Talk:Set up NTL

2006-01-20T15:16:01Z

Hackeron:

Sounds like a standard cable modem service. You call what sounds like the cable modem the "settop box". Does this box allow you to surf the net from you tv, like webtv, or does it just pass through the cable signal to the tv? Or do you need a splitter to hook cable to your tv? If the box ''is'' a standard cable modem, then my experience says, that if it doesn't connect to the internet properly, it should assign a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx ip to whatever computer/nat router is plugged into it.

The lack of linux/intranet support is pretty standard. Most cable companies' internet tech support pretty much consists of a callcenter in India sorting out the stupid calls before sending out a service tech.[[User:Crazyeddie|Crazyeddie]] 16:50, May 25, 2004 (EDT)
----
The set-top box is the device that connects to the TV cable; it has two SCART connectors for the TV (RGB and CVBS) and VCR (CVBS only), plus an RF passthrough for an antenna (cable output available modulated on ch.52 {adjustable via installation menu} but no NICAM). It also has an ethernet port. This port provides a single IP address, initially in a 10.x.y.z range. After an initial "provisioning" operation -- carried out by submitting a HTML form -- a new, routable address is allocated using DHCP. This address seems to persist for quite awhile (I've had two in so many years).

You can surf ''part'' of the web on your TV without a computer, using the cable remote; you can also pay a premium for full web access. You can also send and receive e-mail. A wireless keyboard is available, so you don't have to enter text one letter at a time like 1980s video games. But it's quite limited. [[User:ajs318|ajs318]]

-----
I recently bought a new PC and cannot get an IP from the set box with DHCP because I guess its bound to the old MAC address. What do I do? --[[User:Hackeron|Hackeron]] 10:16, Jan 20, 2006 (EST)

Ion

2005-08-28T18:57:00Z

Hackeron: /* External links */ - URL changed.

'''Ion''' is a minimalist [[window manager]]. Although it is very small and light, it is a full featured window manager designed with keyboard users in mind. It makes use of the lua language, and rather than using float windows, it encourages frames.

Features include:
* Full useability with either mouse/keyboard or both.
* Tabbed frames
* Full frame control
* Mapping of application by class and/or title to frame
* Multiple desktops
* Float frame support
* Themeable
* Lua customizeable
* Full screeing, docking support.
* Application menu.
* Support for most linux software.

The down side of this wonderful WM is its steep learning curve, but its really worth the effort to try for any hardcore linux user.

MPlayer

2004-05-15T21:05:30Z

Hackeron: Added mencoder to description, and added link

== Description ==
'''MPlayer''' - The best movie and media player for Linux!

* Note: this short description was taken from the MPlayer official website because it is probably the best description there is regarding MPlayer. It has been edited to add links to codec descriptions.

MPlayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most [[MPEG]], VOB, [[AVI]], [[OGG]]/OGM, VIVO, ASF/[[WMA]]/WMV, QT/[[MOV]]/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch [[VideoCD]], [[SVCD]], [[DVD]], 3ivx, [[DivX]] 3/4/5 and even WMV movies, too (without the avifile library).

Mplayer also comes with [[mencoder]], a tool to work with all codecs mplayer supports. It allows dvd ripping, converting realmedia to xvid, fixing broken video files, etc.

== Using MPlayer ==

There is supposed to be a documentation at the official MPlayer page, but as current writing, the page is empty. As a remedy, here are a few things I've found out.

During playback:
<table>

<tr><td>space or p:
</td><td>pause / resume playback

</td></tr><tr><td>f:
</td><td>fullscreen playback / back to playback in window

</td></tr><tr><td>left/right arrows:
</td><td>skip 10 seconds forward/backward (you will use this a lot and love it)

</td></tr><tr><td>up/down arrows:
</td><td>skip 1 minute forward/backwards

</td></tr><tr><td>q:
</td><td>stop playback of current movie

</td></tr><tr><td>0/9 or numpad * and /:
</td><td>raise/lower volume

</td></tr><tr><td>o:
</td><td>show current position

</td></tr><tr><td>v:
</td><td>turn subtitles on/off

</td></tr><tr><td>z/x:
</td><td>raise/lower "sub delay" in increments of "-100ms"

</td></tr><tr><td>t/r:
</td><td>raise/lower "sub position" (subtitle position? - comments?)

