<pre><code>$ ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s $(xwininfo -root | grep 'geometry' | awk '{print $2;}') -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 -y out.mkv
</code></pre>
<p>It works pretty nice, but I'd like to add music in the background, if I add it with mencoder:</p>
<pre><code>mencoder -ovc copy -oac mix -audiofile track.mp3 out.mkv -o out.mp4
</code></pre>
<p>It delete the video sound, I don't want to replace it, I want to add music to my explanation, any ideas?</p>

12047 | 1 | 12051 | 2010-11-08T08:46:17.257 | 14 | 16707 | <p>I've encountered what I can best describe as "unpredictable" behaviour of the "clipboard". But in its own way, it actually is <strong>"predictable""</strong>, as it is not an <strong>X</strong> bug, as such.</p>
<p>It largely results from different X applications using different X features in different ways... </p>
<p>But it doesn't really help to know that it isn't <strong>"actually"</strong> a bug. because it <strong>feels</strong> like a bug! </p>
<p>There is a list (below) of what I've found <strong>/</strong> tested. </p>
<p><strong>Is there some way (a daemon?), which irons out all these wrinkles?</strong> <strong>I'd prefer something that doesn't sit in the panel.</strong></p>
<p>The X <strong>/</strong> Ubuntu clipboard is potentially awesome, because of its 2/3 levels ability, but is a bit annoying because of the inconsistent implementations... </p>
<p>I've been trying to understand why the copy/paste thing didn't always do what I expected... It's amazing what you can learn when you read the info docs :) ... But a question can hit the target faster. </p>
<p>The main issue seems to come about when the source application is shut down, and you try to access "clipboard" data which came from that application.</p>
<p>X GUI applications have two major copy/paste methods (modes). </p>
<pre><code>Mode NAME Text Copy method Text Paste method
---------- --------------------- -------------------
PRIMARY currently selected mouse middle-click
CLIPBOARD Control+C selection Control+V
</code></pre>
<p>I've tested the behaviour of the <strong>selection modes</strong> for a few different X applications: <code>gvim</code>, <code>gedit</code>, <code>firefox</code>, and <code>gnome-terminal</code>.</p>
<p>NB:
* All pasting was done into <code>gedit</code>
* The gedit source was from another (root) instance)<br>
* I've tried a couple of "managers", <code>parcelite</code> and <code>pastie</code>, but I can't see any point in comparing them, because neither address the problem. That is, <strong>normally expected</strong> copy <strong>/</strong> paste keyboard actions are "inconsistent"</p>
<pre><code>+ --------------------------------------------- + ------------------------------------------- + ------------
| Modes used in the source Application | Availability upon CLOSING the Applicaton | Application
+ --------------------------------------------- + ------------------------------------------- + ------------
| --- No manager ---
| PRIMARY only, no CLIPBOARD Copy/Cut used: | PRIMARY Empty! (previous)CLIPBOARD ok | (all tested)

<p>So I have created an HTML signature file that I want to use in Evolution. I created it using KompoZer. I have several images that link to webpages and I made sure in KompoZer and in Firefox that there is no link borders around these images. When I load the file as my signature file in Evolution it also does not show any link borders, actually it doesn't show the pictures at all, but when I send an email with the signature, the person who gets the email always gets those ugly blue link borders around the graphics. I have sent test email s to Gmail and Yahoo! Mail accounts and I see it in both of them. Does anyone know a way I can prevent Evolution from doing this.</p>
<p>Any advice gladly welcome</p>

12065 | 1 | 12070 | 2010-11-08T11:57:27.750 | 4 | 1092 | <p>I was using 10.04 going into this weekend and, after a kernel update, I began to observe some unreliable USB behaviour: namely, my USB mouse is extremely late to the party (usually turns on several seconds after login) and my USB card reader pretty much isn't working at all.</p>
<p>In the hopes of the latest and greatest taking care of it, and being in need of the switch to x64, I upgraded to 10.10 and was disappointed to find that the problems are still here.</p>
<p>I'm not terribly familiar with Ubuntu's USB systems these days so I'm asking the question: how do I begin to diagnose this issue?</p>
<p>Update 1:
I've added noapictimer and irqpoll to my kernel command. No change.</p>
<p>Update 2:
I've unplugged all usb devices save for the mouse and the internal multi-card reader (connected to one of the mainboard's USB headers). The dmesg output below is the result.</p>
<p>Some relevant dmesg output: you can see how long it's taking to bring the mouse online.</p>

