Ubuntu updates

I found a couple of interesting Ubuntu items. I found a nice script to update Firefox in Breezy to 1.5, and then I accidentally found a link to another auto configurator for Ubuntu. Automatix seems similar to Easy Breezy (nee Easy Ubuntu).

- Mp3 to Ogg, Mp3 to Wma, Mp3 to AAC, Mp3 to Wav

- WAV to Mp3, Wav to Ogg, Wav to AAC, Wav to Wma

mkfs fails

I was getting the following error trying to mkfs a partition.

mkfs.ext2: No such device or address while trying to determine
filesystem size

After some plonking I realized that the fdisk I used to create the partition was the issue. Normally a reboot is needed, and I couldn't reboot at that time. I found this handy command to reread the partition table:

partprobe /dev/sda
