How to convert a video file to an iso to burn to dvd

Posted 06-17-2011 at 12:35 AM by gruven

I have been looking for this stuff for a while, and while it is out there, the documentation is fragmented. I am posting here the steps that I am using to create dvds from regular video files with completely free software. I use Linux, and I don't know if the tools are available in Windows or not.

Dual Booting Linux Mint and Ubuntu

Posted 06-16-2011 at 07:23 AM by megasaputra

Finally, I can install Ubuntu 11.04. Although I have to install Linux Mint 11 in the second for dual booting. In Linux Mint, there is not addition 'nomodeset' command line in recovery mode. So, I add this command. Then I can boot Linux Mint.
In Ubuntu, there is not addition 'xforcevesa' command line in recovery mode like in Linux Mint. Then I add this when installing Ubuntu. After that, I can install successfully. Then, the computer must restart. Then for the first time, Ubuntu can boot....

add users to linux without using useradd!!

Posted 06-15-2011 at 03:21 PM by bsl4ever

Hi all,

do you guys know how to add a user to a linux box without using useradd?
I'm working on a project to disect the process of adding users, but can't use useradd command.
I know this involves modifying couple of files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, etc..
but i'm sure there is more to it.
I couldn't find useradd source code which would answered this question.

Thanks.