This morning Ubuntu gave me an option to install drivers for Wireless Card and Nvidia drivers for display. There were two options for wireless driver and two options for NVidia display.. For NVidia driver one option was marked as Recommended (I remember installing this when I installled Ubuntu), so today along with two Wireless Drivers (Broadcom) drivers, I installed the other NVidia driver as well. After restarting I am seeing this lag which is quite irritating.
Is there anyway to rollback to previous configuration like windows?</p>

Then you can modify the scripts for that runlevel which will configure the system however you want. However, the second half of the guide only covers modifying xsetup and your network interfaces.</p>\n\n<p>The setting you're looking for is in Power Management. We can use <code>gconf-editor</code> to find the name of the setting, in this case <code>/apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_battery</code>. A setting of 0 will disable the screen shut-off, otherwise it is the number of seconds until shut-off. To change this setting using a runlevel script or the command-line, you can run:</p>\n\n<pre><code>$ gconftool-2 --set \"/apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_battery\" --type integer 0\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>If you're having trouble putting that command and the runlevel guide together, please comment on this and I will try and assist further.</p>\n",

<p>I can see when I install a setup script is triggered and the PostgreSQL 'initdb' command is run. This copies the sample config files and applies some transformations to it (keyword replacement) and copies into /etc. However even if I remove the keywords from the pg_hba.conf.sample file and hard code the values I want they automagically get reverted to the defaults.</p>
<p>I've tried to follow the post install scripts but all I can see is a call to configure_version which isn't anywhere in the PostgreSQL source code.</p>
<p>So what is the call-chain from post installation scripts to the initdb program being called? And how can I tweak the parameters of the initdb call for my preferred form of authentication?</p>

I'm able to convert the documents to text files and get the word count from the terminal, but I'd quite like to be able to quickly get at them without having to use the terminal. Is there any plugin that can do this, or is it already built in and I'm just missing it?</p>
<p>P.S. I'd prefer not to change my viewer as Evince is the default PDF viewer in Ubuntu, and I'd quite like to do as much as possible using the default applications since a lot of them, Evince included, are really nice.</p>

What you see as text might actually be some kind\nof vector graphic shape. Even if the text is contained as such in the PDF file,\nthose words you see might be composed of multiple \"draw text at position\n(y,x)\"-commands -- e.g. in case of umlauts or end of line. So a single word\nmight count as multiple words. Therefore I think it might be hard to implement\nsuch a feature reliably. Have a look at pdftotext to see what I mean.</blockquote>\n",

12182 | 1 | 12184 | 2010-11-08T21:45:23.567 | 65 | 104041 | <p>I created a screencast using recordmydesktop which produced an .ogv file. I believe this is an OGG file encoded using the Theora codec. I'm wondering how can I convert this to MPEG4/H.264? I've tried to use FFmpeg in a naive way, as follows:</p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -i demo.ogv -f mp4 demo.mp4
</code></pre>
<p>However this produces an evil blob of dark greens and grays when trying to play it again in MPlayer. I then tried to get more sophisticated, using the command-line flags <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/8021/converting-a-video-file-in-arbitrary-file-format-into-mpeg4-h-264">specified here</a>:</p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -i demo.ogv \
-s 352x288 -vcodec libx264 -vpre default \
-acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -f mp4 \
demo.mp4
</code></pre>
<p>But, the result was the same.</p>
<p>If anyone has any insight into what might be the best way to accomplish this task, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.</p>

