Linux και rapidshare

Το rapidshare (πιθανώς) το ξέρετε. Ό,τι πιο εύχρηστο για γρήγορη ανταλλαγή αρχείων. Ανεβάζεις το αρχείο που θες στους servers του rapidshar, μοιράζεις το link που σου δίνει και αυτό ήταν. Τι γίνεται όμως οταν θες να κατεβάσεις μαζικά links, και η ιδέα και μόνο του να το κάνεις από τον browser σε κάνει να βαριέσαι απίστευτα;

Βρήκα το aria, έναν (αρκετά λιτό σε interface) παντοδύναμο downloader για linux το οποίο υποστηρίζει rapidshare (και ίσως να υποστηρίζει και άλλες υπηρεσίες) authentication

aria

sudo apt-get install aria

Alt-O, General, authentication, *insert rapidshare account info*, voila

UVC

Contents UVC Linux Driver UVC support in Ubuntu 7.10 and later 7.04 and earlier Installing UVC Checkout from SVN Build Install Insert Modules

UVC Stands for ‘USB Video Class’. It defines video streaming functionality on the Universal Serial Bus. UVC compliant peripherals only need a generic driver; much like mass storage devices (USB flash disks, External disc enclosures, etc.) can be managed by a single driver because they conform to the USB Mass Storage specification.

UVC Linux Driver

The GNU/Linux UVC Driver page is at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ and includes a list of supported devices

UVC support in Ubuntu

7.10 and later

In 7.10 the UVC module has been included which means that some webcams ‘just work’ however UVC is still at an early stage and device support and bugfixes are being added all the time. It may well be necessary to update to the latest version to get your hardware to work, in particular Skype will only work properly if you have uvc version 166 or above, earlier driver versions freeze up after a minute or so with some cameras.

7.04 and earlier

UVC support is not included and you’ll have to install it yourself.

Installing UVC

UVC has not released any ‘snapshots’ yet and has not been packaged and included in the Ubuntu repositories. There is a debian package located [url CategoryDocumentation CategoryNeedsExpansion
