The Ubuntu UK Podcast show was recently established, someone I met from HantsLUG hosts it and it’s pretty interesting for those of you who are Ubuntu users. Check it out!

I updated my php-clearsilver installation guide today after discovering it’s wrong in a few places. Fortunately, I don’t think anyone’s ever used it (apart from me today.)
If you know what clearsilver is and you use php, you might find it interesting.

Following several guides on setting up a bridge on my laptop between the wireless network interface and VirtualBox for direct networking was simply not working for me. Today after lots of head scratching I finally discovered why.
Turns out that the standard bridge utils are no good for most wireless cards, but there is a workaround.
Check out this guide, and read under the wireless section:
Bridged Networking with VirtualBox on Linux Hosts
What you can do is add those various commands to a little script file in /etc/network/if-up.d/ which will set up the ‘bridge’ upon starting networking.
Woohoo!

Unfortunately, you can’t!!! Well, not as far as I can tell, I’ve asked around and scoured the web but it seems there’s no use, there simply isn’t a way to do it on linux. The next best thing is to use DVDFab for windows via Wine (it kind of semi-officially works with Wine).
As I found nothing really solid on google, I thought I’d write this post as it’s annoying when you can’t find anything.
How infuriating! What a great way to encourage people to illegally download things instead of buying them. I wonder when (or if) these movie studios will ever learn that it’s a really dumb idea to stop people having total control over things they buy.