<p><code>sudo debootstrap --variant buildd --arch i386 hardy /stuff/hardy <a href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" rel="noreferrer">http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu</a></code></p>
<p>What I want to do is to get a working environment isolated from my linux machine (without installing into another partition).</p>
<p>My problem is, that when I chroot into it (<code>sudo chroot /stuff/hardy</code>) I notice that I have nothing in <code>/proc</code> or no network configuration. Also, if I try to go back to my home directory (inside hardy, not 10.4),</p>
<p><code>hardy# cd</code>
I get a
<code>/home/myuser No such file or directory</code></p>
<p>Is there an (hopefully easy) way to get an ubuntu install using <code>debootstrap</code> with no a lot of extra work ?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

I've turned off desktop effects which didn't help. It has happened while plugged in and not plugged in.</p>

<p>Debug notes (per <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume</a>):</p>
<p>There are no flashing caps lock lights or similar.</p>
<p>Setting the boot param <code>no_console_suspend</code> and then switching to VT1 and running the commands <code>setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Uni1-VGA8.psf.gz</code> and
<code>sudo pm-suspend</code> will trigger suspend with this issue, but there is no text output beyond the last command.</p>

I have attached the directory structure of my machine as well. I thought this question would help lot of beginners. </p>

Your question gives an interesting perspective on how a windows user views the new world of linux/unix.</p>\n\n<p>When you install (most) applications, they tend to be installed into /usr/bin (on ubuntu), but that is only the binaries. The data files are installed to various other locations, such as /usr/share/applicationnamehere. Libraries generally go into /usr/lib.</p>\n\n<p>Of course all of this information while useful, will probably still not make it seem any more simple to you. The surprising thing you will soon come to notice, is that Ubuntu automatically places your applications in the appropriate folders for you! If you install a \".deb\" (installer package) it puts everything where it has to go. You don't get the option to choose where it goes, because the system already has you covered, unlike windows.</p>\n\n<p>The most simple way for you to get applications to the right places, is simply to use the software center, which from your question I'm guessing you have already started to do. You won't have to worry about a \"Program Files or no Program Files\" issue, Ubuntu's got you covered :)!</p>\n\n<p>Another thing to note, all you need to do to run an application is to type its command. For example, to run the standard text editor, press alt+f2, and type gedit, then press enter. Voila!</p>\n\n<p>You will find Ubuntu, and desktop linux in general, to be a rather intriguing world to work in. </p>\n",

<p>Can anyone else duplicate this behaviour, or is it just my system?<br>
... or is it a bug? </p>
<p><strong>My settings</strong><br>
<code>Lucid 10.04</code><br>
<code>Compiz</code> filter: "Scale" -- "Initiate Window Picker"
. Binding: <strong>initiate_edge</strong> = <strong>Top Left</strong></p>
<p><code>cream</code>: Run it <strong>maximized</strong>, or at least with its top edge touching the lower edge of the panel..<br>
... In a scrap file, type "yyuryyubicuryy4me."<br>
... Exit <code>cream</code> (Alt+F4, mouse, menu, it doesn't matter which)<br>
... In the Yes/No/Cancel dialog, click "No" (or <strong>any</strong> button) </p>
<p><strong>The problem:</strong><br>
Any <strong>action</strong> on the dialog causes Compiz to display its <strong>"Initiate Window Picker"</strong> window! </p>
<p><strong>The problem setting(?)</strong><br>
When I change the <strong>initiate_edge</strong> setting to <strong>None</strong>, the behaviour is normal. </p>
<p>I don't use <strong>cream</strong> much, but I don't remember it doing this when I first tried it a few weeks ago (but maybe it did, and I didn't pay attention to it). </p>
<p>Is this a cream bug? </p>

