Hi Guys. From last two months I am using Fedora 12 as my primary os. I want to create a slideshow which i can able to covert in DVD. I just did google and found Slide 2 Video.
“Slide 2 Video” create DVD-compatible slideshow video, flash video, or just plain vanilla MPEG video from still images. Includes a graphical user interface for assembling slides in a timeline fashion, manipulating transitions, and adding title slides and a soundtrack.

Dependencies:

Java
ImageMagick
FFMPEG

Download it from here.

SSH Server on Windows

Filed under Desktop, howto, Microsoft Windows, Network, Server, Software, System, Windows XP by on January 27, 2010 at 3:52 am {no comments}

At my workplace most of the users use windows as their primary operating system. Windows do not have any inbuilt ssh server. Basic idea behind ssh server on windows is I can transfer files from my Linux box to user’s windows box without taking much efforts.

For the same I found MobiSSH. MobaSSH allows you to run commands and transfer files on a remote Windows PC from any operating system (GNU/Linux, Unix, HP-UX, AIX, Windows, …) through a fully secured and encrypted network connection. MobaSSH is 100% compatible with the Linux/Unix/HPUx/AIX SSH clients, but also with Putty or WinSCP on Windows.

It is very easy to install and setup.
Download it from here.

Using System Restore via Recovery Console

Filed under Desktop, howto, Microsoft Windows, System, Windows XP by on October 22, 2009 at 8:24 am {no comments}

1. Boot your pc via WINDOWS XP BOOTABLE media
2. Choose Recovery Console Option
3. Then,

cd \
cd windows\system32\config
ren system system.bak
exit

Your maching should restart
Then again repeat Step 1 & 2
4. After that,

cd \
cd system~1\_resto~1\

You’ll see a list of restore point folders with names such as RP1, RP2 and so on. Pick the restore point you wish to use, using the folder date stamps to guide you.

Enter the commands:

cd rp360\snapshot

This takes you into the folder containing the restore point snapshot files. Copy the Registry backups so that they overwrite the existing Registry files.

COPY _Registry_machine_system C:\Windows\System32\Config\System
COPY _Registry_machine_software C:\Windows\System32\Config\Software
COPY _Registry_machine_sam C:\Windows\System32\Config\Sam
COPY _Registry_machine_security C:\Windows\System32\Config\Security
COPY _Registry_user_.default C:\Windows\System32\Config\Default

Type the command exit to close the Recovery Console and restart the PC.

Remove Viruses without installing any virus-scanner

Think a situation where your computer is very badly affected with the virus and your virus-scanning software is not doing anything, what you will do in such situation?

Engineers format their Windows in such situation. But there is another way also. Just download a superdat file from McAfee website. You have to extract the content of the dat file then run the executable files in command prompt.

Just go to Direct link

Create a new folder in c:
Rename it to scan
Place the SuperDat file into c:\scan folder
Click on Start > Run > cmd
Press enter it will open command prompt

Type there following command:

cd c:\scan
sdatXXX.exe /E

wait for a 2 minutes then run the following command

scan /ADL /ALL /SUB /CLEAN /REPORT C:\scan\virus.txt

This command will scan all drives and subdirectories and clean the infected file and also generate the report and save it in virus.txt file.

P.S. The SuperDat file generated on each day, so please download it on the day of virus scanning.
For better result do this procedure in Windows safe mode.
