Re: [gentoo-user] Re: DVD-cd usage
On Fri, Jul 22, 2005 at 06:13:46PM +, James wrote I need to learn how to use any simple cdrecording commands (syntax challeged user here) first. Then I can worry about all sorts of fancy file types/formats. I'd be better off downloading a know file to write to the device (ascii text?) or something on the gentoo system, just to build a little confidence. I need a newbie 'how to cd burn' before I worry about the intricacies of audio recording files on CDs. 3) (Thanks for the idea, Dave Nebinger) Have you tried making an ISO of all the audio files (unaltered) that you want to burn to CD, using mkisofs, and then burning the ISO instead of the files? I'm going to read the cdrecord man pages. simple syntax examples or a link to a document to any cd burning software is what I need. A quick rundown... - audio CDs are generated by writing WAV files directly to CD. The player reads them directly from the CD. You do not mount audio CDs. - to get regular files onto CDs in a readable form, you first need to create an ISO9660 filesystem image file, using mkisofs (man mkisofs). Then burn the image file to a CD. You can usually get away with piping output from mkisofs stdout to cdrecord stdin. - you need root privileges to properly use cdrecord; deal with it. If you're scared of logging in as root, you can use sudoers.conf to give a regular user permission to run specific command and parameters. I need root-level access in order to read system files for my bi-weekly backups, so cdrecord's need to be root was never an issue for me. Note; The following is all done as root (or root equivalent). The first thing you have to do is figure out your device numbers. *YOUR SYSTEM CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM MINE*, so read the instructions carefully. Execute the command cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus. It can take a few seconds to scan the system. Ignore the warnings/disclaimers The important part is at the end. Here's that output for my system... 0,0,0 0) 'SONY' 'CD-RW CRX195E1 ' 'ZYS5' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'SONY' 'DVD-ROM DDU1621 ' 'S1.5' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * This indicates that my CD-RW is device 0,0,0. mkisofs creates an image of a specified directory, including subdirectories. Soft links do *NOT* work. To save time, and avoid cluttering up my drive with temp files, I pipe directly from mkisofs to cdrecord. I make a tar.bz2 of the files I want backed up, and move the file to directory xfer. The following script does it all-in-one... #!/bin/sh mkisofs -R -J xfer | cdrecord speed=8 -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 - The -R -J parameters should result in mkisofs output that's readable by all linux and Windows machines. The cdrecord parameters are... speed=8 ...the burner on this machine can go up to 48x. But my emergency backup system is a 6-year-old Dell that can only read up to 12x. Oops. This parameter slows down the burner so that the older machine can read its output. -taotrack at once. This allows you to do multi-session CDs. -v I prefer some verbosity in the output. fs=8m The fifo buffer size. The default is 4 megabytes, but I specify 8 megabytes to play safe against under-runs. -data Straight out of the man page... -data is the default, if no other flag is present and the file does not appear to be of one of the well known audio file types. If neither -data nor -audio have been specified, cdrecord defaults to -audio for all filenames that end in .au or .wav and to -data for all other files. dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 This specifies the device. The 3 numbers can be found by running cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus - The hyphen at the end specifies to use stdin as the source file. You will get a standard warning from cdrecord, because it can't know ahead of time whether the piped input will fit onto the CD. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I believe that the mic input is handled differently than the line input (automatic gain control, decibel boosts, etc.). Use your card's line input jack instead.