12254 | 1 | 13857 | 2010-11-09T06:34:09.783 | 9 | 39423 | <p>I have three shared folders in my local home directory- that is to say, on my Ubuntu desktop's /home/me/. All were set up using "Sharing Options" in Nautilus' right-click menu. The standard "Music" and "Videos" folders are configured identically: the "Guest Access" box is checked, but the "Allow others to create and delete" is not. The third folder, called "shared", is configured to not allow Guest access but to allow others to modify files. I have not altered <code>/etc/samba/smb.conf</code> by hand, I have only used Sharing Options to create and modify these so-called "shares".</p>
<p>My roommates have two Windows 7 computers and one Ubuntu Netbook Remix netbook. I have the aforementioned desktop machine and laptop running 10.04. None of these machines can access any of the shares. Attempts to access the Guest shares result in the message</p>
<p><code>\\machine\directory is not accessible. The network name could not be found.</code></p>
<p>This is the error message generated by a VM running Windows 2000. The other Windows machines generate a similar error. The Ubuntu laptop gives the error <code>Unable to mount location: Failed to mount Windows share</code>. Hurrah, once again, for informative error messages. That really helps a lot.</p>
<p>When attempting to browse the folder called "shared" from the laptop, I'm confronted with a password dialog. This behavior is the same will all machines I've tried in the situation. On entering my username and password for the account to which the shares belong, the password dialog briefly disappears and is replaced with an identical dialog. No error message, useful or not, appears.</p>
<p>When attempting to browse this folder with the VM, the outcome is the same except that the password dialog helpfully states "incorrect username or password". My assumption is that the username and password in question is that of the user which owns the shares. I have tried all other username and password combinations available in this context and the outcome is the same.</p>
<p>I would like to be able to share files. Sharing them with Windows machines is a nice feature, or would be if it was available. Really I consider sharing files between two machines with the same version of the same operating system kind of a minimum condition for network usability.</p>
<p>Samba last functioned reliably for me more than ten years ago. I have attempted to use it on and off since then with only intermittent success. </p>
<p>Oh, and "Personal File Sharing" from the Preferences menu does not result in an entry in Places → Network → my-server. In fact, the old entry "MY-SERVER" goes away and is replaced by "koanhead's public files on my-server", which when I attempt to open it from the laptop gives a "DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply."</p>
<p>I know I come here and gripe about Ubuntu a lot, but on the other hand I spend literally hours <em>every day</em> trying to fix things in Ubuntu. It's a good system which aspires to greatness, which is why things like this either</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Need to work; or</p></li>
<li><p>Be adequately documented.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Ideally both would be the case. Anyway, rant over. Hopefully someone will have some insight on this issue. Thanks all who bother to read this wall o'text for your time.</p>

<p>Try as I might, I cannot make the wifi stay connected. I have since installed iwScanner and I can see that my wifi network is on a different channel to the others in range.

<p>The router is getting old so I had considered maybe it was a problem with the router (Draytek) but then I should have issues with the other machines.</p>

<p>I've opened a file in Vim and make some changes but don't save them. I then use <code>:e otherfile</code> to open a second file, and make some changes to that. Again, without saving the changes, I'd like to go back to the first buffer. I'm using <code>:bn</code> for that, but when I do I get <code>E37: No write since last change ...</code>. If I do <code>:bn!</code> then I can change back to the first buffer. From the first buffer I can change back to the second buffer with a straight <code>:bn</code>, but I have to do <code>:bn!</code> to go from the second buffer to the first every time.</p>
<p>I've got <code>set bufhidden=hide</code> in my vimrc, but if I run <code>:set bufhidden?</code> in Vim I get <code>bufhidden=</code>. Is that the problem maybe?</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've narrowed the problem down a bit. In the first file, <code>:set bufhidden?</code> returns <code>bufhidden=hide</code>, but in the second file, it returns <code>bufhidden=</code>. What's up with that? Am I missing something fundamental about Vim buffers here?</p>
<p><strong>Edit2:</strong> Ok, it seems like <code>set bufhidden=hide</code> only applies to the first buffer opened. It needs to be explicitly called in subsequent buffers. I must be completely missing the point here, because this doesn't seem useful.</p>

