A few useful commands that I know......
1.To play DVD, track 1
gmplayer dvd://1 -alang en
2.To play VCD, track 2
mplayer vcd://2 -alang en
3.To copy VCD track 2 and output it as "2.avi"....its fast
mplayer -dumpstream vcd://2 -alang en -dumpfile 2.avi
Above in 3., replace "vcd" with "dvd" and u'll rip off dvd track 2 with output as "2.avi"
I have googled a lot for a particular error "
Can't play VCD.....Seek Failed! ", but didn't find any answers. So let me share with u some new found/discovered knowledge. It seems many linux users still aren't able to watch dvd's/vcd's on their *nix box or still use windows for that. They haven't fully shifted to *nix.
So this is for them.
1. U need "libdvdcss","dvdnav" modules installed. In fedora command as root " yum -y install *dvd* win32codec* gstreamer* *mp3* *mplayer* *xine* *mpeg* lame vorbis " This installs complete entertainment package on ur system. Its better to install realplayer separately after removing helix player to play real media files. After this u can install amarok easily
2. U may also command " yum -y install lib* ". It installs all the libraries so that in future u dont have any problem for missing dependencies.
3. For playing commercial vcd's/dvd's, u dont need to mount it manually. Just insert it (vcd's) , open up Xine => show controls => press vcd/dvd tab and it will play and its much stabler than windows media player.
If u mount the vcd's and dvds manually u'll experience "
Can't play VCD.....Seek Failed!" error.
If there's anything I missed, others r welcomed to complete the post.
@subratabera....congrats for ur thread.

Here is something new....
LXP is a desktop enviroment identical to Windows XP. LXP is a collection of different pieces of GNU software (icewm, xfe, idesk, etc) modified in order to look and feel identical to Windows XP. LXP has its own icewm themes and utility pack.

Got some time again.
Bored of watching the same old grub splash image? Here's how to change ur grub splash image!
1. Requirements
2. Use gimp, open some image, lower its quality
3. resize it to 640x480 resolution
Command
I had saved the info and commands, but not sure where I took it from. I guess this was the source !! Dont worry. If the image gets messy, the grub will still work with blank background!

Here is another good news for Linux lovers...
Linux Mint 2.1 codename "Bea" is out!!!
*lt.k1011.nutime.de/pictures/screenshots/bea-2.1/02_small.png
It has-->
New Softwares
OO 2.1
XChat-Gnome
Better desktop
Quick access to the computer and home places
Quick access to the terminal from the context menu
Ability to delete files directly without sending them to the Trash
mintDesktop home folders
Beagle search
Tomboy notes
Network manager
Better Wifi support
Better branding
New artwork
New LiveCD splash
New usplash and GDM screens
Better Web browsing
Realplayer 10 was replaced with the Mplayer plugins so you can now enjoy Quicktime, AVI, MPG and a lot of other web content.
The Flash plugin was upgraded to version 9 Beta 2.
Support for ipv6 was disabled to make your Internet connection and Web browsing faster
Firefox 2.0 was tweaked so that it does go back to the previous page when you press the backspace key
And a few surprises...
For those of you who have nvidia cards there's a little surprise in Bea called envy
For those of you who like to mount stuff, PyMou was added to the command line
For those of you who love using Amarok we added support for MusicBrainz tagging
For those of you who need to extract RAR archives we included unrar
For those of you who really like Flash, we included the Flash player
And for those of you who like playing with the terminal, we put a little surprise in there too
