I'm trying to get an Icecast server going this morning. I installed Globecom Jukebox over the last couple of days, and successfully ripped one CD (just 799 CDs to go (-: ). But so far, I haven't heard it actually play anything. Need icecast to get the sound to a machine with speakers. > i am having a problem with my system whereby i will come back to my > computer after a time and it will be hard locked. i can't even crash X, > it's that bad. symptoms occur most often when XMMS is left on, and > sometimes when i have it shut off (leads me to believe that it isn't > neccesarily a software problem...) symptoms started when i after i > reinstalled the system with a new video card and sound card (so it could > be either, or the hard drives...) Don't worry. It'll all be better in a couple of days when you wipe the disk and install a completely different OS. (-: If you have a second computer, pinging the crashed box is useful. When a Unix/Linux box responds to a ping, it happens inside the TCP/IP stack. If you get a pong back, then you know that the box is accepting interrupts and able to run them. That means the problem is probably outside the kernel. Otherwise, you know you have a wedged kernel, and either you've created a bad kernel config (Hi, Mike!), installed a buggy driver, or the kernel just has bugs (which never happens, because this is Linux! *-: ) Another good test is switching to a different virtual console. CTL-ALT-F1 through F9. But buggy X servers sometimes break that. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