12307 | 1 | 12320 | 2010-11-09T15:26:01.023 | 11 | 20291 | <p>My machine is a little weird on the graphics/monitors. I'll go into that in a bit, but I'm specifically looking for how to do the following:</p>
<p>When the monitors are standing by, but the system is running, usually pressing a key on the keyboard will wake them up. Is there a way to accomplish the same kind of waking up from the command line, when remotely connected over the network?</p>
<p>The specifics of what this solves for me is that when I reboot my machine, the nvidia powermizer settings get reset to adaptive. Because this is a managed desktop I cannot edit /etc/ files to change this. I do have something that sets it to maximum performance once I log it. This eliminates the flicker I get on my second display port monitor, and it allows the screens to wake up after being timed out to stand by. So, if I reboot and do not log in, the screens might sleep, and then not wake up. However the machine is still running fine.<br>
If you're curious the driver is nvidia 195.36.24, the card is a Quatro FX 580, the monitors are two Dell U2410 attached via display port (DFP-3 & 4); the VBIOS is 62.94.96.00.05</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>
<em>PS</em> would create tags sleep and powermizer</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong><br>
As much as the answer is correct for my question, it seems that the state of non-waking monitors cannot be gotten out of this way.</p>

<p>I need to do a find-and-replace over most of the HTML files to change the navigation. To do that effectively, I'd need to do that locally.</p>
<p>The FTP server is <em>full</em> of rubbish. The guy has been using it to exchange files with his clients. I want to get a copy of all the relevant files but at the same time, I don't want to waste time downloading dozens of gigabytes of stuff I'll never need.</p>
<p>The FTP is mounted in <code>~/.gvfs</code> at the moment. Is there something quick and easy I can do to copy all the .html files out, keeping the directory structure so that when I'm done working on the files, I can just copy them back using merge/replace?</p>

I would like to stop doing this, so I am wondering if anyone else has this problem, what could be the cause and if there is a fix. I am located in the Western Caribbean region.</p>
<p>I think it would be helpful to note that all other packages coming from the repository I have selected with synaptic download at acceptable speeds.</p>

12316 | 1 | 12406 | 2010-11-09T16:40:53.717 | 5 | 981 | <p>I'm using Gnome-Do with the "Files and Folders v2.5" plugin. I set it to read my <em>.scripts</em> folder, so that I might run my personal scripts from Gnome-Do. The only problem is that Gnome-Do's standard action for shell scripts is to open them instead of running them. That forces me to Tab and scroll-down every time. <strong>How can I change Gnome-Do's standard action?</strong></p>
<p><em>An example for clarity:</em><br>
I have a <em>foo.sh</em> executable file inside my <em>.scripts</em> folder. When I type <em>foo</em> inside Gnome-Do, it correctly selects the file and offers the <em>Open</em> action. I then have to Tab, press Down, and hit Enter to select the <em>Run</em> action instead. I would the <em>Run</em> action to be first on the list.</p>
<p><strong>Alternatively, a more appropriate way to integrate Gnome-Do with personal scripts would be fine as well.</strong></p>

12339 | 1 | 14052 | 2010-11-09T19:19:55.797 | 2 | 2482 | <p>I have a dual boot installation with Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bits, NTFS file sytem) and Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bits, ext4 file system). I have installed the version 7.0a of Truecrypt in both Operating Systems.</p>
<p>Located in the Windows 7 HDD I have a 150 GB encrypted file container. It is a standard and dynamic file container, which means it's not hidden and uses a sparse file. This file was created using the Windows version of the Truecrypt program. When I logon in Windows the container is mounted as the drive E: and everything works fine!</p>
<p>In Ubuntu the Windows's NTFS file system is automaticaly mounted after I logon. I've configured that using the ntfs-config package. In my ~/.profile I have this line to mount the truecrypt's file container:</p>
<pre><code>truecrypt /media/7EDEBCFADEBCABB1/Users/Wagner/hd/hd.tc /media/truecrypt1
</code></pre>
<p>The file container is mounted after the logon without any problem. I can access it, copy files to/from it, etc. But when I try do copy relatively large amounts of data (>~50 MB) to it via nautilus or cp -R, it starts the copy, copies some data until certain point and then it just hangs! The progress bar does not move anymore and nothing happens. There is no error, it just hangs and that's it. I have to kill the process myself.</p>
<p>This problem does not happen in Windows: I can copy very large amounts of data to the container and it works great. But in Ubuntu the problem always happens! I mean, whenever I try to copy a bunch of files together the copy process hangs.</p>
<p>Does anyone ever faced this problem? Can anyone help?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