I would guess mp3 but there do not appear to be any mp3 encoders for linux, ogg would be great but I doubt that it would play. Standard CD players play waveform audio (WAV), but I believe it needs to be aligned to the CD block boundaries. However, you'll need to burn it as an audio CD, not a data CD, otherwise it will be unreadable to the CD player. Most CD players nowadays can play back MP3 data CD's but there's no standard, not even a de facto one, for this. Dare I say it? Most people do have computers, so if your local group doesn't make Learn [subject] While Driving tapes, it may be cheaper and easier to simply forgo the physical medium and stick them on a web server for downloading/streaming/podcasting. MP3's of people talking don't require the higher bitrates that music does, so you can drop the bitrate and change it to mono (one-channel audio) to save some server space/bandwidth. Can anyone suggest an application to get the files from the tape change them into said format ? (Simple is good, I dont need a recording studio :)) Anything that can listen to your card's line-in will do. I haven't done it on Linux, but on Windows/Mac OS X, pretty much any program will do it. As for burning, most programs that can burn an audio CD take MP3/WAV/OGG/WMA/AAC files (your choices may vary depending on the app) as input and do the conversion themselves behind the scenes before burning. -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I give you permission to file a bug ;-). Something's not right about that.
May already be solved; both firefox and tbird went to 1.0.6-r2 very
early today.
I've gotta say, I'm getting tired of upgrading them (I saw the upgrade
to 1.0.6 two days ago, but waited; there was an upgrade to 1.0.6-r1,
which I took yesterday afternoon, and today I have to upgrade to 1.0.6-r2).
There was also an upgrade to the version of mozilla launcher in the past
day and a half; in my original emerge -uaDtv world, 1.39 was proposed, a
few hours later, when I finally got around to actually upgrading (after
another, extra sync), the version had been bumped to 1.45.
In any case, I'm not having any problems with firefox or tbird 1.0.6-r1
atm-- but then again, I'm not using the bins. But, amazingly, Enigmail
works out of the box on upgrade (which is a first; I usually have to
reinstall it), and I was clever enough to backup my search plugins
before upgrading (and order them in user.js, which should be
unaffected), so as soon as I upgrade (again), I should be able to put
them back and move on with my life.
I was going to post a question as to whether anybody knew how many more
revisions we're going to see to the Mozilla programs in the next couple
days; I understand heavy development, but three upgrades in three days
is a bit much even for me (since it takes an hour and a half or so to
compile each program, and further means I have to use Konq for that time
if I don't want to mess up ff by having it loaded while it's upgrading.
So I'd love to know if this is likely to settle down soon, if anybody
happens to follow the relevant development.

The horysontal sync vertical refresh aren't likely to be the same, so you'll have to adapt your current xorg.conf I've read a few times that wrong values can harm your screen (but never seen it happen) so be careful. Or you can use 'xorgconfig' and answer the questions step by step. I did this on a 17'' dell TFT at work and it worked first try. or you could just remove the horizontal sync vertical refresh lines from your xorg.conf, and let xorg figure it out for you. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully, if the mobo graphics card handle it, Xorg won't have too much difficulty getting used to it.

I'm getting tired of it too. I would understand this upgrade cycle with some smaller packages, but ff and tb are huge programs to compile this often. And as if bumping the revisions were not enough they keep deleting the previous versions from the tree making it hard to mask the new ones: If the old one is gone, you just cannot add the new one to your package.mask file - you also have to put a fake ebuild to your local portage tree. Otherwise portage will want to *downgrade* with emerge -u world. Or worse, complain about missing packages if the current one is the only one in the tree, as it was with firefox-1.0.5-r1. In any case, I'm not having any problems with firefox or tbird 1.0.6-r1 That's the real paradox here. I don't remember when was the last time I had a problem with ff (actually I use only Galeon these days, compiled against ff) so it feels so stupid to compile it just because of these revision bumps (yeah, I know - you don't *have to* upgrade, they'll say - but then again, read what I said above). I was going to post a question as to whether anybody knew how many more revisions we're going to see to the Mozilla programs in the next couple days; I understand heavy development, but three upgrades in three days is a bit much even for me (since it takes an hour and a half or so to compile each program, and further means I have to use Konq for that time if I don't want to mess up ff by having it loaded while it's upgrading.

[gentoo-user] Double Firefox folders in /usr/lib?
Hi, As you may have heard, I've upgraded Firefox twice in the last two days (could have been three times, but I skipped one update). I'm compiling it, not using the bins. Well, somewhere between 1.0.5 (where I started) and 1.0.6-r2 (where I ended up) the folder in /usr/lib changed from MozillaFirefox to mozilla-firefox Same thing happened with Thunderbird (MozillaThunderbird to mozilla-thunderbird). Now, everything works (that's not the problem), and I know that mozilla-firefox is the folder being used (because I backed up my searchplugins folder before upgrading, and moved it back to mozilla-firefox before opening the upgraded firefox, and all my search engine plugins are now being shown). But am I supposed to have both folders? Shouldn't one of them (the old one) have been deleted when the previous versions of Firefox (and Thunderbird) were removed? Or are they still used for some reason (and if so, then why do I have to have a new folder)? Seems to me that something's a bit wonky somewhere, but thought I'd check here to see if 1) anybody else is seeing this 2) anybody knows a reason this configuration makes sense/is valid before posting a bug.

