USB TV BOX

Just got a noname MODEL:USB2.OBOX (or 0BOX?) and attached to my D630 running EL5U2 (i386).. Attaching gives
Jul 30 13:19:55 localhost kernel: usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
Jul 30 13:19:55 localhost kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

in messages and got a brand new

can’t get device qualifier: Operation not permitted
can’t get debug descriptor: Operation not permitted

this is not much helpful (yet)..

The

idVendor 0x6000
idProduct 0x0001
bcdDevice 0.01
iManufacturer 16
iProduct 32
iSerial 64

tells
me that this is actually some common chip / device. Still I doubt a
generic driver to be around. Shall check with Fedora 9 too.

Now testing via VMWare workstation on XP .. Just to be sure that the device is working..

–>
And VMWare installation fails with a blue screen .. Maybe it is vmware
or worse it is the device itself .. I shall test this on a native
environment .. Maybe that Toshiba Satellite notebook.. Hmm..

Linux DVD9 to DVD5

Found and used dvd95 and that works quite nice with gnome – also with kde .. But has problems with some dvds..
Testing k9copy. That is exclusively for KDE .. But EL and fedora does it nicely along.

Has
tested k9copy .. That is nice too .. But did not solve the some-dvd
issues .. It seems now I have managed to get dvd95 right along with
fedora 9 .

Convert .nrg image to .iso

Converting .nrg image to .iso:

Fedora:
# yum install nrg2iso

$ nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso

Note that your .nrg image might already be an ISO (at leas a UDF dump) so you can use it to burn to DVD using GnomeBaker
