That is... odd. Maybe it's not compatible with the big ones? I doubt that's it, but i got nothing else. Sorry.

In the interest of spring cleaning... at what point do you ditch old software boxes/manuals/discs? I have a bookcase of stuff. Games. Work Apps. Utilities. All from Mac OS8 and earlier. The Pac-rat in me is saying "NNoooooo!!!". But I have books and no shelf space, and the new books cry "but what about there" (yes, the books talk to me. They are all my precious)
my macbook pro is 2 years old & I run it constantly, with all sorts of apps open at the same time. There have been a couple of battery issues lately, but then I got around to installing updates last night. This morning? The battery flatlined about 2 minutes after I launched, and is showing a varying number of charge times.
anyone seen this before?
also - flip cameras have video and audio... right? I just read something somewhere that made it seem as if you'd need a nano with a mike option as well.

Yes. I think what you're thinking of is the flip vs. hd camera smackdown that Kat posted in Natter, where the guy did capture audio on a nano (to get better/stereo/whatever sound, I guess?) and edit it in later, but they definitely do have audio out of the box.
I just posted this in Natter, but the built-in mic on the Flip is crap - it's the only thing about the camera I really dislike. It's on the back of the camera, which makes it really good at picking up the shooter's voice and really shitty at picking up the sounds coming from the thing you're filming. It's acceptable for home movies, but to do anything semi-professional with it you'd want an external audio rig.
Okay. In Vista, it says that my Ubuntu box is in the workgroup MSHOME, and the network location is Velvet. On the Linux box the workgroup parameter is set to Velvet. When I run smbclient it tidily shows me all the right shares and then says that the Ubuntu box is the master of MSHOME.
I'm kinda confused. Is the goal for the Ubuntu box to be in the velvet workgroup?
Here is my configuration (it's Fedora, but that shouldn't matter) for samba that does three public shares. In the workgroup 'WORKGROUP'.
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = MythTV Computer hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 dns proxy = no winbind uid = 16777216-33554431 winbind gid = 16777216-33554431 restrict anonymous = no domain master = no preferred master = no max protocol = NT ldap ssl = No server signing = Auto[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no printable = yes
[MYTHMUSIC] path = /storage/media/mythmusic guest ok = yes read only = no
[MYTHPICS] path = /storage/media/mythpics/ guest ok = yes read only = no
[MYTHVIDEO] path = /storage/media/mythvideo/ guest ok = yes read only = no
The server string would be the source of the server description.
Yes. I want Ubuntu in Velvet. Here is the relevant part of my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = VELVET
server string = Home base
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
[Music]
comment = Shared Music
path = /shared/music
read only = No
And there are a bunch of other shares that follow. When I run smbclient, though, I get this:
Domain=[BLAISE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Home base) print$ Disk Printer Drivers Downloads Disk Downloaded from the Internet Video Disk Shared Video HTML Disk Shared HTML Images Disk Shared graphics and images Music Disk Shared Music homes Disk Home Directories ita Disk Home Directories Domain=[BLAISE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
Server Comment --------- -------
Workgroup Master --------- ------- MSHOME BLAISE VELVET ZOE
Where Blaise is the Ubuntu box, and Zoe the Vista one.
Samba is not picking up the configuration. Is there any chance that the computer hasn't been rebooted or samba re-init'd since making the change?