But what happened (or seems to have happened) is that some aspect of this enterprise (either on the mozilla side or the gentoo side) was a bit borked, requiring a revision, and then the revision had to be fixed. Or the error was on both sides--from the changelog, it looks like there was an error in the original 1.0.6 ebuild, requiring a revision to 1.0.6-r1, and then there was an upgrade to the source (10MozillaFirefox lib dir), which required another revision to the ebuild. The whole thing seems to have been a bit of a mess, but everybody seems to have been a part of it. Oh, well. Hope everything is straightened out now, except for the issue raised in my post Double Firefox folders in /usr/lib?. So if that's a real issue, there could be another revision in all of our futures.

I just rm -rf'd the directories...but a better plan would have been to: equery belongs `find /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox -type f` and the same thing for Thunderbird.

For decent sound most cards with an envy24 controller and 24-bit DACs are pretty good. You;ll use more cpu to run them, but nothing significant. One card is M-Audio's Revolution 7.1.

[gentoo-user] root logout: not clearing the screen...
Hi gentoorians! :-) I have noticed some strange (and imho rather not secure) thing: A common, not root user logs in on vc1 (2,3,4), then he runs some process which writes output to screen (e.g. ls -al), then he logs out. After logging out the screen is cleared, and a new log-in prompt is on the top of a screen. Except for log-in prompt and welcome message, screen is empty... Now root logs-in on vc1 (vc2,3...), also issues ls -al, then exits. But (to my big surprise), even after logging out, screen is not cleared, and output of ls -al command (previously issued by root) is still visible on the screen, and a new log-in prompt is on the bottom! I am not expert for computer security, but this seems to me rather illogical. I think it is quite dangerous to let output of root's work remain on the screen after root logged itself out. How can I fix it? But not something like # echo clear $HOME/.bash_logout, this would not work if root changes its shell. I'd prefer some system fix... Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I really don't see how this could be a configuration problem, since it would have complained about an erroneous compilation flag if it was the k8 thing that was at fault... And missing files (which the compilation error points at) sounds pretty much like a valid bug to me... Errors building packages are *frequently* configuration problems. Anybody who has followed this list for at least a month knows that. Thus, this is a perfectly valid forum to get feedback on an issue before filing a new bug report on b.g.o. Bug reports that are not really bugs just waste valuable developer time. That said, I do agree that this looks like an AMD64 specific bug. I think it's always wise to try to make sure that it really is a bug before posting it. Of course, but looking at the ordinary response from developers to these kind of emails, I'd guess that b.g.o is where they want the report, not here... Here being gentoo-user, there are not a lot of developer responses here. On gentoo-dev, you are correct, the standard response is file on b.g.o.

Hold on...the -march thing would be an easy mistake to make for those of us who don't run AMD processors, and are just trying to help. Afterall, the platform keyword is amd64.

