Just recently I needed to edit videos and I'm a layman in this field had some difficulties.Among various tools I tried, the simplest and quickest way to learn was the OpenShot.
The installation of this tool for Debian distributions can be done through Synaptic it is in the repositories. If you prefer to install "a la pata" is as follows: sudo apt-get installOpenShot.
The features available are not many, but for many users (like me) arrives perfectly.


features:
Cut pieces of the video;
Add tags in the video;
Multiple bands;
effects;
transitions;
Import video, images and sounds;
Undo changes;
Export to various video formats;

How to put a video on a track:
(1) Click on the icon + (plus) and choose the video;
(2) Move the video imported onto the track at the outset;
(3) can add other video, pictures and even music files / sounds;

How to cut pieces of video:
(1) pick-and functionality divide and clicking with the mouse at the beginning and end of the piece to remove;
(2) Clicking the right mouse button over the video piece and remove;

Add a picture:
(1) Click on the icon + (plus) and choose the image;
(2) Move the image to the track where if you want to place;

Add effects and transitions:
(1) Just select the transition and move up the track to the site, where you want the transition;
(2) In effect, it is the same thing, but this is all in the band, or piece of track if it is divided;


Export:
Although you can export to many different formats, I will present the simplest and Iworked flawlessly.
(1) File -> Export Video -> Tab: Simple -> Profile: DVD -> Destination: DVD-NTSC ->Video Profile: DV-NTSC -> Quality: High -> Export.

Today I had a problem installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 16 (CM16) with a portable screen 10 "because the operating system can not detect the resolution and that it should use. The image was so poor he could not even read the text presented.

To overcome the problem follow these steps:

     I called a TFT monitor to the laptop and carried out the installation as usual;
     Once installed the CM16, I had to make the resolution setting the screen, manually in xorg.conf file:
         vi / etc/X11/xorg.conf (if no, it is created);
          Paste the following information:

                  Section "Device"

                  Identifier "Video Device Configured"

                  Driver "OpenChrome"

                  option "PanelSize" "1024x600"

                  option "ForcePanel"

                  EndSection

         Restart.

This problem happened to me on a laptop (type NetPC) brand Elonex Webbook. This solution resulted in CM16, but probably also work on Debian based distros (Ubuntu, etc).

The subject today is again Dropbox. I've been just describing a problem I had with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) 64bit with this tool. The problem was that after the OS update,Dropbox longer boot!
To resolve, in my case resulted, can eliminate the Dropbox folder settings in your user,which should be / home /% user% /. dropbox.

rm-rf ~ /. .dropbox

After returning to run the Dropbox that will lead you to the setup wizard and here only have to look out at the stage where he can for you to choose the folder location"Dropbox. " If they choose the same location, is detected equal another folder, thenselect the option "Merge. "

They may know more about Dropbox here. or if they wish to install may do so by this hyperlink.

This article serves to try to resolve some cases where they have problems in setting up wireless networks (RSF), with an Intel PRO / Wireless 3945ABG.
I think that whoever installed Debian in a more manual, ie the installation image Netinst, as was my case, you may have this problem. If you followed the article I published (see here) and have a FSR of this model, which surely must have had this problem.

Resolution:
Add the following repository to / etc / apt / sources.list, if you have not already:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free

apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

Restart the PC, and now you should see the card when RSF running ifconfig.
From here you just add the network through NetworkManager GUI application.

Some useful commands:
iwconfig - shows the interfaces of the active RSF.
ifconfig - Shows the configuration of network interfaces.
ifconfig wlan0 - Shows the interface configuration RSF wlan0.
ifconfig eth0 down - Disables the network interface eth0 wired

The Tucan is an application manager, very light, which has the ability to manage the transfer of hosts (hosters) as rapidshare, megaupload, gigasize, among others. The utilitarians also manages the waiting times that are normally charged to unregistered users.

Use:
Just copy and paste the addresses of the hosts links to Tucan, then "Verify" link and then add.

Installation:
- Debian / Ubuntu / Kubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tucan


- Can also be efecuada via synaptic.

O Dropbox é uma ferramenta que sincroniza ficheiros entre vários computadores, tenham eles, Linux, Windows, MAC, ou mesmo iPhone*.
O funcionamento é muito simples, e passa por existir um serviço a correr em memória que sincroniza uma pasta seleccionada durante a instalação com um servidor remoto. Assim, sempre que se dá uma alteração dentro dessa pasta, o serviço vai sincronizar com o servidor do Dropbox. E mais, podem ter o serviço do Dropbox instalado em vários computadores, e assim, terem a informação sempre sincronizada.

*Até à data que este artigo foi publicado a versão para iPhone ainda se encontrava em desenvolvimento.