</td></tr><tr><td>a:
</td><td>switch subtitle alignment "bottom/top/center"

</td></tr><tr><td>c:
</td><td>switch fullscreen display resolution

</td></tr><tr><td>n:
</td><td>change window playback size from 100% to 200% (anybody found out how to reverse this?)

</td></tr><tr><td>- and /:
</td><td>raise/lower "A-V delay" to manually ensure that audio and video stay in sync

</td></tr></table>

(These shortcuts are known to work in the OS X version of MPlayer, but it is extremely likely that they also work in the Linux version.)

Proxy

2004-05-09T19:21:51Z

Hackeron:

A proxy server is a server that allows clients to connect to the internet through a another machine on the local network (or on the internet).

A common usage of a proxy server is for caching, like [[Squid]] proxy. This allows a faster and more reliable connection to the internet and allows logging and filtering by the admin, which is used to combat inappropriate usage, viruses, spam, etc. It can however be used to invade user's privacy.

==Popular Proxy Servers==
*The [[Squid]] is the popular http proxy server in UNIX/Linux world
*The [[Apache]] is a webserver can be configured to act as a proxy server.
*The Linux [[kernel]] contains modules for NAT functionality as part of the ''ipchains'' and ''iptables'' packet filtering systems.

Proxy

2004-05-09T19:07:42Z

Hackeron: Added info about proxy

A ''proxy' is a network service which allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource, possibly by connecting to the specified server, or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

A common proxy application is a '''caching Web proxy'''. This provides a nearby cache of Web pages and files available on remote Web servers, allowing local area network clients to access them more quickly or reliably.

Web proxies can also filter the content of Web pages served. Network operators can also deploy proxies to intercept viruses and other hostile content served from remote Web pages.

Both Web and other network proxies have been abused by spammers and other network abusers. An '''open proxy''' is a proxy server which will accept client connections from any IP address and make connections to any Internet resource. Abuse of open proxies is currently implicated in a significant portion of email spam delivery.

Kopete

2004-05-09T19:00:59Z

Hackeron: Added note: kopete has no HTTP Proxy support.

'''Kopete''' is a flexible and extendable multi-protocol [[instant messaging]] system that is now bundled together with KDE.

The goal of Kopete is to provide users with a standard and easy to use interface between all of their instant messaging systems.

It supports many messaging protocols like [[Jabber]], [[ICQ]], [[AIM]], [[MSN]], [[Yahoo]], [[IRC]], [[Windows LANs]], [[GaduGadu]], and [[SMS]].

Kopete is in quite early development, and relies on core KDE functionality. This unfortunately means that connecting to protocols via an HTTP [[Proxy]] is impossible, making it utterly useless in many working environments up until [[KDE]] version 4.0 (scheduled for 2006). If HTTP [[Proxy]] support is required, I recommend a more mature replacement: [[Gaim]]

* Full frame control
* Mapping of application by class and/or title to frame
* Multiple desktops
* Float frame support

Hackeron:

i2c is the driver side of [[lm-sensors]], now included with the 2.6 kernel. Here is the description from the kernel config:

? I2C (pronounce: I-square-C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
? many micro controller applications and developed by Philips. SMBus,
? or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More
? information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
? especially in the file called "summary" there.
?
? Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
? hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.
? Specifically, if you want to use a BT848 based frame grabber/overlay
? boards under Linux, say Y here and also to "I2C bit-banging
? interfaces", below.
?
? If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
? specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.
?
? This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
? will be called i2c-core.

This method differs to [[ACPI]]'s [[Thermal Zone]].

How do I exclude multiple directories when doing an rsync? rsync --exclude /foo works, but I want to specify more directories to exclude, any ideas?
