Screenshot of The Dark Knight in 1080P, telling me that digital sound doesn't work...
Just got myself a new receiver and that made me finally want to enable 5.1 sound on my mediacenter. I tried a LOT of tutorials, to finally find out the solution was quite simple…

When you’ve downloaded a multi-file zip archive, from let’s say, rapidshare, it’s quite easy to unzip it. For example, the arive was split up into
- file.z01
- file.z02
- file.zip
Here’s howto unzip ‘em:
echo file.z* > newfile.zip
zip -F newfile.zip
unzip newfile.zip

This too, is an easy one:
echo deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/ sarge main >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv CFF71CB3AFA44BDD
gpg --export --armor CFF71CB3AFA44BDD | apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install tor
sudo apt-get install privoxy
Edit the config file as described on the documentation page and restart privoxy. Add Torbutton to your Firefox to tell it to use privoxy and voila: you’re done.

SABnzbD has a new release. It has been added to the PPA immediately, which is great. Updating the packages gave me an error: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F13930B14BB9F05F
Quick fix:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv F13930B14BB9F05F
Then enter the following:
gpg --export --armor F13930B14BB9F05F | sudo apt-key add -
Then, to finish off, enter the following:
sudo apt-get update
