Editing Images With Pinta
Author: CSch • Tags: debian, fedora, mandriva, suse, ubuntu, centos, desktop, pclinuxos • Comments: 14Editing Images With Pinta This article is about how to use the Pinta graphical editor to edit pictures and covers some of its most important features. Pinta is a lightweight image editor for Linux and is far more easier to handle than Gimp but still has a large variety of tools and features to use. It can be used for quick editing like resizing images or adjusting the colours of photographs, but also for more professional tasks which depend on layered images and more. It is a good mixture between MS Paint and professional image editing tools and is recommendable for most purposes of image-editing-everyday-use.

Integrate Video Streaming Into Your C/C++ Application Using Nex Gen Media Server API
Author: sanyoliu1 • Tags: ubuntu, c-programming • Comments: 2Integrate Video Streaming Into Your C/C++ Application Using Nex Gen Media Server API Recently I took a closer look at Nex Gen Media Server and their API framework. NGMS is a multi-purpose streaming server which supports some of the popular streaming protocols such as RTSP, RTMP, Apple's HTTP Live, and MPEG-2 Transport Stream. NGMS comes with transcoding support and is able to capture and reformat live video streams and adapt them to be received by another type of device, such as capturing an HD video feed and converting it to be received by an iPhone over 3g. My focus was to integrate the NGMS API to control the streaming features directly from my own C application. In this example I am using Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

Ripping An MP3 CD On Linux Mint 11

Tags: ubuntu, desktop •
Comments: 0 Ripping An MP3 CD On Linux Mint 11 This article describes how to rip music off an audio CD in acceptable shape with a moderate bitrate and in MP3 format on Linux Mint 11. There are are numerous ways of ripping a CD on Linux, but not all of them provide the standard comfort one should have, for instance a fairly high bitrate for your music, so that it does not sound like hammering on a trashcan with an iron spoon, or automated fetching of disk and track information from the internet, so you do not have to do it all manually. The way I describe should provide all these things, however it may be that if you are ripping a rather unknown audio disk, there is no data about it on the CD database.

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04

Tags: debian, ubuntu, web server, nginx •
Comments: 6 Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04 This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this. I will outline three solutions: the first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server that has CGI support, while the second and third solution are very similar - both use a CGI wrapper to serve CGI scripts.

Lessfs 1.5 On CentOS 5
Author: ExocTBlid •
Tags: centos •
Comments: 2 Lessfs 1.5 On CentOS 5 For this HowTo I used a VirtualBox with CentOS 5.7 x86_64. I attached a separate 20GB Data drive mounted to /data. This will hold the lessfs DB and data. The lessfs mountpoint I put at /lessfs. This is a very basic setup, just to get it running. There is plenty of tuning to be done based on volume size, file types, and compression choices. The latest lessfs required more recent versions of fuse and tokyocabinet than was in the CentOS repository, so I chose to install most of this from source.
