little script made by Nathan Walp: mp32ogg

sudo apt-get install mp32ogg

It’s done, now to convert a file, open a terminal and do:

mp32ogg --quality=10 --delete --rename=%t /home/Musiques/file.mp3

Warning: it will delete the original file!! (remove “–delete” if you don’t want).