(not counting in those configurations where you're yourself editing the ebuild or otherwise fucking with depends and build options suggested by the ebuild maintainer) I already said I agree with you, that in this specific case it seems to be a bug appropriate for reporting to b.g.o. But looking at your original response, you said: I'd think that the developers would rather have that information posted to http://bugs.gentoo.org/ instead... To me, Holly, and I'd bet many others, the instead... in that line could only be read as telling the OP that he has posted to the wrong place, and that we do not welcome such things here. Plus, the OP message was very much of the here is the output of a failed build, what does it mean variety. Many such posts come from people who don't know how to recognize the actual source of the build failure. Whether it says missing file, unresolved symbol, locking failed, or compiler bug, they simply do not know what it *really* means (and sometimes, not even what line contains the real problem). Now, I don't mean to offend any users here. I don't expect everybody running Gentoo to be a programmer or linux expert. So I will say it clearly: if a user encounters an error in emerge that he doesn't know what to do with, it is entirely appropriate to post here first. Of course, but in this case it wasn't an oversight... The poster explicitly said that using march=k8 seemed to no longer be the recommendation of the docs. That implies at least _some_ looking into the subject before posting... No, Holly said that her advice was based on recent threads. A recent thread on this list involving gzip on by an amd64 user suggested trying different march options. Now, it was _bad_ advice (sorry Holly, but it was!), but Holly did say she doesn't use amd64 and wasn't sure. Since I'm myself using the specified platform and have had at least a bit experience with it Good. Please help educate those of us who don't have or know the amd64 platform very well! :-) Also, since the originator had posted the emerge info output, I assumed that he/she was at least a bit familiar with how bug handling is handled by Gentoo. Maybe, but I still think it was pretty clear that the OP was not sure whether the problem was an actual bug or not. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To me, Holly, and I'd bet many others, the instead... in that line could only be read as telling the OP that he has posted to the wrong place, and that we do not welcome such things here. Ok, reading my original post again I can see your point ;) Plus, the OP message was very much of the here is the output of a failed build, what does it mean variety. Many such posts come from people who don't know how to recognize the actual source of the build failure. Whether it says missing file, unresolved symbol, locking failed, or compiler bug, they simply do not know what it *really* means (and sometimes, not even what line contains the real problem). Ok, I might have read a bit too much into the fact that he posted the output of emerge info. Not very usual in this list (from what I've seen in the last couple of years) since most people who don't know what line in the build failure is relevant mostly don't give much information either concerning arch and other information that might be important to help finding the cause. Although... I would suggest that the OP give a more explicit question, since I was really not sure if it was a anyone seen this before?, I'm a n00b, please solve this for me! or a where should I take this to get it solved? question. Now, I don't mean to offend any users here. I don't expect everybody running Gentoo to be a programmer or linux expert. So I will say it clearly: if a user encounters an error in emerge that he doesn't know what to do with, it is entirely appropriate to post here first. Agreed Of course, but in this case it wasn't an oversight... The poster explicitly said that using march=k8 seemed to no longer be the recommendation of the docs. That implies at least _some_ looking into the subject before posting... No, Holly said that her advice was based on recent threads. A recent thread on this list involving gzip on by an amd64 user suggested trying different march options. Now, it was _bad_ advice (sorry Holly, but it was!), but Holly did say she doesn't use amd64 and wasn't sure. Ok. I just make it a point of trying to find a bit more information, than just previous threads in a user mailinglist, about the things I suggest. But I'll try being more forgiving towards those who might not next time ;) Since I'm myself using the specified platform and have had at least a bit experience with it Good. Please help educate those of us who don't have or know the amd64 platform very well! :-) Ehm... now let's not take this overboard ;) I'm by no means an expert (or even near experienced) on this arch. I'm just saying I might have at least some information that might be more relevant than a 32 bit only person might have... Also, since the originator had posted the emerge info output, I assumed that he/she was at least a bit familiar with how bug handling is handled by Gentoo. Maybe, but I still think it was pretty clear that the OP was not sure whether the problem was an actual bug or not. Maybe, but I'm still inclined to give short (and sometimes uninformative) answers to questions that doesn't really give enough information regarding both the experience level of the person, and especially what he/she wants help with. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D pgpdswVpJHBjf.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Beep holding CTRL
Since I upgrade my system recently (notably, a KDE upgrade, but lots of other things too), I've noticed a strange beep coming. It seems to only come when I've been holding down the CTRL key for a long time ( a few seconds with no other activity). But everytime I try to reproduce it conciously, it doesn't. Any idea what's causing it, and how to turn it off? Thanks David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Beep holding CTRL
Sound like accessibility support to me. Try to take a look in your kde control panel - Regional Accessibility - Accessibility. M.

Re: [gentoo-user] Double Firefox folders in /usr/lib?
Well, somewhere between 1.0.5 (where I started) and 1.0.6-r2 (where I ended up) the folder in /usr/lib changed from MozillaFirefox to mozilla-firefox I noticed this also. The old directory is pretty much empty except for a couple directories. Two specific things that I've noticed: 1) Firefox/Thunderbird inquire about being default clients again (I'm using gnome) 2) None of the plugins get recognized. I guess I will probably end up copying the plugins over from the old directory into the new directory. -Viza -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] switching to LCD monitor
On Sat, Jul 23, 2005 at 09:08:09AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Also if I understand correctly, LCD monitors are fixed - rate, so you have to buy one that has the resolution you like (not like CRT monitors where you buy the highest resolution and then display at a lower rate if you wish. Some elaboration here. You *CAN* use lower-than-native resolution. However, that usually requires interpolation. Going from 1280x1024 to 1152x864 or 1024x768 usually results in crummy display. There is one exception to this general rule. If you divide a dimension by a whole number, there isn't any interpolation. Going from 1280x1024 to 640x512 or 320x256 is supposed to be nice and clean. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