12364 | 1 | 12366 | 2010-11-09T21:19:11.653 | 5 | 333 | <p>I have written an application, and I'm now interested in creating a Debian package and setting up a PPA. The application is written primarily in XSLT, and includes a very thin front-end that can be written in any language that can access an XSLT processor. I currently have front-ends written in JavaScript (able to run in the browser client, and from the command-line under Rhino) and Python. I'd also like to write a front-end entirely in bash, and simply use one of the command-line XSLT processors available in apt.</p>
<p>There are several available via apt, including xsltproc, xalan, and 4suite's xslt processor. I'd like to make the bash front-end flexible so that it is able to use any of these command-line clients, and will simply use whichever is available. </p>
<p>How can I best express in terms of Debian's package dependency system the relationship between my package and these three other packages, which is a logical disjunction (OR relationship)?</p>
<p>My package relies on <code>xsltproc</code> OR <code>4suite</code> OR <code>xalan</code>. Ideally, when my package is installed, the user should be prompted to choose any of these three package to install as a dependency; and if one of these packages is already installed on the system when my package is installed, then no additional dependencies should be installed. Is such a thing possible with Debian packages?</p>

<p>I usually have to remove network connectivity from the machine I am setting up and the setup process will quickly complete. I then use synaptic to change to the fast repository before installing all those large packages I need, it would be much smoother though, if I did not have to do this and could feed the setup process repository information before hand.</p>
<p>I am wondering if I use the synaptic package manager in the live session and select a repository if the selected repository will be the one used during setup or will the setup process use the one it thinks is best usually a local mirror?</p>

<p>So if you did some long command like <code>scp -r -P 8000 -l user server.com:~/dir/to/copy ./</code> followed by several other commands. If you started typing <code>scp</code> and pressed up, bash would display the command shown before instead of just scrolling through the entire history.</p>
<p>Is there an extension like this for bash? or is there any shell that offers this kind of feature?</p>

12372 | 1 | null | 2010-11-09T22:37:17.503 | 5 | 1324 | <p>Since the install of Ubuntu Desktop 10.10, any launched programs shows up without a windowborder. </p>
<p>I update daily, but the problem remains. Until now I found only one "remedy" that fixes the problem (until the next reboot). This "remedy" is not logical to me and is something I just stumbled upon.</p>
<p>On the desktop I choose with a right mouseclick for the option 'Change Desktop Background'. When this window popsup I choose the last tab for 'Visual Effects'. Then I choose any of the options other then 'normal'. The program starts looking for a driver, but fails to find any. At the moment the program reports this back to me.... surprise......all the windowborders are visible and stay that way until I reboot.</p>
<p>I can not explain this, but I would like to find a real and permanent solution to this problem.</p>

12375 | 1 | null | 2010-11-09T23:00:37.427 | 3 | 1644 | <p>I Just yesterday took the plunge into Linux and Ubuntu. I loaded up 10.10 on my computer and managed to "make" the programs I needed but find an issue with the AC97 sound card. All day and most of the night and day today I tried all the tips and nothing. It seems 10.10 isn't playing nicely with this program :( The program is DSD1.4.1 found here: <a href="http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DSD" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DSD</a> - actually it is links to the two required files under DOWNLOAD. The mbelib-1.2.3-src.tar needs to be worked first as DSD requires this to operate. I got it all done, did the "make" and when I try to run it I get the following:</p>
<pre><code>Digital Speech Decoder 1.4.1
mbelib version 1.2.3
ioctl reset error
ioctl speed error
ioctl stereo error
ioctl setfmt eror
Audio In/Out Device: /dev/audio
</code></pre>
<p>I learned today from another user that the two prior versions of Ubuntu work but that 10.10 doesn't. As I said I tried all the tips on both sites but no luck. My internet connection is too slow to DL anything as large as this (17 hours) so I am a bit stuck! The other user also had the exact same issue using 10.10, and the sound still works, just not using the program DSD.... very odd. Hoping someone here can figure out whats going and maybe a fix for it.
I later found out it seems no sound cards are working properly but can't verify this one. It does only happen with version 10.10 though. </p>
<p>Thank you in advance!
John</p>
