  Using dd for disk cloning         


Author: kn
Date: Aug 19, 2008 08:38

I'm trying to clone an existing drive (ext3) to a USB drive. Booted
into rescue mode with cd1, did a

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4k

after 3 hours, dd reports 145G data written. So I rebooted the box and
then mount /dev/sdb1, there is nothing on it! df shows 55G of data,
but ls shows nothing. any idea?

[root@www root]# df -mh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use%% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 133G 55G 72G 44%% /
none 1004M 0 1004M 0%% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1 133G 55G 72G 44%% /mnt/usb
[root@www root]# ls -a /mnt/usb/
. ..

  openoffice impress video -> want to play full screen         


Author: Ben
Date: Aug 18, 2008 21:25

I've managed to embed a video into a slide in OOo impress, it's an mpg
file. In slideshow mode, it plays fine, but is not playing at full
screen. It's playing at it's native size. Is there some way to
tell impress to play the video at full screen?

I tried dragging the video image in the edit mode to all 4 corners,
but that just seems to change the size of the frame, the video stays
the same size.

Thanks,

Ben
