Hi all!
I hope everyone is surviving the weather okay!
I am still loving my UNR Karmic MSI U100. It really rocks. I just have
two questions. The first question is about DVD burning. I have an external
Samsung DVD burner and it is being detected by Ubuntu, but when I try to use
DVD Styler, I had no luck. The software doesn't see the device. When I
tried to use Brasero, it said I was missing the correct plugins, but I did a
quick web search and could not find a place to get the pluggins. What is a
good utility to convert AVIs to DVD and burn to disc? I used Convert-to-DVD
when I used XP. I'd like something that is simple to use. I don't feel
like having to tweak every single DVD I burn. :)
The second question is this; do I have to run the security updates? I fixed
my USB, card reader and webcam with a beta patch. It worked great. Then I
let the system do the automatic security updates. Everything broke. Then a
Linux header/kernel update showed up the next day. I ran it and everything
is fine again. Can I safely blow off the security updates for a while? I
like having a working system.
Thank you all!
Margret
